Is microneedling a beneficial treatment for hair loss? Does it stimulate hair growth?
Answer: Microneedling May Help Promote Hair Growth In Androgenetic Alopecia Although, large randomized, double-blind control trials have not been yet performed assessing the value of medical microneedling in promoting hair growth in androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness), anectodal experience, including my own personal experience, does attest to its value. To be effective needle lengths need to be in the range of 1.5-2.0mm in order to reach down to the growth-associated regions of the follicles--a length not typically available in commercial home-use or even aesthetician-use devices (which typically range from 0.15-0.5mm in length). Although I have been underwhelmed with the value of adding PRP in general, I have personally found the concomitant application of growth promoting agents, such as topical minoxidil, finasteride, and bimatoprost to have proven helpful.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Microneedling Excellent question. When combined with PRP there are multiple well conducted clinical trials which show that microneedling can stimulate hair regrowth for androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness). Multiple treatments are required for best results and maintenance of results. For best results please see a board certified dermatologist who specializes in hair regrowth.

Answer: Can micro-needling a beneficial treatment for hair loss? Does it stimulate hair growth? Micro-needling with platelet poor plasma is currently used to stimulate hair growth along with Platelet Rich Plasma Injections(PRP) to the scalp. In my experience . Whether just using micro-needling will stimulate hair growth is unclear, but in conjunction with PRP injections it does help.

Answer: Microneedling for hair growth Thanks for asking. It’s thought that this can result in new hair growth, or perhaps, it may thicken thinning hair as seen in androgenic alopecia or male pattern baldness. it’s been studied as a potential alternative or adjunctive treatment for androgenic alopecia and alopecia areata. it’s thought that microneedling can also help induce stem cells in the hair follicles that may lead to hair growth.Microneedling may also promote the absorption of products used to treat your hair loss, such as:minoxidil (Rogaine)topical steroidplatelet rich plasma.
