Dermarolling Community Trial

[Stocione]

I was thinking these dermapens may be a way of reducing pain.

If I can replicate the results using a dermarolling, my next step would be to combine a dermaroller with a dermapen. Apparently they might have separate wounding effects, with the dermapen going deeper but the roller hitting a larger surface area.

The dermapen is an in out motion stabbing while the roller is pivoting out and in of the skin. The roller inflicts more damage especially on the surface but the pen can get deeper without causing as much truma and potentially less pain. The ladies having dermapen work on their faces appear to be in way less pain than the roller in fact some say it is quite soothing?

First we need to replicate results and then start honing the technique from there but it looks promising especially for guys who just want to wound small areas.

Follica are years ahead of us on this and they are talking of much larger wounds?

Hmm... I cut my hands trying to pry open an external hard drive (enclosure's controller died). I'm now left with some small scabs. I wonder if I should have tried applying minoxidil and seeing if I'd get hair growth.

This might seem weird but every time I roll I sneeze a lot... Just wondering does this happen to anyone else?

Is anyone using growth factors in combination with this trial? I am thinking of getting some...

I get a runny nose and sometimes I sneeze too.

I drop some tears and i sneeze too..

I got my dermaroller today and I tried rolling it on my head, it stung like hell. Especially in the patches affected by Alopecia Areata, they stung the most and they turned a pink color. I did it with little to no pressure and it hurt like hell, but no blood though. I'm looking in to numbing creams, any suggestions?

Better to shed a tear than shed more hair.

It's weird as hell, I used to sneeze almost every time when I roll on my hairline..

On closer look with a picture with flash, I do see bloody little dots on my scalp.

[baldnotbeautiful]

i raped my scalp so hard tonight i could feel my heartbeat in it lol. was weird sensation. literally when my heartbeat my scalp was pulsing at the same time.

oh and...you shouldn't need a picture with flash to see bloody dots...unless you have a ton of density

what size dermaroller are you guys using? I feel like using the 0.5mm but I'm worried it wouldn't be enough for me. I'd probably be uncomfortable with the 1-1.5mm dermarollers
