What Is Hair Mesotherapy?

Hair Mesotherapy is a non-surgical scalp treatment that delivers active ingredients directly into the skin surrounding hair follicles through a series of microinjections.

Depending on your individual needs, the injectable solution may contain:

• Vitamins
• Amino acids
• Peptides
• Hyaluronic acid
• Growth factors
• Selected medications
• Micronutrients

It is commonly recommended for:

• Early hair thinning
• Male pattern hair loss
• Female pattern hair loss
• Excessive hair shedding
• Diffuse hair thinning
• Weak hair quality

Hair Mesotherapy works best when hair follicles remain active rather than completely lost.

How Hair Mesotherapy Works

Small amounts of therapeutic ingredients are injected into the superficial scalp where hair follicles reside.

Treatment may help:

• Improve scalp circulation
• Deliver nutrients directly to follicles
• Reduce excessive shedding
• Strengthen existing hair
• Improve scalp health
• Support healthier hair growth

Because different clinics use different formulations, your dermatologist will recommend the most appropriate combination based on your diagnosis.
