Scalp microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses very fine needles to create tiny, controlled puncture wounds (known as micro-injuries) on the scalp. This process is designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing response, increase blood flow, and trigger the release of natural growth factors to promote hair growth. While needles and micro-injuries may sound intense, it’s actually one of the more gentle hair restoration treatment options.
Microneedling also enhances the absorption of topical treatments, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or exosome therapy, to make them even more effective. This makes it an excellent add-on treatment for patients looking to maximize their hair restoration results. Tampa Bay Hair Restoration offers scalp microneedling in combination with other hair loss treatments in Tampa Bay, Florida. See how this non-surgical solution can revitalize your scalp and awaken dormant follicles.
Scalp microneedling is a low-risk, non-surgical way to improve hair growth. Patients choose microneedling for the following reasons:
At Tampa Bay Hair Restoration, your comfort and safety are our top priorities. During your consultation, we’ll assess your scalp health and discuss your hair loss goals to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. The scalp microneedling procedure itself is a straightforward and comfortable process that usually takes less than an hour. A topical anesthetic can also be applied to minimize any sensation, so most clients report feeling only a light pressure or a slight prickling feeling.
Once the area is prepared, we use a medical-grade microneedling device on targeted sections of the scalp to create thousands of tiny micro-channels in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response while also making the scalp more receptive to growth-enhancing treatments. For patients seeking even greater results, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), exosomes, or specialized serums can be applied immediately after microneedling to penetrate more deeply and accelerate follicle repair. Most patients are able to return to normal activities right away, with little to no downtime.
While at-home dermarollers are widely available, they are not the same as professional scalp microneedling performed in a medical setting. Over-the-counter devices typically use shorter, less precise needles that cannot penetrate deeply enough to effectively stimulate hair growth. They are more commonly used for small cosmetic benefits, such as exfoliation or enhancing the absorption of products. Improper use at home may also increase the risk of infection, scarring, or damage to the scalp.
At Tampa Bay Hair Restoration, our physician uses advanced, medical-grade microneedling devices designed specifically for the scalp. These devices allow for controlled depth, uniform treatment, and safe application across thinning areas. Professional microneedling is also often combined with other regenerative treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or exosome therapy, significantly enhancing results. Choosing an experienced hair restoration provider for scalp microneedling ensures that your scalp is treated correctly and that you see the best possible outcome.
Scalp microneedling is a fantastic option for individuals experiencing androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness) and alopecia areata. It’s a great choice for those who want a non-surgical alternative or a complementary treatment to boost the effectiveness of their current hair loss regimen.
