Does microneedling regrow hair?
Scalp microneedling can help stimulate hair growth by activating the scalp’s natural healing response. During the treatment, a medical microneedling device creates tiny, controlled micro-channels in the scalp. This process increases blood circulation, triggers collagen production, and can stimulate dormant hair follicles.
Is the treatment painful?
Both treatments involve minimal discomfort. For Scalp Micro Needling, we apply a topical numbing cream beforehand. With SMP, most clients describe the sensation as mild and tolerable.
How many sessions are needed?
Scalp Micro Needling typically requires 6-8 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart for optimal results. SMP usually requires 2-3 sessions spaced 7-10 days apart to achieve the desired density and color match.
Who is a good candidate for scalp microneedling?
During your consultation, we'll assess your specific situation and recommend the best approach for your needs. Many clients benefit from a combination of both treatments for optimal results.
How long do results last?
Scalp Micro Needling results vary based on individual response, but many clients experience improvements for 6-12 months before maintenance sessions are recommended. SMP results can last 4-6 years before requiring a touch-up.
Is there downtime after treatment?
Scalp Micro Needling may cause slight redness for 24-48 hours. SMP has minimal downtime, with possible mild redness for 1-2 days. Both allow you to return to most activities immediately.
