JAKARTA - Microneedling is a minimal invasive procedure using small and sterile needles, to make micropains on the skin, which stimulates the body's natural collagen and elastin products. This procedure is carried out for skin care, including the skin.

Quoted from Healthshots, on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, microneedling on the scalp uses fine needles such as dermarollers or derma pen to make minor injuries on the scalp. The wound stimulates the skin's natural condensation process.

This will help increase blood circulation to hair follicles, and trigger the release of growth factors. This procedure can encourage the growth of new hair and overcome the problem of loss and weight.

Direct blood to the area to repair it. This surge in circulation supplies fresh oxygen and essential nutrients directly to your hair follicles, which are essential for healthy growth, said aesthetic dermatologist in Mumbai, Dr. Akanksha Sanghvi.

The process of condensing fine needles in the scalp stimulates the production of collagen and protein that strengthens the skin tissue, as well as the hair structure. This process also releases various growth factors that can reactivate inactivate inactivated hair follicles.

Thus, there can be a boost for hair follicles to re-enter the growth phase. If combined with other therapies such as topical minoxydil or PRP (Plasma Kaya Trombocyt), it can increase absorption and effectiveness.

However, keep in mind that hair growth is a slow and gradual process. So, patience is very important to obtain maximum hair growth results with microneedling.

You may see a decrease in hair loss and the first signs of baby hair within 8 to 12 weeks of regular and proper use. For more significant growth it can take up to six months, he concluded.
