Get a Derminator 2 like me.
I use cartridges twice and sterilise them in rubbing alcohol which you can buy at a hardware store.
Q. The last time you grazed your head or face did the blood being pumped to your heart kill you?
If you’re still alive to answer this question obviously not.
If you’ve never grazed yourself anywhere I can understand why you’re being paranoid. It’s because you’re a pussy.
Joking aside... just do it man! The more you procrastinate the more hair you loose.
IF you get an infection goto a doctor. Duh. But I bet you $100 that ain’t going to happen.
If you get a few little crusts / scabs, don’t fret, that isn’t an infection, that’s drying blood with fantastical follicles healing underneath
Which is the cost of the cartridge replacements? and how many needles do they come with the derminator 2 package?
I have obviously had bloody happenings before, specially as a kid. However, you can't compare the anecdotical scratches from weekly (and some crazy fuckers like Somebody, which are rolling daily) wounding.
What still puts me on the fence of doing this:
-The risks of infection already discused
-Having another constant loss of money monthly to buy new needles (or even more often depending on how often one uses it)
-We have no clear evidence the inflammation that this delivers is going to damage hair long term in at least some cases that just do not benefit from it (male pattern baldness-prone scalps are typically inflammed by default, why do I want further inflamation with wounding for?)
-We have no clear evidence of what is the best protocol to use; how often, and:
-We have no clear evidence of what mm makes sense to use. Somebody claims to use 1.5mm or so but he says he just uses the tip.. so I guess he is doing around 0.5mm or so? with great results, assuming its real which leads to:
-The only people with photographic evidence here are shilling affiliate links, same for the reddit example
And believe me i am no pussy. In fact im one of the first people in france that is going to get dutasteride injected directly on the scalp. This is my next step trying to stop this dissease. I believe this makes way more sense than just piercing the skin. Apparently there are results with every other month sessions, still very expensive but whatever. We definitely need to lower 5ar levels to stop the DHT from frying our hair. You can dermapen and apply minoxidil all day, I really doubt you can do jack sh*t without nuking anti androgens on the scalp as well.
