Elume Medspa, a Fairfax medical spa, recently released a blog discussing microneedling for hair loss. Losing hair is not ideal, however, there are newer and better ways to treat it now.

As you age, your hair may begin to thin out or diminish. Bald spots begin to occur and might cause you to feel unhappy. Since it's 2019, there are ways to reverse hair loss, however, traditional topical methods are beginning to lose its cache. Recently, microneedling has proven to be a very effective way to manage hair loss. It is also becoming more known because of how well it works for customers who try it.

During the treatment session, microneedling specialist will start by applying an anesthetic to prevent any discomfort a patient may feel. Then the specialist will use a handheld device with small needles ranging from 0.25 to 3 millimeters long on the area needing hair growth. As it is being applied to your skin, the needles in the microneedling pen will extend to the dermis (the middle layer of your skin), effectively creating small 'micro-injuries.' As the micro injuries heal, your skin will produce more collagen and fibers, while strengthening its hair follicles. The treatment session lasts about thirty minutes to an hour, after which your microneedling specialist will apply a soothing balm to calm the inflammation.
