Microneedling for Hair Loss

Microneedling for Hair Loss
What is Microneedling for Hair Loss?

Controlled micro-channels that wake the scalp and carry treatment deeper.

Scalp microneedling uses very fine sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels across the treated area. The body responds with its natural repair process, increasing local blood flow and releasing growth factors around the follicle. The same channels also allow topical and injected treatments to reach the depth at which they work, which is why microneedling is often paired with them.

At DROM, needle depth is set to the scalp rather than to a standard protocol. We assess hair density, shedding pattern and scalp condition first, then map the areas and depth for each session and review your response across the course.

What We Use

Sterile fine-needle scalp microneedling.

We use a medical-grade automated microneedling pen with single-use sterile cartridges and adjustable depth. For the scalp the depth is typically set between 0.6mm and 1.5mm, according to the area and your tolerance. Where indicated, the session is combined with platelet-rich plasma, mesotherapy or medical topical support, agreed in consultation.

Benefits

Why patients choose this

A simple, course-based way to improve the scalp’s response to treatment.

Stimulates the follicle

Controlled micro-injury prompts growth factor release around each follicle.

Improves absorption

Micro-channels carry topical and injected treatments to a useful depth.

Increases circulation

Local blood flow to the treated area improves during the growth phase.

Reduces shedding

Many patients notice less daily hair fall across the course.

Combines well

Works alongside PRP, mesotherapy and topical scalp care.

Minimal downtime

Mild redness and tenderness settle within a day.

Short sessions

Each session takes around 30 minutes, including scalp preparation.

Depth-led approach

Needle depth is calibrated to your scalp, never a fixed setting.

Process

How the treatment works

Six steps, from consultation to the start of your results.

Consultation

Hair density, shedding pattern and scalp condition are assessed in person.

Cleansing

The scalp is cleansed and the hair sectioned for clear access.

Numbing

A topical anaesthetic is applied where needed and left to take effect.

Treatment

The pen passes over the treated areas at the agreed depth, creating controlled micro-channels.

Application

Topical support, plasma or a mesotherapy blend is applied or injected while the channels are open.

Course and review

Sessions are repeated every three to four weeks, with progress reviewed throughout.

Expected Results

What the result looks like.

  • Reduced shedding within the first two to three months.
  • Improved scalp condition and hair texture over the course.
  • Some people notice less shedding after two to three months; results vary and are not guaranteed.
  • Often combined with PRP, mesotherapy or topical scalp care.
  • Best results follow a course of six to ten sessions, with maintenance thereafter.
Aftercare & Recovery

The first 48 hours.

  • Leave the hair unwashed for at least 24 hours after treatment.
  • Avoid the sauna, steam rooms, swimming and strenuous exercise for 48 hours.
  • Use only the products provided, with a gentle sulphate-free shampoo when you next wash.
  • Protect the scalp from direct sun and avoid hats that rub for the first day.
  • Mild redness, warmth or tenderness may appear briefly, and it settles within a day.
