Lol, you’re as stupid as you are short. My advice would be go outside and talk to people. But remember to breathe through your nose, particularly around women

"My worldview that I've blindly accepted is shattered due to the words coming straight from the horse's mouth, so I'll just hurl some baseless insults at you because I'm at a loss to explain away this damning piece that supports your stance on this controversial subject".

My understanding is that follicas devices is designed to move in lines at speed the derminator is designed to move i circles slower so we have to move in circles for longer.
personally im trying the keep going till i cry approach just to be sure

So, aside from all the other spam in this thread, has anybody else been trying this out at home? What’s your experience so far? I’ve been trying it, and I’ve never seen my needles covered with so much pink scalp residue before. It’s pretty brutal, but not as bad as 1.5-2.0mm. I’ve seen a few new vellus hairs, but nothing to brag about so far. Just curious how everyone else’s experience/results have been.

Been doing it with the original derminator @.5MM fastest speed with a shaved head. It's very unpleasant.....once every 2 weeks is do-able though. Hopefully will start to see some results in a few months.

I started this soon as this thread was started im only 2 sessions into this and i imagine you probably need 6 sessions at least to see anything and 12 to know it don't work, with the old routine my cartridge would have the odd white flake on the needles to clean with this protocol it looks like i dipped it in strawberry milk shake

So in other words you’re not doing what they have said works. Hope that works for you ;)

Assuming you get the depth and frequency right and there’s nothing else we don’t know about... in 6 weeks you’ll know whether your attempt to recreate their precise protocol worked. I think that’s true for all of us.

You can answer that by comparing the results of microneedling + minoxidil to the results of oral minoxidil. I think it's safe to say m+m > om

And what do you think about about oral minoxidil + microneedling combo?

its bi weekly so 6 weeks would be 2 sessions as 3rd would happen on 6th week which is next week for me lol so i hope your wrong pretty sure all treatments show no results till 12th to 24th week pretty sure number guy who started this craze saw nothing till week 8 to 12.
I Think its wish full thinking on my part but my hair seems to be growing faster and my center parting at he mid scalp seems denser probably just COPE as that guy would say

No, i actually use my head the correct way ;) One size doesn't always fit all, maybe one day you'll stop being a sheep and understand.

I find the derminator 1's needle settings jump around like crazy when you look at their screen. So the .5MM "setting" usually ends up being .75 or even 1MM. Maybe that depends on how hard you push as well, but the fact is after the session i have the same sunburn erythemic appearance and some minor bleeding -- so its enough.

This happens on the Dr. Pen N2 as well. Set it to 1.5mm and start my session, it’ll gradually start lowering to 1.0mm. When doing the follica patent I usually go at 1.0mm, but the depth ends up increasing to 1.25mm< the longer I go.

Idk how dermneedling actually helps hair. I’ve been doing it for just about a month and a half. Once a week at 1.5mm and not only does that sh*t HURT, but my right hairline got worse EXACTLY where I focus the most for it’s recession. I use the dr pen ultima a6.

Yes, based on what we know at the moment. .75-1mm.

Yeah, but do your needles go as deep as your setting? The needling would be best done by another person, because I find it very difficult to apply enough pressure on my own with my Derminator2. I did 1mm at the fastest setting (with grade 0 cut hair) and there wasn't even any redness 24 hours later.

Sure pal. You just keep doing what is not suggested. The proof of the pudding is in the eating (your results if you have any).

I choose scientific rigour and advice over a sore head.

You are not supposed to apply pressure, you are supposed to glide it over your scalp. If the cartridge is just touching your scalp then it will go in precisely at the setting. If you are applying too much pressure or not enough you will see that with the top arrow on the D2.

Why do you think there needs to be redness 24 hours later?

Do you think there doesn’t / it doesn’t matter?

Guess we’ll find out from Follica eventually :p
