Microneedling is a dermatological procedure that involves creating microscopic punctures in the skin using tiny, sterile needles. This process instigates the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen production and increasing the absorption of topical treatments. The repair process includes increasing blood flow and boosting the production of collagen, a protein that strengthens and improves the quality of your skin.
Microneedling on the scalp works in a similar way as it does on the face. The microchannels created on the scalp generate a rise in growth factors produced naturally by the skin, which causes an increase in hair production. Microneedling also exfoliates the surface of the scalp, resulting in a deep cleansing action that removes product build-up, which can suffocate the hair. The microneedling process also stimulates the scalp, which can help to trigger the growth of new hair and the strengthening of existing follicles.
