Hair Mesotherapy
Hair mesotherapy is a supportive treatment for hair loss in which components such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and hyaluronic acid—which hair follicles need—are injected directly into the scalp using very fine needles.
Shampoos and serums have a hard time penetrating the scalp’s protective barrier to reach the hair follicles. Hair mesotherapy bypasses this barrier, delivering the necessary nutrients directly to the layer where the hair follicles are located.
Hair Mesotherapy, is a treatment designed to combat hair loss, in which components such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and hyaluronic acid—which hair follicles need—are injected directly into the scalp using very fine needles.
What Is Hair Mesotherapy, and How Does It Work?
There can be many causes of hair loss: genetic and hormonal factors, seasonal changes, stress, the postpartum period, or nutritional deficiencies. The first step in proper treatment planning is to determine the cause of the hair loss during an examination.
In the procedure, a personalized mixture is administered via microinjections into the middle layer of the skin (mesoderm), where the hair follicles are located. The follicles are nourished directly, and the stimulation caused by the micro-needles also promotes circulation in the area.
Hair mesotherapy is not a one-time treatment; it is planned as a course of treatments and requires patience. For the general principles of the method, our mesotherapy page You can review it.
