It is difficult to mimic with at-home devices. Probably can't really be done at home exactly right. I doubt they will ever actually include fgf9 in their treatment. They took too long and the time for their treatment is passing them by. With cell-based treatments coming, the demand for Follica 2.0 won't be there after the time required for conducting more clinical trials. I would be surprised if they even make the investment.
So I want to make sure I have this right. While needling, to have the best results:
-Don't wash head with water right after needling or even for a few days after needling?
-I usually apply minoxidil right after needling. That shouldn't hurt the scab formation should it?

I don't think it's a big deal either way.

William Rassman says "before", I don't know why.

Applying minoxidil beforehand allows for maximum absorption.

Dovresti solo avere ferite precise. Assicurati di utilizzare l'impostazione della velocità più alta e prova a ridurre la velocità di movimento. Forse provi a usarlo come timbro dermico? M8 ...velocity 6 ? 16 pins?

La coerenza va bene per quelli che ho provato (A7 e M8) almeno ai miei occhi. A volte una cartuccia può non riuscire a inserirsi correttamente, ma gli aghi sporgono sempre all'esterno del corpo della cartuccia e dovrebbe essere ovvio che non si spostano mai dietro l'apertura della cartuccia.


Sembra che quando ho usato lo iodio povidone prima di agugliare. Usi un po 'd'attualità allo stesso tempo?
Qualche oscuramento delle ferite è normale almeno per me e non sembra infetto quindi ...

If you dermapen once a week on 1-1.5mm, going for slight redness - how long does your scalp usually stay red? Gone by the next day?

I still have redness the next day.

I use 2mm monthly. I hope this is safe for my follicles and also at least somewhat efficacious.

Someone, unaware of the treatments I’m on, made the remark today that my hair has been looking noticeably thicker lately. :)

Rassman also maintains microneedling does not create new follicles, but extends the anagen phase of miniaturized follicles, and after two or three years these follicles will revert to their original state. It seems that Follica's claim to create new follicles is all just hollow business talk!

Rassman is, by his own admission, not an expert on microneedling.

So I guess you're just trolling?

He sounds pretty sure:

"Generally, the dermaroller (the microneedling device) induces Anagen, a single hair cycle and it should be sustained for the duration of the growth cycle. After the hair goes into telogen (about 2-3 years for men and 3-5 years for women), the pre-treatment state should return so you would have to go through the entire dermroller treatment all over again. Microneedling induces wound healing and the release of inflammatory molecules that can stimulate hair growth bringing hairs that have stem cell present back to functioning and into the anagen growth cycle."

I tried 1.5 again having not done that depth in over a year, and holy hell I bleed like crazy(hairline is all I did). I can't imagine people doing deeper or more often

For those who needle, is this too much? Also, how long should I wait to apply topicals after it’s this red

Anyone still doing daily rolling with light pressure and applying minoxidil right after, or is once a week the best approach?

OMG you guys, I'm seeing thick hairs sprouting up everywhere, I actually have to remove hair lol - it's just a shame that they're everywhere other then my freaking head! Thanks minoxidil...

scalp needling has unfortunately not worked for me. I was hopeful, really I was but without topical minoxidil dermaneedling is pointless.

I have been trying different variations of needling for over 2 YEARS, and have been on oral min for around 6 months solidly (around 5 months before on/off) and my diffuse loss is the worse it's been ever. I have near enough full coverage and am not even NW2, but the thinning in a NW6 pattern is completely obvious now despite my tricks to hide it

I'll be 40 in around 18 months and have been gradually thinning for about 9 years, was really hoping that 18 months of needling would get me to a point where i could stop using fibers but am so far away from that point atm.

sh*t is depresseing as all hell, just ordered 6 months of topical min to feel like i'm doing something. Logged on for the first time in months cos i feel like I'm reaching a tipping point and needed to vent lol
