Very Impressive Dermarolling And Minxodil Results - From Tressless

[Kev123]

Okay, I found another one from before.

This one is from August 17, 2021. Despite my hair being messy in the before pic, you can still see that pattern I have, got thicker and darker. You can see in the after pic that there is now clearly hair where there appeared to be none. This was me not using any hair loss treatments at all. You can also see my hair is flimsy and weak in the before pic. In the after pic, my hair looks like it’s getting its quality back.

Okay enough typing.

Aug 17th 2021:

^You can see my crown is a desert. You are looking at the last of my hairs, which are FUE hairs. of my native hair gone.

Today (October 28, 2021)

I have a long way to go. 7 weeks is nothing in the hair loss treatment world. But I am positive I will see great results every couple of months. The dermapen is definitely a game changer.

Who ever wants to reclaim their hair: finasteride or dutasteride + Minoxidil 15% + Dermapen + FUE + stay on the hair loss treatment. Do not get lazy. Losing native hairs defeats the purpose of an FUE. Optimal appearance of hair is FUE hair+ Native hairs.

I wish I knew dermapen would work, before my FUE.

Unless I see amazing results in a month or two, next update will be at the 6 month mark. So, around March 2022.

Also today:

You can see it’s thickening. The quality of it is changing too, back to normal. It’s creeping back.

I could not get results like these, in the quickness I am getting it, on the big 3. Without dermapen, in the past, i’d be lucky to get these results in 6 months. 7 weeks is incredible. This wounding stuff really works.

Can you give ur hair transplant details? How much u got transplanted and have all of them stayed without treatment? And before transplant pic?

 

[NAVI]

Mild scalp acne and dermarolling , anyone?

 

[Kev123]

Can you give ur hair transplant details? How much u got transplanted and have all of them stayed without treatment? And before transplant pic?

It was a small hair transplant, maybe 2000. The surgeon warned me that because of my alopecia areata, it’s going to be risky and transplanted hairs are susceptible to alopecia areata. He is right, look at my donor area, that bald spot there is from AA. A lot of my grafts were affected by AA. I went ahead with the fue anyway.

I do not have pics of pre-FUE.

Transplanted hairs don’t need any treatment to stay. Just native hairs. My hair transplant hairs that I lost were to alopecia areata. Alopecia areata does not discriminate. Any hair on your body can get it.

Anyone have higher heart rate from minoxidil? If so what did you do, lower dose?

Definitely. That's why minoxidil is preferable early in the morning, not late at night when you're trying to sleep.

is there really a big difference between the regular minoxidil 5 and minoxidil 15 ? thanks it's looking good btw

 

[cryingariver]

Anyone have higher heart rate from minoxidil? If so what did you do, lower dose?

A few weeks ago, i put on minoxidil right after microneedling, just to try something new and see if i get better results. my body spas'd out! shakes, chills, massive headache. from now on I only put it on 24 hours ago needling. When i wait 24 hours, I don't feel anything when i put on minoxidil.

It should go away after a few weeks on it’s own, and more than 3mL also can cause heart palpitations. Avoid applying to damp head or immediately after shower

Is there really a huge difference in results between using a dermaroller and a pen?

I like using a stamp . I am getting good results with it an it dont pull my hair out like a pen dose .

Does your stamp allow adjusting how deep? If so, I'd be quite interested in a good stamp.

And new study showing again that minoxidil + needling works

Microneedling in androgenetic alopecia; comparing two different depths of microneedles - PubMed

Microneedling with a depth of 0.6 mm in combination with minoxidil is more effective than minoxidil monotherapy in patients with Androgenetic Alopecia in terms of hair count and hair thickness. This depth of penetration tended to be more beneficial than depth of 1.2 mm.

Is this only needeling only or better absorption minoxidil?

Yes it dose adjust but they are not real durable . I have to buy one about every three to four months .

Is there a recommended roller to buy? Looked on Amazon, wasn't a huge amount of choice/one standing out.

It doesn't really matter, but make sure you get one with actual individual needles and not metal discs.

What stamp are you using?

Here is a new article about microneedling:

This is interesting:

Increasing the overall treatment duration of microneedling and reducing the frequency of microneedling sessions may positively influence an increase in total hair count.

 

[hairloss_user]

I see the cancer thing has been brought up again. So just to be safe I will cut down from 1.0 mm needling every 2 -3 weeks to once a month. That should be safe right? I just can’t see how a small 1.0 mm wound would take several months to heal as some have said.

Can I still do daily light needling at 0.25 mm, let’s say a week after a needling session at 1.0 mm or is that a bad idea?

 

[44core]

Did anyone ever discuss the needle diameter?

Maybe I'm wrong but we shouldn't be able to achieve 1600 wounds per cm², like follica, with existing devices.
A cm² offers the space of 100mm - If we take the Derminator2 which got a needle diameter of .15mm we can reach max. ~666 single wounds. So the needle diameter of follica's device would be max. around .06mm if the holes should be separately
