Microneedling Eyebrows

Have you heard of microneedling for skin rejuvenation? Well, microneedling your eyebrows is similar. The technique punctures the brow hair follicles with tiny needles. Creating mini punctures in the skin serves several purposes. The first is that the micro-trauma stimulates blood flow to the needled area. This brings nutrients and collagen, which in turn can boost hair growth. The second is that the microchannels made by the needles allow hair growth products to penetrate deeper into the skin, amplifying their effect. Finally, needling stimulates stem cells in the hair follicle, stimulating faster hair growth.

If you were not genetically blessed with bushy eyebrows, microneedling won’t stimulate hair growth that was never there. But, if your eyebrows have thinned from years of waxing and tweezing, there is a good chance that it can boost some brow growth. The tiny punctures made by the microneedles are perceived as injuries by the body. In response, the body produces high amounts of collagen sent to the spot to facilitate healing. Collagen stimulates skin and hair growth and encourages dormant hair follicles to produce new hair. And hair follicles that are still growing will produce more dense, healthier brows! Microneedling done by a trained professional is also very safe on all skin types. As such, it’s a low-risk procedure that can have a major effect on your natural brows.
