What is Hair Microneedling?

Hair microneedling is an innovative technique gaining popularity in the world of hair restoration. it involves using a specialized device equipped with fine needles to create micro-injuries on the scalp. These controlled injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, promoting the release of growth factors and enhancing blood circulation to the hair follicles. Over time, this leads to stronger, thicker hair growth and improved scalp condition. The procedure is backed by scientific research and has been proven to be effective in rejuvenating dormant hair follicles and combating hair loss.

The Microneedling Process

Preparation and Numbing

Before the microneedling session, the scalp is thoroughly cleansed to remove any impurities. A topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure, ensuring a comfortable experience for the patient.

Microneedling Procedure

The microneedling device, featuring fine, precision needles, is gently rolled or stamped across the scalp. This process creates thousands of tiny punctures, which stimulate the scalp’s natural healing response. The controlled micro-injuries encourage increased collagen and elastin production, vital components for healthy hair growth.

Post-Treatment Care

Following the procedure, a nourishing serum or growth factor is applied to the scalp. This step is crucial as it aids in the healing process and maximizes the absorption of beneficial ingredients. Patients are advised to avoid washing their hair for 24 hours, refrain from direct sun exposure, and steer clear of harsh hair products.

Benefits of Hair Microneedling

01

 Microneedling works by creating micro-injuries on the scalp, which helps in waking up the dormant hair follicles. It will start the natural healing process through which hair follicles are directed to transition into the anagen phase—hair growth—to develop new hair.

02

Increased blood flow and nourishment to the hair follicles encourage the growth of thicker and denser hair. This strengthens the already existing hair strands, making them less prone to breakage and shedding.

03

It improves the overall health of the scalp by increasing blood flow and cellular turnover. A healthier scalp provides a better environment for hair growth.

04

Hair microneedling is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment with low risk and little downtime. Most patients can resume daily activities shortly after a procedure, having only mild discomfort.

05

Microneedling, compared to the other more invasive hair restoration procedures, generally remains more affordable and accessible for most people.

One of the main benefits of microneedling is that is can also help increase the uptake of other hair regeneration treatments. By breaking the top layer of skin, this can increase the absorption rate of the treatments.

Who Can Benefit from Hair Microneedling?

Candidate

01. Individuals with
Thinning Hair

Hair microneedling is especially beneficial for those experiencing mild to moderate hair thinning. The treatment stimulates dormant hair follicles, promoting thicker and more robust hair growth. By increasing blood circulation and encouraging collagen production in the scalp, microneedling helps to improve hair density and combat thinning.

02.People with Early-Stage Hair Loss

For individuals in the early stages of hair loss, microneedling can be an effective preventive measure. The treatment can slow down the progression of hair loss by rejuvenating the scalp and strengthening existing hair follicles. This makes it a good option for those who want to address hair loss before it becomes more pronounced.

03.Individuals Seeking a Non-Invasive Treatment Option

For those hesitant about more invasive hair restoration methods like hair transplants, microneedling offers a less invasive alternative. The procedure does not require surgery, has minimal downtime, and is associated with fewer risks and side effects compared to more aggressive treatments.

04.Those with Scalp Scarring or Poor Scalp Health

Microneedling can improve overall scalp health by promoting healing and reducing inflammation. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with scalp scarring from previous injuries or surgeries, as it can help to break down scar tissue and improve the environment for hair growth. Additionally, for those suffering from poor scalp health due to conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, microneedling can help to rejuvenate the scalp and reduce symptoms.

05.Individuals with
Stress-Related Hair Loss

Hair loss caused by stress, also known as telogen effluvium, can benefit from microneedling as it encourages the hair to return to its normal growth phase more quickly. By improving scalp circulation and providing a healthier environment for hair follicles, microneedling can help to reverse the effects of stress-induced hair shedding.

06.Those Looking to Improve Hair Texture and Thickness

Even if you’re not experiencing significant hair loss, microneedling can still be beneficial for improving the texture and thickness of your hair. Regular treatments can help to strengthen hair strands, reduce breakage, and enhance the overall appearance and health of your hair.

Risks and Side Effects of Hair Microneedling

While microneedling is accompanied by numerous benefits for skin rejuvenation and hair growth, it does come along with its share of cons and associated risks, such as:

Pain and Discomfort

Microneedling may be painful or uncomfortable during the performance time; even with topical numbing creams, it may be a little Ouchy. Many people link it to a mild pricking or tingling sensation. However, it could get a little more uncomfortable for people who have a low threshold for pain.

Redness and Irritation

The skin or the scalp treated post-treatment may redden and become irritated. The redness and swelling usually resolve on their own in a few days but can last longer in some people, resulting in temporary discomfort and appearance disturbance. 

Risk of Infection

Since microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin, there stands the chance of infection if proper hygiene and aftercare measures are not undertaken. Poor hygiene practices, lack of sterile equipment, or not keeping the treated area clean enough could lead to bacterial infections.

Scarring

This can occur because of bad technique or if microneedling devices are not suitable for your skin type. This may be of particular risk for people prone to the formation of keloids or very sensitive skin.

Downtime

While microneedling is minimally invasive, there is still some associated downtime. Depending on the depth and intensity of treatment, the skin may take a few days to return to normal, for which time the patient may need to avoid activities and products.

Not Suitable for Everyone

Those with some medical conditions, skin infections, or poor wound healing are not the right candidates for microneedling. Microneedling also isn’t recommended for women who are pregnant. It’s crucial to consult an expert who can tell you if the treatment is proper for you.

Device Quality and Precision:

Expertise and Supervision:

Customization and Personalized Care:

Additional Therapies:
