A: Microneedling stimulates hair growth through several mechanisms. The tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the scalp, which triggers the body’s natural healing response and increases blood circulation to hair follicles. This improved circulation delivers more nutrients and oxygen to follicles, promoting healthier hair growth. Additionally, microneedling activates stem cells around hair follicles and can help revive dormant follicles, leading to new hair growth and increased hair density

A: Most clients need 6-12 microneedling sessions for optimal hair restoration results, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your degree of hair loss, scalp condition, and individual response to treatment. Maintenance sessions every 3-6 months help sustain results. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan with recommended session numbers based on your specific hair restoration goals.

A: Most clients experience mild to moderate discomfort during scalp microneedling, often described as a prickling or scratching sensation. We apply topical numbing cream before treatment to minimize discomfort. The scalp may feel sensitive for 24-48 hours after treatment, similar to mild sunburn. Any discomfort is typically well-tolerated and temporary compared to the long-term benefits of improved hair growth.

A: Initial results may be visible within 6-8 weeks as hair growth cycles begin to improve. More significant results typically appear after 3-4 months of consistent treatment, with optimal results seen after completing the full treatment series. Hair growth is a gradual process, and results continue to improve for several months after treatment completion. Individual results vary based on age, genetics, and severity of hair loss.

A: Yes, microneedling is often combined with other hair restoration treatments for enhanced results. Popular combinations include PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, growth factor serums, and topical hair growth medications. The micro-channels created by microneedling improve absorption of these complementary treatments. We’ll discuss the best combination approach for your specific hair restoration goals during your consultation.
