Dermarolling Community Trial

[JDW]

I really didn't think there was anything to this dermarolling/wounding thing.

But, I have to say, just yesterday I was at the beach and I noticed a guy with significant (but well-healed) scars across a section of his back.

Surrounding these scars and all along them: hairs. The rest of his back was quite hairless but there was an easily visible "hair line" across his scars.

So either dermarolling isn't the right kind of wounding, or people are doing it wrong (too deep or too shallow), or some other factor is at play. But wounding+new hair growth is absolutely real.

Interesting stuff. What I would add to this is that many people are only on week 3, 4 or 5 of the trial which in the original version lasted for 12 weeks with the results collated at that point.

There is no doubt it's real, the science is there. It seems that most cases I have seen of real hair growth was on a significant wound. That obviously suggest that we're not doing enough damage, already ordered a 2.5mm but I have to get some numbing cream or else I won't be able to tolerate it. Will do some major wounding and maybe wait like 10 days.

Not necessarily. Could just be that the damage is sufficient but the wound needs to stay open longer for the growth factors to intervene. The intensity of wounding isn't the only variable in the equation. And I understand that you guys are thinking the deeper the wound, the longer it will stay open, but that doesn't necessarily improve odds of new hairs imo

It'll be interesting to see how many report positive results when we reach the 12 week mark. I think it's great that a lot of us are pushing ahead and trying different approaches already, but I really want to be sure that the findings in the study can be replicated, first and foremost.

did he have hairy right hand as well.

I don't understand the reference.

I'm just about to undertake my 8th session. No significant results as of yet.

Fred, you need to lay off the forums, I don't know why but your negativity is always here. Even among us, you're like the most depressing and loose case on the MPB forums.

I have to say that diffuse thinners will see better results, if you're slick on the temples, there is little chance of you getting anything. just my opinion.

[fred970]

You know I'm a pure diffuse thinner right? I still have like 10 hairs on my temples, if I see 20 in December, I'll let you guys know.

I'm not negative, just sceptical.

[walrus]

Scepticism can be a good thing. Lets not get carried away until we see some more results.

I don't see any negativity from the comment you quoted. I'm over a month in as well and I don't see a visible difference either.

Aren't you still shedding though? I would be surprised if you will see much success if you haven't stabilized your hair loss a bit first.
