Dealing with hair loss can be stressful. Not all hair loss is the same and can be caused by a variety of factors from genetics, illness (like Covid related hair loss), medications (like Ozempic related hair loss), and stress. Although these treatments are effective, they do not treat the root cause of your hair loss.
If you have questions about your specific type of hair loss please consult a dermatologist or hair loss specialist. Angela is not a medical professional and therefore can not diagnose or predict treatment success.
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)
SMP or Scalp Micropigmentation is a great way to add density to thinning hair for women or men. The application and layering of tiny dots creates an illusion of hair. (This is a tattoo technique)
Since each person’s hair loss is unique, a consultation is required to determine cost and # of sessions.

Microneedling for Hair Loss
Microneedling stimulates hair growth in the scalp through several mechanisms:
Increased Blood Circulation: The tiny needles used in microneedling create micro-injuries on the scalp, which stimulate blood circulation. Improved blood flow brings more oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles, promoting healthier hair growth.
Activation of Stem Cells: Microneedling activates stem cells in the hair bulge area, which can lead to the regeneration and growth of hair follicles.
Release of Growth Factors: The micro-injuries caused by microneedling trigger a healing response in the skin, releasing growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). These growth factors promote hair follicle regeneration and hair growth.
Enhanced Absorption of Topical Treatments: Microneedling creates channels in the scalp that enhance the absorption of topical treatments like minoxidil or hair growth serums. This improves the effectiveness of these treatments in stimulating hair follicles.
Microneedling with PRP
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a treatment where a small amount of your blood is drawn, processed to concentrate the platelets, and then microneedled into the scalp.
Here’s how it helps:
Rich in Growth Factors: PRP contains high levels of growth factors like platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and epidermal growth factor (EGF). These growth factors stimulate the hair follicles, promoting the growth phase of the hair cycle (anagen phase), and can also encourage dormant follicles to become active again.
Improved Follicle Health: The growth factors in PRP help improve the overall health and function of hair follicles, leading to thicker, healthier hair.
Increased Blood Flow: PRP promotes the development of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), enhancing the circulation in the scalp and ensuring that the hair follicles receive more oxygen and nutrients, further supporting hair growth.
Reduced Inflammation: PRP has anti-inflammatory properties that help to calm the scalp, which can reduce any inflammatory factors contributing to hair loss, especially in conditions like androgenic alopecia.
