Microneedling for Hair Regrowth

Microneedling is a scientifically supported and proven technique for hair regrowth, especially when used in combination with other treatments like Minoxidil or Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). Microneedling stimulates healing, increasing production of growth factors and collagen, which play a major role in reactivating the hair follicles.

Facts about Microneedling for Hair Regrowth

Microneedling is a safe, minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the surface of the scalp. These tiny injuries activate the body’s natural healing response, which stimulates hair follicles, improves blood circulation, and boosts the production of growth factors essential for hair regrowth.

At Kibo, we use advanced motorized devices (dermapen) and in some cases, dermarollers, with precise depth control to target hair loss areas accurately. The treatment also enhances the absorption of serums like minoxidil, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), and peptides—making them work more effectively.

Microneedling has shown proven results in early to moderate stages of hair thinning, particularly androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss), and is widely supported by clinical studies and dermatology journals.
