Micro-needling for Hair Restoration
Micro-needling is at the forefront of hair restoration techniques, offering a natural and effective solution to hair loss. Micro-needling creates tiny punctures in the epidermal layer of the scalp that stimulate the skin’s natural healing process. This process increases blood flow to the area and stimulates growth factor and collagen production, this encourages hair growth and strengthens the hair follicle. Micro-needling is used in combination with PRP or hair growth serum to enhance your results.
Is professional micro-needling different from at-home derma rollers?
Yes. At-home derma rollers use shorter, less precise needles and can’t reach the consistent depth needed to trigger real follicle-level healing. Our in-clinic micro-needling uses medical-grade equipment operated by a scalp specialist or doctor, at a controlled depth calibrated to your scalp condition, which is why it’s paired with PRP or hair growth serum for real results — something a home device can’t safely replicate.
Is Micro-needling available at all your clinics?
Yes, Micro-needling is available at our Pretoria, Fourways, and Cape Town clinics.
How many sessions of Micro-needling will I need?
The number of treatments depends on the condition being treated, during your consultation the Scalp specialist or Doctor will advise on the optimal treatment plan. On average a person will need 4-8 session of Micro-needling to achieve hair restoration.
How often should I do Micro-needling?
It is recommended that your treatments are done at a 4–6-week interval for optimal results. Maintenance session is done at a 3–4-month interval.
Is Micro-needling painful?
You may experience minimal discomfort with your Micro-needling session. We can apply a topical anaesthetic cream to the area of concern before your Micro-needling session to reduce any discomfort.
How long does it take to see results after my Micro-needling session?
It typically takes 8-12 weeks to see an effect after your micro-needling session.
Is Micro-needling suitable for everyone with hair loss?
Micro-needling is suitable for most people with hair loss. The results are enhanced when combined with hair growth serums and PRP. The doctor or scalp specialist will discuss the ideal treatment plan using Micro-needling for your specific hair condition.
How long is the recovery time with Micro-needling?
Recovery time is minimal with Micro-needling. You can return to your normal activities the next day such as exercise or washing your hair. Some patients experience a mild sunburn sensation on the scalp for 1-3 days after their microneedling session.
Is Micro-needling safe for all hair types?
