UPDATE: I think this will help a lot of guys out, I found a way that it seems reduce the pain a lot, by at least half. So when we're rolling or wounding, we usually just focus on the procedure, so that immediately boosts the pain. I think it's kinda like when you're eating lunch and if you actually pay attention to the taste, you will savor your lunch, if you just talk and eat, well then you will not taste much. So what I did was, I got a picture of a girl I like, and stared at it while wounding with my other hand. I wear on my life that it made it super less painful, to the point to where it was almost not noticeable. Anyways, it doesn't have to be a girl, but I suppose that with sex on your mind should reduce the pain the most. Good luck everyone.

I don't know if I want to laugh or be concerned that we have a pedophile on our hands....

Dude that's one of the weirdest comments I have ever seen on an online forum. I don't even want to know what you do with your "photo's" in your spare time.

Sweet god that was creepy.

So is anyone seeing any results?

I have noticed a 3 hairs starting to grow thick solid black. Although i cannot be sure if its just because i'm looking closer. I have hope. I do have a 0.5x1cm patch on the back of my head just below the balding area which i have derma rolled as well. If it grows here wow. I have done 3 sessions all over the top now with the last being the harshest looking similar to hellousers picture. Raising my eye brows the next day i could feel the scalp pain. 48 hrs later its gone though. I'm using a 1.5mm roller with 540 pins and minox once a day, not applied on day of rolling. Also i was lazy with minox for the last month and the hair doesn't seem to have gone any thinner.

The next few weeks will be very telling.

Thanks for the reminder Tracy. I said this on another forum: how long before someone really injures himself or get an infection?

We must remain cautious. We should try to reproduce the study. Who knows? Maybe the study is flawed and it will do absolutely nothing. Just some healthy scepticism here.

This is very important. In science, if the results of a study are going to be "tested", the first thing to do is try to reproduce the results using the exact same methodology. If similar results are observed while using the exact same methodology, then it is time to experiment with the methodology to see if the results can be improved upon.

I am unable to reproduce the exact same methodology but I plan to match it as closely as possible - and drawing blood is not on the agenda.

hi tracy look at this:

In this study, we demonstrate the feasibility to use microneedle arrays manufactured from commercially available 30G hypodermal needles to enhance the transport of compounds up to a molecular weight of 72 kDa.

Piercing of human dermatomed skin with microneedle arrays was studied by Trypan Blue staining on the SC side of the skin and transepidermal water loss measurements (TEWL). Passive transport studies were conducted with Cascade Blue (CB, Mw 538), Dextran–Cascade Blue (DCB, Mw 10 kDa), and FITC coupled Dextran (FITC-Dex, Mw 72 kDa). Microneedle arrays with needle lengths of 900, 700 and 550 μm are able to pierce dermatomed human skin as evident from (a) the appearance of blue spots on the dermal side of the skin after Trypan Blue treatment and (b) elevated TEWL levels after piercing compared to non-treated human dermatomed skin. Microneedles with a length of 300 μm did not pierce human skin in vitro. Transport studies performed with model compounds ranging from 538 Da to 72 kDa revealed that pretreatment with microneedle arrays enhanced the transport across dermatomed human skin. However, some degradation was also observed for FITC-Dex and DCB. We conclude that assembled microneedle arrays can be used to deliver compounds through the skin up to a molecular weight of at least 72 kDa.

hi tracy look at this:

One pilot study at a time. I only have one head to work with. LOL

haha, I can see why this would be creepy, well I should rephrase that, it is a woman, not a girl. Anyways, I was just sitting on computer doing the rolling and I have a picture, I was just day dreaming about her. Anyways, the point was to do something else while doing the rolling to take the pain off your mind. Since most guys are already thinking about sex and girls 90% of the time, I figured this would be a no brainer, I guess I was wrong .

So you're a diffuse thinner or a regular receding hairline? Are you rolling or pressing down on the roller until you feel the thing flushed. I don't know why, but I am unable to take out any blood from my scalp, I can hear the velcro sound but no blood. It does get really freaking red, but no blood. Good luck!!!

I was wondering if I have the correct equipments to clean the wounding. I have some saline spray I use to clean the scalp pre roll, then some sanitising wipes for after and some savlon antiseptic cream.
Anyone think this is a good method? Its hard to get betadine now, and I am struggling to even get rubbing alcohol.

A few pics of a scar which has been hair free for years. No previous pics sorry. Can see tiny black dots. First pics i've taken 3 weeks in. I don't know about all the short black hairs as i don't trim my hair that short and if there that thick they should grow as fast as the rest ? Or i just cut really badly :s

Does anyone know if this works for scarring on the head, like ragsta has?

Will this regrow hair in scarred areas? I have something similar. If anyone could comment eith any insights that'd be great.
