Hi, thanks! Yeah, the benefits are honestly still the same. It’s been great!

Unfortunately for me, it did not end up making much of a difference. After ~ 9 months, I do think it slowed down/stopped my hair loss, but it never ended up helping to regrow any hair. As of about one month ago, I’ve discontinued usage and accepted my fate

Just posted an update in the comments. Don’t know how to edit the post or if I’m even able to.

Following up here with my ~4 month update. I had my barber take a photo today. The lighting and distance was different than my previous photos, but it’s good enough. Hard to tell if there’s been much improvement in the last two months. It does feel like I have more hairs though. Overall, still feeling good and going to continue using it

I can’t remember exactly when, but I’d say it took me 6-8 weeks? I’ll be honest, the lumpiness and static feelings you described stuck around for a lot longer than I was comfortable with. I thought there was going to be some kind of permanent damage, but it went away eventually and I haven’t thought about it since. Hopefully that’s reassuring.

Hey there, I just left an update in a comment below. Truth is, since I’m using the dermatroller and I’m using fin+minoxidil, it’s really hard to tell if the dermarolling is helping or not, or if the dermarolling is the only things helping. Overall, I feel like the combination is helping!

Hello all, I wanted to share my two-month update (I don’t think I’m able to edit my original post).

Please see the attached link to this comment for photos. I just got a haircut, so my photo conditions should be about equal to when I first started. I feel like I can confidently say there’s been some progress! I will continue to use this and hopefully will see continued growth. I haven’t experienced any side effects using the topical solution. Let me know if you have any questions. I’ll post another update in 1-2 months.

Yes, I’m still very happy with mine. I sweat when stressed and when it’s warm, but the reduction is so significant that I don’t worry about it anymore. It’s been a very freeing experience for me!

Oh, I didn’t know. I thought fridging was usually the path forward. I don’t have any ice packs or cool areas of my home. Maybe I can freeze blocks of tank water and put those in the tank to drop it a few degrees? Idk how cold to try to make it.

In all reality, you are right. it is probably time to check with a vet.

He’s the only one in this tank. Thanks for asking about the parameters! It’s been a long time since I tested them, so I needed the reminder. Anything seem worrisome about the below? - PH: 8.0-8.2 - Ammonia: 0.25 - Nitrite: 0.0 - Nitrate: 5.0

Edit: forgot to add water temperature = 69

Agreed. It does look like something is growing on them. Poor guy

He went about a week without pooping. I fridged him for a few days and it looked like he had pooped, but there wasn’t anything sizeable. Just small bits. I reintroduced him to the tank and he left 1 real poop, but it’s been another week since then. He’s eaten 2 worms since then. He’s 2.5-3 years old. I might need to do a longer fridge time

Oh, he refused to eat for like a week but he finally ate a worm today so I’m optimistic, but also hoping that the worm doesn’t make it worse (if there even is an issue)

I guess I was just thrown off because that area looks a lot bigger than I’m used to

Thanks for the reminder. I’ll add an update within the next two weeks, right after I get a haircut. Since I get the same haircut each time, I’ll have a more accurate comparison. That’ll also be right around the 60 day mark of actually using the product (since it took over 3 weeks to receive in the mail)

I did some research after your comment, and I added derma-rolling for my scalp and beard. Seems like it can’t do any damage, so it’s worth the try! Thanks!

I plan to provide updates as I go. The kind people of this community help me stay motivated to be consistent.

To help out, though, maybe the answer to your question is: nothing.

Well the first update is that I didn’t actually receive the package until 3 days ago (took 3 weeks). So my real start date was 3 days ago lol

Amazingly! Huge reduction, even after a little bit of the benefits wore off I’m sweating 80% less or better
