Guys plz answer my speed question. Do you put the pen on fast speed or slow speed? And do you press it against your head or just let it hover?
I dont like pens and dont know much about them. What i do know is that you shouldnt move it all over your head in smooth motions, or only very slowly. I have seen pictures of people who got real scars from it on their faces after professional needling treatmentsGuys plz answer my speed question. Do you put the pen on fast speed or slow speed? And do you press it against your head or just let it hover?
@Eazy12 Im aware you are a lonely depressed virgin, but why exactly do you put so much effort into convincing people that needling doesnt work.
Okay it doesnt work. Let people live in their happy delusion. Its better than whatever you are going through in life.
Have you got your hormones checked? What was your Norwood grade when you started?
dutasteride obviously f*****g works, thus proving DHT is a major key on this disease:
What further proof do you need than f*****g twins.
Of course, people still go bald on dutasteride. I saw a guy running an experiment consisting on being on dutasteride while taking shots of testosterone, he continued balding. So I suspect there's people out there with increased sensitivity for testosterone on the scalp for whatever the f*** reason, as well as the destruction caused on the scalp being too much for you to respond if you get too late (the point of all treatments is to halt hairloss, attempting to grow hair is in most cases delusion)
Thanks, will try. What are the ratios? concentration of peppermint?@tressful I use peppermint oil in my mixture of oil. Along with saw pometto that is said to be a dht blocker. It's something I recommend you tinker with.
Dude learn to read. There’s literally HUNDREDS of repeatsThose using derma pens, on what speed are you running them on????????
I am using the slowest speed, I figured it would hurt less for one (tho I feel maybe fast speeds would hurt less?) and maybe the needles would penetrate better that way , but even at the lowest speed the needles go in and out so fast you cannot see the needles retracted at any point and it's as if the needles are hanging out all the time so when you place the pen on your scalp it's like hovering at a distance. I am wondering if the needles are going in properly or whether I should be pushing the pen against my skull harder to make sure they puncture the skin? I wish the pen could be switched to manual and the needles would only come out once when you press, this way you are sure it goes in. Is that what derma stamping is? Or is derma pen and derma stamping the same thing?

It's not that I don't believe in microneedling's efficacy, but as I have pointed out like 10 times before, trolly boy Eazy is right in one thing: almost every "success" story in this thread consists in some dude starting needling while also starting another proven treatment at the same time. I will say this once again: regardless if needling does or doesn't work, those instances SHOULD NOT be taken into account if the purpose of this thread is assessing the effect of microneedlimg. Anyone with a minimal understanding of basic statistics and experimental design should be aware of that. Yet, this thread has been flooded by this kind of accounts that shouldnt be used as evidence. Because of this I'd like to start another thread to only allow needling-only success cases (or cases in which minoxidil and finasteride is being used more than a year or so prior to needling).
There are like 2 instances which I do consider legitimate needling success cases, which includes number guy (the guy in the first page). However, 2 instances against several non-responders here doesn't give us a good picture of the overall response rates. But we would need a serious, more rigurous thread for reporting accurate numbers. This thread has become a mess.
I understand that and completely agree with you. Im not someone who wants to live in delusion. What i dont like is people dismissing "proof" or anecdotal evidence as "lmao 3rd world shithole bro".It's not that I don't believe in microneedling's efficacy, but as I have pointed out like 10 times before, trolly boy Eazy is right in one thing: almost every "success" story in this thread consists in some dude starting needling while also starting another proven treatment at the same time.

Nice, i have a similar mixture. I would recommend adding black currant oil to it.I use about 5%. Here is a list of all I mix with the oils.
Jojoba oil
Peppermint oil
Rosemary
Olive oil
Olive leafs oil
Castor oil
Coconut oil
DMSO
Valproic acid
Dimethyl
Stemyoxide
Tumeric
Menthyl
HairMetto
Miconzole
Its been 3 weeks and you are rolling, not stamping, with 0.5mm. I doubt theres anything happening to your hair.end of the third week applying dermaroller 0.5mm every week + daily application of rosemary + this serum (Vitis vinifera oil + ginger officinale extract + polygonum multiflorum extract + panax ginseng extract) https://www.banggood.com/Y_F_M-Pure...p-1253437.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN
the rosemay + serum started like month ago.
yesterday and mainly today i noticed a huge SHED and i'm f*****g scared i don't know what that does mean.
for info this week i had a huge stressful week but the shed is only happening in the TOP where i bald and the side are OK.
i ordered my dermapen from chine but my custum service in my coutry refuse it and send it back to CHINA. so this is why i didn't try 1 or 1.5 mm micronnedling.
yes shedding is normal when i shed from all over the HEAD, top (where i bald) and sides (where hair is normal), but now i'm shedding as hell only from the top where i bold. this is why i'm panicking.Its been 3 weeks and you are rolling, not stamping, with 0.5mm. I doubt theres anything happening to your hair.
Either way, shedding is completely normal dude. Calm down
That makes no sense man. You are needling the areas that are effected by hairloss. Why would you shed hair where you dont needle and dont apply any products to?yes shedding is normal when i shed from all over the HEAD, top (where i bald) and sides (where hair is normal), but now i'm shedding as hell only from the top where i bold. this is why i'm panicking.
plus saying 0.5 will do nothing :
in normal situation when person is balding his top hair is always shedding more then the sides. this is a normal situation.That makes no sense man. You are needling the areas that are effected by hairloss. Why would you shed hair where you dont needle and dont apply any products to?
I dont understand your logic
The dumb autist thinks that everyone that doesn't align within his fairtale worldview of stopping baldness by sticking nails on your scalp repeatdly is now a f*****g Merck shill, imagine.
Once again, you dumb low IQ subhuman, I already explained how dutasteride with mesoteraphy seems like a safe way to go as it doesn't go systemic, so im going to try that next. This is higher on my priority list than f*****g around with having a constant inflammed scalp prone to infection, which from the evidence in this thread all that it is doing is increased minoxidil absorption anyway. I don't rule out WNT pathway benefits and I will do it myself once a month or so, however IT'S MORE IMPORTANT to decrease androgenic activity.
And AGAIN, you could use all the dermapens and rollers in the world, without decreasing 5AR and DHT you are going to bald you dumb f***.
The only way you could continue going back with 100% depletion of DHT is due high testosterone sensitivity, otherwise women would be going bald at the same rate as men you total pea size brain cuckold.
We all can play that f*****g card of posting studies of anything linking to cancer, including dermarolling:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21321199
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21321207
So there, have fun going bald by not inhibiting androgen activity on your scalp in ANDROGENETIC alopecia.
@Eazy12 Im aware you are a lonely depressed virgin, but why exactly do you put so much effort into convincing people that needling doesnt work.
Okay it doesnt work. Let people live in their happy delusion. Its better than whatever you are going through in life.
You are needling your hairs, and those exact same hairs are shedding. There is nothing else i can tell you.in normal situation when person is balding his top hair is always shedding more then the sides. this is a normal situation.
for me sheeding this much can mean :
- my balding situation is progressing and my hair will be thinner in the TOP and microneedling didin't do nothing
- or shedding means the microneedling is working which i don't think this is the case.
this is why i'm panicking, the SHED that i got today is very huge.
Guys plz answer my speed question. Do you put the pen on fast speed or slow speed? And do you press it against your head or just let it hover?
