Microneedling or derma roller for scalp helps treat hair loss & promote hair regrowth in Singapore which is also able to cause controlled trauma in the scalp.
TrichoLab’s signature medical microneedling hair growth treatment is designed for individuals experiencing hair thinning or hair loss, and is backed by clinical evidence and medical protocols.This treatment uses an advanced microneedling system with ultra-fine needles up to 0.6mm to deliver TrichoLab’s patented hair growth and anti-hair loss formula, a proprietary complex of botanicals, peptides, and growth factors, directly into the scalp and hair follicles. Treatment depth is personalised to your scalp’s condition: sessions typically begin at 0.25mm and are gradually adjusted up to 0.6mm based on your scalp’s response and comfort level, as assessed by your scalp specialist.
Is this you?
Receding hairline
Your hairline at the temples is inching back, or your forehead looks bigger than it used to in photos.
Diffuse thinning
Your hair feels thinner all over rather than in one spot. Your ponytail feels smaller, or your part looks wider than it used to.
Thinning at the crown
The top of your head shows more scalp than before – most noticeable in bright light or photos taken from above.
Postpartum shedding
You're a few months past delivery and noticing noticeably more hair in the shower drain, on your brush, or on your pillow.
Medical microneedling for hair loss is a minimally invasive, clinically supported procedure that creates controlled micro-channels in the scalp using a medical-grade microneedling device.
Unlike at-home derma rollers, medical microneedling is performed in a sterile clinical environment using calibrated needle depths to:
Stimulate collagen and elastin production in the scalp
Increase blood circulation to hair follicles
Enhance the absorption of medical-grade hair growth serums
Trigger the release of platelets and endogenous growth factors
These biological responses play an important role in thickening existing hair shafts and reactivating weakened or dormant hair follicles.
While the idea of microneedling may sound uncomfortable, the procedure involves controlled, superficial stimulation and is generally well tolerated when performed by trained professionals. At TrichoLab, your comfort is our priority – while our clients generally do not require numbing we have various measures to make your treatment as comfortable as possible.
How Effective Is Microneedling for Hair Loss?
Microneedling for hair loss is clinically proven to significantly increase hair count and density, particularly when combined with a topical treatment like minoxidil.
Randomized trials have recorded up to 4x greater hair count gains and effectiveness rates as high as 85%, with results consistently replicated across independent studies in both men and women.

Greater hair count increase with microneedling + minoxidil vs. minoxidil alone, over 12 weeks in patients with mild–moderate androgenetic alopecia

Add-Ons
from $138 Whether it is a Multivitamin Serum or a LED Light Therapy, give your treatment a boost for greater results
During your hair loss treatment, we use a microneedling system for hair with ultra-fine needles up to 0.6mm to deliver TrichoLab’s patented hair growth and anti-hair loss formula (made with a secret complex of botanicals, peptides, and growth factors) into your hair follicles. Needle depth is customised to your scalp, with treatment typically starting at 0.25mm and gradually increasing up to 0.6mm, depending on how your scalp responds and what feels comfortable for you.
Before the procedure, you will undergo a consultation. The actual procedure time may vary based on the size of the treatment area and the number of steps involved. At TrichoLab, you can expect the procedure to take around 90 minutes to complete inclusive of the pre & post-treatment analysis.
After the procedure, we will blow-dry your hair and subsequently conduct a post-treatment analysis to review the effects of microneedling for hair loss. We may apply a multi-vitamin serum or LED Light Therapy to give your hair loss treatment a boost for greater results.
Why TrichoLab Uses 0.6mm Ultra-Fine Needles
At TrichoLab, we use ultra-fine needles up to 0.6mm to strike the optimal balance between patient comfort and meaningful collagen stimulation.
Needle depth is never one-size-fits-all. Treatment typically begins at 0.25mm and is gradually adjusted up to 0.6mm over subsequent sessions, progressing at a pace that suits your scalp’s individual response and comfort level, as assessed by your scalp specialist. This carefully calibrated approach stimulates collagen and growth factor production, enhances the penetration of our hair growth serums, and minimises unnecessary trauma and downtime.

