I bought minoxidil powder. Will make my own solution.

So, I only am able to apply minoxidil once daily (I don't want to get into why, as then all the thread will be about is that). Right now, I use 5% (Kirkland w/ added B12) x 1 daily. Is doing 1 x 10% minoxidil going to yield similar results as doing 2 x 5%? Or might I just stick to 5% and save myself...

Be careful. The DMSO might end up pulling in the minoxidil all the way into your bloodstream.

The only figure I've read is 'a few hours'. So, probably not 24 hours.

Thank you for the update. I assume you are not using the VR for the first few days of post-rolling?

I'm going from fortnightly to every 3rd week. I vaguely recall princessRambo posting that graph of the stages of healing that the skin undergoes. Back then, we settled on rolling bi-weekly. But I'm thinking maybe its better to play it safe, and just do it every 3rd week. I think this is okay to...

I'd be very interested in knowing how the violet ray will do. Please report back if you can.

His response did seem sort of legit to me. I'd love to try his device. But, alas, the money gods have no been good to me as of late. :$

All I know is that those pics scared the living daylights out of me! :D As a result, I am now completely obsessed with sterilising my needles before and after each use. A good thing, really.

What makes you say that? Have you tried a Dermapen? - - - Updated - - - Excellent. I was fearing that I'd end up 'rolling' myself into the poorhouse, if I had to switch needles every time. Do you sterilise the needles, though? If so, how? Oh, and which device do you have exactly? This is...

OK, there seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding names for the various devices. Does anyone have a electrically operated device that has a 9-12 needles going in and out really fast? (this is called a Dermapen by a lot of people)

I just ordered a Dermapen from China. :x Do you switch needle cartridge for every use, like they recommend?

Does your skin actually peel from DMSO alone? I would not have thought that possible.
