Your guide to microneedling for the treatment of alopecia hair loss
Are you curious about using microneedling for baldness or hair thinning? At Springs Aesthetics in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Dr. John R. Burroughs and his expert team offer cutting-edge alopecia hair fall treatments to restore confidence and promote natural hair growth.
To get you started, we have compiled some informative answers to common questions about microneedling for hair loss:
What is microneedling, and how does it aid in hair loss treatment?
Dr. John R. Burroughs describes Microneedling as a minimally invasive treatment where tiny, sterile needles create micro-injuries on the scalp. This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response and encourages the production of collagen and growth factors to revive dormant hair follicles. Simply put, it wakes up your scalp and gives it the boost that it needs to grow healthy, natural hair!
Is microneedling effective for all types of alopecia?
No, but microneedling is effective for several types of hair loss, including androgenic alopecia (pattern baldness) and certain forms of hair thinning. Should there be any questions, Dr. John R. Burroughs can be consulted to further assess your specific condition and recommend whether this treatment is the right fit for you.

Does the treatment hurt?
Not to worry! Most of our patients describe the sensation as mild and tolerable. Our team often uses a topical numbing cream to minimize any discomfort. And rest assured, the team at Springs Aesthetics goes above and beyond to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.
How many microneedling sessions will I require?
The number of sessions varies based on your individual needs and the severity of your hair loss. Typically, 3 – 6 sessions, spaced about 4 – 6 weeks apart, are recommended to achieve optimal results. Our team takes time to create a personalized treatment plan that is custom-tailored to your goals and specific hair loss situation.
Can I combine microneedling with other treatments for alopecia?
Absolutely! Microneedling often pairs well with other treatments, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, to enhance results. Combining therapies further stimulates hair growth, giving you the best possible outcome. Our team takes time to guide you on the best combination for your needs.
When will I start seeing results?
Patience is critical when it comes to seeing the results from these treatments. While some of our patients notice improvements within a few weeks, most see significant results after about 3 – 6 months as new hair growth becomes more apparent. Consistency and commitment to the treatment plan are important for success.
Is downtime required after microneedling for baldness?
There is actually little to no downtime after microneedling. Some of our patients might experience minor redness or sensitivity on the scalp for a day or two, but most of our patients resume their normal activities right away.
