Skin Needling with Electroporation for Hair Growth
Hair thinning and hair loss are common concerns that affect confidence and overall wellbeing. At our clinic, we offer innovative, science-backed solutions to stimulate hair regrowth and restore scalp health. One of the most effective non-surgical treatments available today is the combination of skin needling with electroporation — a dual approach designed to rejuvenate the scalp, reactivate dormant hair follicles, and enhance the penetration of active growth factors.
Understanding Skin Needling for the Scalp
Skin needling (microneedling) uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the scalp. This process triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response, which includes:
Stimulation of growth factors in the scalp
Increased collagen and elastin production around hair follicles
Improved blood flow and nutrient delivery to the hair roots
On its own, skin needling helps awaken inactive follicles, creating an environment more conducive to healthy hair growth.
What Is Electroporation?
Electroporation is an advanced, non-invasive technology that uses electrical pulses to temporarily increase cell membrane permeability. This process creates channels that allow topical solutions—such as peptides, vitamins, and growth factors—to penetrate more effectively into the scalp tissue.
By combining electroporation with microneedling, we significantly enhance the absorption and efficacy of active ingredients applied during treatment.
Why Combine Skin Needling with Electroporation for Hair Growth?
When these two technologies are paired, the results are maximised:
1. Enhanced Absorption of Growth Factors
Microneedling creates micro-channels, while electroporation further increases cell permeability, ensuring that serums rich in peptides, stem cell extracts, or platelet-derived growth factors penetrate deeply into the scalp.
2. Stimulation of Follicle Activity
The controlled micro-injuries from needling, combined with bioactive ingredients delivered via electroporation, help reactivate dormant follicles and extend the hair growth phase (anagen phase).
3. Improved Scalp Health
This treatment reduces scalp inflammation, improves circulation, and strengthens the surrounding tissue, all of which support stronger, thicker hair growth.
4. Non-Surgical, Minimal Downtime
Unlike surgical hair restoration, this approach is minimally invasive, comfortable, and requires little to no downtime.
What to Expect During Treatment
Step 1: Scalp Preparation – The scalp is cleansed and prepared for treatment.
Step 2: Microneedling – Ultra-fine needles create micro-channels in the scalp.
Step 3: Electroporation with Active Serums – A customised serum is applied, and electroporation delivers these nutrients deep into the scalp.
Step 4: Post-Care – Patients may experience mild redness, which typically resolves within 24–48 hours.
Results & Benefits
Thicker, stronger, and healthier-looking hair
Improved scalp condition
Reduction in hair shedding
Reactivation of dormant follicles
Results develop gradually as hair cycles progress, with noticeable improvements typically visible after several sessions.
Who Is This Treatment For?
This treatment is ideal for individuals experiencing:
Early to moderate hair thinning
Diffuse hair loss
Weak or miniaturised hair strands
A desire to enhance results of other hair therapies (such as PRP or topical treatments)
The Future of Hair Restoration
Skin needling with electroporation represents a cutting-edge, regenerative approach to hair loss. By combining two scientifically proven methods, we can deliver active ingredients directly where they are needed most — to the hair follicle.
This treatment offers an effective, non-surgical solution for people seeking to restore confidence and support natural hair growth.
