SCALP HEALTH & SCALP MICRONEEDLING
SCALP HEALTH : Scalp Microneedling
The Triple-Action Protocol: Microneedling, Exosomes, and Laser Technology
Thinning hair isn't just a surface issue—it’s a cellular one. At Illume Skin & Laser we combine medical-grade technology to reboot your hair follicles from the root up. Our signature treatment doesn't just manage hair loss; it actively encourages the growth of thicker, more resilient hair.
Our Professional In-Clinic Protocol
We utilize a three-stage approach designed to Open, Infuse, and Activate.
1. Precision Micro-Channeling
Using professional-grade Microneedling or Derma Rolling, we create thousands of microscopic "highways" into the scalp. This painless process bypasses the skin's protective barrier, reaching the dermal layer where dormant follicles reside.
2. Exosome Infusion
While the channels are open, we apply Hair Exosomes. These are powerful "signaling messengers" packed with growth factors and proteins. Unlike standard serums, exosomes act as a biological "reboot," instructing dormant cells to re-enter the growth (anagen) phase and strengthening the hair’s internal architecture.
3. TriSpectrum LLLT Activation
We finish every session with the Capillus TriSpectrum Laser Cap. This medical-grade Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) uses three specific wavelengths of light to energize the scalp. This "ATP Boost" provides your cells with the power needed to absorb the exosomes effectively while instantly calming redness and inflammation.
The Secret to Results: Your At-Home Success Kit
Professional treatments jumpstart the process, but consistency drives the results. To maintain your clinical progress, we provide a curated At-Home Care System tailored specifically to your biology.
Capillus Trichology Hair Care Kit (Men or Women)
A premium, multi-step system designed to optimize the scalp environment.
- Shampoo & Conditioner: Fortifies the hair shaft and removes DHT-laden sebum.
- Activator & Revitalizer: Specialized topicals that continue to nourish the follicle between clinic visits.
- Gender-Specific Formulas: Formulated to address the unique hormonal and physiological needs of both men and women.
Capillus Home Derma Roller
To keep your scalp receptive to the Trichology topicals, we include a Capillus home-use derma roller. This maintains scalp vitality and ensures your at-home products penetrate deep enough to be effective.
The Capillus Daily Habit
For the best results, we recommend using a Capillus Laser Cap for just 6 minutes a day. This daily dose of light energy keeps your follicles in an "active" state, protecting your investment and accelerating new growth. This option can be discussed with your provider at your consultation.

FAQs
Most clients find the treatment very manageable. We apply a
medical-grade topical numbing cream before the procedure to ensure you
are comfortable. You may feel a light "prickling" sensation or
vibration during the microneedling, but it is not considered painful.
Hair restoration is a cumulative process. While the scalp's health improves after one session, we generally recommend a series of 3 to 6 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart. This timeline aligns with the natural
growth cycle of your hair follicles.
Hair growth is a slow physiological process. Most clients begin to see a reduction in shedding within 4 weeks and visible new growth and thickness within 3 to 6 months.
Exosomes are not cells; they are "biotechnology messengers." They are microscopic vesicles derived from stem cells that carry a potent payload of growth factors, proteins, and signaling molecules.
When applied to the scalp, they "tell" your dormant hair follicles to wake up and return to an active growth phase.
Virtually none. Your scalp may look slightly pink (similar to a mild sunburn) for 12 to 24 hours. Most clients return to work the very
next day. We only ask that you avoid washing your hair or heavy sweating for
the first 24 hours to let the exosomes absorb fully.
Think of the exosomes as the "seeds" and the Capillus TriSpectrum light as the "sunlight." The laser light boosts
cellular energy (ATP), which helps your follicles process and utilize the
exosomes much more efficiently. Using the cap daily at home ensures that the
growth signals we start in the clinic stay "turned on." However, since we know the price of the cap is a factor, we have options that will be discussed at your consultation
This protocol is most effective for those experiencing thinning hair or early-to-mid-stage hair loss (where follicles are dormant but still alive). If an area has been completely bald for many years, the follicles may be "closed," making regrowth more difficult. A consultation is the
best way to determine if you are a candidate.
Patience is key! You may notice a significant decrease in hair shedding within the first month. Visible new growth and increased
thickness typically appear between 3 to 6 months, as it takes time for
the hair shaft to mature and emerge from the scalp.
Avoid sun exposure, tanning products, and waxing before your appointment. Shave the treatment area 24 hours prior to your session. For more information, please contact us to receive a pre-treatment email/document to help assist with any questions you may have.
Yes! This protocol is highly effective for Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL) and thinning caused by hormonal changes or stress. We provide specific Capillus Trichology Kits formulated specifically for
the unique needs of the female scalp.
The most common side effect is a mild "sunburn" sensation and redness on the scalp that lasts for 12–24 hours. Because we use sterile, single-use needles and high-purity exosomes, the risk of adverse reactions is extremely low.
To give the exosomes the best chance to absorb, we ask that you wait 24 hours before washing your hair or getting your scalp wet.
We recommend avoiding heavy exercise for 24 hours and skipping saunas, steam rooms, or swimming pools for 48 to 72 hours to prevent irritation or infection while the micro-channels are closing.
