Micro-needling and peyronie's

[ljames]

Hi guys,

I'm new here so sorry if this breaks any rules or is in the wrong place.

I was thinking that I use micro-needling the help some hair loss product absorb, like minoxidil. would this have any benefit for the penis, was thinking that maybe the vitamin e or castor oil or something might have a chance of reaching the target. and apparently it's great for skin anyway, people seem to use it on their face with no issues.

I'm torn between thinking this is the stupidest thing I've ever thought of or that it's just about stupid enough to work. tried googling it but couldn't find anything other than Sandra Bullock seems to micro needle foreskins into her face which while very very strange!! is not helpful.

If anyone has any thoughts advice or opinions I would be very grateful

I just wanted to add as I am reading up on it now, that it it apparently promotes the growth of new collagen-rich tissue:

"Depending on the wound type and severity, the inflammation phase begins immediately after injury and may last for an average of 7–14 days. Concurrent with the inflammation phase or slightly delayed, cell proliferation is stimulated followed by the activation of the remodeling (maturation) phase" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3921236/


It is effective on stretch marks that is the layer under the skin ripping and also can repair deep acne scars so I don't see why it wouldn't promote similar healing in peyronie's sufferers.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4976400/ - this study also mentions the benefits of penetrating the skin barrier


But again I'm really not sure as I've not had Peyronies Disease for that long (8 months) so sure there is someone out there who knows more than me

I dont know what to think about this... But i can tell you that doctors made " study" for penile injections. One gropu would have real medication injcted while other just placebo ( salt and water). Of corse that real medication had some more improvment then placebo... But placebo group had improvment too ... Hmm intersting. That means that just sticking sterile empty needle in your plaque can impruve your condition...OF CORSE DONT DO THAT BECAUE YOU WILL PROBABLY MISS PLAQUE DOCTORS O THAT EITH MEDICATION. just my oppinion. Sorry for bad English

You may get to the plaque when it seems only about 1mm below the surface but would have to puncture the overlying layers, and would it be possible without puncturing the dorsal nerves that lie over the tunica.

I tried micro needling using acupuncture needles into the plaque, didn't work and actually aggravated the plaque.

Iontophoresis can be used to bring compounds like Verapamil to the plaque. I'll try this treatment in the upcoming months, 10 sessions biweekly with 10mg verapamil and 4 MG dexamethasone  

[projectpd]

I think was a study that verapamil iontophoresis and injection combined was more effective than either.  
Good luck . i am sure ionto can be done easily at home. Will update if i do it.

Projected, you don't mean injections at home do you?
