What Is Hair Restoration?

Hair restoration at Monaco Aesthetics & Wellness refers to a category of non-surgical, regenerative treatments designed to address hair thinning, shedding, and early-stage hair loss by improving scalp health and stimulating the body's natural hair growth cycle.

Hair grows in a continuous cycle — active growth, transition, and rest — and a variety of factors can disrupt this cycle, leading to thinning or loss. These include hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, stress, genetics, inflammation, and poor scalp circulation. Rather than masking these causes, our treatments target them at the root — literally.

​

At Monaco Aesthetics & Wellness in Bakersfield, our primary hair restoration approach centers on scalp microneedling, which can be performed alone or combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for enhanced results. Both treatments are minimally invasive, require little to no downtime, and work by activating the body's regenerative processes to encourage stronger, healthier hair growth from within.

​

Hair concerns commonly addressed with our hair restoration treatments:

• Gradual hair thinning across the scalp

• Diffuse thinning in women (female pattern hair loss)

• Early androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss)

• Hair shedding related to hormonal changes, stress, or postpartum changes

• Reduced hair density and overall volume

• Poor scalp health, dryness, or inflammation affecting hair growth

• Thinning along the hairline or crown

• Patients looking to support and maintain their current hair before loss progresses

​

Hair restoration is not a single-session solution — it's a commitment to a process. Results develop gradually as the scalp heals and hair follicles re-enter active growth. Our team at Monaco will educate you fully on what to expect and help you build a realistic plan aligned with your hair goals.

​

Benefits of Hair Restoration Treatments

The appeal of non-surgical hair restoration is significant — particularly for patients who are not ready for or interested in hair transplant surgery, who want to support their results after a transplant, or who are in the earlier stages of hair loss and want to get ahead of it before it progresses further.

​

Key benefits of our hair restoration approach include:

• Stimulates natural hair regrowth using the body's own healing mechanisms

• Improves scalp circulation and follicle health without surgery

• Non-invasive — no incisions, no stitches, no general anesthesia

• Minimal downtime — most patients return to normal activities within 24 hours

• Can be used alone or combined with PRP for enhanced results

• Appropriate for both men and women experiencing hair thinning or loss

• Addresses scalp health as a foundation for improved growth

• Customizable treatment plans based on hair loss pattern and severity

• Gradual, natural-looking improvement in density and thickness over time

• Can be integrated with other Monaco wellness services for a whole-body approach to hair health

• Safe for a wide range of hair types, textures, and loss patterns

​

Who Is a Good Candidate for Hair Restoration?

Hair restoration treatments at Monaco Aesthetics & Wellness are appropriate for both men and women experiencing early to moderate hair thinning or loss. The earlier treatment begins, the more follicles can be preserved and supported — which is why we encourage patients who are noticing changes to schedule a consultation sooner rather than waiting.

​

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Are experiencing gradual thinning or reduced hair density across the scalp

• Have noticed increased shedding or a change in your hair's overall volume

• Are dealing with postpartum hair loss or hormonal hair thinning

• Have early androgenetic alopecia (genetic hair loss) you'd like to address proactively

• Are interested in a non-surgical approach to improving hair health and growth

• Want to support and maintain your results after a hair transplant procedure

• Are in generally good health without active scalp infections or inflammatory skin conditions

​

Hair restoration treatments may be less effective for patients with complete follicle loss (where follicles are no longer viable) or advanced, long-standing hair loss. During your consultation at Monaco Aesthetics & Wellness, your provider will assess your scalp, review your hair loss history and any relevant health factors, and give you an honest, realistic picture of what treatment can achieve for your specific situation.

 

Our Hair Restoration Treatments

Scalp Microneedling

Scalp microneedling is a regenerative treatment that uses a precise, controlled device to create micro-channels in the scalp tissue. These tiny, carefully placed channels trigger the body's natural healing response — increasing blood flow to the area, stimulating the production of growth factors, and activating dormant or weakened hair follicles.

​

By creating this controlled healing environment, scalp microneedling encourages the scalp to support stronger, healthier hair growth over time. It is one of the most well-researched non-surgical hair restoration techniques available, with a growing body of clinical evidence supporting its effectiveness for both male and female pattern hair loss.

​

How scalp microneedling works: The microneedling device creates thousands of micro-injuries at a precisely calibrated depth across the scalp. In response, the body floods the area with growth factors, collagen, and increased circulation — exactly the conditions hair follicles need to shift from a resting state back into active growth. When combined with growth serums applied during the same session, these channels also allow topical treatments to penetrate far more deeply and effectively than they could on intact skin.

​

Scalp microneedling is well-suited for:

• Thinning hair and reduced scalp density

• Early androgenetic alopecia in men and women

• Stress-related or postpartum hair shedding

• Poor scalp circulation or inflammation affecting hair growth

• Patients wanting to enhance results from topical hair growth treatments

• Maintenance and prevention before hair loss progresses further

​

What to expect: Most scalp microneedling sessions take 30–60 minutes. The scalp will be cleansed and a topical numbing cream applied for comfort before treatment begins. Mild redness and scalp sensitivity for 24–48 hours after treatment is normal. Most patients return to their normal routine the following day.

​

Scalp Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

For patients seeking more advanced results, scalp microneedling can be combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) — a concentration of growth factors derived from your own blood — for a powerful, synergistic treatment approach.

