Microneedling for hair loss is a regenerative treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the scalp, stimulating natural repair mechanisms and supporting hair follicle regeneration. This technique is widely used in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia. It is supported by strong clinical evidence, particularly when combined with topical or injectable treatments.
How Microneedling Stimulates Hair Growth
Microneedling triggers a wound-healing response that creates a more favourable environment for hair follicles to re-enter and remain in the growth phase.
- Activates growth factor release
- Stimulates stem cells in the follicle bulge area
- Improves blood flow to the scalp
- Enhances absorption of topical hair-loss treatments
Clinical Evidence for Microneedling in Hair Loss
Randomised clinical trials show that microneedling combined with topical minoxidil leads to:
- Greater increases in hair count
- Improved hair thickness
- Faster visible results
What Happens During a Microneedling Treatment
- Medical-grade devices such as automated pens are used
- Treatment depth is tailored to the scalp area
- Sessions typically last 60 minutes
- Mild redness and sensitivity may occur temporarily
Who Is Microneedling for Hair Loss Best Suited To?
- Early to moderate pattern hair loss
