==================================
Welcome to my KZbin channel Hairliciously. In this channel, I will be taking you on a journey of my FUE hair transplant progress. Towards the end of November 2016, I had a 1700 FUE hair transplant done in South Korea at Motion Clinic (en.motionclinic.kr) to lower my hairline and to fill in my receding temples. The FUE hair transplant procedure took me about 7-8 hours to complete and cost me approximately $5000 USD.
I will be doing daily updates on my hair transplant progress, so feel free to subscribe and ask any questions you have. Thanks for visiting!
Please like, comment and subscribe! :)
======================================
Products I am using to supplement my FUE hair transplant:
1. HAIRLICIOUSLY Dr Pen 1.5mm 1-2x a week. (temples and hairline)
2. HAIRLICIOUSLY Hair Growth Supplement 2x a day
3. Minoxidil (Rogaine) - Minoxidil slows hair loss progression and promotes hair regrowth. I've noticed that using Minoxidil helped me grow my transplanted hairs a lot more quicker.
4. Pumpkin Seed Oil 1000 mg + HAIRLICIOUSLY Vitamins

I have a recommendation, first, you should ALWAYS INCLUDE IN THE START OF ALL YOUR VIDEOS, with this, don’t get 540 micro needles roller. The needles aren’t the same than the 192. Since you are a source of knowledge for people that don’t know about microneedles roller. People see one of your videos and right away look to buy one online. And they without knowing can cause more damage than good. And you would be the one causing that because your videos are peppered around on KZbin about this topic. So advice to you for other people that you influence, at the start of your videos, any, remember folks! Don’t buy 540 needle roller, the needles are larger. Look at my 192 needle roller on my website where the needles are same the entire length. 540 needles are triangular shape. So please, do this, I know people that are scarred and you’re causing this. If you’ll talk about it all the time, remind people because they see one video of yours and they immediately think, oh 540 covers larger area let me get that. But they don’t see the detail of the needle shape. Thank you

[@kalex888]

If you go deeper than 1.5 mm, you increase the risk of scarring which can inhibit hair growth.

[@jaylipmanguevarra6170]

Hello, You're channel is very informative. I have a question, what needle size do you recommend for beard growth and how should you do it? Also with hair regrowth?

[@UrbaneHobbit]

Comparing the diagrams at 4:30 and 5:20, it would seem that bulge hair follicle stem cells are located in between two layers of blood vessels, one above and one below. Thus, one would assume that a sufficient needle length to target the bulge layer would need to draw some blood - the needles would have to penetrate at least the upper layer of blood vessels (4:30). Given that scalp skin thickness may vary between individuals, one could experiment with needle depth to find the length that is long enough to draw blood, but short enough to minimize healing time. Furthermore, needle lengths that do not draw blood may be assumed to be insufficient to stimulate the bulge hair follicle stem cells. (I am not a doctor.)

[@matvei15]

Then why do people that aren't bleeding still seeing great results?

[@anthonylordi5335]

If your head is bleeding additional blood including growth factors is being sent to your scalp which will pass through/impact follicles. There is no need to use anything over 1mm.

[@cuminoni9534]

So the ideal micro-needling treatment is once a week to allow the scalp skin to heal after one session? So how long should 1 session of micro-needling last? 30 mins of rolling all over the scalp?

I have lots of tattoos so thank goodness I'm pretty much not having any discomfort.

Great video again

[@Decipherization]

Great vid! Thanks man

[@tylergriffsmith]

Great video. I was recommend PRP injections for hair growth, but the cost of $799 treatment every 3 months FOREVER seemed excessive so I started researching other options. I’ve had face microneedling performed before, and on the scalp it makes a lot of sense in comparison to what PRP offers - which is basically injection of growth cells taken from your own blood that they draw and inject with a needle. This seems like another way that promotes that blood to be targeted to the scalp for hair regrowth through the needling into the skin layers - where blood and growth cells will start to build up to repair and rebuild.

[@isaacmay4245]

I did PRP, 6 sessions (3 over 2 months, then 3 about 6 months later) i only paid $400 for all 6 sessions in Ecuador. I did notice small hairs regrowing but it never made a huge noticeable difference. Now that i'm in the US and seeing the prices of everything here i feel better about doing it then, but its been a couple years and the effects are long gone.

[@rodiculous9464]

I think it's sort of a nice to have but shouldn't be the go to. I've read some studies that couldn't tell if the effects were from the PRP or from the fact that you're basically microneedling to get the prp in.

I did by mistake apply Minoxidil shortly after needling and got reduced heart capacity .... be careful. I had to actually rest directly on the pavement a few minutes after very lightly physical activity, I had this terrible sensation that the heart could not keep up ... However applying Minoxidil the day after the problem was resolved

[@goatmonkey2112]

We needf to see some studies comparing dermarolling and microneedling. People keep saying microneedling is better because it doesn't tear at the scalp in the same way. But isn't that the whole point? It's supposed to cause damage to the scalp. The only studies I've seen results on were from rolling. I'll stick to that until there is actual proof that it's not as good.

