Senior Member duchaine Posted November 26, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) after my 6 months transformation, I stopped Dermaroller and I lost some hair. after 18 months, I've maintained about 75/80% of my previous gains. Pics below are taken 2 years apart (sep. 2017-sep. 2019), WET hairs. I got a lot of hairs back, but I do not think I can improve my hairline more than that.. So I'm going to have my 2500/3000 UF transplant to improve my temples (I think 2500/3000 is too much, but all the best surgeons said I need that quantity of hairs). Considering the results I saw on this board, I choose Kaan Pekiner. Edited November 26, 2019 by duchaine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted November 26, 2019 Administrators Share Posted November 26, 2019 This is an incredible transformation, did you notice a difference with PRP?

Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted November 26, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) Wow! Very nice improvement, even with the slight dip in gains 2-years later! So did you continue your dermaroller + castor oil routine after having stopped it at 6-months as you mentioned?...or are the 2-year gains just the results of the initial 6-months dermaroll+castor? How did you use the castor oil, Topically or orally? If topically, before or after dermarolling? Edited November 26, 2019 by CosmoKramer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Sean Posted November 26, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted November 26, 2019 Wow, this is a distinct change. Its as if you went in and had a large sized procedure. Thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what size dermaroller? I used DR + castor oil for 6 months and saw great improvements. Then I stopped using DR + castor oil and started a monthly PRP treatment for 14 months and my hairs got worse. At the moment I've stopped PRP and I'm using DR and things are going better (a lot of hair are growing on my scalp!) I can say that DR is way better than PRP.
