Someone said me that we can destroy fibrosis.
You have to use castor oil + DMSO.

Perhaps you can. I don't know that. But when fibrosis infiltrates he whole hair follicle structure it replaces that hair follicle with scar tissue. It simply destroys the hair follicle. For instance in a unit of 3 hair follicles close together it might destroy 2 of them, leaving you with 1. Now maybe you can get rid of that scar tissue but those hair follicles that were destroyed won't be there anymore. Only creation of new hair follicles will do.

Yeah you're right !!
You can create new follicles with dermarolling and Lcl!! Methyl vanilate is good too.

Cotsarelis doesn't believe that that male pattern baldness can be completely reversed;

Completely, incompletely, I think the cure for longevity will be a hard thing to come by, too. I agree with Cotsarelis in that cures have been few and far between. Big pharma has spent foolishly on blue chip shareholder dividends since the 1980s and very few blockbuster drugs to show for it. We're relying on starving hair biologists the likes of Christiano and Cotsarelis for understanding the genetic code of hairloss. Tsuji is promising a lot by 2020. I hope he doesnt turn out to be another Coen Gho, as talented a HTdoctor as he is today.

In reversible types of alopecia (e.g., alopecia areata), inflammation targets hair follicle progenitor cells but spares hair follicle stem cells. In these disorders, regrowth occurs with suppression of inflammation and subsequent regeneration of the hair follicle from uninjured stem cells (5). Our finding that Androgenetic Alopecia, in the clinical category of nonscarring alopecia, demonstrated preservation of hair follicle stem cells suggests potential reversibility of this condition.(Garza, Yang, Zhao, Cotsarelis et al, 2011)

I just want an effective treatment as do we all. A cure? I don't think there will be very many of those soon. I've read Follica's upcoming clinical trial will be categorized as "open" and testing for effectiveness of the treatment across all norwoods and age groups as opposed to testing for efficacy, or a tighter protocol limted to just the low norwood numbers. Sounds like they want to hard test their treatment platform against the general public with respect to Androgenetic Alopecia?

Comparing Tsuji to Gho is pretty insulting....

I dont know much about either of them just that the word cure and "completely reversible" are completely out of sync with the state of medical science at this point in time. It will be a giant leap if we progress from marginal effectiveness of min and finasteride to effective treatments for regrowth and even HF neogenesis I think. I think Cotsarelis was just being realistic when he said we should be careful about using the word, cure. None of Cots, Christiano or Tsuji have god-like abilities as far as I can tell?

I'm still confused about them asking the general public if anyones had results from using jaks for male pattern baldness.

Is it a hint? Is it a call to arms?

Sorry to side track. I noticed awhile back you had started Dermarolling. How you getting on?

Its going well... lots of vellus hairs are coming in below the hairline in my right temple.

That's great. I've seen a varying degrees of appreciation for Dermarolling. I've only just started. I'll be on my third session tomorrow.
I noticed that you were using stemoydine at one point. But not now?

I see folks are using lithium chloride and feel that's working out for them.

I'm no huge science boff, so I was wondering whether it matters if it's a chloride or a sulphate or carbonate?
I read today that follica tried some lithium compound gel in their studies but it was a 3 legged horse.

It would be great if a jak would worm its way into the available world at a reasonable price. I like to observe Dermarolling users with it in their artillery. But strictly as an observer for now.

I am.

 

[Skin]

Ah wow.

Sorry to be so novice lol. But essentially why would it matter if it was a chloride as opposed to a carbonate? Also follica didn't find any benefit from a lithium gel. Can't remember though what type it was.

I'm thinking of heading dowm this route but I don't want to muddy the waters of my current routine.

I've been on topical finasteride and min for nearly 3 months. Started stemox 3 weeks back with Dermarolling.

I would definitely say it finasteride and min have kicked in a bit at least. I also have a some interesting temple activity. Which is strange as I took finasteride and min 3 years ago and just had a thickening of the hair I had left. Double weird is that ive noticed this slight temple growth prior to Dermarolling and stemox.

All early doors though, im 37 so I'm not expecting miracles.

Can you link me to a efficient castor oil product to use along with DMSO?

 

[Skin]

God damn it. It was jaks this year that got me back into this whole hair restoration game. I stopped all efforts 3 years ago and accepted my fate. I was pretty much over it, grade 1 no more checking my thatch every other shop window. Then jaks got me a jacked again and I'm back on the wagon watching every little hair in a magnified mirror! Lol.

Sorry I don't have one.
But you just need to buy a simple castor oil, liquid form.
You put it in a bottle 40% DMSO and 60% Castor oil.
You apply where you have bald spot and you let 3hours.
You have to do this process until it no more burn.

There are loads of castor oil products for hair out there. Why is dmso so popular? Are there sound scientific studies out there that prove we need to mix dmso with castor oil for absorption?

Now that the tread is anyway out of the window...

Doing research I came across the @hellouser Miami funding thread. I was super depressed because on the photo was a good looking, however very bald dude.
I thought the guy is Hellouser.
Randomly I now came across a photo of Dr. Laustner and realised that, thank God, Hellouser is not bald and the guy on the photo is in fact Dr Laustner from Berlin. : P

So faith in the fight restored.

No I don't think it's for absorption.
We use castor oil because the lotion has to be more liquid.

Good morning/evening.

Sorry to harass. But may I ask how hard you drive the dermaroller home? I just did my third session and this time I was firm and my scalp is covered in tiny bloody dots. It for some reason doesn't hurt. I hurt my arse more when I scratch it. I'm concerned that I should not push so firm??

I go a bit too crazy for the approval here, but... until I bleed a lot. Most people will have a few small spots of blood here and there though.
