1. How does mesotherapy for hair loss work?

• Mesotherapy is a hair restoration treatment that works by enabling the hair follicles to stay active by supplying them the nourishment needed by them.
• It is a medical procedure that is performed by duly qualified medical professionals
• Potent ingredients that have been identified to play an integral part in hair growth are supplied to the scalp, which in turn enhance hair growth.
• Mesotherapy promotes the rejuvenation of the scalp by replenishing the lost nutrition
• Sometimes, due to various reasons, the body may not absorb the essential nutrients from the food we eat. In such situations, mesotherapy helps in the direct delivery of substances that are required for hair growth.
• When the scalp receives the right nutrient, the hair follicles stay active and the rate of hair growth improves.
• The procedure is done with a high level of targeted precision and the effective mode of nutrient delivery provides great results as expected.
• Each hair follicle is an extension of your skin that is responsible for the growth of new hair.
• A hair follicle is the point of attachment of a new hair strand and has an oil gland that produces an oily substance known as sebum that keeps the scalp well moisturized.
• Hair growth occurs through a process where the hair follicle grows initially, becomes well developed, and then it differentiates before it is ready to grow hair. The substances responsible for these are many- including the Keratinocyte Growth factor (KGF).
• Mesotherapy for hair loss treatment improves the activity of the keratinocyte growth factor thereby promoting and maintaining hair growth
• Another important requirement for hair growth is an adequate blood supply. The technique used in mesotherapy induces the development of new blood vessels as well as increases the blood supply from the existing ones. When the blood supply improves, the growth of hair also improves.
• Hair loss can be a result of infection or inflammation. Common conditions include psoriasis, dandruff, folliculitis etc. When either of these occurs, the conducive environment for hair growth is compromised.
• Mesotherapy helps to combat these changes and retract the scalp condition back to a healthy state that ensures optimum hair growth
• Inflammatory conditions of the scalp are well treated by mesotherapy. When the inflammatory condition improves, hair growth is restored.
• The scalp is a very sensitive area and requires a certain kind of ecosystem to thrive well and function to its best capacity. The build-up of grime, dirt, and oil can leave a lot of debris. This excessive toxicity of the scalp can impede its function.
• Mesotherapy for hair aids in the exfoliation of the scalp which in turn improves its function and aids in healthy hair growth.

2. How is it done?

The process starts with an initial consultation with the dermatologist to determine if you are the right person for the treatment. This includes:

1. Taking a detailed medical history to assess the general health condition.
2. Running certain blood tests to determine if your parameters are within the normal permissible limits for getting the treatment
3. Trichoanalysis - This is done to take a look at the hair and scalp in extremely high magnification. Doing this gives the dermatologist a good idea about:

• Condition of the scalp
• Possible cause of hair loss
• The presence of any infection or inflammation
• Presence of build up in the scalp
• Hair density
• Hair count
• The phase of hair growth
• Hair type
• Microscopic dandruff

After determining that mesotherapy is right for you, the actual procedure begins.

The process involves injecting a solution rich in nutrients into the scalp targeted at the mesoderm layer of the skin. The substances used in mesotherapy are usually specific to the cause of hair loss as identified during the trichoanalysis.

The formulation is usually a combination of amino acids, vitamins, hormones, enzymes, and plant extracts that are beneficial for hair growth. A wide variety of compounds include minoxidil, finasteride, buflomedil, dutasteride, biotin, silicium, and D - pantothenic acid.

Prior to the treatment, an anesthetic gel may be applied to the treatment area to ease any pain and discomfort. The injections are administered by a well-qualified board-certified dermatologist. Sometimes multiple shots may be required, and a mechanical gun attached to the needle is used for better delivery.

The injections are given in 1 to 4 mm depths depending upon the need of the individual. The needle is placed at a certain angle on the scalp and a quick micro shot is given. About a drop of the solution is delivered per shot.
