What Is Hair Mesotherapy? Vitamin and Peptide Injections in Hair Loss

What Is Hair Mesotherapy?

Hair mesotherapy is a treatment in which B vitamins, amino acids, zinc, hyaluronic acid, growth factors and peptides are injected into the scalp with fine needles. Through these ingredients it aims to support the nourishment of the hair follicles and slow down hair loss.

What Causes Hair Loss, and Why the Examination Comes First

Hair loss does not have a single cause. The main ones are:

• An inherited tendency (androgenetic hair loss)
• Nutritional problems such as low iron, zinc or vitamins
• Thyroid and hormone disorders
• Stress, a serious illness or the period after surgery
• The period after childbirth
• Some medications and scalp diseases

The decision for treatment depends on the cause of the loss. If there is another problem underneath that needs treatment, it is dealt with first. Blood tests may be requested if needed.

What Is Assessed at the Examination?

• When the hair loss started and how it has progressed
• An examination of the scalp
• The medications you use, the illnesses you have had and your diet
• Blood tests, if they are thought to be needed

Which Types of Hair Loss Can It Be Considered For?

• Androgenetic (inherited) hair loss
• Seasonal hair loss
• Stress-related hair loss
• Hair loss after childbirth

How Is It Applied?

1. The scalp is cleaned
2. A local anesthetic is applied if needed
3. The mixture is injected with fine needles into different points on the scalp

Each session takes about 20-30 minutes.

Session Plan and Duration

Usually 4-8 sessions are recommended. The time between sessions and the total number of sessions are set by the personal plan.

When Are Results Seen?

The effect is usually felt within 2-4 weeks. Several sessions have to be completed for a clearer improvement. The hair cycle works slowly, so results are assessed over time and differ from person to person.

Hair Mesotherapy, PRP and Exosome: What Is the Difference?

Mesotherapy uses a mix of vitamins, minerals, peptides and hyaluronic acid. In hair PRP treatment plasma taken from your own blood is used, and in exosome treatment the vesicles released by cells are applied. The methods can also be planned to complement each other, depending on the goal. The exact protocol is set at the examination, based on the cause of the loss.

Aftercare

• Do not wash the hair on the day of the procedure
• Avoid saunas and steam baths
• Do not massage the scalp

Slight redness, tenderness and tiny bleeds at the injection points can appear. They usually pass quickly.

When to Contact Your Doctor
