    The problem with aggressive micro-needling is that there is really no longterm studies that have been conducted on the formation of scar tissue within the scalp that can ultimately adversely effect hair growth. If you couple that with potential tissue irritants found in these topical vehicles the potential for irreversible damage is certainly there. I really think people need to exercise caution when doing this, real damage can be caused.
    Its a good point and maybe long term we should be looking to only test in a small area. Experimentally a 5cm by 5cm test area would be all you would need to prove out any combos of treatment.

    I won't be dermarolling much longer. No results and I have been doing it for a few months. Not worth the possible risk for me at this point moving forward.

    It's not the solution, although Hellouser made some interesting points regarding the treatment, it just won't work. It's not the treatment that will save us or show significant results. I've been doing it and it hasn't worked for me to this point.

    Going to try the growth factors with CB as my final stand.

    Talking about rolling, I've been using 0.5 mm for over a year and I cant say I noticed any change, MAYBE JUST MAYBE, a few new hairs, but I'm also on devine herbal oil and MSM for a year now...
