The microneedling is a particularly popular treatment for hair loss, with proven effectiveness in promoting hair growth. The treatment can be performed both at home and in a medical setting, with certain differences in application method and efficacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although it was initially developed for facial skin rejuvenation, it subsequently became established as a primary treatment in hair restoration, owing to its ability to stimulate follicular regeneration and enhance the absorption of topical pharmaceutical agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Microneedling is a handheld device with a handle that terminates in a roller covered with very fine microneedles. When rolled over the skin or scalp, it creates micro-injuries that activate the body\u2019s natural self-healing process. Through this process, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, enhances blood circulation, and awakens the restoration mechanism of dormant hair follicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A general observation in clinical practice is that the efficacy of microneedling increases significantly when combined with topical therapeutic agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As reported by the International Journal of Trichology<\/a>, microneedling in combination with minoxidil<\/a> significantly increases hair count in men with androgenetic alopecia compared to minoxidil alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, the combination of microneedling with PRP with PRP yields excellent results in as few as four sessions, as reported by the Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The micro-injuries created by microneedling stimulate the production of growth factors and activate follicular stem cells, leading to greater hair density and regeneration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clinical studies indicate that consistent use of microneedling over several months improves hair texture and strengthens hair strands. Several patients notice an increase in hair shaft thickness prior to regrowth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although most scientific research focuses on scalp hair, several studies demonstrate that microneedling enhances beard growth. The mechanism of action is analogous to that on the scalp \u2014 microneedling increases blood circulation, stimulates follicular regeneration, and leads to denser and stronger beard hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Results in hair density following consistent microneedling use are visible after 2 to 4 months. However, individual results vary depending on factors such as the severity of hair loss, frequency and method of use, as well as proper post-treatment care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Patients who use microneedling in combination with topical treatments such as minoxidil exhibit hair regrowth within a shorter timeframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Microneedling operates through various biological mechanisms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The microneedling is indicated for individuals experiencing various types of hair loss, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is essential to consult a dermatologist before initiating treatment. microneedling may exacerbate various pre-existing medical conditions in the treatment area, including active scalp infections, chronic skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, active-phase rosacea, and a history of keloid scarring. Furthermore, it is contraindicated in patients with open wounds, diabetes mellitus, coagulation disorders or anticoagulant therapy, and autoimmune disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scalp or Beard Preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Performing the Procedure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Needle size determines the depth of penetration and efficacy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For hair regeneration at home, needles of 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm are recommended<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overuse may cause irritation; therefore, adherence to these guidelines is important. We recommend that the first treatment with microneedling be performed in a medical setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At our Clinic, we will recommend a medically certified microneedling device tailored to your specific case, along with usage instructions, to help you achieve optimal results and avoid potential complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although microneedling is generally a safe treatment, certain side effects may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n To avoid complications, always disinfect the microneedling device and follow post-treatment instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although at-home microneedling is widely practised, it carries serious risks if not performed correctly. Improper technique, excessive pressure, or lack of sterilisation can lead to infections, prolonged irritation, or even scarring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, excessively large needles used without medical guidance may damage the cutaneous barrier and cause trauma to the scalp. If you experience persistent erythema, pain, or infection, it is important to contact your physician immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your hair loss is severe, applying microneedling in a clinical setting will offer considerably more benefits, including faster hair recovery, safety, and superior outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are hesitant to try microneedling, there are other effective alternative treatments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Tricopat<\/a> is the most advanced regenerative hair loss treatment combining microneedling and iontophoresis. It is intended for women and men with mild forms of alopecia. It utilises natural growth factors and bioactive substances found in nature to activate and regenerate hair growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are experiencing hair loss and seeking an effective solution, our clinic offers personalised treatment plans tailored even to the most challenging cases.
