What is scalp microneedling?

Scalp microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a small device with multiple tiny needles to create small punctures in the scalp. The process is similar to traditional microneedling, which is used to improve the appearance of the skin on the face and other parts of the body. Scalp microneedling is often used as a treatment for hair loss, as the punctures created by the needles can help stimulate blood flow and increase the production of collagen and other growth factors in the scalp. This, in turn, can help promote hair growth and improve the overall health and appearance of the hair. The procedure is typically performed in a clinical setting by a trained professional. Before the treatment, the scalp is cleaned and numbed to minimize any discomfort. The microneedling device is then gently rolled over the scalp, creating small punctures in the skin. After the treatment, it is normal to experience some redness and mild swelling in the treated area. These symptoms usually subside within a few hours to a few days. It is also important to avoid exposing the scalp to sunlight or other sources of heat for a few days after the treatment. Overall, scalp microneedling is a safe and effective treatment for hair loss that can help stimulate hair growth and improve the health and appearance of the hair. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, it is important to consult with a qualified professional before undergoing the treatment to ensure that it is appropriate for you. We recommend combining scalp microneedling with other treatments such as Fotona Restart and/or Platelet Rich Plasma for optimal results.
