Is there anywhere else to buy the derminator, the admin blocked my order the other night after my interaction with the ceo few weeks back.
I tested it the first time and felt no negative sides, so continued doing it.Interesting. Most people seem to say that you shouldn’t be applying minoxidil right after rolling. But this seems very interesting indeed.
Is this a blind experiment you did, or did you read about and decide about the minoxidil application?
Mentioned a few pages back i posted the interaction, essentially she is autistic and said since i couldn't figure out how to buy it she doubts i could read the instructions ( i emailed inquiring how to purchase as i was trying on my work comp to purchase which is us based so i kept getting the page saying we do not ship to europe), i know autistic people but i think she is using that to as an excuse to insult anybody- was kinda funny though. If anybody here was from ireland or uk i would paypal them the money first to buy and then forward to me.Lol what happened?
Ahh nooQuick status update: I've now been using a 1.5 mm dermaroller for about 3.5 months. Initially I needled every week but recently switched to every 10 days. I also use rosemary oil and around 10 min head massage daily. I only use the roller on my frontal region.
There hasn't been much progress. Some hairs that have been miniaturizing are growing a bit longer and thicker again. Some barely visible vellus hair started to grow around the temples. Some overall thickening of existing hair, but so far nothing cosmetically significant.
This just goes to show that without minoxidil, things can potentially take a lot longer. Also, I suppose that needling at 2.0 mm would be more effective.
I'll keep going and probably upgrade to a 2.0 mm stamp soon. If my finances allow it, I might also go for the Derminator.

Like I said, it’s probably more to do with the minoxidil than the dermapen! Personally speaking the micro needling on its own won’t do anything. OP was using minoxidil and the pen just enhanced those results. He also uses/used hair fibers. To provide those kinda pictures from “start to finish” wouldn’t be that hard on a diffuse head of hair.You can see at the end pics he just went to town with the fibers. He talked about setting up an online shop! Hmmm kinda makes sense now.Ahh noo
I'm coming up top 2 months of stamping and so far no cosmetic results. Velus and uncolored hairs I'd dare say there is an improvement, but you can't see them without looking very closely. I didn't really look for them before but there is quite a lot of them honestly... Only thing I know for sure is that there is a big reduction of shedding. Tempted to do this for 6 months (as well as the other stuff I'm doing) before I tempt the plight of topicals and/or minoxidil again.
It really does feel like it's doing something when I stamp but it's not showing too much yet. Coming months will tell.
There are not one, not two, not even three, but four studies showing that needling alone does indeed something. And that's if I casually forget about all the anecdotal evidence or the documented experiences of some users here...Like I said, it’s probably more to do with the minoxidil than the dermapen!

I'm afraid that whether he's using those fibers or not doesn't change this.
I’m replying to what J0ker and Leunam said. Believe me there is plenty of studies out there that “do something” for hair growth but never materialise.There are not one, not two, not even three, but four studies showing that needling alone does indeed something.

I just created that thread. Go see if I forgot about something! https://www.hairlosstalk.com/interact/threads/microneedling-faqs-procedures-studies-and-such.119653/
I know. But we have enough evidence to think this is not the case with microneedling.I’m replying to what J0ker and Leunam said. Believe me there is plenty of studies out there that “do something” for hair growth but never materialise.
Must've mixed it with "Microneedling vs Minoxidil vs Microneedling + Minoxidil".Your ‘microneedling vs microneedling + minoxidil’ study is actually a minoxidil vs microneedling + minoxidil study.
Ahh noo

Non Minoxidil folk had better results, as in, better than those who wound with Minoxidil?That’s not true either.
The reports above are saying that non min folk had better results. Maybe I just don’t know what ‘better’ means.
@Bill_Russo thoughts?
Except in some of those pictures his hair was wet. He’s not using those fibers on wet hair without them clumping up. Even though they are sitting on his counter, doesn’t mean he has them in at that moment. For sure he may sprinkle some in when he goes out, but I would give him the benefit of the doubt at this point. Time will tell for all of us.Like I said, it’s probably more to do with the minoxidil than the dermapen! Personally speaking the micro needling on its own won’t do anything.

I’m not saying he hasn’t got some improvement but there’s definitely some fibers in those headshots! minoxidil prob done most of the work!
