The role of mesotherapy in the treatment of hair loss:
The role of mesotherapy cocktails in hair growth
Increasing local microcirculation in the injection area by the vasodilator substances in the cocktail.
Providing nutrients, minerals and vitamins needed for hair growth.
Correction of seborrhea and regulation of sebum secretion by injection of sebum regulating drugs.
Stimulation of healing and regeneration of surrounding tissues with the effect of microneedling created by repeated injections.
Mesotherapy and hair transplant
Mesotherapy can also be used to improve the quality of hair transplant surgery results. Some experts believe that performing mesotherapy before hair transplantation will strengthen hair follicles, increase microcirculation and better acceptance of the transplant, and performing mesotherapy after hair transplantation will be associated with faster healing of edema and hematoma, healing of wounds, and strengthening of implanted grafts.

Some important points in hair mesotherapy
The main steps of mesotherapy treatments are the same, and their main difference is in the type of drug selected and the depth and method of injection. In order to carry out the treatments, one should pay attention to the recommendations of the manufacturer of the desired drug or cocktail and act according to them.
Before the treatment, we ask the patient to wash his head at night or in the morning the day before mesotherapy.
About three minutes before starting the injection, we disinfect the treatment site with 70 degree alcohol or nanosil.
during treatment
For ease of work and better access and more accurate observation of the injection site, use a narrow tail comb.
In patients with alopecia areata, the injection site will be inside the lesion itself, and there is no need to inject in non-involved areas. If the eyebrows are affected by alopecia areata, injections are performed with the same amount and technique as scalp injections in the affected areas.
In order to reduce the anxiety and increase the confidence of the patients, we should talk with them and listen to the patients’ words during the procedure.
After treatment
The patient is advised to avoid washing, shampooing and dyeing hair for 24 hours after the treatment, and during the treatment period, avoid excessive hair washing and wash your hair at most two to three times a week.
Treatment expectations
It is expected that hair loss will stop in 90% of patients after four sessions of mesotherapy treatment. Also, in the cases of excess sebum (fat) treatment, usually the patient will reduce the need for shampoo after three sessions of treatment. Hitting will be satisfying due to the regulation of sebum production.
Usually, after three months from the start of the treatment, the regrowth of hair begins. The younger the patient, the better the response to treatment.
It is necessary to evaluate the results of the treatment at specific intervals and, if necessary, to change the program or cocktail formulation in the next sessions.
If the treatment is successful, significant changes should be observed in the trichogram results, so it is better to repeat the trichogram test after one year of treatment and compare it with the previous trichogram result.
Other tips
In rare cases, the possibility of local sensitivity in the scalp area requires the need to change the drug formulation, but systemic side effects will almost never occur.
In mesotherapy for the treatment of excessive sebum secretion, we preferably use Biotin, Bepanthen and vitamin C every three weeks.
In elderly women with age-related alopecia, drugs that stimulate the growth of remaining follicles should be used.
Note that in many people, seasonal hair loss occurs in spring and autumn. This form of shedding is normal and lasts 4 to 6 weeks.
