Dermapen 4 Hair Restoration: Supporting Thinning Hair from the Scalp Up

Hair thinning is something many women notice as they move through midlife.

Perhaps your parting looks a little wider, your ponytail feels finer, or you simply notice more hair than usual in your brush or shower.

For women, changes in hair density can be particularly noticeable around menopause, but hair thinning can have many contributing factors including genetics, ageing, hormonal changes, stress, illness and nutritional factors.

At Sole Revival, I’m always interested in treatments that focus on long-term health and gradual improvement rather than quick fixes. This has led me to explore the role of Dermapen 4 microneedling as part of a professional hair restoration programme.

What is Dermapen 4 Hair Restoration?

Dermapen 4 is an advanced microneedling device traditionally used for skin rejuvenation. It can also be used professionally on the scalp as part of a targeted approach to hair thinning.

The controlled micro-channels created by the Dermapen can stimulate the scalp and allow selected professional formulations to be introduced more effectively.

DermapenWorld explains that its hair-loss protocols are intended for situations where the hair follicle is still present and capable of producing hair. It is important to understand that microneedling cannot create new hair follicles where they no longer exist. (DermapenWorld⁠)

Why combine Dermapen 4 with EXO-GROW™?

DermapenWorld has developed its EXO-GROW™ collection specifically for scalp and hair concerns.

The professional MG-EXO-GROW™ Meso-Glide can be used alongside Dermapen 4 treatments, while the EXO-GROW home-care system is designed to support the scalp between professional appointments. (DermapenWorld⁠)

The home-care approach includes scalp preparation, cleansing, conditioning and a daily hair tonic, creating a consistent routine rather than relying on an occasional treatment. (DermapenWorld⁠)

And this is important because hair restoration is a process — not a one-off treatment.

How long does a hair restoration programme take?

Hair grows in cycles, so patience and consistency are essential.

DermapenWorld currently recommends 4–6 professional microneedling sessions, approximately four weeks apart, with ongoing home care between treatments. (DermapenWorld⁠)

The aim is to support the scalp environment and existing follicles over time, rather than expecting an overnight transformation.

Results will naturally vary depending on the individual, the cause and stage of hair thinning and whether active follicles remain.

Is Dermapen Hair Restoration suitable for everyone?

No — and that is why professional assessment is important.

Hair loss has many possible causes, and some forms require medical investigation or management before aesthetic treatment is considered. DermapenWorld advises seeking professional assessment when hair loss is first noticed, as early intervention may offer a better opportunity where active follicles remain. (DermapenWorld⁠)

A consultation should therefore always come before deciding whether a scalp microneedling programme is appropriate for you.

A Sole Revival approach

At Sole Revival, I believe in being selective about the treatments I introduce.

I’m currently researching the possibility of introducing a Sole Revival Dermapen 4 Hair Restoration Programme, combining professional scalp treatments with carefully selected home care.

It is not currently part of my regular treatment menu. I have done all the training with dr Andrew Christie, and now I’m taking the time to investigate the professional protocol, education, products and, most importantly, whether I can offer it to the high standard I expect from every Sole Revival treatment at an accessible price point.

If hair thinning is something you’ve been thinking about, I’d love to hear from you.
