Microneedling for hair loss is a relatively new treatment that can help to reduce hair loss and promote hair growth. It involves using very fine needles to puncture the skin on the scalp and create tiny injuries.
This stimulates the body to produce new collagen and elastin, which are proteins associated with hair growth. The treatment is done in a series of sessions, with each session being around 45 minutes long. During the treatment, the patient’s scalp is numbed using a topical anesthetic. A microneedling device is then used to puncture the skin at various depths, depending on the desired outcome. The benefits of microneedling for hair loss include increased blood circulation to the scalp, which can lead to improved hair growth.
