A Targeted Approach to Scalp Stimulation

Hair thinning can be frustrating when the scalp begins to show more clearly, the part looks wider, or hair density feels reduced over time. For many patients, the best approach begins with improving the scalp environment and encouraging the body’s natural renewal response.

At Image Surgical Arts, scalp microneedling with RejuvaPen is used to create controlled microchannels in targeted scalp areas. This treatment may help support scalp health, improve product absorption, and complement regenerative hair restoration options for patients experiencing early thinning or reduced density.

Why Microneedling Can Be Used on the Scalp

RejuvaPen is a microneedling device that creates tiny, controlled channels in the skin. When used on the scalp, these microchannels stimulate a natural repair response and may help create a healthier environment for hair-focused treatments. Patients may consider scalp microneedling with RejuvaPen to address concerns such as:

  • Early hair thinning
  • Reduced hair density
  • Widening part
  • Hairline or crown thinning
  • Scalp that needs stimulation
  • Hair changes related to aging
  • Postpartum thinning, when appropriate
  • Support alongside regenerative treatments

Scalp microneedling is not a surgical hair restoration procedure. Instead, it may be used as part of a non-surgical plan to support scalp health and encourage stronger-looking hair over time.

Why Choose Image Surgical Arts?

Medical-Led Aesthetic Standards

Image Surgical Arts is led by Dr. Brady Harris, a triple board-certified cosmetic surgeon, and the medspa team approaches scalp treatments with careful attention to safety, skin response, comfort, and individualized treatment planning.

Experience With RejuvaPen Technology

RejuvaPen allows controlled microneedling depth and speed, which helps the provider tailor treatment based on the scalp area, sensitivity, and level of stimulation needed.

Customized Hair Restoration Planning

Scalp microneedling may be used alone or combined with other hair restoration options, including PRP / PDGF+ injections, AquaFirmeXS Hair Restoration, HydraFacial Keravive Scalp, or supportive supplements when appropriate.

Guidance for Men and Women

Hair thinning can look different for men and women. The Image Surgical Arts team evaluates the pattern of thinning, scalp condition, treatment history, and timing before recommending a plan.

RejuvaPen for Hair and Scalp Health

Scalp microneedling is designed to stimulate the scalp in a controlled way. The treatment creates microchannels that prompt the skin’s natural repair process while also preparing the area for certain topical or regenerative products when recommended.

This can be especially helpful as part of a multi-step hair restoration plan. For example, some patients may benefit from scalp cleansing first, followed by microneedling or regenerative injections. Others may use scalp microneedling as a maintenance treatment to support ongoing scalp quality. The best plan depends on the patient’s hair pattern, scalp condition, and how recently thinning began.

Who May Be a Good Candidate?

Scalp microneedling with RejuvaPen may be appropriate for patients with early thinning, mild density changes, or scalp concerns that may benefit from stimulation and improved treatment absorption. It may be considered for both men and women.

This treatment may not be ideal for every type of hair loss. Patients with advanced hair loss, active scalp infection, certain inflammatory scalp conditions, or medical causes of shedding may need additional evaluation before treatment. During consultation, the team will review hair history, scalp health, and relevant medical factors.

What Happens During Treatment

A scalp microneedling appointment begins with an evaluation of the treatment area and a review of the patient’s hair concerns, sensitivities, and treatment history. The scalp is cleansed and prepared before the RejuvaPen device is used. During treatment, the device is passed across targeted scalp areas in a controlled pattern. 

Patients may feel pressure, vibration, or mild prickling. Comfort measures may be discussed depending on sensitivity and treatment intensity. After microneedling, the scalp may appear pink or feel tender, warm, or tight. When appropriate, topical or regenerative products may be applied as part of the treatment plan.

Aftercare and Scalp Response

Temporary redness, tenderness, tightness, or sensitivity may occur after scalp microneedling. These effects usually improve as the scalp settles. Patients should follow aftercare instructions carefully and avoid harsh scalp products, excessive sweating, direct sun exposure to the treated area, or irritating hair treatments until cleared by the provider.

The Image Surgical Arts team will also explain when to resume normal washing, styling, and hair care products. Gentle care during the early healing period helps protect the scalp and supports a smoother treatment experience.

Gradual Progress Toward Fuller-Looking Hair

Scalp microneedling works gradually because hair restoration depends on the scalp and follicle response over time. Patients should not expect immediate visible regrowth after one appointment. Instead, improvements in scalp health and hair appearance may develop through a series of treatments.

A consistent plan may be recommended for best results, especially when microneedling is paired with PRP / PDGF+ injections, AquaFirmeXS Hair Restoration, HydraFacial Keravive Scalp, or other supportive therapies. At Image Surgical Arts, treatment expectations are explained clearly so patients understand the timeline and maintenance involved.

Scalp Microneedling with Rejuvapen Frequently Asked Questions

Does scalp microneedling hurt?

Most patients tolerate treatment well, though the scalp can feel sensitive. Patients may feel pressure, vibration, or prickling during treatment, and comfort measures can be discussed.

How many treatments will I need?

Many patients benefit from a series of treatments. The recommended number depends on the pattern of thinning, scalp condition, and whether microneedling is combined with other therapies.

Can scalp microneedling be combined with PRP or PDGF+?

Yes. Scalp microneedling may be combined with regenerative options when appropriate to support a more comprehensive hair restoration plan.

When will I notice results?

Hair-related results develop gradually and may take several months. Scalp improvement may be noticed sooner, but visible density changes usually require consistency and patience.
