- Does microneedling help with all types of alopecia, or only androgenic alopecia? Small, low-quality studies suggest microneedling may add to minoxidil in pattern hair loss; evidence in alopecia areata is limited, and there is no evidence of benefit in scarring alopecia.

Spreading bald patches should be assessed by a dermatologist.
