Collagen-stimulating scalp microneedling with peptides and growth factors. A proven, non-surgical treatment for hair thinning, shedding and reduced density in Chelmsford.
Hair microneedling uses a medical-grade device to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the scalp. This triggers your body's natural wound-healing response — increasing blood flow, collagen production and nutrient delivery directly to the hair follicles.
At AURA by Lara, we combine microneedling with targeted peptide serums and growth factors that are applied immediately after needling. The micro-channels allow these active ingredients to penetrate far deeper than topical application alone, making the treatment significantly more effective.
Both treatments aim to improve scalp health and stimulate hair growth, but they work differently.
Hair microneedling creates micro-channels that stimulate your body's own repair mechanisms while enhancing absorption of topical serums. Hair mesotherapy involves injecting small amounts of vitamins, minerals and growth factors directly into the scalp.
At AURA, we often combine elements of both approaches within a single treatment session — delivering the collagen-stimulating benefits of microneedling alongside the targeted nourishment of mesotherapy-style infusions.
Hair microneedling is effective for a wide range of hair thinning concerns:
• Diffuse thinning across the scalp • Crown thinning and reduced density • Receding hairlines and temple recession • Stress-related hair shedding (telogen effluvium) • Postpartum hair loss • Menopause-related hair changes • Supporting hair health before or after a transplant
The treatment is suitable for men and women and can be combined with our Exosome Hair Restoration treatment for enhanced results.
Each session begins with a scalp assessment to monitor progress and adjust the treatment if needed. A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.
The microneedling treatment takes approximately 30–45 minutes. Peptide serums are applied during and after the procedure to maximise absorption. Most clients describe the sensation as mild and tolerable.
After treatment, the scalp may appear slightly red for 12–24 hours. There is no significant downtime — you can return to daily activities immediately.
