What is Microneedling Hair Restoration?

This is a treatment for baldness or thinning scalp hair. A Hair Growth Factor Solution, which is composed of stem cell- derived conditioned media, growth factors and cytokines, is applied to the affected scalp areas during microneedling or dermastamping. This stimulates hair follicles and results in hair growth.

Microneedling or dermastamping creates microchannels in the scalp for enhanced absorption of the Hair Growth Factor Solution.

This is done after application of an anesthetic cream to the scalp so that the procedure is comfortable.

Sessions are done weekly. This can be done alone or with combination with other hair restoration procedures.

This may be done on both male and female patients.

To know if microneedling hair restoration is right for you, schedule a consultation with me at Asian Hospital or at Derma 360.

Why 2 hours?

Some ingredients of sunscreens gradually get degraded by sunlight and heat so they become less effective.

Also, swimming, sweating, drying your skin with a towel, wiping off sweat, and skin contact with some surfaces will remove some of the applied sunscreen.
