do dermapen + iodine. I just started doing that for my hairline. @ablanc10 did this + took some supplements and was able to completely restore his hairline.
is there anything you added to your original protocol?
What kind of iodine do you use? How much do you apply & do you apply directly after a needling session?
any iodine is fine, but I use lugol's iodine 2% and that's pretty much the standard. ablanc10 said he uses iodine from his local pharmacy, so you're not going to find his specific kind anyway. Apply it directly after a needling session. As for how much I'm not sure it matters to much, just make sure you cover the area that's been microneedled.
I'm so happy for you man.
How long have you been at it - any results?
nah i've only done 2 sessions. Imma wait 12 weeks (12 sessions) until I make a verdict. But many of the people that I've seen microneedle take a few months before they see significant results. I might make a thread if I see good results
How deep do you go?
i go the deepest setting on my dermapen which is 2mm which has me bleeding a bit. Plus I have visible wounds after and they take like a week to fully go away. I probably may be putting too much pressure, but i honestly don't mind the bleeding, so I'm going to continue the way I am doing it. Part of the reason I go until I bleed is because I saw this post. This guy did very intense dermarolling and he bled a lot (i don't do it anywhere near as extreme as him, i think he's actually mentally fucked), but his regrowth is very impressive. But ask ablanc10 how deep he does it since it's his protocol
the reason iodine is used is because it's antiseptic, so it helps keep the wounds disinfected and allows them to heal faster. Plus, iodine when applied to scars can help induce hair growth.

I think he only applied minox but then got off of that. it does say he did scalp massages but I am doubtful that it contributed anything significant. Either way I'm not autistic enough to do what he did.
Is this stuff legit?
dermapen.com
Directly after needling. Any brand works.
Thank you bro.
that's a professional dermapen that they use at clinics. It's expensive plus you can't get it for personal use. You don't need that anyway. any pen will do, but the one ablanc10 and I use is probably the cheapest one on the market (mym dermapen). It really doesn't matter. Here's where I bought from. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000409372707.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.55b54c4dJlyRbRIs this stuff legit?
How long will my skin be red after Microneedling Treatment?
Last updated on May 27th, 2022
not sure tbh, I really wouldn't expect the iodine to go systemic (at least not significantly). If you really are worried, you can just try using dermapen alone, you will still see regrowth if you stay consistent.
Thanks!
Thanks man. Do you dermaroll your skin at all? And if so, can you use the same pen or no?
Pics? Whats dermarol?
nah can't be bothered to do that, i don't think it's that beneficial tbh and i already have decent skin. I'd rather just use peels or other actives for my skin. You can use the same pen for sure, but you should use different needles. Just buy needles in bulk so you have a lot at your disposal
I have pics on my threads
Do you have a thread where you explain your protocol with more details?
No, plenty of haters here.
I've only seen an after photo where you had rockin hair and sunglasses - u have any regrowth pics posted aside from that after photo? I looked through most of your posts and didn't see any others.
I erased most of them because they caused me severe depression. But some days ago i found photos on my computer. I ll upload some. You will see the differemce in hair.
21. I started with severe seborreic dermatitis coupled with mpb i believe. I was losing 400 hairs per day. Madness. My father and grandfather didnt have mpb so this was really strange and depressing for me. I tried antiandrogens first, i was in private groups (i was friends with the "mythical" swisstemples back in 2015 i think).i even used 5 caps of dut per day without much success. Almost 3 years ago i started with dermapen and thats when my hair started to really recover. Antiandrogens only halt some hairloss. Dermapen/dermastamp/dermarrolling really regrow hair.
Correct me if I'm wrong - so you were slowly losing ground while on anti androgens for 5 or 6 years and then you started using the derma pen without the use of anti androgens, using topical iodine and castor oil, taurine, Vit K2 and fully recovered the half decade of loss?
Pretty much
My father was nw0 until 50 and now at 60 nw3. My mothers father nw 7 at 22 and my fathers father nw 3 when he died.
Once per week when i have time, twice monthly when i dont. I am looking for the best photos. Perhaps tomorrow i ll upload them.
