Description

Microneedling for hair loss is an increasingly popular, non-invasive treatment aimed at stimulating hair regrowth, especially in cases of androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). It can be effective on its own, but it's often more powerful when combined with other treatments like minoxidil (Rogaine) or platelet-rich plasma (PRP). 🔬 How Microneedling Helps Hair Growth Microneedling creates micro-injuries in the scalp, which: Trigger wound healing and collagen production Activate stem cells in the hair bulge area Enhance blood flow to hair follicles Increase the absorption of topical treatments (like minoxidil or PRP) Upregulate genes that promote hair growth factors (e.g., VEGF, Wnt) 📌 Best Candidates Early to moderate androgenetic alopecia Thinning hair or hairline recession People looking to boost the effects of other treatments (minoxidil, PRP) ⚙️ Microneedling Options Method Description Use Dermaroller A handheld roller with fixed needles (0.25–1.5 mm) Home use Dermapen / Professional device Motorized pen with adjustable depth (up to 2.5 mm) In-clinic use PRP + Microneedling PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is injected or applied topically during treatment High-end, professional combo ✅ Benefits Improves hair density and thickness Encourages new hair growth Safe and minimally invasive Affordable alternative to surgery ❌ Drawbacks / Risks Mild redness, irritation, or pinpoint bleeding Requires multiple sessions (typically 1–2x/month for 3–6 months) Results vary (may take 3–6 months to notice) Not effective for complete baldness 🧴 Aftercare Tips for Scalp Avoid hair products, sweating, or washing the scalp for at least 8–12 hours post-treatment. Use a gentle shampoo the next day. Don't apply minoxidil immediately after—wait 24 hours unless advised otherwise.
