What it actually does.
Scalp microneedling creates microchannels in the scalp, then we apply topical growth factors that drive directly into the follicle layer. The combination stimulates dormant follicles, slows continued shedding, and supports thicker, healthier hair cycles. It works alongside (not in place of) other interventions like minoxidil or finasteride.
We offer two protocols. PRP uses your own platelet-rich plasma drawn and spun from your blood — the original evidence-backed approach. PDGF is a more concentrated, lab-derived growth factor that delivers a stronger single-factor dose without the blood draw.
Honest framing: hair restoration works best on early-to-moderate thinning where follicles are still present but underperforming. It won't regrow hair on long-bald areas. We're transparent about candidacy in your assessment — if you're not a candidate, we'll say so.
We treat both women and men. Women's pattern hair loss often responds especially well because it tends to be diffuse rather than focal.
What to expect.
Before
Wash hair within 24 hours of the appointment. Skip heavy product. If you're doing PRP, you'll do the blood draw at the start of the visit.
During
Topical numbing across the treatment areas, then we run the microneedling device across the scalp in measured passes. PRP or PDGF is applied immediately afterward and massaged in. Total visit 60–75 minutes.
After
Mild scalp tenderness 24–48 hours. Avoid washing for 24 hours; no heavy product, hot showers, or aggressive massage for 48 hours. Resume normal hair routine after.
