Thinking about trying microneedling for hair growth? Here’s a great question to ask: how often should you do it?
The short answer: Most people see the best results with a short series in clinic every 1–4 weeks, followed by lighter maintenance.
The long answer: The exact timing depends on your scalp, the needle depth, and what we pair it with. In this article, we break down all the things you need to know before you explore microneedling for fuller, healthier hair.

Now back to topic: How often should you get scalp microneedling for hair growth? Keep reading to learn more!
What is scalp microneedling?
It’s a clever way to nudge your scalp to do what it already knows how to do: repair and renew. Tiny, precise needles create micro-channels that wake up growth signals and help active serums get where they need to go. Think of it as a reset for sluggish follicles.

So… how often should you microneedle your scalp?
Your starting plan
A popular place to start is (3) in-clinic sessions, 2–4 weeks apart, then we check your progress. This spacing respects your scalp’s healing rhythm and pairs beautifully with advanced serums like Exo Grow.
Why you’ll see different schedules online
You might read about weekly sessions, or monthly sessions, or something in between. All can be correct in the right context. What matters is matching the frequency to your scalp, your at-home care, and your goals. That’s where professional guidance saves time and guesswork.
Why spacing matters
Your scalp needs a little time to respond between visits. Too close together can feel irritating and won’t speed things up. Well-spaced treatments create steady momentum and more comfortable progress.

Other FAQs about Scalp Microneedling
What needle depth do you use?
It varies by area and goal. Deeper is not always better. Your therapist will choose a depth that is effective and still kind to your scalp.
Can I combine microneedling with other treatments?
Yes. It pairs well with hero products and professional options. At Lovoir, our Exo Grow protocol uses an exosome-rich serum that complements your in-clinic work and home routine.
Will it help on completely bald patches?
Microneedling works best in thinning areas with miniaturised follicles. If your scalp is smooth and shiny in places, we’ll chat through what’s realistic and suggest the most helpful options.
How often is maintenance?
After your initial series, many clients shift to maintenance every 1–3 months. We’ll fine-tune that based on your response and goals.
