Hi Mattinky,

Thanks for checking in! I would say so far so good. No new regrowth yet, but I am only almost 4 weeks in with 3 treatments completed. My first week i did .3mm twice with hairmetto oils, then the two following weeks with .5mm once a week still with hairmetto. I noticed a fair amount of bleeding this last time, so I dont see the need to go much deeper right now. I can say my hair is feeling healthier and stronger. Less falling out when i rub the oils or shampoo into my scalp. So thats positive. I always wait 24 hours before using the oils to avoid too much absorption. The oils have vitamins in them, and i dont want too much in my system at once. I actually noticed some symptoms of vitamin over use, so i will do every other day with the oils now. To go over my whole scalp, i guess i am using a fair amount of oil, so i need to be careful with that. I am being patient, as i know normally it can take up to 8 weeks before seeing results. I have seen so many other methods fail that I am trying to stay positive as well. I know its a process, and i am actually yet to see one person not get results, so i dont see why it would start with me.

Thanks for update.

It is a slow process. I’m taking a more aggressive approach with 1.5mm once a week and Rogaine each day. I can tell a difference and will continue to do. I did post a before and after about a month ago. In a few weeks I will update again. Doesn’t seem to be much interest in this post anymore, I hope everyone didn’t have bad results and give up. This is my last hope to regrow hair. 🤞

I am noticing some dead skin on my used roller...i clean it before and after using with a hot water rinse, than 15 mins in 70% rubbing alcohol. If there is some dead skin, should i worry about infection even when i just soaked it? I cant use my new roller....the condition it came in is ridiculous....looks used, doesnt even roll bc the head isnt straight, and i dont wanna miss my treatment today.

What brand roller do you use?

Thanks for the info!

[mattinky]

Dry skin

My scalp is very dry and almost every time I roll the roller collects dry scalp or dandruff like substance. My roller is looking pretty rough after 2 months use so I will be ordering a new one from amazon soon. I use hot water to rinse and alcohol after each use to sterilize. Good luck and keep us posted.

So everything I am seeing indicates 2-3 months of consistancy before you see results. I still have 2 weeks before the two month mark. Were results in the beginning gradual, or did the results start showing all of a sudden (like a large portion of hair started to show at the same time? I feel like i am seeing new blonde hairs (my hair is brown). Anyway I'm curious. Still feeling very hopeful so far as hair seems stronger.

Thanks

For all those people who are following the thread, are there any results or even cases for people who only rolled without minox? Any input is appreciated.

Also what is the acceptable wait time after a transplant to resume rolling ( for 1 and 1.5 mm)?

Update 2 months later!!

Here is an update with a few pictures. I think the rolling and rogaine are helping but slow long process. I would love to hear comments and your opinion if you see results in my pictures or if I am just seeing wishful thinking results.

Guys anybody got any inputs for dermarolling without minoxidil? And how long should one wait after HT before starting.

Does anyone put any numbing cream on their head before dermarolling? Using a 1.5 mm tool is extremely painful! Would numbing cream reduce effectiveness or mess with the process? There is no mention of numbing cream in the original protocol

Looks great and only 2 months.

I am now using the pen and getting use to the pain. You don't have to push so hard that it bleeds so maybe lighten up if you are doing that.

I just started my first treatment earlier this week. I am going between a .3mm and .5mm twice a week (alternating). I will hold off on 1.5mm until i see the results of my current treatment. I heard with the longer needles (above .5mm) there could be risk of scaring, so keep an eye out for that. I am combining my derma roller with hairmetto oils daily, but wait 24 hours after a derma session. I will provide the results i am seeing as i go.

could you please specify where you read about risk of scarring with above 0.5mm?
thanks

the pics need to be with same light, lenght of hair, and time after hairwash.
to be comparable.

Hair loss is getting common these days. I suggest you ship your curable cream form a genuine supplier. Your cream can be delivered to you from air freight service
