Dermarolling Community Trial

[Stocione]

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

How hard are you rolling and what length are you using? Seeing significant amounts of blood?

[hellouser]

I just dermarolled yesterday seeing how last week I wasn't very vigorous with my session. I know I pressed harder this time, but I get this weird feeling that each time I dermaroll, I bleed more easily than the following week. It's been about 4-5 sessions of dermarolling and I've yet to see any positive results from using Minox and CB with it. I'm going to be ordering RU next week as well and get back on it.

Also, I've gone against waiting a full 24 hours before applying Minoxidil and applied it around 9 hours later. I don't believe waiting 24 hours is in line with the healing time simply because the microneedling wounds heal extremely quickly, probably within the 24 hour period.

Here's how I sliced up my scalp.

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.

Good point

Shedding has decreased significantly, but I'm still shedding, yes. Probably around 50 or so hairs a day.

[TO YOUNG TO RETIRE]

hellouser two points

a)do you heal completely untill some time before the next roll?aint there the time gap that the gfs are released no?

b)are we sure the cb properties dont influence the wounding theory in a way we dont want?


advice. buzz it until you regrow it and for better rolls and pics to compare

Good to hear but yeah, I think you need to get on RU before you'll see much. CB just doesn't work at the doses we are using... Also four to five weeks is not enough to notice anything besides increased rate of hair growth according to the study. The first appearance of new hairs was six weeks and that was likely only in a handful of the best responders.

Wounding might have a place in the future for MPB, buts its far from a sure bet and like everything else is going to take lots of time and research to figure out to best use it. People doing it on there own as usual is never representative of the kind of results it can actually get when done properly.

Holy shit hellouser you're not f**king around!! I guess I need to step my game up

Also I might be imagining things but I feel like something is happening for me. It's too early for any real hair to be visible but I think my scalp is becoming darker which would indicate that smaller dark hairs may be starting to pop up. Maybe I'll pick up a macro lens to see if anything is going on.

Do you wash the blood off your scalp afterwards, or let it sit overnight?

If you've showered in the morning even, with warm water, shouldn't there be no scabbing or 'thin brown marks' as you say?

Well take some pics or no one will believe shit. Haha, you also believe that we need to step our game up with the rolling. What is your Norwood and regimine

I do take pics, but nothing really shows up at this point. My norwood is a little difficult to tell, since I've had a hair transplant, but I am a very diffused nw 6 if it wasn't for the transplanted hair in the front half of my head.

As for regimen I'm following the study exactly with the addition of fin that I've been on for a few years.

just finished my 5th session, really went to town over the whole mpb area. bleeding around temples.

should we shower or clean our scalps? read on *** some guys just sleep and wash the blood off the next morning. any logic to that?

I don't see the point in leaving the blood on, there isn't anything leaving that blood on your scalp will accomplish aside from making you look worse. The magic is happening down at the follicles, not on the surface of your scalp. I usually roll at night right before I take a shower and wash my head in the shower.
