Hair thinning can feel frustrating, emotional, and even confusing, especially when you’re trying to figure out what actually works. From postpartum shedding and stress-related thinning to early-stage pattern hair loss, many men and women are searching for non-invasive, science-backed treatments that deliver real, visible results.
One of today’s most promising solutions is microneedling, a treatment widely known for transforming skin — but now equally celebrated for its role in stimulating fuller, stronger hair growth.
At Lovoir Day Spa, we proudly offer microneedling Christchurch wide, using Dermapen 4 technology and advanced regenerative serums like EXO-GROW, our premium exosome hair rejuvenation treatment. So the big question remains:
Microneedling for hair growth — does it really help?
Let’s explore what the research (and our Christchurch clients!) are experiencing.
What Exactly Is Microneedling and How Does It Work?
Microneedling uses ultra-fine, rapidly oscillating needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin. These micro-injuries activate the body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen production, circulation, and cell turnover.
On the scalp, this becomes especially powerful.
How microneedling supports hair growth:
- Increases blood flow around weakened or dormant follicles
- Enhances the absorption of growth factors, peptides, and exosomes
- Encourages collagen around the follicle root for stronger anchoring
- Stimulates stem cells in the hair bulge region (a specific part of the hair follicle – particularly the outer root sheath – containing epithelial stem cells, which are crucial for hair growth and regeneration)
- Reduces inflammation that contributes to thinning
At Lovoir, we use Dermapen 4, the world’s most advanced microneedling technology, known for its precision, speed, and safety.
The result? A treatment that works with your body to rejuvenate thinning hair naturally.
Is There Scientific Evidence That Microneedling Helps Hair Growth?
Yes! In fact, microneedling is one of the most researched non-invasive treatments for hair restoration.
Dermatology studies have found that microneedling can:
✔ Increase hair count and density
✔ Improve hair shaft thickness
✔ Enhance the results of topical treatments such as Minoxidil
✔ Reactivate dormant follicles
✔ Deliver significantly better outcomes than topical treatment alone
One well-known clinical trial showed that patients using microneedling plus Minoxidil achieved dramatically better results than those using Minoxidil alone — confirming that microneedling enhances the scalp’s ability to absorb hair-regrowth ingredients.
The scientific consensus is clear:
Microneedling activates the scalp’s natural regenerative pathways in ways that topical treatments cannot achieve alone.
Benefits of Microneedling for Hair Growth
Microneedling is effective because it solves many of the underlying causes of thinning hair.
The key benefits include:
✔ Boosts circulation: brings oxygen and nutrients to follicles
✔ Reduces inflammation: a major contributor to hair loss conditions
✔ Improves product absorption: allowing serums or exosomes to work better
✔ Strengthens follicle structures: supporting healthier hair cycles
✔ Encourages natural hair regrowth: without medications or surgery
And when delivered with Dermapen 4 by trained professionals, it’s safe, comfortable, and highly effective.
Microneedling vs Other Hair Growth Treatments
There are many hair growth approaches — from medications to PRP to LED therapy — but microneedling stands out for its ability to enhance everything it’s paired with.
Microneedling works well alongside:
- Minoxidil
- Hair growth peptides
- Exosomes
- Supplements
- Red LED therapy
- PRP
This makes it a powerful foundation for most hair rejuvenation treatment plans.
At Lovoir specifically, we combine our classic microneedling treatment with an advanced regenerative option for even stronger results: EXO-GROW. Here comes the exciting part!
EXO-GROW: Lovoir’s Premium Hair Rejuvenation Treatment
Microneedling alone is effective, but pairing it with exosomes can significantly amplify follicle regeneration – or simpler terms, hair growth results!
EXO-GROW, the signature hair rejuvenation treatment by Dermapen World, uses immune-tolerant HLA-G COMPLEXA™ exosomes — an advanced, patented technology designed to prevent the scalp from developing resistance to treatment. This ensures consistent, long-lasting improvements.
What makes EXO-GROW so effective?
EXO-GROW is packed with:
- Growth factors
- Regenerative peptides
- Nutrients
- Cellular signals that promote follicle repair
When applied immediately after microneedling, these exosomes penetrate deeply into the scalp, helping:
✔ Reduce shedding
✔ Strengthen weak or miniaturised follicles
✔ Improve thickness and texture
✔ Support faster, more visible growth
✔ Enhance long-term follicle health
For clients wanting the most advanced regenerative option, EXO-GROW is one of the leading innovations in the hair rejuvenation world.
