Mesotherapy For Hair

Thinning and loss of hair is commonly experienced by both men and women, depending on age, genetics as well as hormonal and environmental factors. In many individuals, it’s possible to prevent hair loss and to protect the health and the density of hair with treatment methods that can be applied before the hair is completely lost. Mesotherapy is commonly applied as one of these treatment methods. It involves injections of beneficial factors (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and hyaluronic acid) into the skin to increase blood circulation and to trigger and support regeneration.

In hair loss treatment, mesotherapy helps hair follicles produce more hair and stay active longer. As a non surgical treatment method, mesotherapy can also be used as a support treatment after hair transplantation in suitable candidates and is frequently preferred due to its ease of application and relative lack of pain. It’s a rather quick and less costly option for hair loss treatment and is safely applied by many specialists around the world.

Who Are Good Candidates For Hair Mesotherapy?

Most adults who experience some degree of general hair loss, thinning or just regional hair loss / thinning are suitable for hair mesotherapy. Since mesotherapy works by promoting the activity of live yet weakened hair follicles in the area, it will not be useful in areas with burns or scars. In cases where the hair is not completely lost, as long as there is no infection, eczema, etc. in the area and the general health of the patient is good, mesotherapy can be a good option. Intense smoking and alcohol consumption will decrease the effectiveness of the treatment as it adversely affects blood circulation and healing. The doctor should be informed of any current diseases, allergies, and drug use. Depending on the situation, mesotherapy may need to be postponed until certain conditions are addressed or other treatment methods should be considered. As in all other aesthetic/cosmetic applications, patients must have accurate information about the treatment and make their decision with realistic expectations.

How Is Hair Mesotherapy Done?

After the patient is examined and the necessary tests are completed, a mesotherapy mixture will be prepared, specific to the patient’s condition and the desired result. Right before the injections, the area is cleaned with an antiseptic solution. Although pain is very minimal, topical anesthesia can be applied in patients who are relatively sensitive. Afterwards, the mixture is injected into the target area in a controlled manner with a very fine-tipped special needle and the area is examined. Injections are continued until the amount that the specialist deems appropriate is reached. Finally the area is cleansed by wiping. The application is usually completed within 20-30 minutes.

Recovery After Hair Mesotherapy & The Results

Since mesotherapy is not a surgical procedure, patients can usually go back to their normal lives immediately after the treatment. The risk of any serious side effects is very low. Mild bruising and swelling in the treatment area is expected. These effects usually disappear on their own within 1-2 days. Some itchiness is also expected as the skin heals and the treatment takes effect. The area can be washed 1 day after the treatment. If the specialist has recommended any care products these should be used as instructed. A hat or bandana can be used for the first few days to protect the area from the sun and environmental effects.

It will take a few months for the effects of mesotherapy to become noticeable. Although some patients report visible improvement even after a single session, 3 sessions are usually recommended for more successful results. As the treatment is continued, the hair will become healthier and denser over time. If needed, mesotherapy can be planned and applied in combination with other hair treatments in suitable candidates.

How Much Does Hair Mesotherapy Cost?

The cost of hair mesotherapy varies depending on the patient’s condition and the determined treatment program. The best approach as usual is to first make an appointment and learn about the procedure. If after the examination, mesotherapy treatment is found to be a good option, the doctor will inform the patient in detail including the price.
