Speaker A
I want to freak you. I want to freak you. I want to freak you.
Speaker A
I want to break you. Every time I close my eyes, hair go up in morning, hairs were out of my mind.
Speaker A
Woo! MDJ, hello English YouTube community. This is MDJ and I have angelope, apparently. Just look at my forehead.
Speaker A
Oh, you see skin right over here. However, if you look closely, [Music] puzzle tiny hairs are growing. And if you look at top of my head, no joke, no lie. Okay, it is not 100% perfectly recovered. I know. However, so
Speaker A
so much better than one year ago. And I will share my experience with you.
Speaker A
Briefly, briefly. Why so briefly? Because this video focuses more on scalp massaging. Why? Because I realize that many, many people think only scalp massage alone can help you find your hair back.
Speaker A
It is possible but very, very hard. Very, very hard. It also requires so many factors. You have to take care of your body entirely.
Speaker A
Then it might come true. Okay. And there is another reason why I make this video.
Speaker A
Usually I don't make any English video. However, there's another English channel invited me and they want me to try out their device which is called Grop and Pro. It is a scalp massaging device and they want me to review and make some
Speaker A
comments on it. And I told them, okay, okay, I can make some comments on your device. However, I have been using scalp massaging with my hand for a year. So there won't be before and after pictures but I can definitely make some comments
Speaker A
how your device works. Okay. So first I want to talk about my story very briefly because it is so important like I started my treatment around August 2024.
Speaker A
So that is about one year ago. At the beginning I took pheno and minidil topical on my scalp. Then after around two and 2.5 months I gave up. I quit using any medicine. Why?
Speaker A
Because I found something good which called microneedle. After I use microneedle on my head, I can feel that something is going on my hair. That is why I quit using medicine. But I never deny that I have
Speaker A
used it. Why? Because maybe just possible somehow those medicine in those two and 2.5 months they just like on a battlefield. They just turn it around. I just turn it around and make my scalp back to the base that I can recover with
Speaker A
only scalp massage and microneedle. That could be true. So I won't deny that and I don't want to ignore that. I think you should know this. You need to record how your head feels like and how your
Speaker A
hands feel like. Why? After you using minoxidil, okay? Back for 2 weeks or 3 weeks, you can feel your scalp is moving more easily.
Speaker A
So I think although I quit using minoxidil, however, if one day you do the scalp massage and you realize that oh man it is tight tight tight tight then probably you can start using minoxidil once again. I think
Speaker A
it could be a good way. Why I mean why not? It doesn't mean that we have to avoid medicine forever. Sometimes we just need them. By this way we can reduce the amount, right? So another thing I want to talk about is sleeping
Speaker A
especially melatonin, melatonin. Why? When it comes to androgen alopecia, most of the people come up with DHT. But it is correct.
Speaker A
It is only half correct because the key point is androgen receptor. And receptor combines with DHT. Then the follicle is attacked.
Speaker A
However, DHT has its purpose. It's useful. It is good because it can be anti-inflammatory. Just look up all the studies. You don't have to believe me 100%. Just Google it.
Speaker A
It can be anti-inflammatory. So think about it. If you are taking a fin or duty reducing 70% to 90% level of DHT, think about it after 40 or 50 years. Think about it. Something can happen, right?
Speaker A
There are many things that said it is very, very safe 30 or 40 years ago.
Speaker A
However, now it is proved that it is not that safe. It is not that safe. Okay.
Speaker A
And fin is widely used around 30 years ago. It is your option. I'm just telling that.
Speaker A
And a good sleep means better melatonin. And Google it. Melatonin can make your androgen receptor sensitivity lower. It can reduce the sensitivity of your androgen receptor. So good sleep also matters. That is one thing. And another thing I want to talk about is fascia. I
Speaker A
don't know if my pronunciation is okay but I will just call it. So fascia, if you look at the fascia behind our body in the back of our body. Okay, it starts with the bottom of our feet and it goes up. It goes up
Speaker A
to our butt, no, not our S, our butt and around our spine, neck and to the forehead.
Speaker A
Think about it. If you believe in scalp massage as such and you are ignoring your fascia then what would happen?
Speaker A
The benefits you just gained from scalp massaging will be destroyed if you don't have the right position. If you are destroying your fascia like what? Look at my chair.
Speaker A
It is a very simple and cheap chair. Why I use cheap chair? Because it is good. If you sit on this cheap chair and use computer like this playing League of Legends, our back is pretty straight and I use my
Speaker A
muscle. Guess what? Guess what? Either mechanical stress and mechanical tension can lead to radical oxygen and inflammatory and TGF beta 1. I guess you have already heard of TGF beta 1 if you really did lots of research on
Speaker A
androgen alopecia. TGF beta 1 makes your head fibrosis and makes your any kind of tissue even your other muscles fibrosis.
