Mesotherapy for hair: what is it, effectiveness, reviews, before and after photos

Beautiful and lush hair has always been and remains the standard of beauty not only for women, but also for men. When the ends of the hair split and the hair becomes dry and brittle, many begin to change care products, make medicinal masks, and resort to traditional medicine without first finding out what is causing the problem.

…

Meanwhile, for normal hair growth, it is necessary, first of all, to have healthy hair follicles and a guaranteed supply of all nutrients to them, which is successfully accomplished by hair mesotherapy - a procedure that has earned credibility for its high efficiency. To achieve the goal of having the same gorgeous hair, you need to contact a cosmetologist as soon as the first signs of a problem appear.

About the procedure

Mesotherapy is quite effective for the scalp and hair. It is considered one of the most popular procedures in modern cosmetology in the fight against various hair problems.

The procedure can cope with many troubling problems: awaken dormant hair follicles, deliver nutritional components to the hair roots, eliminate dandruff.

Indications for the procedure

Mesotherapy is recommended in the following situations:

Baldness (of any kind). Helps with hair loss.
Very slow hair growth.
Dry or oily scalp.
The appearance of dandruff.
Gray hair (at an early age).
Frequent dyeing or other actions with hair can lead to destruction of the hair structure.
Change in appearance, for the worse.
Diseases of the scalp.

Advantages and disadvantages of the procedure

If we mention mesotherapy in the context of problematic hair (the procedure is also effective for the skin of the face and body), it is worth understanding some points: what is the difference from other procedures, is the cost of such an expensive pleasure justified.

The meso cocktail is compiled individually for each patient and contains the amount of minerals and vitamins that will help achieve maximum results and get rid of existing problems.

Important! The number of procedures is also determined by the cosmetologist.

The procedure has many positive aspects

Beneficial components are delivered to the bulb, while with external methods, the upper layers of the skin do not allow foreign substances to get inside. Due to this, the bulbs are filled with vitality, as a result of which the condition of the hair improves:

they gradually stop falling out;
their growth is activated;
the activity of the sebaceous glands decreases, which is why the curls appear clean and voluminous for much longer;
blood flow and oxygen supply to the bulbs increase;
dandruff disappears.

Hair density, smoothness, shine, ease of combing and styling appear.

Important! To be sure of the result, it is worth taking photos before and after the procedure.

As a rule, after this procedure the hair feels great.

Among the negative points, only two can be highlighted.

There are contraindications.
High price.

The procedure also has its disadvantages

Advantages and indications of mesotherapy

Cocktails for mesotherapy contain vitamins, nutrients, minerals and trace elements. During the procedure, they reach the hair follicles. If you do hair meso at home, you can save money and avoid regular visits to the trichologist.

Mesotherapy affects tissue at the cellular level; it can do what no miracle mask or serum applied to the skin can do. Thanks to microinjections, nutrients penetrate the skin and are delivered to the hair follicles, due to which their healing effect is enhanced by 3-5 times. Already at the end of the first course of procedures, a lasting positive effect is observed.

Indications

split ends that cannot be stopped with masks;
dryness;
fragility;
dropping out;
increased oiliness of the scalp;
dandruff.

At the end of the course of mesotherapy at home, the natural shine and strength returns to the hair, its growth is activated, and the structure improves. If special components have been added to the injection cocktail, excess oiliness of the scalp goes away, the hair becomes less dirty and no longer requires frequent washing.

Preparations for mesotherapy

Each injection combines several useful substances - minerals, vitamins and other useful elements, which specialists select for each patient individually. One syringe can combine from 2 to 6 active ingredients.

Certain medications are used for this procedure.

Particularly useful are B vitamins, which are effective in hair growth and restoration, ensuring natural metabolism.

Such substances are also used.

Copper and zinc prevent degeneration of the hair structure. Preparations containing these components should be used for hereditary hair loss.
Hyaluronic acid – is responsible for nourishing the hair follicles, accelerating hair growth. Amino acids act as the foundation for hair and promote the formation of keratin fibers.
Growth factors - normalize blood flow to the scalp, make the roots stronger and the hair denser.
Coenzyme – fills cells with vital energy, improving hair structure.

All elements of the meso cocktail have a positive effect on hair health

Important ! The drug should not contain minoxidil. It is considered one of the most effective remedies that can combat excessive hair loss. It is used in cases where other methods do not bring results. However, this drug is very toxic and can cause many adverse reactions. Its action has not been fully disclosed, and therefore only external use is allowed.

There are ready-made cocktails for hair treatment. Their composition is selected in the most optimal way. However, such drugs, as a rule, cannot be found in mass sales and are difficult to purchase on your own. They are common in medical institutions or available from cosmetologists.

There are ready-made options for meso cocktails

Examples of drugs –

Almost all of the drugs listed below are manufactured by Mesopharm®. We do not sell these drugs and this article is not advertising, but this article was written by a mesotherapy practitioner who uses these very products in his work. You can choose any other drug, and the most important thing here is to analyze the composition of the components. The composition of the following drugs is very decent, i.e. These are not just banal vitamin complexes.

