Dermarolling Community Trial

[Dav7]

Out of curiosity, is anybody trying this also contemplating a hair transplant? Would dermarolling be a bad idea before getting a HT, I have a suspicion that it might be.

[FearTheLoss]

That's exactly what I'll do, because so far I think are few scientifically conclusions.

I prescribe a lot, because this type of procedure can cause inflammation of the scalp, take a look at this link:

oh my god, this is actually from derma rolling?

[LevonHelms]

What a bunch of weiners.

Translating the page to English, it looks as if the guy had a very badly infected scalp caused by follicles doing something (more or less, cant remember, translation was off too).

Thats definitely not from dermarolling though, it was something else.

Not necessarily. It is basically an inflammation or infection caused by bacteria, which will gradually spreading. At the most, it is a serious disease, and painful too early.

Guys, be careful with this procedure with Dermarolling! Do proper aseptic!

Those are some seriously frightening pictures! However in over 3 years of dermarolling my scalp at about ever one and a half weeks I have had no problems.

I normally let the dermaroller soak in peroxide for over an hour and then put it under the steaming hot faucet right before I use it. But to be extra careful I will add alcohol to the mix for my own ease of mind....bc again, those pictures are freaky!

I'm a believer in the dermaroller but do wonder if there are long term side effects, but these 3 and a half years have been fine with no issues and what I consider good results.

I have used a 1mm during that time and recently started using a 1.5mm. Im also on fin, keto 2%, lasercomb, prp yearly, however, ive been doing that well before starting dermaroller.

Over 3 years?

Do you have photos of before and after, to see the results? It really is too long!

How do you know, no one does, if he is fine after 3 years then apparently its not too long! not attacking you Julio but we are experimenting

It is possible to have a staph infection with a dermaroller (mine is 0.75 longer)?

I want to try this with Minox and Kéto cream.

[hellouser]

The dude in those photos had cellulitis. Its caused by an infection. Here's more info on that:

If you're going to dermaroll, make sure to keep your rollers as clean as possible. I rinse mine with hot water and use an old toothbrush to get rid of dried up blood from the roller, then leave it in isopropanol 99% overnight.

Unfortunately I don't have good before pictures since this was before the forum trial and was doing it for me. However, I am genuinely curious as to why you think 3 years is to long? I'm afraid if I stop I would lose my good results.

I understand totally if you're skeptical of my results without proof, but all I can do is tell youit has helped greatly in my hairline. I've seen it turn a lot of hairs from vellus, but again this could be from my combo of other treatments including PRP with Dr. Greco.

Friends , I believe the results of you, even without photos .

Too bad not everyone posted photos to make better monitoring, but I'm sure the fact just looking if there was significant improvement after a few months , you can already notice .

I think three years , is a significant time. In fact , I've used almost all topical products that are on the market . I was making the selection of what worked best for me . Today I know that if something does not work well in 4 months , I can leave for another treatment . In my opinion, no point in insisting on a very treatment that shows no improvement in 4 months .

Maybe that treatment with Dermarolling need a little more time, between 6 months and 1 year . But if there is any improvement in that time , I think it is better to try another treatment , because this is a much more aggressive treatment .

We are all in this fight , until something that really works arise .

Good luck to you , I'll keep watching the topic.

Hugs .

A staph infection is a possibility with any open wound so it goes without saying to be as sterile as possible, in 8 weeks I have gone thru 1.5 bottles of iso alcohol, I wipe my scalp with it, soak my roller before after and during rolling. I almost had my knee amputated from a MRSA staph infection its no joke, it started with a sliver of metal in my knee the size of a small splinter

That was some scary a$$ pics huh

Wounding without minoxidil was tried decades ago. They failed to get more thatn just vellus hair.

Don't listen to this guy chimera, if that's the case people with wounds would not grow NEW normal looking hair post surgery. Also where is his trial that was tried decades ago? Minoxidil may not be needed so if you want to go that route than try it, don't listen to people so quick to promote drugs.

The thing is, wounding may produce new hair, but the level of wounding we are doing with the dermaroller is not enough...

That's the study I was talking about...


Also, I am not promoting drugs... I don't like them, and I wish we could stop hair loss without them, but I don't know if that's possible...
