Microneedling for Hair Restoration

What Is Scalp Microneedling?

Microneedling uses fine needles to create tiny, controlled microchannels in the scalp. These micro-injuries are superficial by design, and they may prompt the body's natural healing response — supporting circulation and the local scalp environment.

Potential Benefits for Hair

  • Increased circulation to the scalp and hair follicles
  • Collagen stimulation in the scalp tissue
  • Improved scalp environment for healthier hair growth
  • Enhanced absorption of physician-recommended topical therapies

Microneedling and PRP Together

Microneedling is often combined with PRP hair restoration. The microchannels created during microneedling may help the growth factors in PRP reach the areas where they are needed, making the two treatments complementary within a comprehensive plan.

What to Expect

A topical anesthetic may be used for comfort. The treatment is typically well tolerated, and most patients return to normal activities shortly afterward with simple aftercare. As with all hair treatments, results develop gradually and vary from person to person.

Is Microneedling Right for You?

Microneedling is one tool within a broader, root-cause approach to hair restoration. Dr. Masghati will determine whether it is appropriate for you based on your evaluation and goals.
