Dermarolling Scalp 1x a week might be too much.

[Thinning87]

I have always been skeptical about DIY dermarolling because as Follica published, you don't just wound the skin, you also stimulate the right pathways if you want to grow hair.

Dermarolling might actually be bad for you because you end up damaging the existing follicles which, due to the lack of natural expression of FGF9 and/or related factors, just scar rather then create new and stronger follicles.

I have read this point on the forums before and wouldn't be surprised if this is what's happening to you guys

there is truly nothing beyond fin/dut/minox/ht. things have gotten really bleak the last 6 months. i have no clue when we're going to see a cure. 3 years ago i was sure that histogen or some advancement would be around by 2016 at the absolute latest. now there's no way i'd put money on that. i haven't even been on this forum in months because there's so little going on, and i used to be here every day for a couple years.

How's the the dut going? You experiencing side effects? I'm considering 0.25mg of fin 3x a week to add to derma rolling and was curious how you were getting on.

i have had good crown regrowth, been on dut since august. hairline is unfortunately still receding though...

i'm giving the dut a full year to see what happens, at that point i'll consider an ht if there is stabilization of the hairline.

no sides other than a little achiness in the balls the first couple weeks and a major shed that lasted a few months. but now i barely see hair in the shower, pillow, etc. no clue why more people aren't on dut.
