If you’re looking in the mirror and wishing you had a little more “up top,” you aren’t alone. Androgenic alopecia, also known as male pattern (or female pattern) hair loss, is a common problem. Tens of millions of men and women watch as their hair thins in a predictable pattern as they get older, usually starting in their 30s. Happily, there is a way to counter this condition: microneedling with PRP at New Jersey’s Skin and Laser Center of NJ.
Long used to improve the look and feel of the skin, microneedling is known as a collagen-induction treatment. This is because it creates thousands of incredibly small punctures, each of which encourages collagen-producing fibroblasts to get working. Freshly made collagen closes up the tiny wounds, leaving no mark, and also helps the surrounding skin to thicken, feel smoother, and look clearer.
When used on the scalp, microneedling enhances blood flow vital for healthy functioning hair follicles, as well as improves overall follicle health and activity. In other words, follicles that have slowed hair production with age can be revived, prompting them to grow strong hairs again. More active follicles means a thicker-looking head of hair, because there’s simply more healthy hair growing overall.
Microneedling that opens channels into the scalp also provides another benefit: ready absorption of platelet-rich plasma. Also known as PRP, this powerful plasma more easily gets under the surface when it has plenty of openings. Once there, it can further work to revive ailing follicles and help hair to grow.
