You probably know all about microneedling in combination with minoxidil.
But did you know that you can do microneedle on its own, WITHOUT the hassle of the daily minoxidil?
One microneedling session a week, with no other intervention, can be sufficient to reverse hair loss.
And I’ll tell you right now: the results easily outperform minoxidil monotherapy.
We’ll be breaking down the latest research and tell you just how this is possible in today’s video.
You will not want to miss it.

Hello, welcome to today’s episode.
MICRONEEDLING FOR HAIR LOSS
So if there’s one innovation that’s taken the hair loss community by storm over the last decade, that’s microneedling.
Briefly, microneedling is when you create tiny punctures to the surface of the skin using a specialized device.
By far the most common of these devices is called a dermaroller…
…which is basically a rotating barrel attached to a handle.
On the surface of the barrel are hundreds of needles.
And as you glide the dermaroller over the scalp, the needles make thousands of tiny holes to the scalp.
Now these aren’t big enough to cause permanent damage.
But they are sufficient to stimulate endogenous growth factors, leading to skin rejuvenation.
These kinds of devices have been used since the late 1990s for various other skin problems, including scar tissue, vitiligo and many more.
But in 2012, we got the first reports of microneedling inducing hair regrowth in mice.
THE FIRST STUDY ON HUMANS
And the year after that we got the first study on humans, out of India:
www.ncbi.nlm.n...
The study randomly assigned a group of balding men to receive either minoxidil liquid 5% daily, or a combination treatment of minoxidil 5% plus microneedling.
For 6 days of the week, the men in the combination group applied daily topical minoxidil, just like the men in the other group.
But once a week, instead of their daily minoxidil, they had a microneedling session with a 1.5mm dermaroller.
Treatment lasted 4 months.
Here were the results.
The men in the minoxidil only group had an average increase of 22 new hairs per centimeter squared in the crown area.
This compared to 91 new hairs per centimeter squared in the combination group.
So just one microneedling session a week was enough to boost the minoxidil regrowth by 4.1 times.
And this difference in hair counts that emerged under magnification was also visible to the naked eye.
The before and after head photos of the men in this study were evaluated by a researcher who was blinded as to the treatment group.
In other words he didn’t know what treatment the man whose head he was looking at had received.
36% of the men in the minoxidil only group were evaluated as unchanged, and all the rest were rated as showing mild improvement.
But the combination group had very different results. Every single man in the combination group was rated as showing improvement: 20% were rated mild, 44% moderate, and 36% marked improvement.
Marked improvement is the best possible rating.
You can see in these photos….
…some examples of marked improvement from the microneedling group.
MICRONEEDLING WITHOUT MINOXIDIL?
Now since 2013 we have now had several other studies.
And they all agree that adding microneedling to a topical stimulant like minoxidil will dramatically increase your regrowth.
Around 3 times as much or even more.