Please note that any hair mesotherapy procedure consists of 2 parts: at the beginning of each procedure, capillary mesotherapy is done with vascular drugs (in the collar area), and only after that injections of the main therapeutic drug are made directly.

1) Use of vascular drugs –

Vascular action mesopreparations are included in the basic treatment of alopecia and any other problems with hair and scalp. They improve microcirculation, improve tissue trophism, and activate lymphatic drainage. For capillary mesotherapy in trichology, the drugs used are “Artichoke”, “Gingko Biloba”, “Rutin + melito extract” or the combined drug “GAG Complex DVL Capyl”. Also, a new product can be used as a vascular drug – a drug based on recombinant angiogenin “MAIN”. The effectiveness of treatment without the use of capillary mesotherapy will be significantly lower.

Advertising

Recommendations for use: injections of vascular drugs are made at the beginning of each procedure, i.e. before using the main drug. The area of application of these drugs is “cervical-collar” - the back of the neck and the upper back (to the upper edge of the shoulder blades). Such a vascular injection is done at the beginning of each procedure, and only in the second half of the procedure is the main drug used, for example, “Hair X DNA Peptide formula”, which is injected directly into the problem areas and next to them.

2) Hair X “DNA Peptide” formula (2.0 ml) –

This drug contains a DNA-RNA complex, a complex of 5 peptides, 21 amino acids, 0.5% hyaluronic acid (with a molecular weight of 1800 kDa), all B vitamins, 0.5% organic silicon, a buffer system. It is used for the treatment of diffuse telogen effluvium hair loss, as well as in the complex therapy of androgenetic alopecia. The product moisturizes dry scalp well.

Recommendations for use: an intensive course consists of 4-6 procedures - with an interval of 1 week between procedures. Next, a maintenance course of 3-4 procedures is required (1 procedure every 2 weeks), for which either the same drug or mesotherapy cocktails with vitamins, amino acids, peptides, and DNA-RNA complexes can be used. In general, this is one of the most powerful drugs, but it is necessary to start treatment with vascular drugs aimed at improving microcirculation.

3) Hair X “Peptide” formula (1.3 ml) –

This drug is similar to the previous one. It contains a complex of 5 peptides, 21 amino acids, low molecular weight 0.3% hyaluronic acid (with a molecular weight of 300 kDa), all B vitamins + vitamins A, C, E, K, PP, microelements, a buffer system, and also in a small – the volume of the DNA-RNA complex. It is used for the treatment of diffuse telogen effluvium hair loss, as well as in the complex therapy of androgenetic alopecia.

Recommendations for use: the course of treatment and maintenance therapy are identical to the previous drug. Treatment should also begin with the use of vascular drugs aimed at improving microcirculation. By the way, the low molecular weight HA contained in the complex promotes the activation of angiogenesis, i.e. improves blood supply to follicles.

4) Dermahil for hair (5.0 ml) –

This product is no longer owned by Mesopharm® and we present it as an alternative. In the line of Dermahil preparations produced in South Korea there is such a mesopreparation as “Dermaheal HL”, which is used to treat alopecia and restore the condition of thin, weakened hair. This drug has a very complex composition, and as a result, a high allergenic load. It can be used only after an allergy test on the thin skin of the forearm (with control after 2-3 hours).

Its composition – 1) Peptides – decapeptide-4, acetyl decapeptide-3, oligopeptide-41, copper tripeptide-1. 2) Vitamins – tocopherol, retinol, nicotinamide, calcium pantothenate, cyanocobalamin, folic acid, inocitol, pyridoxine, riboflavin, thiamine nitrate, aminobenzoic acid, biotin, menadione, vitamin C. 3) Amino acids – arginine, cystine, alanine, asparagine, glutamine , histidine, hydroxyproline, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, ornithine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, taurine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, valine.

4) Minerals – composed of calcium chloride, magnesium sulfate, potassium chloride, sodium chloride, sodium phosphate. 5) Coenzymes – thiamine diphosphate, coenzyme A, flavin adenine dinucleotide, adenine nicotinamide dinucleotide. 6) Nucleic acids – adenosine cyclophosphate, cytosine, guanosine, thymine. 7) Antioxidants – ascorbic acid, glutathione. Those. as we see - a very broad composition, which will probably be undesirable for use in patients with frequent allergic reactions (especially skin rashes), with various dermatoses of any origin, in patients with bronchial asthma and diabetes mellitus.

Features of the procedure

Nowadays, specialists are opening up a huge selection of hair treatment methods for patients. In addition to financial possibilities, their choice is also influenced by the expected result from the procedure. Mesotherapy can be allopathic, in which the effect will be noticeable instantly, but it will not last as long as we would like. It can also be homeopathic, designed for long-term action, but the result will not be noticeable immediately.

Mesotherapy can be completely different in terms of the waiting time for the effect

Allopathic cocktails

They contain vitamins, minerals, elastin, collagen, vasodilators and other active ingredients.

The doctor determines the more accurate composition after a detailed examination of the hair and scalp and communication with the patient about the problems that concern him and determining the desired results.

