Is microneedling a beneficial treatment for hair loss? Does it stimulate 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.Wish you all the best.
Thank you for your message! Several studies have shown that when combined with PRP, or platelet rich plasma, microneedling can help to stimulate hair growth. Multiple treatments are typically required, spaced about 6-8 weeks apart. A patient's blood is drawn, spun down, and the purified platelet rich plasma, or PRP, is worked into the area of hair loss to help stimulate it over time! I would recommend a consultation with a provider in your area for further assessment and to ensure you are a candidate for the procedure!
