Dermarolling Community Trial

I've been telling you Neanderthals that it doesn't work. Doesn't mean it wasn't worth a shot though. I'm still doing it 1x a week but I know it's not doing jack.

With treatments for baldness moving at a snails pace, I don't have any other options at the moment outside of a transplant. Sucks.

I haven't tried rolling yet, and most likely will never do, because I don't think that it really works either. Might be one of those things that could work in theory, but not in practice.

Strong evidence, and I'd buzz down to a 0 and go at it full-on, with all the bloodshed it entails, now, nope.

Don't call us neanderthals. You should be happy we're willing to be the guinea pigs bleeding our damn scalps trying to find a treatment that works for us and for you all ungratefull pricks.

Maybe this won't work. We are just trying to do the best we can with the little info and resources we got. What did you expect us to do?. Take your word over a published study?. Even if in the end you're right, as I said, we have to do everything we can with as little as we have. We had to try this.

What? We still don't have clear before/after pictures and it's October? I think we can safely say this does not work now.

Thanks bro , hope they understand that soon

Since you guys are so sure this won't work, why are you still trolling this thread? You don't think this thread should even exist and none of us want you here so just leave, us rolling our head affects your live in no way so GTFO!

Yes you are right, good luck bro

u guys are so naive to discredit this treatment modality. is it the cure? of course not, but its a great addition to a multiple angled approach to treating hairloss. plus it is by far the cheapest addition to any regimen.

[Pentarou]

OK, I'm a lot more convinced of the merits of this technique after seeing Knockin's photos.

What happened to your post 5 DAYS ago that said you were slowly seeing some terminal hair?

No offense dude because I like you and we're in somewhat similar situations I feel with not being able to tolerate fin, but you're either a bad judge of whether something is working or are being overly emotional right now (hope its the emotional one, trust me I know that we all have our bad days)

I think it's the latter man. This whole balding thing just takes a toll on me.

As a far dermarolling, I mentioned I still do it because I believe it helps. The problem is that it's not helping enough. It's not improving my hairline/overall scalp density enough for me to say it 100% works and can yield results. Then again, nothing currently in the market can, so I'm just screwed either way.

What I have noticed from dermarolling is terminal hair sprouting in my hairline. I just need effing more of it man. Cosmetically, these dark hair sprouts that are forming don't mean much to me unless more sprout and I can achieve at least somewhat ok density in the area. I guess its hair greed, but it's just frustrating poking holes in my skin while biting on a sock, just to grow some terminal hairs along the hairline. I need MORE! I will continue...just hope my my situation can improve.

Chimera, easy there killer. I have been poking holes in my scalp with a freaking sock jammed in my mouth before you even know this study existed, let alone dermarolling. I have more experience with this application then 90% of those on this forum as I have been doing it for almost 8 months now.

It can help, the problem is to what degree? Those doing this need to tailor their expectations. That's been MY ISSUE. I keep getting frustrating with the lack of treatments available and the pace of when future treatments will come about, that I start putting all my eggs in this dermarolling basket. Foolish.

I said I still do it 1x a week because I think there is SOME value to the treatment. I just know now not to expect much from it, maybe maintenance at best. For those seeking immense regrowth I truly hope you have a back-up plan. That's all I'm saying.

I see context is not your strong suit. Not surprising.

It is truly pathetic how clueless you are. It amazes me that someone like you started a thread about something that might actually have some merit.

[Tracy C]

...this thread is taking too much attention!!

I wouldn't say that, though there is a bit too much crap going on. The idea this thread is about testing deserves to be tested. Though I personally feel that far too few are actually trying to duplicate the pilot study, I am happy that anybody is trying to duplicate it.

[Conpecia]

tracy no offense but you're on the proverbial wrong side of town. no way you know as much about this type of experimental stuff as hellouser. while you're busy trumpeting the big 3 he's researching hair loss in more complex ways. which is why his name is on the first post of this massive thread and not yours. simple as that.

Not really - and for the following reasons:

1) Not everyone started when this thread started. Some of us could not start right away. For example I am only on my fourth week.

2) Not everyone is trying to duplicate the pilot study. Most are doing their own thing. You need to wait for the group that is trying to duplicate the pilot study. If no one in that group gets results, then it is safe to say it does not work.

3) Realistically it would likely take at least four but more likely six months before anyone will know if this is working. Those who are expecting results in a matter of weeks are going to be disappointed.
