Your protocol
Your protocol is a week of short routines written for your stage of hair loss - what to do each day, in what order. You do not pick it, and you do not need to.
A week, by weekday
Your routine follows the calendar. Everyone on the same program trains on the same weekdays, and some days are rest days - often at the start of the week. The strip at the top of the protocol page shows this week from Monday to Sunday: the days you have done, the rest days as outlines, and today.
If you joined mid-week, the days before you joined are simply not yours. Nothing counts them as missed.
Why it is chosen for you
Your week is matched to you from your intake answers and the stage on your most recent scan. If a new scan moves your stage, your week can change to the one written for it, and that is the app working.
Weeks are being written stage by stage. If your stage does not have one yet, the protocol page says so plainly rather than handing you a week written for someone else. Your scans and the rest of the app work as normal in the meantime.
What is on the page
- Today’s sequence - the steps of today, numbered, with how long each takes. Tap a step to see its instructions and its film.
- Recommended and Optional - extras waiting at the bottom until you say yes. Adding to your routine covers them.
- The safety line - see below.
- Your daily reminder and the music for the session.
- Start session.
Rest days
A rest day is part of the plan, not a gap. The page says it is a rest day, shows your week, and names your next session and its weekday. There is no reminder on a rest day, and nothing is missed.
The safety notes
Every session day carries one line: irritated scalp, open sores or a scalp condition? Skip today and see a doctor. Tap Safety notes beside it for the full notes - irritation, acne and sores, looking after the dermaroller, scalp conditions that need a doctor, and Minoxidil.
Densy works in the space between medicine and biohacking. If anything is wrong with your scalp, see a doctor before you carry on.
Your daily reminder
The first time you open the protocol page it asks when should we remind you? Pick morning, midday, evening or another time, and the reminder comes once a day at that hour on your session days. Rest days stay quiet. Change on the reminder row lets you pick again, and Not now leaves it off.
There is no finish line
Densy does not run for a set number of weeks. The week repeats; there is nothing to complete, and nothing to catch up on.
Common questions
My routine changed and I did not do anything. A new scan almost certainly landed and moved your stage.
I missed several days. Should I catch up? No. Start again with today.
Can I do my routine twice in a day? You can, and the extra session is logged. It does not count twice toward your streak.
Why is one of my steps greyed out with a clock? It has to wait after another step. Minoxidil is never done within 12 to 24 hours of the dermaroller, so on the dermaroller day, and for a while after your own dermaroller session, it says not today.
