FAQ’s Mesotherapy

What is Mesotherapy Hair Loss Treatment?

The mesotherapy technique uses scalp microinjections of the specially designed solution to rejuvenate and restore hair. The name relates to the ‘mesoderm’ (or middle layer of skin) where the solution is injected.

The Mesotherapy solution for hair restoration contains a special combination of minerals, amino acids, vitamins, nucleic acids, and co-enzymes.

The treatment restores metabolic balance at a gradual pace, which enables the steady growth of new, healthy hair strands.

What are Mesotherapy micro-injections?

As the name indicates, those injections into the scalp are very superficial. Therefore, there is no downtime and you can return to your daily activities immediately after.

Is Mesotherapy treatment effective?

Mesotherapy can successfully restore volume to thinning hair and stimulate hair follicles for hair regrowth.

In essence, this treatment is based on the understanding that most hair loss problems could be the result of three major issues:

• Lack of proper nutrients;
• Reduced blood circulation to the scalp;
• and hormone imbalances around the hair follicle.

What are the benefits of hair mesotherapy?

Here are some of the benefits that we commonly associate with Mesotherapy for hair:

• Non-surgical alternative for hair regrowth;
• Provides the scalp with a boost of vitamin
• Improves blood flow for hair regrowth;
• Makes your hair follicle grow faster & last longer due to active blood circulation;
• Activates the follicles for hair regrowth in both men & women;
• Contains components necessary for hair restoration or revitalisation;
• Mesogun U225 is used to inject the vial, so it takes around 15 to 30 minutes depending on the area of hair loss or thinning hairs;
• Painless procedure as we use the U225 mesogun;
• Mesotherapy is useful for hair loss, as it negates the DHT hormone, and ensure hair regrowth;
• 5 sessions of Mesotherapy treatment is required for maximum visible results;
• Mesotherapy experts at Nar London can help you determine the number of sessions required for hair loss treatment.

Is Mesotherapy for hair safe?

When administered professionally the treatment is very safe and essentially painless, with no local anesthesia or dressing to the scalp required.

Moreover, we consider mesotherapy to be more effective than many oral supplements used for hair restoration and rejuvenation. The reason is that orally administered treatments must first pass through the gastrointestinal tract. They are metabolised by the liver before they get into the bloodstream and then to the scalp and hair.

Therefore, the digestive process significantly reduces the number of nutrients (or medication) that reach the affected area. In contrast, Mesotherapy is able to deliver a much smaller dose of treatment direct to the affected area. Mesotherapy is considered to be an effective treatment for hair loss and hair restoration.

The dual action of Mesotherapy

In fact, Mesotherapy uses a dual-action process through micro-injections to the areas treated. Thus, mesotherapy employs both chemical stimulation and mechanical stimulation to the affected area. Below is more detailed information.

Mechanical Action:

As stated, the needle used to administer the solution creates micro-perforations in the affected tissue. Consequently, this induces a healing process, stimulating hair growth in the scalp. By producing more collagen and elastin, mesotherapy contributes to a healthier scalp. These substances are two building blocks within the tissue, vital for the formation of healthy skin and hair.

Chemical Action:

The active ingredients administered via microinjection stimulate the appropriate response in the scalp. The quality of the product is of the utmost importance. At Nar London, we only use the best hair treatment solutions available.

Who should have Hair Mesotherapy?

We recommend hair mesotherapy in particular to people suffering from hair thinning, hair loss and alopecia. Excessive hair loss is frequently a problem for both men and women. This treatment may also be performed as a preventive treatment.

What does Hair Mesotherapy involve?

Hair mesotherapy brings valuable benefits of improving hair quality, reducing hair loss, and in some cases, it even leads to the growth of new hair. As said earlier, the treatment consists of superficially injecting the scalp with substances that stimulate hair growth and reduce hair loss.

During the treatment, our Hair Loss Mesotherapy formula is injected directly into the scalp. While oral medications have to pass through the digestive system before being absorbed into the bloodstream, the mesotherapy formula is delivered directly to the follicles. This method enhances the effects of the nutrients and can provide more effective results than oral or topical solutions alone.

What are the indications for Hair Mesotherapy?

We should note that lifestyle, diet, and health state have a significant impact on the appearance and volume of hair. Scalp Mesotherapy is specifically recommended to those struggling with hair loss and alopecia. Excess hair loss is a common problem both among men and women. Often, women recognize the first signs of alopecia more quickly and start to tackle this problem earlier than men do.

Indications for Hair Mesotherapy:

• Hair falling out caused by inappropriate diet
• Poor circulation
• Hormonal changes
• Pregnancy and lactation
• Excessive sun radiation
• Excessive stress
• Androgenic alopecia
• Circumscribed alopecia
• Diffuse alopecia

Hair Mesotherapy recommended for:

• Women and men struggling with hair loss
• People under chronic stress, which may cause excess hair loss
• Women and men with hormonal disorders leading to hair loss – mesotherapy as a maintenance treatment until the hormonal level is rebalanced
• Mother after pregnancy – pregnancy often increases hair loss
• Female experiencing menopause
• Everyone who wants to strengthen hair, especially at the turn of seasons when hair may fall out more intensely than on average
• Male preparing for a hair transplant surgery – reconstruction of even part of the hair that hasn’t fallen out may reduce the scope of the hair transplant surgery.

When can I see results from Mesotherapy?

We cannot promise that this treatment will work for you. The fact is that the results of any hair restoration treatment always vary from individual to individual. This said, in most cases, it will take 2-3 months before results are noticeable. Although some patients report good results within a few weeks of starting treatment. However, it is better to allow three to six months for the full effect of the treatment to develop.

Is Hair Mesotherapy painful?

The treatment is not painful for most people. Moreover, we perform a scalp massage is after treatment, which allows even distribution of the ingredients into the skin.

How long does Mesotherapy hair take?

Generally, Hair Mesotherapy takes approximately 20-40 minutes. As a result, it hinders falling out of hair and lets the patient regain significant re-growth of the hair. We recommend treatments in 2 stages. During the first intense therapy stage 1 treatment per week for 1-2 months then second maintenance stage 1 treatment per month for 3-6 months.

Is Mesotherapy results permanent?

Mesotherapy for hair is not permanent. The treatment usually takes approximately 30-45 minutes and aims to hinder hair fall while promoting significant regrowth. It is important to note that the results of hair mesotherapy are temporary in nature. The microinjections stimulate the mesoderm, leading to improved hair growth, but these effects will diminish over time as the body naturally breaks down the treatment. To maintain the benefits of mesotherapy, we recommend a two-stage treatment approach. The first stage involves weekly treatments for 1-2 months to kickstart the process, followed by a maintenance stage with monthly treatments for 3-6 months.

Post-Treatment Recommendations:

• Application of the recommended scalp care products
• Remember not to use the tanning bed or the sauna
• Reduce the consumption of alcohol and smoking of tobacco
• Follow recommendations of the doctor who performed the treatment.

Mesotherapy Contraindications

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding
• Menstruation period
• Neoplastic diseases
• Taking of anticoagulants
• Diabetes

Can Mesotherapy be combined with PRP?

Yes, mesotherapy we recommend combining Mesotherapy with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and also PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin). The combination of both treatments can enhance the results and potency of the treatment.
