Microneedling For Hair Loss – New Insights! (Our Study)

My team and I just published a literature review on microneedling for hair loss. Right now, this study is one of the most up-to-date resources in the world on the topic. So, I wanted to make a video to share the findings with everyone – and explore if microneedling is a viable hair loss treatment.

First, we'll dive into the history of microneedling: what it is, how it works, and its evidence as a potential treatment for skin and hair disorders.

Then, we'll reveal our positions on popular questions, like:

-Does microneedling work?
-Can dermarolling (by itself) regrow hair?
-What are the best needling lengths?
-What's the best session frequency?
-Are automated pens better than microneedling rollers or stamps?
-How does microneedling stack up against platelet-rich plasma (PRP)?

I hope this video helps everyone looking to start microneedling or add in dermarollers / automated needling pens in hopes of improving their hair growth.
