Microneedling
How Microneedling Works for Hair Loss
Microneedling involves creating tiny, controlled punctures in the scalp using a device with fine needles. This process has several potential benefits for hair regrowth:
• Boosting Blood Flow: The micro-injuries stimulate blood flow to the scalp, bringing essential nutrients and oxygen to nourish hair follicles.
• Triggering Growth Factors: Microneedling may activate growth factors responsible for hair follicle development and regeneration.
• Improved Absorption of Topical Products: Pairing microneedling with topical medications, like minoxidil, can enhance their penetration and absorption, potentially improving their effectiveness.
Is Microneedling Right for You?
Microneedling can be considered for certain types of alopecia, particularly alopecia areata. It may also be helpful alongside other treatments for androgenic alopecia (pattern hair loss in men and women). A dermatological consultation is essential to determine your suitability and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Here's who might benefit most from microneedling:
Alopecia Areata: Studies suggest the combination of microneedling and topical corticosteroids could lead to significant hair regrowth in this condition.
• Early-Stage Hair Loss: Microneedling may be most helpful in those with recent or mild to moderate hair thinning.
• Combination Therapy: This procedure can be used to increase the effectiveness of other hair loss treatments.
What to Expect During Microneedling
Microneedling is usually an in-office procedure with the following steps:
• Preparation: Your scalp will be cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied for comfort.
• Treatment: The dermatologist will use a microneedling device to create controlled punctures across the affected areas of the scalp.
• Aftercare: Mild redness and tenderness are expected but generally subside quickly. Your dermatologist will provide aftercare instructions.
Most patients benefit from multiple microneedling sessions spaced about a month apart for optimal results.
