    The first time you use a derma roller, it will be uncomfortable, but as you use it more you will get more used to it.

    Hello again! I'm a tad more than 3 months in (with pics to post soon) and really I'm astounded... Temple regrowth is slow but my crown has improved enough that I've gotten people tell me that my old bald spot is almost unnoticeable. All in all- I've made some serious progress that I'm hoping to post when I have access to a computer again

    Also- still no sides.

    But! I added one simple thing to my regiment- a bristled brush. What I notices is that this helped exfoliate the scalp and help me judge how much I was actually shedding.

    I've been shedding about 10x non terminal hairs per brushing (2x a day) when I added RU, I had large enough sheds that I was worried all of my hair was going to fall out, along with itching and uuugh- it did not make me feel good. I'm about 1.5 mo in on 100mg RU / day.

    At this point its interesting, I will still get a HT, but I cut my target by about 1.5k grafts, and am mostly focusing on the hairline now. I've actually been asked to give my regiment to friends and family due to the sucesses I've seen at the back end of the crown.

    In general- I cut out creatine / androgenics and contined to excersize and eat well with this current regiment since month 1.

    This picture was taken with flash on and in intense light, vs the original which is just ambient light.

    I've had a few people question me already wondering where my bald spot went... Huge confidence boost. Looking forward to months 3-6.

    At this point I'd say my hair-loss has stabilized. ~2500 graft HT imminent when i find a doctor.

    What I do:

    Fin, 1.25, 2 mL generic rogaine, 0.75 ru58841, dermaroll when i feel like it.

    NICE! where do you purchase RU from? Have you been consistent with it and does it still give you massive sheds?

    From kane- and yes, I shed for about a month every 6 months; hydrocortizone 2x a week during shedding periods seems to help slow the shed.

    In other news, I just recieved my first HT- ~3000 grafts to reinforce the frontal foelock and frontal crown area. The experience was good; I'll link to the doctor's post when its put up here.
