Scalp Microneedling
What is Scalp Microneedling?
Scalp Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment designed to stimulate hair growth and improve scalp health by using fine needles to create tiny punctures in the scalp’s skin. This process helps enhance circulation, stimulate hair follicles, and promote the absorption of hair growth serums or topical treatments.
How Scalp Microneedling Works:
- Microneedling: A device with small, fine needles is used to create controlled micro-injuries in the scalp. These tiny punctures trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen production and improving blood flow to the hair follicles.
- Hair Growth Stimulation: The micro-channels created by the needles help to increase the absorption of growth factors or topical treatments (such as PRP, minoxidil, or other serums), further enhancing their effectiveness.
- Collagen & Elastin Production: The process encourages the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for healthy skin and hair follicles.
Symptoms Treated by Scalp Microneedling:
- Hair Thinning: Helps to increase hair density and reduce thinning.
- Hair Loss: Stimulates dormant hair follicles, promoting hair regrowth in areas with hair loss or alopecia.
- Receding Hairline: Encourages hair regrowth in the temples and forehead area, where hairlines tend to recede.
- Scalp Health: Improves overall scalp health, including reducing dandruff, dryness, or irritation.
- Post-Hair Loss Recovery: Aids in faster recovery of hair follicles after hair loss due to stress, hormonal imbalances, or other conditions.

Benefits of Scalp Microneedling:
- Non-Surgical Treatment: A non-invasive procedure with minimal downtime.
- Improves Hair Regrowth: Stimulates hair follicles and promotes hair regrowth naturally.
- Boosts Serum Absorption: Increases the absorption of growth-promoting serums or treatments.
- Enhances Blood Circulation: Improves blood flow to hair follicles, encouraging growth and strengthening existing hair.

Treatment Plan:
- Number of Sessions: Typically 3–6 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results.
- Maintenance: After the initial series, maintenance sessions may be needed every 4–6 months to sustain hair growth.
- Duration of Treatment: Each session lasts around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Post-Treatment Care:
- Avoid washing the hair for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
- Avoid direct sunlight or heat for a few days.
- Apply recommended hair growth serums or oils to the treated area to enhance results.
