Microneedling for Hair Growth: Can Tiny Needles Make a Big Difference?
By Jessica
Let’s talk about microneedling—those little needles everyone is raving about. You’ve probably heard it’s great for glowing skin, but did you know it’s making waves in the world of hair growth too? Sounds wild, right? Let’s break it down!
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling uses teeny-tiny needles to create micro-injuries on the scalp. It might sound intense, but these little “injuries” kickstart your body’s natural healing process, which can wake up your hair follicles. The result? Thicker, healthier hair.
How Does It Help Hair Growth?
Here’s the magic:
1. Wakes Up Follicles: Microneedling stimulates dormant hair follicles to start growing again.
2. Boosts Collagen: Collagen isn’t just for your skin—it’s great for your scalp too, making it the perfect foundation for new hair.
3. Supercharges Topicals: Using a scalp serum? Microneedling creates channels that help products like minoxidil penetrate deeper and work better.
What Do the Studies Say?
Science to the rescue!
• A study found that pairing microneedling with minoxidil was way more effective than minoxidil alone. Think of microneedling as the secret sauce for your scalp serum! (Source)
• Another study reviewed microneedling for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and concluded that it improved hair growth for both men and women. (Source)
What Studies Say About Microneedling and Hair Growth
"The combination of microneedling and minoxidil was significantly more effective in promoting hair regrowth compared to minoxidil alone, demonstrating the potential of microneedling as an adjunct therapy for androgenetic alopecia.”

DIY or Pro Treatment?
You’ve got options!
• At-Home Devices: Great for beginners and those wanting a budget-friendly option. Stick to 0.25mm or 0.5mm needles for safety.
• Professional Microneedling: If you’re looking for faster or more dramatic results, a dermatologist or trichologist can go deeper and customize your treatment.
What to Watch Out For
It’s not all sunshine and hair flips. Here are some tips to keep it safe:
• Always clean your device to avoid infections.
• Start slow—once a week is usually plenty.
• Pair it with a quality serum designed for hair growth.
So, Does It Work?
The answer is: YES, but it’s not instant magic. You’ll need a little patience and consistency to see results. Think of microneedling as part of your long-term hair care routine.
