guys should i post pics? this time the haters will commit suicide. i wish we could meet to see the godzilla results i get. it is almost a miracle. i am telling you we have it here. i want to kiss squeegee. really.
Do you think it would be best to wait 48 hours after dermarolling before applying minoxidil instead ofHAHAHAHAAH! go ahead 2young! Happy new year BTW!unk: 4 a.m here time for bed I guess!
Btw I am drunk as ****.. but somehow managed to find this study.. Minoxidil is a cox inhibitor and should be avoided few days after derma rolling for better results.. It inhibits the acute inflammation which is the most important step in rolling.. It pretty much cancel the purpose of derma rolling itself. You can still use Minoxidil but only when the acute inflammation is gone.. redness and swollling. etc..
Effect of minoxidil on platelet function and the synthesis of prostaglandins in platelets.
O'Barr TP, Swanson EW, Fitzpatrick JE, Corby DG.
Author information
Abstract
At the 12.5 micrograms level, minoxidil prevents the irreversible aggregation of platelets by 2 x 10(-6) mol/L adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Levels of minoxidil greater than 12.5 micrograms cause a reversal of primary aggregation by 2 x 10(-6) mol/L ADP. Aggregation of platelets in response to 125 micrograms of arachidonic acid is measurably reduced by 12.5 micrograms of minoxidil and totally suppressed by 30 micrograms. Concurrent with the inhibition of platelet aggregation, increasing concentrations of minoxidil cause a gradual reduction in the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and thromboxane B2 (TxB2). In the presence of 100 micrograms of minoxidil, PGE2 is reduced from a control value of 87.7 +/- 2.2 pg/ml to 23.9 +/- 3.2 pg/ml. At this level of minoxidil, TxB2 drops from 105 +/- 3.3 ng/ml to 10.5 +/- 2.6 ng/ml. The effect of minoxidil on platelet aggregation is not associated with increased cyclic adenosine monophosphate synthesis. All data support the conclusion that minoxidil functions (in platelet metabolism) primarily as a cyclooxygenase inhibitor.

Ignore the term 'resolution' and especially pay zero attention to megapixels by camera manufacturers and salesman. Its become a gimmick. More important than the size of photos produced is the sensor's ability to capture as much light with as little noise as possible AND the lens used with the right focal length and aperture setting with SOFT lighting.
When I say soft lighting, I mean this:
Hard light on the left, soft light on the right.
This is a common rookie mistake by hair loss sufferers trying to document their progress by taking lousy photographs with FLASH turned on.

2young2retire .... you are 2young2retire from posting them pics bro show dat progress. (btw, seem you seem to be a good responder - what are your thoughts on that drunken post by squeegee ? about avoiding minoxidil a few days after rollin' ?
I am looking forward to seeing 2Y2R pictures, i would also like to know what people think of squeegees idea to wait longer than 24 hours after rolling before applying minoxidil.
if you are thinning congrats, you started thinning late enough, this thing will cure you. you can sleep careless. but you have to wound like a mofo. and take some serious infection protocol measures like we did.

I have been getting a little bit of flaking. I am guessing that's normal with the scabs and dead skin?
