Dermarolling Community Trial

[Chromeo]

Didn't the trial use 0.5mm with sufficient results?

Nope. 1.5mm.

"The shaven scalp was prepared with betadine and normal saline. A dermaroller of 1.5 mm sized needles was rolled over the affected areas of the scalp in a longitudinal, vertical, and diagonal directions until mild erythema was noted, which was considered as the end point of the procedure."

My dermaroller has arrived.
But so far the dermarolling result is good or not?
Can anyone dermarolling report your latest condition?

We have absolutely no results so far.

We have absolutely no results so far.

I've seen results. I've felt the stubble growing longer in the thinner areas. The growth is minor but it's there.

I do am seeing results, so I think it works to a certain degree. But I am 100% convinced no one is going to get the awesome results the study suggested.

I have a lot, and I mean A LOT of new small hairs all over my scalp (they are not vellus, they are terminal hairs, but very, very small... maybe they will get as big as the rest of my hair, but if they do, it will probably take many, many hair cycles for it... probably even years).

Anyway... I'm going to continue... as I am more interested in see what it does for my existing hair...

Is there any use in starting this if I'm not using Minoxidil?

I've been dermarolling since august and I do it every 3rd week. Shedding has gone way down and I see traces of my juvenile hairline now. So it works but it takes longer to see results than the 6 weeks the study suggests, and I doubt that the 12 week photos are really from week 12 - rather 6-8 months. I'm not saying i'm about to regrow all of my juvenile hairline, because that's just not realistic, but there is definitely progress.

I'm also on fin and has been for about 4 years, but even on fin I would be shedding. Especially in the past year or so I've been shedding a lot, and I could very easily pull out hairs. Around October shedding was reduced significantly and regrowth is now getting more and more obvious.. But it takes time to see results, more than 6 weeks.

And I use minox too of course, but only once a day as opposed to the 2 times a day in the study.

So you should definitely give a try, but give it more than 6 weeks.

I really think there is something to this, I think we're just missing some key ingredient or have to work out some timing issue. This is why I'm hopeful that Follica will come out with something.

I too can feel small hairs on my scalp like little pricks when I run my fingers over my head, it feels similar to when I had my hair transplant when the hairs started growing. The difference is that the hair transplant hairs grew, but these little hairs seem to be stuck in limbo which is why I think we're missing something. I'm going to continue with this for a full year to see if they mature or not.

I'm still thinking its FGF-9... god damn it I wanna try it. If only we knew its safety.