​

PRP is created by drawing a small amount of the patient's blood and processing it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. This concentrated solution is rich in growth factors that naturally support tissue repair, collagen production, and cellular regeneration. When applied to the scalp during or after microneedling — taking advantage of the micro-channels created — PRP penetrates deeply into the scalp and delivers a potent dose of your body's own healing signals directly to the hair follicles.

​

The combination of scalp microneedling and PRP amplifies the regenerative response, making it one of the most effective non-surgical hair restoration options available for patients with more significant thinning or those who want to maximize their results.

​

Microneedling with PRP is particularly beneficial for:

• Patients with moderate thinning or diffuse hair loss

• Those who have not seen adequate results from microneedling alone

• Patients wanting the most comprehensive non-surgical hair restoration experience

• Anyone looking to maximize follicle reactivation and growth support

​

A consultation is required to determine which approach — microneedling alone or microneedling with PRP — is most appropriate for your hair loss pattern, scalp condition, and goals.

​

What to Expect During Your Hair Restoration Treatment

Before your appointment: No significant preparation is required for scalp microneedling. For PRP sessions, we ask that you arrive well-hydrated and have eaten a light meal beforehand. Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for several days before your appointment if possible.

​

During the treatment: Your provider will begin by thoroughly cleansing the scalp and applying a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort. Once the scalp is appropriately numbed, the microneedling treatment will be performed systematically across the treatment area. If PRP is being added, a small blood draw will be performed at the start of your appointment so the PRP can be processed and ready to apply during or immediately following microneedling.

​

Sensation: With numbing cream applied, most patients find scalp microneedling very manageable. You may feel mild pressure and warmth across the scalp during treatment. PRP application is typically painless.

​

After your treatment: The scalp will be mildly pink and sensitive for 24–48 hours. You may notice some tenderness at the treatment site, similar to a mild sunburn sensation. We recommend avoiding washing the scalp for 12–24 hours, avoiding intense sun exposure, and refraining from strenuous exercise for 24 hours post-treatment.

​

Treatment frequency: For optimal results, scalp microneedling is typically recommended as a series of treatments — often 4–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart — followed by periodic maintenance sessions. Your provider will outline a customized treatment schedule during your consultation based on your degree of hair loss and response to treatment.

​

Hair Restoration Results

Hair restoration is a gradual process — and understanding that timeline is essential to staying motivated and committed to your plan.

 

What to expect over time:

• Month 1–2: Initial scalp improvements in circulation and health; no visible hair changes yet

• Month 2–4: Shedding may temporarily increase as dormant follicles are reactivated — this is a normal and encouraging sign that the hair growth cycle is being stimulated

• Month 4–6: New growth begins to emerge; existing hair appears stronger and thicker

• Month 6–12: More significant improvement in density and hair volume; full assessment of results

 

Hair restoration results are real and measurable, but they are not dramatic overnight. Patients who commit to a full treatment series and maintenance schedule tend to see the most meaningful and lasting improvement. At Monaco Aesthetics & Wellness, we track your progress and adjust your plan as needed to keep results moving in the right direction.

​

It's also worth noting that hair restoration works best when addressed alongside any underlying health factors contributing to hair loss — such as hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, or chronic stress. Our team can help you evaluate whether any of these factors may be playing a role and connect you with the appropriate resources.

Hair Restoration FAQ

Does scalp microneedling hurt?

With topical numbing cream applied beforehand, most patients find scalp microneedling very manageable. The sensation is typically described as mild pressure or warmth across the scalp. Discomfort is generally minimal throughout the treatment.

​

How many hair restoration sessions will I need?

Most patients benefit from a series of 4–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every few months. The exact number depends on the severity of your hair loss, your scalp's response to treatment, and your overall goals. Your provider will outline a personalized schedule during your consultation.

​

When will I see results from hair restoration?

Hair restoration results are gradual. Most patients begin to notice improvement in hair strength and density around months 4–6, with more significant improvement visible at the 6–12 month mark. A temporary increase in shedding early in the treatment series is normal and typically indicates that the hair growth cycle is being reactivated.

​

Is hair restoration effective for both men and women?

Yes. Scalp microneedling and PRP are appropriate for both men and women experiencing hair thinning or loss. Treatment plans are customized based on your specific hair loss pattern, which differs between men and women.

​

What is PRP and how does it help with hair loss?

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma — a concentration of growth factors derived from your own blood. When applied to the scalp during or after microneedling, PRP delivers a potent dose of your body's natural healing signals directly to the hair follicles, amplifying the regenerative response and supporting follicle reactivation and hair regrowth.

​

Is there downtime after scalp microneedling?

Downtime is minimal. The scalp will be mildly pink and sensitive for 24–48 hours after treatment. Most patients return to their normal daily routine the following day. We recommend avoiding vigorous exercise, direct sun exposure, and washing the scalp for the first 12–24 hours after treatment.

​

Can hair restoration treatments be combined with other Monaco services?

Yes — and often, they should be. Hair loss can be influenced by hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, stress, and other systemic factors. Monaco Aesthetics & Wellness offers hormone replacement therapy, wellness injections, and Nutrigenomix DNA testing that can help identify and address underlying contributors to hair loss, making your restoration results more comprehensive and longer-lasting.

 

How do I know if I'm a candidate for hair restoration?

The best way to determine candidacy is through a personalized consultation. In general, hair restoration works best for patients with early to moderate hair loss who still have viable hair follicles. It is less effective for patients with complete, long-standing hair loss in an area. During your consultation, your provider will assess your scalp and give you an honest evaluation.
