Scalp microneedling is an advanced collagen induction therapy for hair restoration. It involves the use of a specialized device that creates controlled micro-injuries on the scalp’s surface to trigger the body’s natural healing response.
This causes the release of powerful growth factors and increases vital blood flow to the hair follicles, supporting the reactivation of dormant follicles and promoting the production of healthy, more robust hair shafts.

Who is a Candidate for Scalp Microneedling?
This procedure is often ideal for individuals experiencing mild to moderate hair loss, particularly those with androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness) or general, age-related hair thinning. Candidates should be in good general health and have realistic expectations about the results. For patients with more extensive or severe hair loss, Dr. Wick may recommend hair transplant surgery, such as FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) or FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation).
During your consultation, Dr. Wick will assess your specific hair loss pattern and overall scalp health to determine if microneedling is the best treatment approach for you. Depending on your needs and goals, microneedling may be paired with complementary non-surgical hair restoration treatments like PRP or PRFM therapy, scalp Botox®, or nanofat transfer to maximize results.
Benefits of Microneedling for Hair Regrowth
- Stimulates hair follicles naturally – Leverages the body’s own healing mechanisms to support regrowth
- Non-surgical – No incisions and minimal downtime compared to surgical options
- Improves product absorption – Allows for enhanced absorption of hair growth serums, such as topical exosomes
- Suitable for most skin types – A safe option for nearly all skin and hair types
- Increased hair density – Awakens dormant follicles and promotes thicker strands

Recovery & Results
During Treatment
First, the treatment area is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure your comfort. Dr. Wick will then use a microneedling device to create tiny punctures across the targeted areas of the scalp. The entire process typically takes less than an hour.
After Treatment
Following your scalp microneedling treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, and tenderness, similar to a minor sunburn. These symptoms usually subside within 24 to 48 hours. Most patients can return to their normal daily activities almost immediately.
Visible hair regrowth and improvements in density often begin to appear after a few months. Dr. Wick usually recommends a series of sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, for optimal hair restoration results.
Downtime
Downtime is minimal, though you may experience redness and slight tenderness on the scalp for 24–48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. You can usually wash your hair the day after the procedure and return to most normal activities immediately.
Common Questions
What is the cost of microneedling for hair loss in Cleveland?
The total cost of your scalp microneedling treatment will depend on the extent of your hair loss, the number of sessions required, and whether you choose to combine microneedling with complementary treatments like PRP or nanofat transfer for maximum results. Cost details for your customized treatment plan will be provided during your consultation.
Can microneedling be combined with other non-surgical hair restoration treatments?
Absolutely. Dr. Wick takes a holistic approach to hair restoration, often pairing scalp microneedling with complementary procedures like PRP, PRFM, topical exosomes, or nanofat transfer. She also provides personalized guidance for at-home care, such as lifestyle adjustments and trusted haircare products.
How many microneedling sessions are needed to see hair regrowth?
While results vary per individual, Dr. Wick typically recommends an initial series of three to six treatment sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. This schedule is designed to stimulate follicles at all stages of the hair growth cycle. Patients often begin to notice improved hair texture and new growth after two to three months and the full effect of their treatment 6–12 months after completing their last session.
Is microneedling an effective hair restoration option for alopecia?
Microneedling can be a highly effective treatment for certain types of alopecia, including androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) and alopecia areata. It works by stimulating dormant follicles and increasing circulation. Dr. Wick will perform a thorough evaluation during your consultation to determine if microneedling is a suitable hair loss treatment for achieving your desired results.