Speaker A
So a good sitting position is very, very important. Do not ignore them. Do not ignore them otherwise you will be so disappointed. Then since we talk about it, it also means that rounded back is not allowed like this.
Speaker A
See if you are using computer like this, you are hunched up. Okay, you are hunched up. And also if you are doing too much, too much, this probably won't hurt your hair. However, it is not normal. See, it is also harmful for your spine and
Speaker A
for your back. So, don't do this. So, the position is quite important and I recommend you do some yoga. I really like yoga and I do yoga at least twice a week. At least minimum. Usually every day.
Speaker A
Usually every day. I think it does work. Why? Because just look at the fascia and the muscle. If when it is rounded back, it pulls, it pulls the muscle here, pulls and pulls your neck back here, back and
Speaker A
your scalp was there, there. You know, can you understand me? That is why our scalp tension is so high. But if you have very healthy body like this then scalp tension can be solved and also with scalp massaging both combined
Speaker A
scalp tension solved, problem solved. However, this is not enough. Why? Because in old days the hum is already made.
Speaker A
That is why we need microneedle. Microneedle is pretty important. Pretty important. The TGF beta 1 is already there and the fibrosis is already there.
Speaker A
So we have to kill them. We have to kill them. So scalp massage can it work?
Speaker A
Yes, it can work. However, it combines you have to take care of so many, so many things then it works. Oh, and also by the way, when I said sleep and I say melatonin is so important, it doesn't
Speaker A
mean that you need to buy melatonin and eat them. I don't mean that. I mean you need enough sunrise in the morning and you need to sleep well at night.
Speaker A
You can find that easily in both Indian culture and Chinese culture. All right. There's sun and moon in yin. You need to balance the body. You need to balance the body.
Speaker A
These things are very highly related to scalp massaging. And if you don't take care of them only scalp massage, I don't think they can work very well.
Speaker A
But for someone who doesn't have this kind of problem, like they're always sleeping well and they always sit very well and they don't have any problem with their back or other positions, then probably you see some comments on both my
Speaker A
channel or other people's channel. Somebody says they use scalp massage and their hair grows back and many people think they are liars, they are scamming but it is not. It is just that probably they don't have other problems
Speaker A
and of course
Speaker A
Of course you want to reduce of them. All right. So now let's make some review of this Gen Pro device.
Speaker A
Uh I remember it was shipped by DHL and really shipped very fast from United Kingdom to Asia. Oh my god. So fast. So much faster than I thought. I thought it will take around one week but not and I have used it several times. I tell
Speaker A
you when you do scum massage or with this you need to relax your body. Okay?
Speaker A
You need to fully relax. Do not take it too seriously and do not watch some too exciting videos or like games like basketball games. That is not good. You need to relax, enjoy some music, play some music maybe. And the good thing for this
Speaker A
device is that uh it is not electric line. It is not cable. No, it is not. It works like a bumper. Bumper.
Speaker A
See, it will blow like a blow drop. It It blow drop the air to this to this and it blows air into the massaging device.
Speaker A
See, that's a And this adjustment circle, I need to put it behind our head. Right. Uh the first time I use it, I do like this. I like I was like, "Woody hawk. Woody walk." How how can it works? It always drops off.
Speaker A
Now I thought ah I I'm using it wrongly wrongly. So this is good. You see it and adjust it to the right size to the right size. And we open open this device.
Speaker A
There's a controller controller. See? And we can adjust the inflating time, a holding time, deflate and weight. And the unit is millisecond. And the unit is mill. So, so it is 3 seconds inflating, 2 seconds holding, 3 seconds deflating,
Speaker A
and 1 second waiting. Okay. So, I will just get study. Oh sh the way how it works.
Speaker A
You see you see my hair [Music] looks like this around 360°. M. [Music] Okay.
Speaker A
M. Yeah, this is how it works. And if you want to see my hand massage, you can go there and check my other videos.
Speaker A
And for this part, I do the massage with my hand and try to move my scalp to the top of my head.
Speaker A
This part is pretty similar and probably a little bit better because it is not just a little bit. Okay, it is much better because it is 360°.
Speaker A
And as I said also you can wear this and watch a basic hit ball game or baseball game but I think baseball game are okay because basic bowl game is uh slowier is slowly what I mean is that do it with
Speaker A
relaxing mode. Yeah. If you're doing scal massaging and you are having a very intense mode I don't think it can work well. Yeah.
Speaker A
The mood also matters. Why? Because of the hormone. Hormone can also lead to any kind of environment or the DHT levels. So about scalp massaging, different people have different choice. Some of the people wants to save their time and if you want
Speaker A
to save the time and energy, you can use a device to help you. And if you want to save money then you can definitely with your hand. It is your choice up to you.
Speaker A
