MTS Microneedling Hair Regeneration
At PureSkin London, we understand how distressing hair loss can be – it often impacts self-esteem and confidence. MTS Microneedling Hair Regeneration is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment we offer in our Marylebone clinic (11 Welbeck Street, London) to help combat thinning hair for men and women. By leveraging the body’s natural healing process, this therapy stimulates hair follicles and encourages healthier, fuller hair growth without the need for surgery or harsh medications.
How Scalp Microneedling Stimulates Hair Growth
Microneedling uses an array of ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries across the scalp’s surface. These microscopic punctures trigger the skin’s wound-healing cascade – boosting collagen production and releasing growth factors that rejuvenate hair follicles. Over time, this collagen induction therapy helps strengthen the follicles and can even reactivate dormant ones, creating an optimal environment for new hair to grow. In practical terms, scalp microneedling increases blood flow to hair roots and drives beneficial nutrients deeper into the skin, enhancing the effectiveness of any topical serums or hair growth factors applied during treatment.
Importantly, MTS (Microneedling Therapy System) is a minimally invasive procedure: no incisions or major discomfort. It simply harnesses your body’s natural regenerative ability to address hair loss. In fact, studies show microneedling can significantly increase hair counts, with even greater improvements when combined with growth therapies like minoxidil or PRP. This makes it a powerful stand-alone treatment and an excellent complement to other hair restoration methods.
Key Benefits of MTS Microneedling Hair Regeneration
Non-Surgical & Safe
Microneedling is a non-surgical, minimally invasive alternative for treating hair loss. There’s no general anesthesia, no scarring, and minimal downtime – just a naturally triggered healing response.
Stimulates Natural Growth
The micro-channels prompt your scalp to produce collagen and new cells, supporting the renewal of hair follicles so new hair can potentially grow. This jump-starts sluggish follicles into an active growth phase.
Improves Scalp Health
By boosting circulation and breaking down fibrosis, microneedling creates a healthier scalp environment. Increased blood supply means hair follicles receive more oxygen and nutrients, which can increase hair density and thickness over time.
Versatile for Different Hair Loss Causes
MTS Microneedling benefits those with general thinning, androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness), and even certain cases of alopecia areata. It helps whether your goal is to slow shedding or to stimulate regrowth in sparse areas. (For completely bald areas where follicles are absent, we’ll advise on alternative solutions.)
Combination-Friendly
Microneedling can be performed on its own or combined with other therapies for amplified results. At PureSkin, many clients pair microneedling with PRP or Exosomes treatments to infuse potent growth factors directly into the freshly micro-channeled scalp. We tailor these combinations to maximize your outcome.
Your Microneedling Hair Treatment Experience
Personalised Consultation
We begin with an in-depth consultation to assess your hair loss concerns and scalp condition. Our specialist will determine if you’re a good candidate for microneedling (most clients with thinning hair or mild-to-moderate hair loss are) and answer any questions you have. This is also when we set realistic expectations – hair regeneration is a gradual process, and we’ll discuss the recommended number of sessions for optimal results (typically a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart, customized to your needs).
Preparing for Treatment
On treatment day, your scalp will be cleansed thoroughly. A topical numbing cream is usually applied to ensure maximum comfort during the procedure – microneedling is well-tolerated by most, but we take every step to make you relaxed. The medical-grade MTS device we use has sterile, fine needles adjusted to the precise depth needed for the scalp (generally around 1-1.5 mm for effective hair stimulation.
Microneedling Procedure
The practitioner gently glides the microneedling pen or roller across the thinning areas of your scalp. You’ll feel a slight vibration and perhaps a mild tingling or pressure, but it shouldn’t be painful (thanks to numbing and the device’s speed). The needles create micro-channels in the skin. We may apply a specialized hair serum, growth peptides, or even your own PRP on the scalp during this process – the micro-channels help these nutrients penetrate deeper for enhanced efficacy. The entire session is relatively quick and typically completed within 30 minutes.
