Microneedling for Hair Growth: A Safe and Natural Solution

Hair thinning and hair loss are concerns for both men and women. If you’re noticing a widening part, a thinning crown, or increased shedding, you’re not alone. Fortunately, there’s a natural and effective way to support healthy hair regrowth: microneedling for hair loss.

At Dr. Monica Scheel Dermatology, we offer scalp microneedling for regrowth as a non-surgical, science-backed treatment that stimulates your body’s natural healing process to encourage fuller, healthier hair.

What Is Scalp Microneedling?

Microneedling involves using a device with ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the scalp. These tiny punctures trigger the body’s natural repair mechanisms—boosting collagen, enhancing blood flow, and reactivating dormant hair follicles.

When performed by trained professionals, microneedling hair loss treatments are safe and well-tolerated. It’s a great option for those with early-stage hair thinning or those who want to improve scalp health.

Why Add PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?

For even greater results, we often pair microneedling with PRP. Platelet-rich plasma is derived from a small sample of your own blood. It’s rich in growth factors that promote tissue repair and cellular regeneration.

During the treatment, the PRP is applied directly to the scalp after microneedling. The micro-channels created by the needles allow for deeper absorption of the PRP, maximizing its regenerative benefits.

Benefits of Microneedling with PRP:

• Stimulates natural hair regrowth
  
• Improves scalp circulation
  
• Increases hair density and thickness
  
• Uses your body’s own healing system—no medications or surgery
  

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Scalp microneedling for regrowth is ideal for:

• Men and women with mild to moderate hair thinning
  
• Patients with androgenetic alopecia (male/female pattern baldness)
  
• Those looking to boost the results of other hair loss treatments
  
• Anyone seeking a more natural approach without the side effects of medication
  

What to Expect During and After Treatment

A typical session takes 45-60 minutes. We begin by cleansing the scalp, then perform microneedling followed by PRP application if included in your treatment plan.

Some redness or tenderness may be present for 24-48 hours, but downtime is minimal. For best results, a series of 3-6 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart is recommended.

When Will I See Results?

Hair regrowth is gradual. Most patients begin to notice less shedding and improved texture within 2-3 months. More visible regrowth usually occurs around 4-6 months after starting treatment.

A Safe, Holistic Approach to Hair Health

Microneedling hair loss treatments, especially when combined with microneedling with PRP, offer a safe and natural alternative to more invasive or medication-based hair restoration options.
