Medical Microneedling for Hair Restoration

Microneedling, a minimally invasive procedure, stimulates hair growth by creating tiny punctures in the scalp. This triggers the body’s natural healing process, increasing blood flow and promoting the growth of new hair follicles. Ideal for those experiencing hair thinning or hair loss, microneedling can be a safe and effective solution for restoring a fuller, healthier head of hair.

Microneedling for the face and neck can be done once per month.

For hair restoration, Microneedling can be done once every 2 weeks.

Medical microneedling, while generally safe, is not suitable for everyone. Here are some groups who should avoid it:

• • People with bleeding disorders or those taking blood thinners: The procedure can cause bleeding, which could be problematic for individuals with clotting issues or those on medications that thin the blood.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women: While there’s no definitive evidence of harm, it’s generally recommended to avoid any unnecessary procedures during these times.
  • Individuals with active skin infections or inflammation: This includes conditions like active acne, eczema, or psoriasis.
  • People with a history of keloid scarring: Microneedling can potentially trigger the formation of keloids, which are raised, thick scars.
  • Those with compromised immune systems: This includes individuals undergoing chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or those with autoimmune diseases.
  • People with a history of cold sores: The procedure can potentially trigger an outbreak.

When in doubt consult with a dermatologist or a qualified medical professional to determine if microneedling is safe and appropriate for you. They can assess your individual health condition and provide personalized advice.

It typically takes 4-6 weeks to see the full results of microneedling. However, you may notice some immediate improvements, such as reduced redness and a smoother complexion.

Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:

• • Immediately after treatment: You may experience some redness and swelling, which is normal.
  • Within a few days: The redness and swelling should subside, and you may notice your skin feeling tighter and smoother.
  • 4-6 weeks: This is when you’ll start to see the most significant results, as your skin will have produced new collagen.

It’s important to note that the results of microneedling are gradual and cumulative. You may need multiple treatments to achieve your desired results.
