Treatment Focus

Hair restoration: ALLSKIN MED Hair
combined with microneedling

Introduction

Hair thinning can feel frustrating, confidence-knocking and often confusing. With so many products promising regrowth, it can be hard to know what actually works. One of the most evidence-based and regenerative treatment combinations available in clinic today is ALLSKIN MED Hair alongside microneedling — a thoughtful duo designed to stimulate, nourish and reactivate dormant hair follicles.

At SkinLab Aesthetics and Skin Rejuvenation, we focus on treatments that are medically led, clinically supported and results driven. Here is everything you need to know.

What is ALLSKIN MED Hair?

ALLSKIN MED Hair is a professional trichology system designed to support scalp health and stimulate hair growth. It combines advanced growth factors, peptides, vitamins and regenerative ingredients to:

  • Stimulate dormant follicles
  • Improve scalp circulation
  • Strengthen existing hair shafts
  • Reduce shedding
  • Improve hair density and thickness

Unlike over-the-counter serums, this is a clinical-strength formulation designed to be delivered into the scalp for maximum absorption.

What is microneedling for hair loss?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the scalp using fine medical-grade needles. This process:

  1. 1. Stimulates collagen and growth factor release

    Microneedling triggers a controlled healing response in the scalp.

  2. 2. Increases blood flow to the scalp

    Improved circulation supports follicular health and nutrient delivery.

  3. 3. Activates stem cells in the hair bulge area

    These cells are key to initiating and supporting new hair growth.

  4. 4. Enhances absorption of topical growth serums

    The microchannels allow ALLSKIN MED Hair to penetrate more effectively.

When used together, microneedling acts as both a stimulator and a delivery system, supporting improved results compared to topical application alone.

How do they work together?

Think of microneedling as preparing the soil, and ALLSKIN MED Hair as delivering the nutrients. The microchannels allow the active ingredients to penetrate directly into the follicular environment, where they can:

  • Extend the anagen (growth) phase
  • Reduce miniaturisation
  • Strengthen weakened follicles
  • Improve overall scalp health

This combination approach supports hair restoration at multiple levels: circulation, cellular regeneration and nutrient support.

What conditions can it help?

This treatment is suitable for both men and women experiencing:

  • Early-stage androgenetic alopecia
  • Postpartum hair thinning
  • Stress-related shedding (telogen effluvium)
  • Perimenopausal and menopausal hair thinning
  • Generalised hair density reduction, or even loss of hair in other areas such as the beard

Early intervention generally delivers the best results. Your practitioner will advise on suitability at your consultation.

What to expect during treatment

Your appointment begins with a detailed scalp and hair consultation. We assess:

  • Pattern of hair loss
  • Medical history
  • Hormonal factors
  • Lifestyle contributors

The treatment itself:

  • The scalp is cleansed thoroughly
  • Microneedling is performed across affected areas
  • ALLSKIN MED Hair serum is applied and infused
  • Mild redness may occur for 24 to 48 hours

Most patients describe the procedure as very tolerable.

How many sessions are needed?

Hair restoration requires consistency. We typically recommend:

  • A course of 4 sessions
  • 4 weeks apart
  • Maintenance sessions every 3 months

Visible improvements usually begin around 8 to 12 weeks, though they may not be visible at this point. Optimal density improvements are typically seen at 4 to 6 months.

Individual results vary — your practitioner will assess and advise on the schedule that is right for you.

Is there evidence for microneedling in hair loss?

Yes. Clinical studies show that microneedling can support improvements in hair count and thickness, particularly when combined with growth-stimulating topicals. It supports growth factor release and activation of follicular stem cells, making it a regenerative treatment rather than a cosmetic cover-up.

Who is not suitable?

This treatment may not be appropriate if you:

  • Have active scalp infections
  • Have uncontrolled autoimmune conditions
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have advanced scarring alopecia

A full consultation is essential.

Why treat the scalp like skin?

The scalp is skin, and just like facial skin, it requires:

  • Circulation
  • Nutrients
  • Cellular stimulation
  • Barrier support

Ignoring scalp health is one of the biggest reasons hair treatments fail.

The SkinLab approach

As a medically led clinic, we don't just offer hair treatments — we investigate underlying causes, including hormonal shifts, nutritional status, stress levels and inflammatory scalp conditions, and can advise on what to do.

Hair restoration is rarely one-dimensional. Microneedling plus ALLSKIN MED Hair forms part of a wider regenerative strategy that may also include:

  • Medical-grade homecare
  • Nutritional supplementation and/or medication review
  • Hormonal review (where appropriate)
  • Lifestyle optimisation

Final thoughts

Hair loss doesn't have to be accepted as inevitable. When treated early and strategically, meaningful improvements in density, thickness and confidence are often achievable.
