Nope, I think I stuck with it for 2-3 months but found it too much of a hassle to continue doing it considering the complete lack of evidence of it working at all. We were put in a facebook group with others who bought the growband, all the messages there suggested no one was getting results...

Bought the face cream, but will take approx 2 weeks to arrive. Will update when I have used it. What good did it do for you specifically? Also do you know if they say the effect effect be "indefinite" or is it contingent on continued use?

The first times I did not draw blood, I did not change the needling depth (1.5mm) every since then but the last few times I bled quite a bit. I dont know if this is simply because I pressed harder because I was a bit scared for the first few sessions or not. Atleast the fact that this has been...

The results needling + minoxidil in my opinion cant be explained by the minoxidil going systemic; it has a half life of say 12 hours so giving you at best one full day of effective systemic exposure. Then applying right after needling would give someone needling at a once per 2 week frequency...

Looks very good, no finasteride? How hard do you roll, do you draw blood or just mild redness?

I assume you mean 55-60mg /ml. I have been using similar for the last couple of weeks. Before that around 100mg/ml but that didnt dissolve properly.

I dont think I am experiencing any significantly increased shedding, but I must say I dont monitor this in any rigorous way. Started begin June. Trying to apply twice daily but not really feasible with work. Since many of you are using a way lower concentration than I am, I figured I will make a...

If that vellus is really new it looks promising! I was wondering if your hair also gets really dry/hard after application of the lactoferrin? I am over 3 weeks in now and do not seem to experience any of the things reported here (new vellus or shedding), wondering whether absorption may be...

So I assume you are using this at very high concentration in combination with microneedling? What is your experience so far or is it too early too tell?

Does anyone have any idea/suggestions to increase solubility/ penetration through skin via a different carrier? In the patent hold by one of the researchers of the lactoferrin they mention DMSO as a non-active ingredient but that sounds dangerous as it can make anything penetrate your skin and I...

My main concern is that the DIY topical solution is not efficiently absorbed via the hair shaft. I use approx 100mg/ml and my hair just gets really dry and residu is left on the scalp. I would buy a highly concentrated commercial product with a different, more easily penetrating, carrier if that...

Yes the website is so unclear, but I think this is usually the case when the products are still under development. I have asked the people from the site if they could tell me more but did not get a response yet. The site does mention that hairlycin (trademark of the peptide or something) is...

I asked the author of the study for more info about any commercial products and he said that renorigin innovation institute is developing the related products: http://www.renorigin.com/english/application.php. Especially the pharmano product seems interesting as it mentions a product with a...

FYI, I use approximately 100mg/ml and apply 3ml each time right now (only in the evening, in the morning only when possible), makes my hair quite dry as well. What I tend to do now is sprinkle some (regular) water on my hair and massage it in after 2-3h of initial application in the hope that...

To be honest, I think this study is a bit silly by itself without actually experimenting with minoxidil in combination with tretinoin and following up on patients results: the researchers have a test to determine minoxidil response/non-response which uses subject characteristics. Apparently, one...
