Microneedling For Hair Loss

How Does Topsaint Microneedling Dermapen Act on Hair?

Hair growth is dependent on genes that trigger the development of new hair cells. This development occurs within the hair follicles covering the scalp and the rest of the body. Hair cell production is initiated by a number of chemicals, chief among which is the human growth factor (HGF) – a protein or steroid hormone – capable of stimulating cellular growth.

In the microneedling process, a microneedle pen – which looks like a pen with tiny needles in the end – the mechanical action of the pen allows the needles to puncture the scalp to cause minor surface wounds. The body then starts working to produce new skin, releasing chemicals and HGF in the process, which in turn stimulates hair regrowth thus covering up thin/bald areas.

Some of the latest research has shown that microneedling improves the efficiency of topical medications used on the scalp, like minoxidil for the treatment of androgenic alopecia and triamcinolone for the treatment of alopecia areata. As well as creating impressive results as a standalone treatment.

The way microneedling works when used as a combination therapy is by creating micro channels in the scalp, which improves absorption of topical treatments.

When the medication is applied following microneedling, it makes its way down the micro channels, caused by the small punctures in the skin. The micro channels prevent the medication being blocked by the top layer of the skin and support it on its journey to the level where the hair follicles exists. This intensifies the results of the medication, creating greater results, often quicker!
