Micro-needling: An Overview
Micro-needling for the scalp involves tiny needles causing micro-injuries, stimulating natural healing and rejuvenation, potentially aiding hair growth and scalp health.
The Science Behind It
The process triggers collagen production and activates stem cells in hair follicles. It's believed to enhance blood flow, which could improve nutrient delivery to support hair growth.
Procedure and Equipment
Performed using a dermaroller or motorized pen, the procedure varies from 0.5 to 2.5mm penetration depth, targeting different layers of the scalp for optimal results.
Combating Hair Loss
Micro-needling is gaining popularity as an adjunct to hair loss treatments, showing promising synergy with topical applications like minoxidil for improved absorption.
Post-Treatment Care
After a session, the scalp requires care—avoiding harsh chemicals and sunlight. Hydration and gentle hair care routines are crucial for healing.
Clinical Evidence
Studies suggest micro-needling's efficacy in alopecia treatment, with subjects showing significant hair regrowth compared to traditional methods alone.
Safety and Risks
While generally safe, the procedure carries risks such as infection if not performed in a sterile environment or if aftercare is neglected.
