Mesotherapy for Hair Loss

Also known as mesoplasty and mesohair, Mesotherapy is a popular hair loss treatment. During the procedure, medications are injected into the scalp. It can have an effect on the epidermis, dermal connective tissue, circulation, and the immune and neurosensory systems.

Mesotherapy can help treat certain types of alopecia, such as:

  • telogen effluvium
  • androgenetic alopecia
  • alopecia areata
  • stress alopecia

The main goal of Mesotherapy is to restore hair by stimulating hair regrowth. It improves blood circulation in the scalp, supplies essential nutrients, and reduces follicle shrinking.

This hair loss treatment is based on the following premises:

  1. Most hair loss problems are caused by hormonal imbalance around hair follicles
  2. Due to a lack of nutrients essential for healthy hair, hair loss occurs.
  3. When blood circulation in the scalp is reduced it results in hair loss.

How is Mesotherapy performed?

The procedure is simple and noninvasive in nature. Most people prefer it over other hair loss treatments because it is a non-surgical treatment.

During the treatment, the doctor uses certain pharmaceutical agents like:

  • Biotin
  • Buflomedil
  • Dexenol
  • Dutasteride
  • Finasteride
  • Minoxidil
  • Organic Silicium
  • Vitamins
  • Acetyl Tetrapetide-3
  • Biochanin-A
  • PRP
  • Nano Peptides
  • Cocktails

These agents are inserted into the epidermal layer of the skin with the help of micro-injections. Once they penetrate into the scalp, they stimulate hair regrowth and promote improved hair production. As a result, new hairs grow that are better in luster and volume.

The mixture used for injecting in the scalp usually contains 2-3 agents. An effective cocktail should have principal as well as complementary ingredients. For each patient, a tailored cocktail is made based on their requirements. Currently, not a lot of information is available about the most effective combinations of ingredients. So, the ingredients and their quantities used in injection are based on a doctor’s knowledge and experience.

How many types of Mesotherapy are there?

Generally, Mesotherapy for hair loss is performed with the help of two methods. These methods are mentioned below.

 

  • Chemical Mesotherapy

 

In this method, the doctor prepares a mixture containing one or more of the following ingredients:

  • buflomedil
  • minoxidil
  • finasteride
  • dutasteride
  • biotin
  • vitamins
  • organic silicium

The prepared mixture is then injected into the mesoderm layer of the scalp. These ingredients are rich in properties that promote hair growth. They improve blood circulation, neutralize excess DHT, reduce inflammation, and stimulate collagen production. As a result, naturally healthy hair starts growing.

 

  • Mechanical Mesotherapy

 

This method is different from the chemical one because it uses micro-perforations instead of injections. The doctor uses a specialized tool to make micro-perforations in the affected area. As a result, hair growth is induced. Moreover, collagen and elastin production is also triggered and they help form new tissues in the hair.

Side Effects of Mesotherapy

Every cosmetic treatment has some risks associated with it. Most of the risks associated with Mesotherapy usually subside on their own.

However, some side effects may persist and they must be taken care of by the doctor.

Some side effects of Mesotherapy are mentioned below:

  1. Some patients have reported the development of scalp abscesses after the treatment.
  2. Other common side effects include bruising, edema, headache, itching, and pain.
  3. Sometime patients may get immediate or delayed allergic reactions to the injected ingredients.
  4. Inflammation and swelling are quite common after Mesotherapy. However, they normally subside after a day or two.
  5. Another common side effect is scalp hypersensitivity. In some cases, patients lose sensation in the scalp for a short time.
  6. Some people develop infections, pigmentation, bruising, or ulceration at the injection site.
  7. According to some studies, Mesotherapy induces hair loss and scarring in androgenic alopecia patients.
  8. In some cases, patchy alopecia has developed in patients who underwent Mesotherapy for androgenic alopecia.

Am I the right candidate for Mesotherapy for hair loss?

Anyone who needs a hair loss treatment can go for Mesotherapy, unless:

  • They are allergic to the ingredients used in injections.
  • They have diabetes.
  • They have any liver, kidney, or heart problems
  • They are pregnant or lactating.
  • They are taking anticoagulants.
  • They have infections or lesions in the affected area.

Aftercare and Touchups

Generally, Mesotherapy for hair loss takes more than one session to achieve the desired results. On average, patients go for treatment once a week for nearly 4 months. Each session completes in about half an hour.

The results will not be visible immediately. Usually, it takes at least 5 sessions before any visible improvements can be noticed.

According to patients’ reports, the results of Mesotherapy last for about a year or a year and a half. After that, the patient needs a touchup session.

The patients need to follow aftercare advice by their doctor for the best results. The patients should not:

  • leave the scalp without moisturizer
  • take a sunbath or steam bath for at least a day after the treatment
  • forget to use sunscreen
  • wax or bleach the scalp for at least a week
  • swim in chlorinated water for a week
  • exercise excessively for at least 3 days
