Hair mesotherapy is a technique used to treat chronic hair loss, which can occur due to stress, nutritional deficiencies or genetics, and it is important that the cause of the hair loss is investigated and the scalp is evaluated by a dermatologist.
Therefore, depending on the cause, it is possible to perform the procedure, which consists of applying small injections containing substances capable of promoting hair growth, such as vitamins, amino acids and/or minoxidil, for example.
The number of sessions depends on the intensity of the hair loss, with an interval of 1 week to 15 days between sessions being recommended. It is important that hair mesotherapy is carried out by a trained professional, as this ensures results.
When is it indicated
Mesotherapy is recommended for men and women who suffer from constant hair loss due to nutritional deficiencies, poor care, stress and even genetic factors, which is the case with alopecia.
This procedure is an alternative for those people who have not obtained results or do not wish to undergo oral treatment to prevent hair loss. However, before mesotherapy is indicated, the dermatologist must carry out an assessment of the person’s scalp to check the degree of baldness and whether the root of the hair is dead, and this procedure is not recommended.
Mesotherapy is not recommended for pregnant women, breastfeeding women and people who are allergic to any of the substances used in the procedure.
How it is made
Mesotherapy is performed by a specialized dermatologist after evaluating the scalp to check the intensity of hair loss and, thus, define whether this type of treatment is the most suitable and how many sessions are necessary. Sessions are normally held at weekly or fortnightly intervals, depending on medical evaluation.
The procedure is first carried out by cleaning the region to be treated, followed by the application directly to the scalp, using a fine needle, of substances capable of improving blood circulation in the region and stimulating healthy hair growth. Normally the substance applied is a mixture of vitamins, amino acids, finasteride and minoxidil, which together work to promote hair growth and guarantee a beautiful and healthy appearance.
As it is a procedure performed directly on the scalp, the results are faster than oral treatment. However, as it is an invasive procedure, there may be local redness and swelling, and these effects resolve spontaneously.
Despite being a very effective treatment, it is important that the person acquires healthy habits to prevent hair loss in other areas of the head.
