My 3 month Results

[Vic]

4 month update, a little late but pic was taken at 4 month mark.

I've been shedding since I started using Copper peptides, the worst shedding has taken place in the last 2 weeks. When I pinch my hair and pull gently, there are about 4-6 hairs each time.

I also took a break from rolling after the 3rd month like the study says. Will prob start again soon.

My temples are filling in by the day. Only reason I'm not totally freaking out about the amount of hair I'm shedding. I have terminal hairs growing as low as where my hairline was when I was 18. Hoping it continues. Will keep posting progress or lack there of.

When I take cold shower I have feeling that it doesn't remove oil and dirt :\

wash hot 1st

Do you use a shampoo? And the point is to not wash away all the oil. Some oil is healthy.

The blood flow returns to the scalp on its own. You don't need to warm the scalp. Once the body compresses from the cold, blood flow is amped up naturally by the heart to send blood to all extremities.

Is every shower cold?

Have you thought about an ice pack on top of your head? Like an ice bath or maybe a shower 5-10 minutes of cold compresses the blood vessels pushing old blood out then hitting your head with a warm blow dry expands the vessels causing new blood to come in. Would stand to reason to have nutrients already in Your system. when blood returns it has the methods to rebuild that area. Your thoughts?

None the less your doing well. That 3200 could of put a nice dent fire a HT. Who did your PRP?

Every shower is cold. As cold as it gets now a days.
I've considered it. Placing a cold pack on my scalp in the evenings while watching TV or reading. Haven't done it, maybe one day. That would also benefit my brown fat production.
Smart man Hicks. I actually take my vitamins, Borage Oil and B complex about 30-45 mins before I shower so that its in my system before the "blood swap" occurs.
$3200 would've been a nice dent. That's one of the main reasons I didn't continue with PRP. That and the fact that a $10 Derma Roller does the same exact thing. The rate of growth i'm experiencing now is blowing my mind, if rate of growth continues, there won't be a need for a hair transplant in 12-18 months. I'll put up my 4 month mark next week.
Don't remember the docs name but it was in Beverly Hills. Either way, not spending another penny on it.

And good luck, let me know how you do.

And read the study. Use what they used to sterilize the scalp before treatment, dip the roller in 70% alcohol before and after use.

[Vic]

There were a lot of people who tried it when the study came out. Very few had results. But some used smaller rollers, some were on Fin, etc etc changing the treatment in the study.

Its also painful. I'm guessing a lot didn't push hard enough for the nedles to reach or get near the hair follicles. Not that you should push hard but getting the 1.5mm pins down 1.5mm's into your scalp doesn't happen with just shoftly and gently rolling. It takes a little pressure.

And then there's always; not all treatments work equally for everyone.

thanks for your quick replies.


i took your advice and just ordered the 1.5 mm. I am going to try it once a week, when it arrives.

Why do you think more ppl are not trying derma rolling, or put it down so often?

1- areas that had peach fuzz grew darker and longer. Areas that were totally bald started growing peach fuzz, now also gaining color.
2- experience some level of growth in all areas.
3- take a look at the top view of my head between month 1 & 2
4- very happy, just wish I found the study before I spent $3200 on PRP. Lol
5- I had a minox shed that lasted less then 2 months but when I added copper peptides about 9 weeks into the treatment I started shedding again and still am. There was a point around week 7-9 which seemed like wasn't losing a single strand of hair.

Hi Vic I had a couple of questions to ask you about your experience with this

1. DId areas that were bald previously regrow hair? And if so, what was the quality of the hair? Peach fuzz/minitiaurized/quality hair/
2. Did all areas (frontal. crown, temples) respond to the rolling equally, or or were some areas more difficult than others?
3. Did you notice results before the 3 month mark?
4. Overall, are you happy with your results?
5. did you experience a minox shed when you were using it in conjunction with the rolling?

thanks

[Vic]

Great improvement!

How often do you derma roll for and for how long? eg, once a week for 5 minutes, 2 times a week for 10 minutes...

Thanks

Thanks! I roll once a week for about 10-15 mins. I bleed every time. Small pin size blood spots all over. I found that rolling slowly gets me better improvements each week. I used to push n roll quickly to get it over with. Now I slowly roll.
It hurts, I roll a quick back n forth motion all over my scalp then start following the study instructions. It kinda makes my scalp number so when I go at it, pain is less.
I roll pretty much until I feel my scalp is irritated and more painful to roll. That's when I stop

OK, I think you derma roll once a week, but how long, on average, do you derma roll for in minutes?

Do you ever bleed from derma rolling?
