Is it offering regrwoth?Why?
Microneedling for some could result in infection and subsequent inflammation. So doing it often could be dangerous and may cause hair to fall then grow.Is it offering regrwoth?
Also, it affects DHT and estrogen. This could be preventing needling results by disturbing your hormones
Arrade, what do you think of the possibility of a circular nano size ring being embedded in the pores, preventing them from shrinkage? I mean could that stop pore from shrinking? It would slip over the follicle shaft and anchor around the pores diameter. Its just this weird theory I have. Came to mind from tsuji method.How is that even possibuh... those are 3 very straight lines and the massage is a random style of pinches and presses on the scalp, not in an order like those lines
Honestly I look at it as more of a blood loss issue, and sebum just a side effect, not a causation of balding.Arrade, what do you think of the possibility of a circular nano size ring being embedded in the pores, preventing them from shrinkage?

Oh ok, my point was if preventing the pores from ever shrinking could stop miniaturization. Or even the notion that once your scalp has calcified over, there's no chance at ever regrowing back. I just think that having some clear nano sized circular ring to implant flush within the pore, could prevent the "choking" of hair follicles. Or even preserve aggressive Norwooders till better treatments.Honestly I look at it as more of a blood loss issue, and sebum just a side effect, not a causation of balding.
I don't know much about the pore idea, especially what you mean about Tsuji
I haven’t adopted the pore choking idea, as to me the hair follicle shrinks from loss of oxygen and nutrition. If the pore is crucial it does sound like a good although expensive ideaOh ok, my point was if preventing the pores from ever shrinking could stop miniaturization.

But come to think of it, this all sounds crazy because if it were a matter of keeping pore the same diameter; Botox would work.
Im loving this topic again! Are you using those vitamins? And any results if you are? Dermastamping mixed with topical magnesium oil and oral Vitamin D and K should surely stop this fibrosis. If we can get optimal scalp health this is a huge helpI knew a few that got regrowth from massage, or claimed that.
One used methylene blue, which inhibits calcium depositing and increases ATP
Another used vitamin mk4 + D, and scalp massaged once a day. He did ACV rinse before massage every other day
I think if it helps you only need to do it once a day. Twice a day is insanity
At this point taking Vit K + Vit D + magnesium oil topically + dermaneedling may be more effective than the massage.
As far as his nutrition goes, most of what he suggests is removing potentially inflammatory foods like milk or bread. But if you don't have an allergy/poor digestion with these, it is likely not necessary to remove them.
What you are basically following is the soft tissue calcification idea, that calcium deposits block blood flow to the hair follicles.
Mk7 + D vitamins can do this internally, actually fixing your internal calcium metabolism and pulling bad calcium back into the bone.
As Elephanto on the ray peat forum said, after using the supplements the massages just sped up the progress
Magnesium is supposedly bad for hair; I use it on my limbs and let it sit before I shower or bedJust ordered Swansonvitamins K2 and D3. How much would be an ideal amount daily? And is magnesium oil safe to use as a topical? If we can create a beast of an anti inflammatory/calcification and fibrosis reversal topical would be interesting to see the results! Keen for some ideas
Vitamins don't do anything for hairloss. You need something a lot stronger to stop inflammation.Just ordered Swansonvitamins K2 and D3. How much would be an ideal amount daily?

Some vitamins and diet do aid in inhibiting pro-inflammatory markers.Vitamins don't do anything for hairloss. You need something a lot stronger to stop inflammation.
What about huge (and almost total) recovery when they undergo MtF hormonal therapy ? Did it magically decrease skull size and destruct collagen build up ? What about woman ? Why pattern is different ?
They are a shitload of proof against this theory, which has been debunked many times
Anyway, good luck with your 'protocol'....Rob (KEK), who the hell is Rob anyway ?

What always ponder me, after reading about MTF hormonal therapy is, WHY the hell woman go bald ?
Glad you brought that up. It doesn't take long browsing the various MtF forums (namely Susan.org) to see that the vast majority of MtF people do not experience "total" regrowth any more than your typical finasteride/dutasteride user, and the ones that do experience the most dramatic regrowth are those that transitioned at a young age (in their 20's) (which is the same for people who start finasteride young). As well, Estrogen itself is known to have properties which directly stimulate hair growth, which any OB/GYN can tell you - virtually all women experience a dramatic hair thickness increase when pregnant due to elevated levels of Estrogen.
The list could go on - but the point is even MTF individuals with prior severe cases of male pattern baldness failed to recover it all with just a hormonal change unless they started young. That clearly indicates there was some pre-existing scalp condition (fibrosis) restricting the regrowth. If you browse around you can find countless MtF individuals who didn't transition until their 40s+, with severe male pattern baldness, who still failed to recover any significant amount of hair even after several years on hormones.
* Note personally I am not an advocate of the massage theory. I don't think a massage is enough to stimulate the scalp to repair itself. I did intense scalp massages daily for a year straight and if anything my thinning on got worse. I believe something more intensive like microneedling is necessary. Fibrosis is literally scar tissue - I've never seen anyone completely heal a scar with just massaging (but it does help some), whereas needling has been shown to completely heal even severe scars.
What has been debunked? It's been proven numerous times that balding areas of the scalp have excessive collagen buildup (up to 4x more than non-balding areas), as well as elevated levels of DHT. This is NOT a theory. Such as:

Dermal fibrosis in male pattern hair loss: a suggestive implication of mast cells
"It was found that collagen bundles were significantly increased in balding vertexes than in non-balding occiput scalp skin. A near 4-fold increase in elastic fibers was observed in both vertex and occiput scalp skins with MPHL versus controls"
