Hair loss can be stopped: hair mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for facial skin and hair care. Hair mesotherapy consists of subcutaneous injections of special preparations that stimulate and normalise the condition of the scalp and strengthen hair follicles. The active phase of hair development and growth is noticeably prolonged, and the blood supply that nourishes the hair is restored. As a result, the overall condition of the hair improves: it becomes thicker and stronger, and the hair structure improves.

This care method is worth trying if you have problems with hair loss (alopecia), a very damaged and dry structure (split ends), dandruff or other disorders.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

1–2 ml of the preparation is injected with a fine, short needle under the skin to a depth of approximately 2 mm. Unpleasant sensations are minimal, but local anaesthesia in the form of a gel or cream may be offered to clients with increased skin sensitivity.
Injections are made with a syringe at a distance of 10–15 mm from one another throughout the problem area. The session lasts 40–60 minutes.

The “cocktail” may contain completely different ingredients. The most commonly used are:
  • Hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid and pyruvic acid.
  • Vitamins from groups B, C, A, E and D.
  • Collagen and elastin.
  • Zinc, selenium, copper and magnesium.
  • Enzymes and amino acids.

DURATION OF THE MESOTHERAPY COURSE

The number and frequency are determined by a medical professional: a doctor or cosmetologist. Usually, this means 5–7 procedures at 7-day intervals. During this time, the skin can recover after the injections. How long the result lasts depends on the condition of your hair and the characteristics of your body.

WHAT EFFECT CAN BE EXPECTED FROM MESOTHERAPY?

Mesotherapy accelerates hair growth and prevents hair loss. In addition, thanks to natural and beneficial ingredients that nourish the hair cuticle, the hair structure improves significantly, giving it fullness and a healthy shine. Hair gains volume and density (sebum secretion is normalised). This is a cumulative procedure, so an effect should not be expected after the first treatment.

Always pay attention to contraindications. These include: 
  • pregnancy;
  • breastfeeding;
  • diabetes mellitus;
  • intolerance to any of the mesococktail ingredients used;
  • burns or wounds in the planned injection area;
  • oncological diseases;
  • blood-clotting disorders.
Before the procedure, you should consult a doctor to avoid undesirable consequences.

Are there any side effects?

As with any injection technique, scalp mesotherapy can cause skin side effects:
  • small haematomas;
  • redness;
  • skin swelling in the area where the medication is administered.

In most cases, these symptoms are a natural reaction of the body to the injection and disappear after a few days without medical intervention.
