Don't want to scare anybody but i found this and it's quite recent and it has some really good information... It's only theory i think but it comes from someone that has a lot of experience and the site from what i saw since i started lurking it posts a lot of valid and useful information and it's really up to date, it's owner seems like a very good and truthful man that really wants to help and is really passionate, but i'm sure most of you already know it.

"Whilst the molecular details of this growth control are not fully understood, we do know that the Wnt’s pathway is involved here. This explains why manipulating Wnt’s does have an effect upon follicle size. But this is not a viable treatment strategy, because of the real danger of producing cancerous growth.

The in vivo spatial growth controls are also known to be relaxed somewhat during the healing process. This explains why scalp wounding can increase the local hair growth. But this is only a short term effect, and continuous wounding will increase the local fibrotic tissue, making the situation worse in the long term.

There is only ever going to be one way to significantly increase hair growth in these circumstances, and this is of course to significantly reduce the tissue pressure around the follicles. All the current treatments that have some effect upon increasing follicle size, all do this to some degree. Minoxidil, latanoprost, lasers, anti-inflammatories, massage, and reducing the androgen stimulus (Finasteride)."

You can find the whole information and article here, it contains also 2 links to 2 PDF explaining his whole theory, i did not have time to read them but i will this days...

Have you read his further comments on the comment section? If you have a scientic mind, you should really dig deeper, because he has an insanely weird theory involving treatning non-Androgenetic Alopecia prone areas due how his model/theory works... very weird, I can't really understand it. If you or anyone else can read it and try to explain what the point he is trying to make is, it would be great.

Regarding fibrotisation of the scalp with long term wounding, I have similar views, which is why im not too convinced to start with this threatment. I guess we'll need to see how people here are doing in 5 years.

I already said you can use mesotherapy with dutasteride, in france there are clinics which do this, no need to take the pill, however, if you keep saying that you are going to go and beat male pattern baldness without topicals, orals, or inyections involving the decrease of androgen activity in your scalp, then enjoy being a f*****g cueball in 5 years, this is how it goes.

I’ve NEVER said that you will “beat” male pattern baldness without those you mentioned, SHOW me where I said THAT, dumbass.

Yes, they may help SLIGHTLY but even if you inhibit 100% DHT you will still go bald at a slower pace BUT only gain terrible side effects and masking any aggressive cancer to tests, which is NOT worth it, IMO, but you keep at it.

I think a combination of needling methods and surgery and low-dose 5AR inhibitors to limit side effects (0.25mg finasteride everyday or .5 every other day), minoxidil, could help a lot, gain good results over the long term is all I’m saying.

1 month & 1 week progress (7th session done today)

Note, this is in my hairline and temple areas that long ago lost hair. It’s more difficult to capture progrsss in areas that have hair already. Not noticing any scar tissue in needled areas yet to develop any follicles.

I am sure that if my friend Pedro would used dermarroling, all hairs seen under the scalp would grow out.I am thinking using it.

Give it a try, and also with Minoxidil.

It’s a little difficult to tell from your photo but some of those black dots are probably just sebum glogging the follicle or pores but some possiblely could be hair stock frozen needing a kick start in circulation to grow.

Good luck.

That’s actually a really good way of doing it. Thanks for sharing this.

Yeah, it’s funny I recently started “stamping” with the derma pen all over instead of just gliding the pen across my scalp, it was catching too many hairs and I was concerned if gliding the pen would create any scars.

Are you guys pressing hard enough/using 1.5mm? I see too many people who think 0.5mm will do anything. You NEED to reach your hair follicles with the needles, otherwise its useless.



4 weeks? mate, i've been shedding non-stop for 6 months straight. You are up for a ride.


That makes no sense whatsoever

I don't press hard at all and I've had amazing results. They didn't press hard in the study.

How many times a week do you needle, and do you bleed a little?

Once a week and I don't bleed. There is redness and one or two dots of blood, but never to the extent that it runs from the dot. I made of a video of me using my dermaroller:

the man it self is here,

do you use both dermapen and dermaroller? and how much mm for each ?


another question :

after doing derma roller i founnd that i loose lot of hair due to dermaroller ? is that normal.
i mean before i do the derma roller i test my hair by passing my hand through my hair and count the number of lost hair in my hand.
JUST after the dermaroller session, i do the same test with my hand and i found a lot more of falling hair. knowing that the differne of time between the two tests is about 10 minutes.

knowing that i'm in my second dermaroller session, i started like a week ago.

At the moment I am using only my dermaroller because I cannot find the charger for my dermapen. I'm going to buy a new one soon but I haven't used my dermapen for 3 or 4 months.

I think hair falling out is probably normal, as hairs get caught in the roller and will be pulled out. I do it on soaking wet hair, as I find it doesn't get caught or tangled in my hair as much as when I do it on dry hair.
