What is Skin Needling for Hair Loss?
Skin needling (microneedling) is a proven treatment that stimulates hair follicles by creating controlled micro-channels in the scalp. These micro-injuries activate your body’s natural repair response, increasing:
-
Blood flow to the follicle
-
Growth factors
-
Stem-cell signalling pathways
-
Collagen around the follicular stem cell region
-
Absorption of topical hair-growth serums
The end result?
Healthier, fuller, stronger hair growth over time.
This treatment is ideal for clients experiencing thinning, widening part lines, early receding, postpartum shedding, or weakened hair density.
How Skin Needling For Hair Loss Works
Microneedling (also called collagen-induction therapy) creates tiny micro-channels in the scalp which trigger a controlled healing response. This leads to:
-
Increased circulation and blood supply to hair follicles
-
Activation of growth factors and stem cell signals (Wnt3a/Wnt10b) in the follicle region.
-
Enhanced absorption of topical hair-growth serums such as Tru Dermal Regain
-
Stimulation of existing follicles to shift from miniaturised (thin) hairs back to healthier, thicker hairs.
In short:
Scalp needling + professional device + correct home-care = a more powerful hair restoration outcome than topical treatments alone.
Expected Results & Time line for Skin Needling for Hair loss
Here’s what typical clients see:
-
After 1 session: Slight improvement in scalp feel, enhanced serum absorption, maybe reduced shedding.
-
After 2–3 sessions: Visible improvement in thickness/volume, part lines may narrow, fine hairs begin to appear.
-
After 4–6 sessions: Noticeable increase in hair density, improved scalp health, many clients report fuller look.
-
After 6+ sessions: Significant change in hair appearance, better longevity of new growth, fewer “thin” patches.
Research shows microneedling + topical treatments yield better results than either alone.
Realistic expectation: 8–12 sessions, plus ongoing maintenance (once every 6–12 months) for long-term results.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Micro Needling For Hair Loss
What Can I Expect During the Hair Micro Needling Treatment
During your consultation, our expert dermal therapists will assess your scalp and hair condition to determine the best course of action. The Derma Pen 4 is applied to the areas experiencing thinning or hair loss. A nutrient-rich oil is also gently massaged into the scalp, delivering essential hydration and supporting healthy hair regrowth. You may feel slight discomfort, similar to a tingling sensation, but it is generally well tolerated. The treatment lasts approximately 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
What Are The Benefits Of Skin Needling for Hair Loss
- Stimulates Natural Hair Regrowth: By promoting blood circulation and nutrient absorption, skin needling can help restore natural hair growth in thinning areas.
- Non-Invasive and Safe: The treatment is minimally invasive and has little to no downtime, making it a safe and effective option for individuals seeking to combat hair loss.
- Improves Scalp Health: The micro-injuries created by the Derma Pen 4 promote healing, which strengthens the scalp’s foundation for hair growth.
- Boosts Effectiveness of Topical Treatments: When combined with a nutrient-rich botanical oil, skin needling enhances the absorption of the oil’s essential nutrients, ensuring optimal hydration and scalp nourishment for improved hair health.
What Aftercare Is Involved For Micro Needling Treatment
Following the treatment, some redness and mild swelling may occur, which typically subsides within a few hours to a day. It’s essential to follow your therapist’s aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results, which may include:
- Avoiding direct sun exposure for a few days.
- Using a mild, sulfate-free shampoo.
• Applying the recommended hair growth serums and the lightweight botanical oil to enhance the effects of the treatment.
Who Is Suitable For This Treatment
Skin needling for hair loss is suitable for individuals experiencing early-stage hair thinning, mild hair loss, or those seeking to maintain the health of their scalp and hair. It is ideal for both men and women, and the treatment can be tailored to different types of hair loss concerns.
How Long Does It Take To See Results?
The number of treatments required depends on the severity of your hair loss and individual response to the treatment. Typically, we recommend a course of 4-6 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Results are often noticeable after a few sessions, with more substantial improvements over time.
