Follica Microneedling Protocol Patent Disclosed

[KNemo]

If it was just purely hole density then why is 12 pin cartridge recommended rather than 36?

We recommend it as 36 needles have it harder to penetrate cleanly than 12 due to the bed of nails effect.

They need to hurry up and release whatever it is they're planning. This is quickly becoming an irrelevance.

It isn't becoming irrelevant any time soon. Even if we can get full density via lab-grown hair most people can't afford it but can afford a short bi-weekly needling session.

Take out your needling tool. Get a piece of cold dense sandwich meat, or maybe a fruit, or something else similar to scalp skin that you can poke holes in.

Mark out 1 square cm on the test surface. Then see how many holes you can poke into that square before the surface gets so obliterated that you quit trying.

Soft silicone rubber would be a better match for skin elasticity. Given the incel vibes here I'm sure there's a gentleman with a sex doll and/or a dildo that can do the experiment for us...

10-12 minutes is plenty with something like the M8 on fastest speed. I've only got thinning in the hairline so it's even less for me.

Of course, this is assuming that the specs for Dr pen devices are true.

I couldn't find 12 pin needles for M8. What size needles are you using or is everyone using? I've been using 36 pin needles on Dr. Pen A6 and can't say it's working for me.

I use dr pen a6 12 pin.. you can buy the needles on Amazon, but I’ve also been using this micro needling approach without minoxidil for 6 months now. It’s doesn’t help hair loss.. if anything, makes me lose hair due to damage LOL. Minoxidil is the key with this, but I’m done with that sh*t drug

This is awesome and they dont look anything like the crap we can buy on the internet

Is that an old version of the device, or a brand new one? Where did you find this?

 

[iCloud]

Serious, when is fcking Follica bringing us some results. They're almost Histogen tier at this rate...

Still no news about their Phase 3 trials, which are supposed to take place this year.

 

[kiwi666]

Dosent really matter when you have nothing new ik their formula..

Suuuuuuuuure you do pal.

Thanks, where was that posted?

 

[trialAcc]

Suuuuuuuuure you do pal.

Think he meant "in", not that he knows the formula. He's just saying that this is just minoxidil + rolling and we know the technique already.

M8 16 pin cartridges works fine for me.

It's just a marketing picture.

Puretech publishes its half-year report usually in August. It will probably mention if they have started phase 3.

In*

Thanks. Im not sure I agree though.

We know very little about the mechanics behind their device and we don’t actually know if they will release a different topical or not in the future.

What we do know is that most of the device available to purchase today by consumers are comparable. And we have all read the same details and user reports about those.

We also know, and I think we can all agree that some people who use a mixture of finasteride + min + needling get good results.

We have no idea if their device will be the same as others on the market though. Or what is different in their device based on their investment and research.

You don’t know. I don’t know.

We also know that people doing this at home are by now means doing this controlled.

It might work for people with short hair. It might not work with people who have long hair.

Some people may be getting bleeding. Some people may be getting more of a burning effect (which based on my research - years of reading this sh*t) is probably a good thing.

So yeah. It’s all speculation until proven otherwise.

 

[glammetal]

According to their site,they will initiate phase 3 trial in 2021(which they have not done yet)

 

[kiwi666]

Follica is huge flop. Nothing in this treatment actually work to stop male pattern baldness , is just a stimulate mathod. The hair would wake up short term and then die fast after the androgena would kill the foliceles.

Again speculation. You have zero clues about their device / what’s different about it compared to other devices.
I already said and agreed with you that they are using minoxidil but that doesn’t mean they aren’t working on something else concurrently.

Also can you do me a favour and post Follica test results here.

They're not comparable, since we don't how much more sophisticated the Follica device is in terms of wounding. One criterion of "sophistication" would be to avoid unnecessary wounding. Unnecessary and overlapping wounding cause more bleeding, which causes more crusting, which might block minoxidil absorption. Anyone trying to achieve a similar wound density as Follica (I1200-1600 cm2) with a microneedling device will bleed a lot, and the crusts can take a week to fall off. (As in my case.)

Fine! If itcomes out then DO NOT BUY IT

This was my point. And why you shouldn’t be such a whiner because you are
speculating.

Yes.

And right now we don’t know if their device creates more of a burn wound or more of a scabby bloody wound - like what you get.

Based on your description I wound like you but I don’t get scabs. How do you explain that.

You can’t. Neither can I. I guess you’ll just have to wait until they release a product - so until then why don’t you keep your public whining to yourself

 

[kiwi666]

You ignore my claims that these treatment dosent target manintainence but just stimulation meaning the hair will not stay

Of course we ignore somebody who doesn’t know all the facts.

 

[kiwi666]

The formula is out there already you know that right?

Your first mistake is your use of the word ‘the’.

We know that they use Min for at least one study,

What we don’t know:
- anything about their device except depth, speed and needle count
- anything about the other topical they were developing
- if that has stopped being developed
- whether our back yard science experiments with needling is anywhere near as close to the protocol as what they are actually doing in controlled labs

So yeah I know. And I know what I don’t know
