Microneedling
This procedure, sometimes referred to as skin needling or collagen induction therapy, is a treatment that punctures the skin with skinny needles. These minute contact areas stimulate the body’s wound-healing mechanism and skin cell renewal.
Microneedling stimulates the dermal papilla, or stem cells, in hair follicles to promote growth in the case of hair loss. The idea is that by creating microscopic wounds, the body’s defense mechanisms would encourage healing and, in turn, the growth of new hair, which will help stop hair loss. In addition to facilitating collagen production in the skin, micro-needling is used to assist stem cells in hair follicles, which may promote the creation of new hair.
The dermatologist will put a topical anesthetic on the scalp 45 minutes before starting therapy. This aids in easing any discomfort the person might be feeling. The dermatologist will then do micro-needling using a roller with needles.
Less than 1 mm to a few mm in length is the possible range for the needles. They are all contained in a single portable device. Pinprick injuries are caused when the tool, often a roller, is rolled along the treatment region.