Post-Treatment
After microneedling, it’s normal for your scalp to appear red and feel slightly sunburned; this minor irritation usually subsides within a few hours to a day. There is virtually no downtime – you can resume normal activities the same or next day. We’ll provide simple aftercare instructions, such as avoiding harsh hair products or excessive sweating for 24 hours. Most clients find the recovery easy, with just some redness or tenderness. Since there are no incisions, infection risk is very low if you follow the provided scalp care guidelines.
Gradual, Lasting Improvement
Hair regrowth doesn’t happen overnight, so patience is key. Over the weeks and months following each session, you may notice less hair shedding as a first sign of progress. Then, new baby hairs or improved volume can appear in the treated areas as follicles produce stronger strands. Typically, clients see visible improvements in thickness or fill-in of sparse patches after a few months of cumulative treatments, as microneedling works in tandem with your natural hair growth cycle. These results can continue to build with each session, and many clients maintain improvements long-term with the occasional maintenance treatment (for example, quarterly or biannual microneedling) to keep stimulating the follicles.
Who Is Microneedling For?
MTS Microneedling is ideal for men and women in the early to moderate stages of hair thinning or alopecia who want a natural solution. It works best if you still have functioning hair follicles (even if they’re producing very fine or weak hairs). For example, those with widening part lines, diffuse thinning across the scalp, or patchy hair loss can benefit greatly. Microneedling has shown success even when other remedies failed – if you’ve tried medications like finasteride or minoxidil without adequate results, adding microneedling could help trigger new growth. It’s also a good option if you seek to delay or avoid hair transplant surgery by improving what you have.
This treatment is suitable for most healthy individuals. However, if you have an active scalp infection, psoriasis/eczema on the scalp, or a blood-clotting disorder, microneedling may not be recommended. During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history to ensure the procedure is safe and appropriate for you. Our expert will also outline what kind of outcome you can expect based on your pattern of hair loss – setting you up for success with a realistic game plan.

FAQs: MTS Microneedling Hair Regeneration
Does microneedling really regrow hair?
Microneedling has shown promising ability to regrow hair in many cases. The controlled micro-injuries stimulate dormant hair follicles to produce new growth. Clinical studies have found that microneedling can significantly increase hair count, especially when combined with topical treatments Many patients (over 80% in one study) experienced more than 50% improvement in hair regrowth after microneedling therapy, outperforming results from minoxidil alone. While individual results vary, these findings and our own client outcomes confirm that microneedling can indeed activate natural hair regrowth for those with thinning hair.
Is scalp microneedling safe?
Yes – scalp microneedling is considered very safe when performed by trained professionals. The needles used are extremely fine and only penetrate the superficial skin layers. There’s no significant bleeding or damage to deeper tissues. Minor side effects like temporary redness, tenderness, or mild swelling on the scalp are common, but they subside within hours or a day. Because we use your skin’s natural healing processes, there’s no risk of allergic reaction. Our team follows strict medical-grade hygiene (sterile, single-use needle cartridges and proper scalp disinfection) to eliminate infection risks. We will also provide aftercare guidelines to keep your scalp clean and protected post-treatment. Overall, microneedling is a low-risk procedure with a long track record in dermatology.
How soon will I see results?
Hair regrowth is a gradual process, so you won’t see a dramatic change immediately. After your first few microneedling sessions, the initial effect often noticed is reduced hair shedding within a few weeks – a sign that follicles are becoming healthier. Visible new growth or thickening typically takes a bit longer. Most clients start to see visible improvements by about 3–4 months into their treatment course, as new hairs cycle in. Continued sessions and time yield more pronounced results; by 6 months, you should see fuller, denser hair in the treated areas. Keep in mind, consistency is important – a series of treatments is usually needed to achieve significant regrowth. During your consultation, we’ll set expectations based on your individual hair growth cycle. The good news is that once results appear, they tend to improve further with maintenance and can be long-lasting as we keep stimulating the follicles’ activity.
