Thinning & density
Hair that's grown finer or sparser over time, especially around the crown or hairline. Needling supports the follicles still in place and encourages stronger regrowth.
A scalp-focused needling protocol with Lamelle's hair growth serum — supporting the follicles you have, for density, hair quality and a slow, lasting return.

What it is
Renewal, where the hair grows.
Hair density is, in many ways, a reflection of follicle health. As the years pass, follicles can quietly retreat — not lost, but less active — and hair grows finer, slower, or in fewer places.
Scalp microneedling uses the same precise Dermapen device we use elsewhere, adapted for the scalp. Fine, controlled pathways through the upper skin layers stimulate blood flow and prompt the body's own repair signals around each follicle. We work with Lamelle's hair growth serum throughout — its growth-supporting actives delivered exactly where the follicles can use them.
It's a slow treatment, in the best sense. Results build over months, not weeks — but the foundation is what makes the difference last.
What it's for
What scalp needling supports.
Hair restoration is a layered question. Microneedling addresses the part within our reach — the scalp environment and follicle activation — alongside whatever else you may already be doing.
02
Scalp health
Tight, congested, or quietly inflamed scalps. Improved circulation and renewal create a healthier environment for hair to grow.
03
Course alongside topicals
Microneedling improves the absorption of topical hair treatments significantly. If you're using a prescribed product or growth serum, this often makes them work harder.
What to expect
A scalp-focused session.
Sessions are calmer than people expect — and the aftercare is straightforward.
01
The consultation
We look at the scalp closely, talk through any thinning history, current products, and what you'd love to see. Hair patterns are personal, and the plan is built for yours.
02
The treatment
We section the hair, work across the scalp with the Dermapen at a depth tuned for the area, and apply Lamelle's hair growth serum throughout — drawn into the channels the needling has just created. Most clients describe it as more comfortable than expected.
03
The aftercare
Mild scalp tenderness and a slight warmth for the rest of the day. We ask you to skip washing the hair for 24 hours, then resume normally. We share a simple supportive protocol.
Frequency & rhythm
A patient course is the work.
Hair grows slowly. The recommended starting course is four to six sessions, three to four weeks apart, to give the follicles repeated, gentle stimulation across a meaningful timeframe.
Visible change usually begins around the three-to-four month mark, with full results sitting at the six-to-nine month point. Patience is part of the protocol.
Suitability
The right candidate for scalp needling is someone with active follicles to support.
Scalp microneedling works best where there's still hair to encourage — early thinning, density loss, scalp health concerns. Total hair loss, certain medications, and some autoimmune conditions need a different conversation. We assess all of this at the consultation, with care and honesty.
You might also consider
Treatments that pair well.
Scalp needling rarely sits alone — these are the treatments most often paired with it.
Dermapen Microneedling
The same precise needling for face & neck — fine lines, scarring and texture. Often the centrepiece of a long-term skin plan.
Microneedling — face, neck & décolletage
Microneedling extended to the chest — same precision, larger area. Often paced as a course alongside facial sessions.
LED Light Therapy
A calming, light-only treatment that quietly supports collagen and reduces inflammation — pairs naturally between needling sessions.
