Microneedling head treatments are quickly becoming a popular choice for those looking to boost hair health and tackle hair loss. This approach involves creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the scalp that stimulate the body's natural healing process, supporting hair growth by increasing blood flow and enhancing nutrient absorption.
Microneedling has shown promising results for specific types of hair thinning, and with Qure Skincare's at-home Micro Infusion device, these benefits are now within easy reach for anyone looking to try this technique safely from the comfort of their home.
In this article, we'll explore what microneedling is, how it may work for hair loss, and why doing it at home with the right device could be the perfect addition to your hair care routine.
What this article covers:
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that creates tiny, controlled injuries on the skin using very fine needles. With in-clinic microneedling, these micro-injuries prompt the skin's natural healing process, increasing blood flow and collagen production, which are essential for healthy skin—and hair!
Thanks to this process, microneedling offers a ton of benefits, from microneedling for under eye bags to microneedling for stretch marks and microneedling for acne scars.
From our experience, Qure Skincare's Micro Infusion device has been optimized to make this technique easy and effective at home. It features 24K gold-plated, clinical-grade needles combined with a specially formulated serum to deliver targeted nutrients right where they're needed.
Does Microneedling Work For Hair Loss?
Yes, microneedling can help with certain types of hair loss, especially androgenetic alopecia (also known as male or female pattern baldness). According to research, microneedling stimulates growth factors and stem cells in the scalp, which are known to encourage hair regrowth.
When paired with topical treatments, microneedling has been shown to increase the absorption of these products, further enhancing their effectiveness.
How Does Microneedling For Hair Loss Work?
Microneedling for hair loss works by creating tiny punctures in the scalp, which trigger a wound-healing response that's beneficial for hair growth.
These micro-injuries increase blood flow, allowing essential nutrients to reach the hair follicles. In-clinic microneedling treatments can also stimulate stem cells and release growth factors that help with hair regeneration. Our product works similarly.
Can You Do Microneedling For Hair Loss At Home?
Yes, you can! While microneedling can be done in a dermatologist's office, at-home devices like our Qure Micro Infusion make it possible to enjoy these benefits from the comfort of your own home.
However, it's crucial to follow proper technique and aftercare to ensure safe and effective results from microneedling. Using our device, which is specifically designed for scalp use, offers a safe alternative to professional treatments.
How to Do Microneedling for Hair Loss at Home
Ready to give microneedling at home a go? Using the Qure Micro Infusion device is a straightforward process that lets you reap the benefits of microneedling without the hassle of scheduling appointments. Just follow these easy steps to get the most out of your at-home treatment:
Step 1: Clean Your Scalp
For the best results, start with a fresh, clean scalp. Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo to thoroughly cleanse, removing any buildup of dirt, oils, or styling products that could block the tiny channels created by the device.
A sulfate-free shampoo is gentler on your scalp and hair, especially important if you're microneedling regularly. After shampooing, pat your scalp and hair dry with a clean towel. Avoid rubbing, as your scalp needs to stay calm and undisturbed before the treatment.
Step 2: Section Your Hair
Now, let's prepare for precise application. If your hair is longer, it helps to section it off to ensure even coverage.
Use a comb or clips to divide your hair into small sections, exposing the scalp in the areas you want to target. In our experience, by separating your hair, you'll have better control over the application, making sure the Qure Micro Infusion device reaches each area effectively.
Step 3: Apply Qure Skincare's Micro Infusion Device
Take the Qure Micro Infusion device and gently press it down onto your scalp, targeting one section at a time. Our device is designed to stamp a custom blend of beneficial ingredients directly onto your scalp, allowing for maximum absorption as the tiny needles create micro-channels in your skin.
Avoid pressing too hard—light to moderate pressure is all you need. Work your way across each section, focusing on areas where you want to encourage growth. The device should glide smoothly without causing discomfort.
Microneedling Head Aftercare
After microneedling, your scalp needs a little extra care to heal properly and achieve the best results. These aftercare steps are simple but essential for maximizing benefits and keeping your scalp comfortable and healthy. Here's what you need to know:
Avoid Sun Exposure
Microneedling leaves your scalp slightly vulnerable to environmental factors, especially the sun. Direct sun exposure can cause irritation, redness, and even worsen any sensitivity. If you're stepping outside, it's wise to wear a hat to physically shield your scalp from UV rays.
Additionally, applying a non-comedogenic SPF to your scalp can help protect it from potential sun damage. Choose a lightweight, non-oily sunscreen to avoid clogging those freshly opened micro-channels and keep your scalp feeling fresh and protected.
Hold Off On Topical Products
One of the perks of microneedling is that it opens up tiny channels in the skin, boosting the absorption of products. However, it's best to give your scalp a 24-48 hour breather from any additional products, particularly harsh ones.
Avoid hair serums, styling gels, and medicated treatments right after microneedling to prevent irritation or unwanted side effects. After a day or two, you can resume your normal routine, ideally starting with gentle, nourishing products that are scalp-friendly.
Avoid Sweating And Water Exposure
To reduce the risk of infection and irritation, it's best to avoid activities that cause excessive sweating, like high-intensity workouts, hot yoga, or using saunas, for at least 24 hours after treatment. Sweat and heat can aggravate the micro-injuries and prolong the healing process.
Similarly, avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, and other communal water areas for at least a day. Chlorine, salt water, and bacteria found in these environments can easily penetrate the micro-channels in your scalp, leading to discomfort or even infection.
Stay Hydrated
Keeping your body well-hydrated is key to supporting skin healing, including your scalp. Drinking plenty of water helps promote cell regeneration, making it easier for your scalp to recover post-treatment.
Proper hydration can also help reduce any lingering redness or inflammation after microneedling. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water per day to support this process.
Be Gentle With Your Scalp
In the days following microneedling, treat your scalp with extra care. When it's time to wash your hair, opt for a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo that won't strip the natural oils or irritate your scalp.
Use lukewarm water and avoid scrubbing vigorously—just a light massage to cleanse without disturbing the healing process. When drying your hair, pat it gently with a towel rather than rubbing. If you use styling products, go light on the quantity and try to avoid anything too heavy or harsh.
Sleep On A Clean Pillowcase
Your scalp is particularly sensitive to bacteria after microneedling, so it's essential to keep your sleeping environment clean. Changing your pillowcase the night after treatment can help prevent any bacteria or oils from transferring to your scalp while you sleep.
Opt for a fresh, clean pillowcase, ideally one made from a gentle fabric like cotton or silk, to minimize friction and keep your scalp as comfortable as possible while it recovers.
Conclusion
Microneedling head treatments offer a promising way to support hair growth, boost scalp health, and potentially combat hair thinning from home. By creating tiny, controlled micro-channels in the scalp, microneedling encourages blood flow and nutrient absorption, which are vital for stronger, healthier hair.
With the right tools—like Qure Skincare's at-home Micro Infusion device—you can safely experience the benefits of microneedling without stepping outside. With proper technique and mindful aftercare, this simple, convenient routine may be just what your scalp needs to thrive.
