Microneedling for Hair Loss

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a device with tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the scalp, triggering the body’s natural healing response and stimulating hair growth.

It is often combined with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), growth factors, or topical serums to enhance effectiveness.

How It Works

  • The micro-injuries increase blood flow and release growth factors like VEGF and PDGF.

  • These stimulate stem cells in hair follicles and promote the transition from dormant to active growth phase.

  • When combined with PRP or other topical treatments, the absorption and regenerative effect is amplified.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do PRP injections help with hair loss?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) contains concentrated growth factors that are injected into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles, increase blood flow, and encourage natural hair regrowth. It helps strengthen existing hair and can reactivate dormant follicles.
How many PRP treatments are needed to see results?
Most patients see noticeable improvements after 3 to 6 sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every few months may be recommended for long-term results.
Is the PRP hair restoration treatment painful?
The procedure involves multiple small injections and may cause mild discomfort. A topical numbing cream is applied before the treatment to minimize any pain or sensitivity during the process.
Are there any side effects or downtime after PRP injections?
Side effects are typically mild and may include redness, tenderness, or slight swelling at the injection sites. These usually resolve within 24–48 hours, and most people return to their normal activities immediately.
Who is a good candidate for PRP hair restoration?
PRP is ideal for men and women experiencing early to moderate hair thinning due to genetics, hormonal changes, stress, or aging. It works best for patients who still have active (but weakened) hair follicles.
