Mesotherapy For Hair Loss: Procedure, Benefits & More

Introduction

Hair loss affects millions of people worldwide, leading many to seek effective treatments. Mesotherapy for hair has emerged as an outstanding solution, particularly for those who prefer non-surgical methods. This technique involves injecting a mixture of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and plant extracts into the scalp to promote hair growth and improve hair health.

What is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is a cosmetic treatment originally developed in France. It was first introduced by Dr. Michel Pistor in 1952. The procedure involves micro-injections of pharmaceutical and homeopathic medications, vitamins, and other ingredients into the mesoderm, the middle layer of skin. Mesotherapy is used to treat a variety of conditions, including hair loss, cellulite, and skin aging.

Mesotherapy for Hair Loss: The Procedure

The mesotherapy for hair loss procedure is a relatively straightforward procedure. Here is a step-by-step process, which includes:

Consultation and Diagnosis

Mesotherapy for hair loss begins with a thorough consultation with a dermatologist or trichologist at Adam and Eve Specialized Medical Center. During this consultation, the cause of hair loss is diagnosed, and suitability for mesotherapy as a treatment option is determined.

Preparation

The scalp is cleansed and disinfected to prevent any infections.
Topical anesthesia may be applied to minimize discomfort during the injections.

Injection

A specialized injection device or a fine needle is used to inject the mesotherapy solution into the scalp.
The solution typically contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids, co-enzymes, and nucleic acids that are essential for hair growth.
The injections are administered in a series of sessions, usually spaced one week apart initially, followed by maintenance sessions every few months.

Post-Procedure Care

Patients are advised to avoid washing their hair for at least 24 hours post-procedure.
Mild pain, swelling, or redness may occur at the injection sites, but these symptoms typically subside within a few days.

Benefits of Mesotherapy for Hair Loss

Mesotherapy offers several benefits for individuals struggling with hair loss:

Promotes Hair Growth

The nutrient-rich solution injected into the scalp stimulates hair follicles and promotes new hair growth.

Strengthens Hair Follicles

The vitamins and minerals in the solution nourish the scalp and strengthen the existing hair follicles, reducing hair thinning and breakage.

Improves Scalp Health

Mesotherapy enhances blood circulation in the scalp, ensuring that hair follicles receive the necessary nutrients and oxygen for optimal growth.

Non-Surgical and Minimally Invasive

Unlike hair transplant surgeries, mesotherapy is a non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure, making it a preferred choice for many.

Customizable Treatment

The mesotherapy solution can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the patient, addressing individual hair and scalp conditions effectively.

Increases blood circulation

The injections can enhance blood flow to the scalp, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles.

Reduces inflammation

Some ingredients in the mesotherapy solution have anti-inflammatory properties, which may help address scalp conditions contributing to hair loss.

Combines well with other treatments

Mesotherapy can be used in conjunction with other hair loss treatments for potentially enhanced results.

Ideal Candidates for Mesotherapy for Hair

While mesotherapy for hair can benefit many individuals, it may be particularly suitable for:

Those in the early stages of hair loss
Individuals with androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness)
People experiencing thinning hair due to stress or nutritional deficiencies
Those looking for a non-surgical hair restoration option
Individuals who have not responded well to topical treatments or oral medications

It's important to note that mesotherapy may not be suitable for everyone. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with certain medical conditions, or those taking specific medications should consult with our doctors at Adam and Eve Specialized Medical Center before undergoing the treatment.

Side Effects and Risks

While mesotherapy for hair loss is generally safe, it’s important to be aware of potential side effects and risks:

Mild Pain and Discomfort

Some patients may experience mild pain or discomfort during the injections, but this is usually temporary and can be managed with topical anesthesia.

Swelling and Redness

Temporary swelling and redness at the injection sites are common but typically subside within a few days.

Infection

Although rare, there is a risk of infection at the injection sites if proper hygiene is not maintained.

Allergic Reactions

Some individuals may be allergic to the components of the mesotherapy solution, leading to an allergic reaction.

Ineffectiveness:

In some cases, mesotherapy may not produce the desired results, particularly if the underlying cause of hair loss is not addressed.
