What is Hair Mesotherapy?
Hair Mesotherapy is usually the first, minimally invasive approach to the treatment of generalized weakened hair.
It is a medical treatment that involves injecting a nutrient-rich solution into the patient’s scalp, which may include vitamins, amino acids and/or medications, designed to stimulate hair strengthening and growth.
What is Hair Mesotherapy used for?
Some of the benefits of Hair Mesotherapy include:
- Activation of blood circulation;
- Revitalization of hair follicles;
- Stimulation of accelerated hair growth;
- Increased hair thickness and density;
- Scalp hydration;
- Prevention of premature hair loss.
How does Hair Mesotherapy work?
In this type of hair treatment, the hair follicle is supplied with all the nutrients necessary to produce stronger, healthier hair, helping to counteract the progression of alopecia, in which hair becomes progressively thinner and shorter.
The treatment is administered through injections applied directly to the scalp, exclusively by a specialised and certified medical team.
Who is Hair Mesotherapy indicated for?
Hair Mesotherapy is generally indicated for the following situations:
Hair Mesotherapy is often used to treat hair loss associated with hereditary factors, in both men and women.
This condition is characterised by sudden hair loss in specific areas of the scalp. Hair Mesotherapy may be an option to help stimulate hair regrowth in these affected areas.
3. Telogen Effluvium
It is a condition characterised by excessive hair shedding caused by events such as surgery, extreme stress, childbirth, or hormonal changes. Hair Mesotherapy can help accelerate hair regeneration after these episodes.
4. Weak and Nutrient-Depleted Hair
Hair Mesotherapy is also indicated for people with weakened, damaged, or nutrient-depleted hair, as the injected nutrients can strengthen hair follicles and improve overall hair health.
5. Maintenance Treatment After Hair Transplant
It may be recommended as a complementary post–hair transplant treatment to promote healing and improve graft survival rates.
Recovery and Aftercare
After undergoing Hair Mesotherapy, it is important to follow specific aftercare guidelines to maximise the benefits of the procedure. Recommended care includes:
- It is advisable not to wash your hair for at least 24 hours after the treatment, allowing the injected substances to be fully absorbed by the scalp.
- Avoid direct sun exposure during the first 48 hours after treatment, as the scalp may be more sensitive.
- Avoid intense physical exercise or activities that cause excessive sweating for the first 24 to 48 hours after treatment.
- Do not use harsh chemical products on the hair, such as hair dyes or straightening treatments, immediately after the procedure.
- Avoid touching, scratching, or rubbing the treated scalp to prevent irritation or infection.
- Hot showers may increase scalp inflammation and discomfort, so opt for lukewarm water in the days following the treatment.
Expected Results
The duration of Hair Mesotherapy results can vary considerably depending on several factors, such as the initial condition of the scalp and hair, the type of issue being treated (for example, hair loss due to genetic factors versus hair loss caused by nutritional deficiencies), as well as the patient’s lifestyle and overall health.
On average, the results of Hair Mesotherapy may last between 4 and 6 months.
Some patients may notice that the effects of the treatment begin to diminish after a few months. This is particularly noticeable if the underlying cause of hair loss or scalp issues is not addressed (such as hormonal or genetic factors).
After the initial treatment cycle, which usually includes several sessions over a few months (the recommended minimum is 6 sessions), we advise periodic maintenance sessions to preserve the results. These maintenance sessions may be carried out every 6 to 8 months.
The expected results of Hair Mesotherapy vary from person to person, but generally may include:
1. Reduction of Hair Loss
One of the main goals of Hair Mesotherapy is to reduce hair loss. The injected nutrients help strengthen hair follicles and promote healthier hair growth.
2. Stimulation of Hair Growth
In addition to reducing hair loss, Hair Mesotherapy can stimulate the growth of new hair.
3. Increased Hair Volume
The treatment can make hair denser and more voluminous.
4. Scalp Health
The injection of vitamins and other nutrients can improve scalp health, helping to combat issues such as dandruff and psoriasis.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for results to become visible?
Results may begin to be noticed after 2 to 3 sessions, which are usually carried out at weekly or biweekly intervals. However, more significant results may take 3 to 6 months, depending on the initial condition of the hair and scalp, as well as the individual response to the treatment.
How many sessions are needed to achieve results?
Hair loss treatment through Hair Mesotherapy typically requires a minimum of 6 sessions. These sessions may be performed alone or combined with PRP Hair Treatment (Platelet-Rich Plasma).
When Hair Mesotherapy is combined with PRP, the results tend to be even more effective.
What are the side effects of Hair Mesotherapy?
To date, no side effects have been reported.

Is Hair Mesotherapy painful?
Patients may experience mild discomfort due to the injections. However, the needles used are very fine and, in most cases, no pain is reported.
What types of products are used in Hair Mesotherapy?
The products used in Hair Mesotherapy may vary, but they generally include a combination of substances designed to stimulate hair growth, improve follicle health, and reduce hair loss. These may include:
- Growth Factors
Substances such as Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) and Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) are commonly used to stimulate cellular regeneration and promote new hair growth. - Vitamins and Minerals
