August 2022 in “Aesthetic Plastic Surgery” January 2024 in “Turkiye Klinikleri Journal of Dermatology” The review highlights the growing interest in microneedling for hair loss treatment due to its minimally invasive nature and ability to stimulate hair growth through controlled skin injury and wound healing.
