Hair loss doesn’t just affect your appearance—it affects your confidence. For many, thinning hair or a receding hairline can feel frustrating and even emotional. Whether the cause is genetics, stress, hormonal changes, postpartum shifts, or seasonal shedding, most people just want to know one thing: what can I do about it?
At Aesthetic Center of Excellence, we offer a proven, non-surgical solution that supports the body’s natural healing process: SkinPen® microneedling to the scalp. Known for its ability to rejuvenate skin, this FDA-cleared device is now being used to help stimulate hair growth—naturally, safely, and effectively.
Understanding Hair Loss
There are several different types of hair loss, and it can impact both men and women of all ages. Some of the most common types include:
- Androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness)
- Telogen effluvium, often caused by stress, illness, or postpartum changes
- Alopecia areata, an autoimmune condition
- Hair loss related to scalp health, inflammation, or poor circulation
In many of these cases, hair follicles haven’t “died” but instead have become dormant. That means with the right stimulation and support, those follicles can be reactivated—and that’s exactly where SkinPen comes in.
What Is Scalp SkinPen Microneedling?
Microneedling is a treatment that uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. When used on the scalp, this process triggers the body’s natural healing response, leading to an increase in blood flow and the release of growth factors that can stimulate hair follicles.
SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device on the market, making it a safe and effective choice for this treatment. It’s most effective in areas of thinning hair (rather than completely bald spots) and is a fantastic option for patients who want a more natural approach to regrowth—without medication or surgery.
How Does It Work for Hair Growth?
When done on the scalp, it helps:
- Increase blood circulation and nutrient delivery to hair follicles
- Activate the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle
- Stimulate stem cells and collagen production
- Improve overall scalp health, reducing buildup and inflammation
This creates a healthier, more active environment where follicles can function better and begin to regrow stronger, thicker hair.
What to Expect from Treatment
Each SkinPen session typically takes 30–45 minutes, and we recommend a series of 3–6 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart for best results.
Most patients report little to no downtime—just some redness or scalp sensitivity for a day or two. New growth often becomes visible after several weeks, with full results becoming more noticeable around the three to six-month mark.
Who’s a Good Candidate?
Scalp microneedling is ideal for those with:
- Mild to moderate hair thinning
- Early stages of hair loss
- Postpartum shedding
- Telogen effluvium recovery
- Those looking for an alternative or complement to prescription hair loss solutions
It’s also safe for all skin tones and most hair types, making it a versatile solution for many patients.
Why Patients Love It
- Non-invasive with no long-term downtime
- Uses the body’s natural healing abilities
- Safe, FDA-cleared technology
- Can be combined with other treatments for even better results (like PRP or Ariessence—more on that in our next blog!)
