With this in mind, it is basically pointless to derma roll as I work outside every day and em exposed to the sun.

Wear a cap/hat and sunscreen daily and reapply 2-3 times during the day and you'll preserve your skin in the current condition for many years + you can repair it with topical vitamin A (tretinoin or retinol). You can also dermaroll but vitamin A cream is more effective frankly.Vandevalk1 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 5:55 pm With this in mind, it is basically pointless to derma roll as I work outside every day and em exposed to the sun.
That is an over-simplification of male pattern hairloss though. It's not just about DHT, even though the companies that sell anti-DHT topicals sure want us to believe that.Vandevalk1 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2019 5:30 pm Newage
Lucky for you, you have low levels of an enzyme called 5 alpha-Reductase which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which burns out hair follicles.
Here's a short video of the science on hair loss and some tips to reduce DHT on the scalp.

Also take note that the person calling himself "Dr" in the video is not a real medical doctor.
He is a non-practising chiropractor who uses ketogenic diets to treat "everything", despite the lack of evidence doing so.

So do you recommend Vitamin A cream for hair loss? Or skin repair?
Hey Fred, is the retinol in this instance in pill form as well? or in serums?
