Hair Regrowth Treatments
Microneedling combined with Matrixyl 3000 is an emerging treatment option for stimulating hair growth.
We use microneedling to create controlled micro-injuries on the scalp or eyebrows. This triggers the body's natural wound healing response including:
-
Increased Blood Flow: The micro-injuries stimulate blood circulation to the scalp, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles.
-
Growth Factor Release: The body's healing response releases growth factors and cytokines, which can promote hair growth by enhancing the environment for hair follicles.
-
Collagen Production: Microneedling increases collagen production in the scalp, which can help strengthen the skin and hair follicles, creating a healthier environment for hair growth.
​
Matrixyl 3000 is a synthetic peptide thats mimic the skin’s natural regeneration processes. It is known for its anti-aging properties, particularly in stimulating collagen production and repairing the skin.
In the context of hair growth, Matrixyl 3000 can:
-
Stimulates collagen and elastin, which support the structure and health of hair follicles.
-
Reduces inflammation, which can often be a factor in hair loss and poor scalp health.
-
Improve cell communication and signaling pathways that are essential for hair follicle health and growth.
​
Microneedling is typically performed once every few weeks to once a month, depending on individual needs and response.
Matrixyl 3000 can be applied immediately after microneedling to take advantage of the micro-channels and enhance its absorption and effectiveness.
Consistent use over several months is usually necessary to see significant hair growth results. Most users report seeing improvements after 3-6 months of regular treatments.
​
Microneedling combined with Matrixyl 3000 can be an effective treatment for stimulating hair growth. Microneedling enhances the delivery and effectiveness of Matrixyl 3000, which, in turn, promotes collagen production, reduces inflammation, and supports the overall health of hair follicles.

1. Genetics
-
Hereditary Pattern Baldness: The most common cause of hair loss is androgenetic alopecia, which is inherited and affects both men (male pattern baldness) and women (female pattern baldness).
2. Hormonal Changes
-
Menopause: Hormonal changes during menopause can lead to hair thinning or loss in women due to decreased levels of estrogen and progesterone.
-
Androgens: Increased levels of male hormones, such as dihydrotestosterone (DHT), can shrink hair follicles and cause hair loss.
3. Medical Conditions
-
Thyroid Disorders: Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can disrupt the hair growth cycle and cause hair loss.
-
Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions like alopecia areata, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis can cause the immune system to attack hair follicles.
4. Medications
-
Chemotherapy: Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy can cause significant hair loss.
-
Other Medications: Drugs for high blood pressure, heart disease, arthritis, and depression can also lead to hair loss as a side effect.
5. Nutritional Deficiencies
-
Iron Deficiency: Lack of sufficient iron can lead to anemia, which has been linked to hair loss.
-
Vitamins and Minerals: Deficiencies in essential nutrients like vitamin D, B vitamins, zinc, and protein can impact hair health and lead to hair loss.
6. Physical and Emotional Stress
-
Telogen Effluvium: Severe physical or emotional stress can trigger this condition, causing a large number of hair follicles to enter the resting phase and shed excessively.
-
Chronic Stress: Long-term stress can affect hormone levels and overall health, contributing to hair loss.
7. Hair Care Practices
-
Harsh Treatments: Frequent use of chemical treatments like coloring, perming, and relaxing can damage hair and cause it to fall out.
-
Heat Styling: Regular use of heat styling tools such as blow dryers, flat irons, and curling irons can weaken hair shafts and lead to breakage and loss.
-
Tight Hairstyles: Hairstyles that pull tightly on the hair, like ponytails, braids, and buns, can cause traction alopecia.
8. Scalp Conditions
-
Dandruff and Seborrheic Dermatitis: Scalp conditions like dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis can damage hair follicles and cause hair loss.
-
Fungal Infections: Scalp ringworm and other fungal infections can lead to hair loss.
9. Aging
-
Natural Aging Process: As we age, the hair growth cycle shortens, hair follicles shrink, and hair becomes thinner, leading to a decrease in hair density.
10. Environmental Factors
-
Pollution: Exposure to environmental pollutants can damage the scalp and hair, leading to hair loss.
-
UV Radiation: Prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays can weaken hair shafts and contribute to hair thinning and loss.