[@waveexistence3512]

Very thorough. Thank you. I have a 1mm derma roller that I started in conjunction with minoxidil after previously only using minoxidil and I pretty quickly noticed results (maybe a couple of months) and I was using it once or twice a week. I use it on my scalp and face for my beard as well.

[@dh1474]

Any results?

[@waveexistence3512]

@@dh1474 yes. I don’t use a roller any more though. I’ve been using an adjustable derma-stamp (so the pins puncture straight in and not on a rolling angle so as not to cause as much damage) along with the minoxidil and I also use various essential oils (peppermint sand tea tree with a castor carrier oil) that promote hair growth. I never could grow a beard or much facial hair at all until I began using minoxidil and later on the stamp in conjunction with even better results. I have a fairly decent beard now though my cheeks are a little patchy. I still do all this daily. My scalp is thickening as well. It’s amazing. It takes patience as it takes awhile to see results but stay consistent and you’ll reap the rewards. I hear this machine called a Dermanator 2 is like a stamp but with a motor and makes it go by way faster. Oh I also go to a depth of about 1.5 on my face and scalp. What I’ll do is every morning I’ll use minoxidil and about 5 hours later I’ll rinse my face with warm water to open the pours then I’ll massage some of the essential oil mixture on my beard area and scalp (the essential oils are toxic to pets just an fyi) and later in the evening I’ll use minoxidil again. I will stamp my beard area and scalp once a week. I don’t use any oils or minoxidil when I stamp because of the depth the needles go. I don’t want anything getting into my blood stream.

Great video! I think this summary is your best one yet. Up to you, but would you like to do a video on the difference between using 5% vs.10% Monoxidil? I went straight for 10% thinking it would work quicker.

[@hairliciously]

I'll take a look but I do recall a higher concentration of minoxidil needs a diff carrier. I don't know if the 10% was statistically significant compared to 5% but I'll do some digging and possibly do a video.

[@georgecristian1725]

The difference is the dose. If you use 1ml of 5% minox you're getting 50 mg of minoxidil. If you're using 1ml of 10% minox you're getting 100mg of minoxidil. Technically, 2ml of 5% minoxidil = 1m of 10% minoxidil.

It would be great to develop a dermaroller with minoxidil inside so every time you pass thru an area it stimulates and release minoxidil at the same time

[@BasedOut100mil]

Not a great idea. You don’t want minoxidil to get into your bloodstream, as it will go systemic and greatly increase risk of side effects.

[@litjellyfish]

@@superchampable i only do what the studies says actually. Why would you go bald? I am saying do so the needles goes down 1-2mm into the skin. Which is what is needed. For some people that create bleeding for some not. Also why would you get scarring? If you use a Dermapen you needles goes straight down puncturing to he skin with a fine small hole. If that hole is 0.5mm or 1.5mm deep will not make a difference scarring wise. What makes a difference of course if you don’t allow the wound to heal properly THAT can create scarring. Problem is that those who waste their time and risk scarring by not microneedling to deep. As this video abs several other mention.

I used a 1.5mm for the past 9 months. Dreaded doing it every 2 weeks cuz it really hurts and I’m a baby. I’m pressing hard though and feeling the needle fully penetrate to its full depth. There’s blood everywhere. I just switched to a 1mm. Way less painful. My head still bleeds just as much with a 1mm. Every single pin point bleeds. I’m pressing firmly so the needle actually goes 1mm depth. If you’re using 1.5 and softly pressing, it’s probably only penetrating 0.5mm depth. Why not use a smaller size and firmly press? This would ensure that needle actually goes the intended depth. You might as well use a 10mm needle if you’re just going to gently press it against your head…

When microneedling are you only trying to achieve scalp redness and not draw blood? For instance, when using a 1.5mm microneedling device, the full length must penetrate your skin. Meaning that you must apply the maximum pressure needed for the whole 1.5mm needle to go in right? If so, It's impossible not to get bloody.

[@lastyeartosavemyhair]

Yeah I'm still struggling with this. Too much pressure makes the device almost bounce off my skin. I took a break to figure out depth/penetration before resuming

[@hairliciously]

To be honest, the epidermis is 0.5mm so anything past that by using a 1.5mm with moderate pressure enough to evoke erythema/pinpoint bleeding should potentially penetrate the dermis layer and stimulate the hair follicle stem cell bulge. I've seen people who bleed as well as people who only get redness/pinpoint bleeding. I guess to be sure you're targeting the bulge 100%, you can go as high as 2.5mm and while the full 2.5mm depth isn't theoretically puncturing the scalp, there's no doubt that you'd be hitting the bulge even with moderate pressure.

