Dermarolling Community Trial

[Pentarou]

I'm tempted to try out Finasteride and see what it can do to the temples... either that or Dutasteride but I know both are dangerous. I'm getting desperate.

I advise trying fin, seeing your circumstances. At worst you'd maintain as-is (see the 10 year finasteride study), at best it'd give a boost to the other treatments you're using, as there would be less follicle-wrecking DHT swimming through your system.

Don't think too much if at all about side effects or you'll never start the treatment, side effects are a possibility with anything, minoxidil certainly as well, it comes with the territory unfortunately: we're adults and know that everything has risks, even if statistically unlikely. And statistically speaking, side effects are the exception, not the norm, and certainly aren't inevitable.

Don't contemplate dutasteride now, certainly not as a first port of call. I'd wait and see if GSK get it through phase III for hair loss.

it's funny how a bunch of forum members are finding better treatments and providing better pictures than ACTUAL PAID SCIENTISTS...unreal


but this dermarolling is huge

I'm in the same shitty spot as you. My temples and hairline has been decimated and the hairs at the very edge of my hairline are quite thin, not a lot of density either. My hairstylists did mention she saw a LOT of velus hairs in my temples but I doubt anything will happen to them. Density wise I seem to be 'OK' up top but if I could get about 1,600 - 1,800 grafts on my hairline and temples I'd be really happy.

I'm getting desperate myself, but I just can't come to terms with taking FIN. It was so damaging to my body and mind when I was on it. That being said I still sometimes say why not start at a very lose and go from there...but I just recall the sides back when I was on it and I just can't do it.

It's sad. I'll go bald before reliving what Propecia did to me. Hate this curse. I'll be looking to book with Rahal in the next 6 months.

5th roll with pics, no numbing cream B#tches lol, applied more pressure this time, not as much blood as I thought with that much more pressure, felt it deeper in my scalp though after looking at the pics I definitely bled more this week, 1st pic was last week 2nd a few minutes ago, definitely pulled a lot of hair out though, dammit

No, worst case, continue to lose hair...

Now that's a rolling session if I could say so myself. Wow.

Almost looks like a post-op mega FUE transplant. Well-Done man. Hope you see some regrowth from these great dermarolling sessions. Keep us posted.

This can't be good for the follicles..is everyone else getting this much blood?

[saintsfan92344]

everytime I roll I get more blood, besides I am getting half as much as some guys at ***

wow fair play, I think I'll start going a bit harder. I noticed a few posters on *** properly going to town on their heads as well!

[Pentarou]

Roll call of anyone still in the rolling game, please guys?

[win200]

I'm still in the game. Only on my 4th session. Hard to tell if it's working; I'm also on fin and minoxidil, just started Avodart. Any regrowth would probably be nestled behind my transplanted hair.

[Pentarou]

I didn't see anything until my 8th session at least, and only then vellus hair. This seems to be like using fin, Avodart, minox etc, as in it will take time to get any progress...

[saintsfan92344]

I will be doing my 6th roll sunday, using minox, no results other than shedding but hopefully I will have a fro by summer

Back in at week 6 after having to take a few weeks out.

[TO YOUNG TO RETIRE]
