Working out in the gym every 2-3 days produces good results. Doing it every single day does not work better.

Follica says a 2-week interval works better than wounding more often. I'll take their word on that.

It depends on intensity and volume. Olympians workout everyday.

If he's only thinning at the hairline then there's no point in him doing the rest of the scalp, but he should be needling 2cm into the adjacent healthy hair. The point of this is because those healthy hairs send out signals that recruit stem cells when they sense damage. There's no point needling where there's never been any hair.

Is it any good on where there was once hair, like the hairline?

Anyone else have minor bleeding / scabbing? I'm using .5 MM on the Derminator 1 (on a shaved head). Perhaps im going over the same area too many times?

That sh*t kind of hurts too when doing it for several minutes in a row lol.... But if its once bi-weekly then i can manage this...

Ha! Based.



The reason I was so hyped for RCH-01 is that wounding with lasting results is basically the ideal treatment. A combination of the two would be perfect.

If you could just go to an office, get your scalp stabbed, and then have better-than-transplant results that will last forever and you don't have to take pills, that'd be a way better and more-affordable option than hair-cloning and sh*t.

f*****g cringe using based if you think it’s in anyway funny to have a forum that propagates anti semitism. Grow up you weirdo. You don’t even know where the term based comes from.

Yes, if you want hair there again. You aren't going to grow much though unless you have some healthy hairs within a couple centimeters of the area.

Thanks man. I'm new to this. I'm buying a dermapen, a search for the best dermapens led me to this place. What is the best regimen for micro-needling in your estimation?

I'm not buying this anymore. I believe that Follica has something up it's sleeve but I'm already getting amazing results on my temples using everyday or every other day microneedling. As I said before in this thread and the other dermarolling thread that I would continue experimenting with high frequency needling and I upped this routine to three times a week with a dermapen and the next week I'll go 6 times a week with a dermaroller and I'm seeing rapid regrowth in my temples and no those shitty pussy wispy hair but dense dark hairs.

I now personally believe that Follica's style of microneedling is not possible at home and I was wrong about a lot of things so I'll share my personal experience with you:
  1. The idea that you have to use a 192 needle dermaroller because the one with 520 needles isn't exactly are real dermaroller is false. This more needles the better for me personally.
  2. It still stings me when I apply minoxidil immediately after and just like Rachita Dhurat's study my target has been mild erythema. I think this form just increases the absorption of minoxidil and makes it more potent.
  3. There are too many people out there who have had almost magical rapid improvement with a higher frequency for us to not try this for 4-5 months to see if it works or not. Of course, you cannot expect it to work for everyone but it is definitely worth a shot.
Dislike this post all you want but I'm starting to doubt that we can do Follica at home.

For the next few months I'm going with that big *** dermaroller with 1200 pins to see what happens.

If you are derma-ROLLING then you're not doing Follica's wound. Not with any amount of needles or frequency. The rolling action causes a lot more lateral damage to the skin per needle hit. Follica decided that going straight down & back up was more effective.

I suspect that guys who do recreate Follica's wounding, will not be talking about doing it multiple times a week. It will be obvious that the skin hasn't recovered in only a few days.


Whatever you are doing with the rollers & tight intervals may be working for you. I don't know. Knock yourself out. More power to you. I'm just saying you aren't duplicating Follica's wound right now, and you aren't making a full effort to attempt it. You're doing something else. Whatever you learn about it may not be applicable to Follica's protocol.

The only way I can make .5 really hurt is to 'burn' the skin via something approximating the Follica method.

Even 1.5 doesn't hurt on my face, so the discomfort there only comes from the sunburn effect. Much of it all with needling is squeamishness...there's a strong mental aspect here which you will get over, or should mentally focus on getting over.

Needles only definitely hurt me on areas with both higher nerve input and with shallow bone. I think there's a reverberance effect of the cranium that increases sensory feedback. Though weirdly I have no pain still on the skin of my forehead or above the cheekbones.

I have a good pain tolerance, this sh*t is defnitely like getting pinched 25 times a second, i have quite low bodyfat and maybe thin skin/scalp. But the next day it has the sunburn look so i think im doing it right, did over 100k wounds on my head lol

So if you're doing just a 6x6 cm area (such as a lateral hairline bald spot) how long will you spend on this area and how many passes?

How in the world does 1.5 not hurt your face? I hate doing my face far more than my scalp. I use 1.5 at 25hz on most of my face, and the pain is insane.

No idea. The area of the hair just above the sideburns literally feels like nothing at 1.5.

I do feel the needles on my face, more so on the forehead, but even that area doesn't bother me. It doesn't cause a sharp nerve response that makes me wince. Of course all the really important areas of the scalp do these things.

36cm2x1600 wounds.

about 4-5 minutes with 9 needles on a derminator high setting. it'd probably have to be 3 passes total.

Have you been doing the thing where you go 2cm past the intended growth area?

so does everyone follow the lawnmower pattern ie vertical rows up and down the scalp?

I tried this method and it didn't work too well...ended up with some rows much more red than others and many spots didnt go red at all. could anyone help out a beginner with the technique? I'm using a derminator 2