Hi Lars, would you mind please elaborating a bit more on the concept? Not having totally clear what's the difference between 36 and 12 pins in terms of skin penetration, and why 12 pins would penetrate more as I seem to understand from you. If you could explain bit more, would be great. Thanks!

@@jackics6540 image several needles close together. Naturally their force will be more evenly distributed so they will push the scalp down and the device up.

Any update?

[@shivamxyz123]

@@Jabree No. I'm still trying to figure out the next move. The only inference I can make is that the growth I saw within 1-2 months was "shock growth" from wounding. More substantial regrowth cannot occur without addressing DHT-mediated fibrosis.

So microneedling with 0.5mm needles will not increase hair growth at its own?

[@pierceholston6639]

What kind of numbing cream do you recommend for applying to the scalp before microneedling. Once applied, how long do you have to wait until you start microneedling. I ask because 1.5 millimeters is quite painful and I would like to lessen the pain, all I can do is .75 millimeters; will that get me any results? Thanks.

[@LLisa180]

You need to wait approximately 30 minutes

Thank you for your well-informed video. I've been using microneedling for a few years with good results. Overall, I came across some doctors claiming that it accelerates aging.. I was wondering if you ever did any digging on this topic. I'd be curious to know if it has any merit or not and think it would be a good topic for a video.

[@morganmullins8751]

Curious too. As I’ve heard it gets rid of wrinkles, which is the opposite of aging

i dont think any dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon would claim needling accelerates aging ... they'd claim the opposite, that needling is beneficial ... on the face i've only heard a cosmetic surgeon i personally know who said that on the face he prefers to not going deeper than 0.75 mm since higher than that could cause microscopic scarring

[@larazeli1306]

@@rsmith9094 in regards to the scarring i also had some apprehensions as i feel microneedles would scar the scalp wnd hence not have any hair follicles

[@ImTheDes]

how long do you spend microneedling your hair? and if i use nanoxidil instead am i able to use it on the same day i microneedle since theres less side effects than minoxidil so there wont be any systemic issues?

[@leotravel85]

Wait 12 hours after microneedling before using minoxidil or you can get side effects

[@alljam9201]

How often should you microneedle for hair growth ? Is once a week ok or once every two week?

[@Adam-M1]

The video states this depending on length of needle.

[@miyoshiumeki]

the best thing is to go to a clinician so they can go around your existing hair. DIY in this case can do serious damage.

[@tylerbroek]

How long after microneedling can you use shampoo and hair products? Do you apply anything to the scalp before or after microneedling?

[@miyoshiumeki]

24 hours

[@petedigiacomo2445]

Hey, thank you for another great video. Your videos are so educational. I have a Dr pen and my questions are how fast should I use for the speed, all the way up or down? I use the 36 needle one and I also have the 12, does it really matter how many needles ?

[@themetaldudespodcast8136]

I'm curious to the needle question as well. More needles sounds like more coverage but maybe there is a less is more reaction involved with the scalp and micro needling.

Anyone else have a lot of skin shedding from their scalp with this? Looks like dandruff but its just dry/dead skin exfoliating. I've done it two weekends in a row and not noticing results yet. Trying 2x per day rogaine but missing often.

But you don't push them all the way in, just gently roll over the scalp with moderate discomfort. So, I don't get why there are different lengths at all.

My only concern, as someone whom is moreso battling some diffuse thinning and not working on a shiny bald area, is damaging/severing existing healthy hair follicles while using my derma-pen. Any thoughts/comments/research in that regard that could maybe put me at ease, as I don't want to turn minor diffuse thinning into a 'major problem'.

[@JulesLife]

I have diffuse and haven’t noticed my derma pen ruining anything 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@tomshaji]

It won't ruin hair

[@yassingurhan6204]

If I were to use the derminator 2 would I have to part my hair follicles in order to stamp those areas? Or would I be able to glide it over my hair while hitting nearby thinning spots? Thank you for all the information you give out :)

[@SkinWitchNYC]

Stamp over areas where there is hair And glide over baldness like a receding hairline.

[@TheEma76]

Hi, could I know the exact depth to use of the needles to have a good hair regrowth? Thank you

[@tomshaji]

1.5

[@NateB]

I used 1.5mm, and switched to 2.0 recently.

[@moesab1281]

Im norwood 6. I hear that scalp gets alot thinner as you lose more and more hair. And doctor on KZbin mentioned that people like me should do 0.5 mm length rather than 1.5mm

[@hairliciously]

you can start lower and work your way up if youre not seeing any results. It truly depends on scalp thickness for each individual.

[@larazeli1306]

I've always been apprehensive about microneedling as i feel it would result in scars on the scalp and hence eliminate hair follicles, especially the ones that cause bleeding. Can someone clarify my doubts?

[@hairliciously]

Stick with 1.5mm and you will be ok

[@Adam-M1]

Anyone do this without any medication like minoxidil or finasteride and get results?
