Dermarolling Community Trial

[DesperateOne]

just had my 3rd session. gotta man up indeed, shit doesn't feel particularly pleasant.

also finally got minox liquid in, gonna jump from foam to liquid for better absorption (although i'm still not applying until 24 hrs after rolling, in line with the study).

was definitely bleeding this time, made sure to go all the way in and all around the hairline. i'm hoping i'll get results from my regimen, can't think of any stronger hairloss regimen right now, and it's nice having dermarolling as the least proven method in my arsenal...

Yeah, that shit is no fun, I just want to quit halfway most of the time.
When do you plan to post pictures?

I'm using the 0.5mm once a week and find it painful while you guys are using 1.5mm!!! I tolarated a strip procedure and a chest BHT into scar surgery but NOT this. I guess Im a P***y when it comes to dermarolling lol

[thinningTooSoon]

I started on Sunday am using 1.5mm roller, painful but lets hope it's worth it, I have taken pictures and will upload if I get improvements to show you all.

Quick question, how often do you wash your hair? I ask because I am wondering if the scabbing over is part of the wound healing process and would washing the hair interrupt this process?

Doke I have seen you troll around in this forum plenty. You seem to have a problem with certain people including Tracy. Something tells me you are working for Merk and you want propecia to stay active, who knows maybe you're Joe from Staten Island and you want to keep the cure for yourself.

nope get angry with some who think they own the forum and there own threads but as many may know me at other forums im no troll and as for propecia i do not indorse it as i use avodart due to my health.
I have said it maybe best for younger guys to start with propecia combined with minox but thats what every hair loss adviser with any inteligence says at this time and i agree with them although we know some are trialing bimatoprost as it may work better than minox but its too pricey if you want to use 1ml a day.

I shower and shampoo then derma roller. After dermaroll I rinse my hair with water, let hair dry and use warm liquid coconut oil.

I wash my hair everyday and use a conditioner. I use nizoral 1% 3 times a week. mon wed fri

Hope this helps. Everyones body will react differnt. Listen to your body.

I am using Bio-oil on some days after I apply liquad minoxal.

Since Nizoral is used for skin infections in scalp, would it be good idea to use it in the day we dermaroll as a way to prevent some infection caused by it? Would this affect somehow the replication of the study? I mean same way as some of us use dettol to clean the dermaroller, we could use nizoral to "clean" the scalp?

Edit: I mean using Nizoral in the shower before dermarolling

Saline, betadine and a clean derma roller, as per the study.

[Conpecia]

after you guys roll what do you do? i shower off because there is some blood on my scalp but i don't apply anything, should i do so?

head is sore today from rolling yesterday. will apply minox liquid tonight thoroughly.

hey desperate, i'm going to post pics after about 12 weeks unless i see some serious regrowth earlier.

remember, i'm also on dutasteride and regenepure, so i'm sure that stuff will help me but it may skew my dermarolling results. if i happen to get regrowth in the hairline i'll attribute more of that to rolling, but crown should be filled in by dutasteride and regenepure i think.

Haha, I was just messing with you, nothing serious.

You and everyone should post their pictures and results regardless of regrowth. We need info good or bad in order to perfect the technique. Since my hair was essentially shit, I now shower every other day, so I won't lose that many hairs in the shower. However, that is a good point, I don't know if that helped me or hurt me in any way.

I use it that way, nizoral once a day, the day of the rolling before I roll.