Frequently asked questions
How long is this hair loss treatment?
This microneedling for hair loss treatment will take around 90 minutes.
Is there any downtime? Are there any side effects?
You may notice some redness on your scalp after the treatment. Rest assured that this is normal and will dissipate within the next day.
Who is medical microneedling suitable for?
Our microneedling hair loss treatment is suitable for those experiencing advanced hair loss or simply looking to achieve fuller, healthier hair.
It is also safe for nursing or expecting women, but not recommended for pregnant women.
Scalp treatments will be advised only after a scalp analysis and consultation to assess suitability.
How often should I do the treatment?
Our microneedling hair loss is suitable for those experiencing advanced hair loss or simply looking to achieve fuller, healthier hair. It is also safe for nursing or expecting women, but not recommended for pregnant women. We recommend that you do the treatment once every 7-10 days.
How long does it take for microneedling to show new hair growth on bald or thinning areas?
You can expect to see some improvements within 12-24 weeks with consistent, uninterrupted hair loss treatment.
Is medical microneedling painful?
Not at all. Our treatment is designed with your comfort as the priority. Treatment depth is tailored to your scalp, with sessions typically starting at 0.25mm and gradually increasing up to 0.6mm over time, based on your scalp’s response. Any mild redness or tingling typically settles quickly, and our team is trained to ensure a smooth, comfortable experience.
Do I need to see a hair loss doctor first?
At TrichoLab, we provide a professional scalp and hair loss assessment before treatment to identify any underlying causes and personalise a treatment plan just for you. Our specialists focus on scalp health and hair regrowth, and if we detect any medical conditions that require further attention, we can refer you to a hair loss doctor at our sister brand, SL Aesthetic Clinic, ensuring you receive comprehensive hair loss care from start to finish.
Would I get the same effect as microneedling at home?
At-home derma rollers are less precise and cannot safely reach the optimal depth to stimulate collagen, growth factors and follicle activity. Our medical microneedling is performed in a sterile, clinical environment by trained professionals, ensuring safe and reliable results that home devices cannot replicate.
Does microneedling really help with hair loss and hair regrowth?
Yes. Medical microneedling stimulates the scalp through controlled micro-injuries, which activate collagen, elastin, and growth factors. This process helps reactivate dormant hair follicles, improve blood flow, and support thicker, denser hair growth.
Can I combine microneedling with minoxidil to improve hair loss treatment results?
Yes. Clinical studies have demonstrated that microneedling combined with 5% minoxidil can significantly improve hair regrowth. In one trial, over 80% of patients using microneedling + minoxidil experienced more than 50% improvement.
If you wish to get a prescription for 5% minoxidil, we can refer you to our sister clinic SL Aesthetic Clinic for a doctor’s consultation.
What is the ideal microneedling aftercare routine to maximise hair regrowth results?
After your session, it’s important to keep the scalp clean, avoid harsh chemicals, heat styling, or scratching, and follow any post-treatment serums or topical therapies recommended by our specialists.
Following these guidelines helps maximise absorption of active ingredients and promotes optimal hair regrowth.
Can microneedling help with receding hairlines and early-stage male pattern baldness?
Yes. Microneedling can stimulate miniaturized or dormant follicles, which makes it particularly effective for early-stage male pattern baldness and receding hairlines.
Combined with targeted hair growth solutions, it can thicken existing hair and slow progression of hair loss.
Is microneedling effective for female pattern hair loss and postpartum shedding?
Yes. Microneedling has been shown to benefit female pattern hair loss and postpartum shedding by stimulating growth factors and improving absorption of hair growth serums, supporting thicker, healthier hair over time.
Is microneedling for hair loss better than PRP or laser therapy for scalp treatment?
Each treatment has unique benefits. Microneedling is minimally invasive, medically supported, and enhances topical product absorption, making it effective for hair regrowth. PRP introduces concentrated growth factors from your own blood, while laser therapy stimulates follicles using low-level light.
PRP is not available in Singapore.
How do I choose a safe microneedling clinic that specialises in hair loss treatment?
Look for hair loss centres or clinics that offer medical-grade microneedling in a sterile environment, with doctor-trained specialists focusing on scalp and hair regrowth.
A proper assessment should be provided to identify underlying causes, and the clinic should offer personalised treatment plans and professional aftercare guidance. Most importantly, request for before/after photos.
What should I avoid before microneedling?
Avoid chemical hair treatments including hair colouring, bleaching, perming, rebonding, chemical straightening or keratin treatments at least 7 days before
Avoid using exfoliating scalp products or medicated shampoos before your session
Avoid unnecessary sun exposure
