    TLDR Microneedling works better when combined with other treatments.
    Microneedling, a minimally invasive procedure, is effective for skin rejuvenation, scar reduction, and hair regrowth due to its ability to stimulate collagen production. Recent studies indicate that its efficacy is enhanced when combined with treatments like minoxidil, platelet-rich plasma, and exosomes for hair regeneration. It also shows promise in managing conditions such as vitiligo and melasma when used with topical therapies. Overall, combination therapies involving microneedling are more effective than monotherapies, highlighting its versatility and potential for optimal patient outcomes.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing stress, and addressing nutrient deficiencies can also support hair health.
