Getting to the root of it.

Welcome back to the next part. This may sound scary, it may cause you to panic, but this is what i believe to have brought my hairline back down to where it should be. Its a fantastic little gadget called a dermaroller.

The dermaroller is a small device that looks similar to a tiny paint roller, only its covered in 196 micro needles similar to those of a diabetic needle to get a blood sugar sample. These are inexpensive to buy nowadays, from as little as $5.00 (£4.00) on ebay, and perfect for the task at hand.

The science believes that used alone without any meds for hairloss can give amazing results, however, i combine the use of it with my minoxidil product. Its pretty simple, not painful, maybe a little uncomfortable, and well worth doing.

Heres a guide of what i do. It takes me 10 Minutes from start to end and i only need do it 2 times a week. Since starting this over a year ago, my peach fuzz is real thick hair again. It took literally 6 weeks for it to fill in at the temples, so i believe this is what done it for me.

1) Take your dermaroller and gently apply very light pressure as you place it on to the hairline area you wish to target.

2) gently roll up and down 10 times on the same spot, then move along covering the entire hairline.

3) Next go side to side over the same area, you should hear a strange pop/crunch as your rolling, your aim is to get as many micro holes in the area as possible without bleeding, if you bleed you have gone too deep.

4) apply your minoxidil solution to the area and gently massage in to the area you just rolled.

5) Place some minoxidil into a dish or jar and place roller in to solution. Then remove and gently roll over with 5 rolls to each treated area.

6) Leave solution to absorb and dry on the scalp, clean roller and store away for next time.

7) Thats it, your done. As you have got the product deeper in to the scalp and closer to the root it will work miracles. Its best to only do it the once on the days of deep rolling minoxidil into the follicals.

There is a treatment popular across Thailand, China, Japan and other areas of Asia where they literally inject the minoxidil solution under the scalp in tiny amounts all over balding/balded areas. My Auntie runs a clinic in Bangkok where they perform this and they have seen hugely amazing results.

Last time i went out there i asked her about the dermaroller process i was doing, and she said in effect its identical to what they perform at the clinic only they inject direct. The second Dip and roll is the same as doing injection of it to the roots.

If you do it right and regular you will see amazing results. Obviously don't use any more minox than recommended. I have never had any adverse effects doing this, however we are all different, so do a small test beforehand to check you are ok with it.

I still swaer to this day that by getting it deeper in and closer to the root it has supercharged my hair and bought my hairline back to life.

Till next time.
