Support healthier-looking, fuller hair with a treatment plan created around your scalp
Noticing more hair in the shower, a widening parting or greater visibility through the scalp can feel unsettling. Our Dermapen hair loss treatment takes a personalised approach to supporting suitable areas of thinning, with careful attention to your scalp and existing hair follicles.
At Skin Perfection London, we combine Dermapen 4 scalp microneedling with carefully selected professional scalp solutions and Dermalux LED phototherapy. The aim is to support a healthier scalp environment and improve the appearance of suitable thinning areas where active hair follicles remain.
Hair loss has many possible causes, so treatment should never begin with assumptions. Your consultation allows us to understand how your hair has changed, examine the areas that concern you and decide whether cosmetic scalp treatment is appropriate.
We will always give you realistic guidance. No pressure, no promises of overnight regrowth and no pretending that every form of hair loss responds in the same way.

Perhaps you have started arranging your hair differently to disguise certain areas. Maybe bright lighting, wet hair or photographs now make you feel self-conscious. You might simply miss the freedom of styling your hair without first checking what your scalp looks like.
Hair thinning can affect men and women at different stages of life. It may appear gradually, or you may notice increased shedding following stress, illness, hormonal changes or a major life event.
Common signs include:
- A widening parting
- Greater scalp visibility
- Reduced density around the hairline or crown
- Finer, weaker-looking hair
- A smaller ponytail than before
- Increased shedding when washing or brushing
- Gradual male or female pattern thinning
- Hair that no longer feels as full as it once did
Patients often arrive after trying numerous shampoos, supplements and hair-growth products. Some may support general hair or scalp care, but topical products alone cannot address every reason for thinning.
The first step is understanding what you are actually dealing with.
Understanding why your hair may be thinning
Hair loss is not one single condition. Genetics can play a role, but changes in hair density may also relate to hormones, stress, illness, nutritional deficiencies, medication, pregnancy, menopause, weight loss, traction or inflammatory scalp conditions.
Some forms of hair loss may benefit from supportive cosmetic scalp treatment. Others require investigation or management by a GP, dermatologist or another appropriate healthcare professional.
Possible influences include:
- Male or female pattern hair loss
- Hormonal changes
- Menopause or the period following pregnancy
- Physical or emotional stress
- Recent illness or surgery
- Rapid weight loss or restrictive dieting
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Certain medications
- Tight hairstyles, extensions or repeated tension
- Autoimmune or inflammatory conditions
- Scalp conditions that affect healthy hair growth
Sudden shedding, clearly defined bald patches, scalp pain, inflammation, scaling, scarring or hair loss accompanied by other symptoms should receive appropriate medical assessment.
What is Alopecia?
Who may benefit from Dermapen hair loss treatment?
Dermapen scalp treatment may be considered when you have:
- Gradual hair thinning
- Early male or female pattern thinning
- Reduced density through the parting or crown
- Finer or weaker-looking hair
- A visible scalp despite hair still being present
- Hair follicles that remain active within the treatment area
- A generally healthy scalp without active infection or inflammation
- Realistic expectations about gradual, variable improvement
Earlier intervention can sometimes provide more opportunity to support weakened follicles than treatment started after an area has become completely smooth or scarred.
That does not mean patients should feel frightened into making a quick decision. It simply means that a consultation can help you understand your options before spending more money on treatments or products that may not suit the cause of your concern.
Dermapen treatment cannot create new hair follicles, restore hair within scarred areas or guarantee that lost hair will regrow.
How does Dermapen scalp microneedling work?
Dermapen 4 uses fine, rapidly moving sterile needles to create controlled microchannels within the scalp.
This controlled process stimulates the skin’s natural repair response and may help support circulation and the environment surrounding existing hair follicles. The microchannels also allow the selected professional scalp solution to be applied evenly across the treatment area.
The treatment depth and technique are adjusted according to your scalp, the location being treated and your individual treatment plan.
Dermapen scalp microneedling does not simply involve passing a generic roller across the skin. Controlled depth, sterile equipment, appropriate product selection and careful assessment all matter, particularly when the scalp is already sensitive or experiencing active hair loss.
A combination approach to thinning hair
Hair thinning rarely has one simple answer. For suitable patients, we combine several carefully selected elements rather than expecting one step to do everything.
Your treatment plan may include:
Dermapen 4 scalp microneedling
Controlled microneedling creates microchannels within the scalp and stimulates a natural repair response around existing follicles.
A professional scalp solution
Your practitioner applies a scalp-specific formulation selected for your treatment plan. This may include EXO-GROW products where appropriate.
The formulation is applied topically as part of the microneedling protocol. We do not describe it as an injection, stem-cell treatment or guaranteed method of producing new hair.
Dermalux LED phototherapy
Red and near-infrared light may be used following microneedling to support the scalp and complement the treatment experience.
Personalised home care
Where appropriate, your practitioner may recommend EXO-GROW Hair Tonic, an EXO scalp mask or other scalp-care products between appointments. Products included will depend on the package you select and the needs of your scalp.
Each part of the plan has a purpose, but the most important part is still choosing the right patient. More technology does not automatically mean a better outcome if the underlying concern needs medical investigation instead.
What results can you expect from Dermapen hair loss treatment?
The aim of Dermapen hair loss treatment is to support the condition of the scalp and improve the appearance of suitable thinning areas over time.
Depending on your starting point and how you respond, you may notice:
- Hair that appears stronger and healthier
- Reduced visibility through suitable thinning areas
- Improved-looking density
- A healthier scalp environment
- Less concern about how the scalp appears in photographs or bright light
- Greater confidence when styling your hair
Hair grows slowly, so this is not an instant-results treatment. Changes usually need to be assessed over several months rather than several days or weeks.
Some patients may notice improvements in hair quality or reduced shedding before they see a visible difference in density. Others may experience limited improvement despite completing the recommended course.
Results depend on factors including the cause and duration of the hair loss, the presence and health of existing follicles, age, general health, home care and consistency with treatment.
No ethical clinic can promise that microneedling will completely reverse hair loss or produce the same result for every patient.
What may affect hair loss?
Different triggers can affect hair loss and the way our hair grows and some of these can be from:
- pregnancy
- hormones
- diet
- rapid weight loss
- stress
- illness
- medications, in particular chemotherapy drugs, including the contraceptive pill, anti-coagulants and anti-convulsants
- any auto-immune disease that leads to “Alopecia Areata”
- hair shaft abnormalities ( just by simply wearing hats, scarfs, and tight hair band styles or even having extensions, can put long term stress to the hair follicles which can lead to scar tissue to the hair follicles.
Your Dermapen hair loss treatment journey
Step 1: Consultation and suitability assessment
We assess your scalp, discuss the pattern and history of your hair loss and explain whether Dermapen treatment appears suitable.
Step 2: A personalised treatment plan
Your practitioner recommends an appropriate course, treatment areas, professional scalp formulation and supporting home care.
Step 3: Dermapen 4 scalp treatment
The scalp is prepared before Dermapen 4 creates controlled microchannels across the selected areas. Your practitioner applies the chosen scalp-specific formulation according to the treatment protocol.
Step 4: Dermalux LED phototherapy
Where included within your plan, LED phototherapy follows the microneedling stage to complement the treatment and support the scalp.
Step 5: Home care and progress monitoring
You receive personalised aftercare and home-care guidance. We monitor your response throughout the course and adjust the plan where appropriate.
Hair changes take time, so progress should be reviewed fairly. Constantly checking the mirror each morning can make it almost impossible to recognise gradual improvement. Consistent photographs taken under similar lighting provide a much more useful comparison.
