XL hair, a Hyaluronic acid (HA) blend, is injected into the scalp in tiny superficial injections followed with a boost of mico-needling to allow even penetration and stead of the HA. The treatment needs to be repeated once a week for a period of 4-6 weeks.
The solution used contains a non cross-linked Hyaluronic acid. The restructuring and moisturizing capacity of Hyaluronic acid supplies the scalp with exceptional hydration and a remarkable biostimulation effect. It allows more efficient natural exchanges between hair cells and the intercellular matrix. The micro-needling stimulates blood flow, increases the availability of cell nutrients, releases vascular endothelial factor (VEGF), and upregulating fibroblast growth factor (FGF-7).
You may start noticing results in as little as 1 week but a minimum of 4-6 sessions, one week apart, are recommended for noticeable results.
Duration of results is dependant on the individual. Results have generally proven to be long lasting. Once the desired result is achieved we recommend treatment once a year to maintain.
You may feel slight discomfort. Local anaesthetic is not needed as the needles used are tiny and the device used is designed to reduce pain.
Yes, the treatment is completely safe. The micro-needling treatment does not pierce the skins natural barrier, only penetrating into the epidermis to stimulate collagen production. The epidermis heals rapidly, usually in a matter of hours, and the skin should be completely back to normal within 24 to 48 hours.
Possible side effects- pain, redness, bruising, swelling, stinging, local inflammation; which usually disappear in 24 hours.
