Scalp Massage For Hair Loss [48 Weeks] + Top Hair Loss Treatments

After seeing promising results in the first 24 week experimental scalp massage, I continued this for a further 48 weeks.

The first 24 weeks was a strict 5 minutes/day, the second 24 weeks was a "do what you can" approach that didn't go well, and the third 24 weeks of scalp massage was 20 minutes, three times a week.

In hindsight the key component is likely to be frequency and not cumulative time, the way the research paper correlated improvements gave the impression that better results were related to total overall time. In the video I suggest an optimal approach as twice a day, or every 12 hours, and re-reading the paper that's actually what was proposed.

However, 2 x 20 mins/day is a ridiculous time cost, equivalent to 20 hours/month. If you chose Redensyl at £20/month you could fund it with 2-3 hours paid work, far more efficient than massage. Instead, I feel that after a few minutes the blood flow is pretty maximised, and there's less to be gained from long duration sessions. 5 minutes a day is still 2 hours/month but it's easier to fit that in while doing other activities, or if choosing the lying down approach then doing it first thing in the morning and last thing at night would suit it well.

My next protocol is exciting! I didn't want to start too many new things because you wouldn't know what was actually effective, but the derma-rolling and topical solution fit nicely together and supplements are a simple addition to my breakfast. I will consider moving to a longer needle if results are underwhelming, but doing this once a week is a welcome change from the higher frequency protocols.

I should note that I film these videos using an intense light (you can see it reflected in my pupils) and while demonstrating the scalp massage my scalp was very visible. My hair loss isn't quite at that stage yet under natural light so there's no deception going on with my progress pictures.