Important! Such cocktails can quickly eliminate the problem.

Allopathic cocktails

Homeopathic cocktails

They combine only plant elements that are combined in an aqueous solution, without the use of oils and other chemical components. This composition awakens the activity of the body’s own potential, promoting the activity of the bulbs. The effect is cumulative, so you should not expect noticeable results after the first procedure.

Important! Such cocktails are suitable for those patients who, in addition to the aesthetic beauty of their hair, are concerned about the root of the problem itself.

Homeopathic cocktails

How to care for hair after mesotherapy?

It is recommended to wear a hat: in winter - to protect hair from hypothermia, in summer - from ultraviolet rays;
For 1 hour after the procedure, you should not comb your hair; for 4 hours, do not touch the scalp with your hands;
Any products can be applied to the scalp only after 12 hours;
Wash your hair no earlier than every other day.
The solarium, bathhouse, sauna, and swimming pool can also be visited after 1-2 days;
Carry out active cosmetic procedures on the scalp - no earlier than a week later.

Carrying out mesotherapy

The active ingredients are administered subcutaneously using various instruments. This or that method has a different pain threshold and duration of the procedure, as well as its possible side effects.

Manual administration of the drug

One of the popular methods, which is available even to novice specialists, is the introduction of meso-cocktail by injection. You will need syringes specially designed for such procedures, which should have a very thin needle.

Important! Among other methods, injections are the most painless, but the procedure takes the most time. The patient experiences discomfort in the back of the head and in the ear area. This method is less traumatic.

As a rule, mesococktail is administered by injection

Gun for mesotherapy

Such a device requires extreme care and caution during its use, since incorrect actions can lead to minor injuries to the head. Therefore, before agreeing to such a procedure, you should think carefully and weigh the pros and cons. When choosing a doctor, you need to make sure that you have sufficient practical experience. The gun has a built-in syringe, the insertion depth of which is adjustable.

Using such a gun, you can administer any therapeutic cocktails, the effect of which is aimed at overcoming a specific problem.

Important! Efficiency is no different from other methods of administration.

Gun for mesotherapy

Mesoinjector or mesoscooter

Hair and scalp therapy is possible using a special device - a mesoscooter. Mesoinjectors are very often used in salons. The first instrument consists of a large number of small needles inserted into a common drum. For comfortable use, the drum is attached to the handle. Due to its convenience and ease of use, it is quite popular in cosmetology practice.

Mesoscooter is often used in cosmetology

The essence of his work: the necessary preparations are applied to the scalp, which are injected under the skin using needles. The principle of its operation is similar to using a roller when working with walls.

The second device is usually used in salons. The principle of operation is identical to the gun, only many needles go under the skin. The syringe serves as the base. With one touch, a bunch of needles instantly penetrates the scalp. This procedure brings a little more pain and discomfort than with single injections with a pistol.

There is also a mesoinjector

Important! Conducting fractional treatment using a mesoinjector (Dermapen) is even possible at home, since it is very easy to use.

Using a mesoscooter at home

For example, it will not be possible to carry out injection mesotherapy on your own at home. Injections are carried out exclusively in clinical institutions, salons, as well as private specialists working at home.

The price of such treatment ranges from 2 to 5 thousand rubles per session. The cost is affected by the chosen drug, the prices set in the clinic, and the qualifications of the specialist. The duration of mesotherapy is usually no more than 30 minutes. You can find a private doctor and discuss with him a more affordable composition of the therapeutic cocktail.

The price justifies the result

Another option is a mesoscooter. Its main advantage and superiority is the possibility of independent use. However, its effect will be less noticeable compared to injections, which is due to:

insufficient depth of needle penetration;
high train costs;
needles quickly become unusable.

It is worth noting! It is important to consider the compatibility of the tools used.

If preference is given to budget options, you should use cocktails or single components. For example, a vitamin complex.

You need to carefully choose the product if you want to carry out the procedure at home

Mesotherapy for hair at home

Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the subcutaneous injection of beneficial cocktails into the skin. To improve hair health, the drug is injected into the scalp.

The benefits of mesotherapy lie not only in the composition of the meso cocktail used, which penetrates the skin. The procedure also helps to awaken natural processes and accelerate the regeneration of epithelial cells, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the technique.

Mesotherapy has many advantages:

Safety;
Minimal skin damage;
Long-term retention of results (up to a year);
Speed of obtaining the effect (most often it is noticeable after the first two sessions);
Efficiency.

Among the disadvantages of the technique, we can only note the high price of meso-cocktails, as well as the need to undergo a whole course of sessions to obtain the desired result.

Is there any pain during the procedure?

Yes. Along with the high price, pain is the main disadvantage of mesotherapy. However, it all depends on the individual pain threshold. The area of the back of the head and ears is most susceptible to injections.

After mesotherapy, you should not wash your hair, go to the pool or steam rooms for 4 days to avoid complications and discomfort. It is also worth refusing the procedure during menstruation, since the pain during this period will be much stronger.

Whether pain will be felt depends on the patient's pain threshold

What device is used?

The apparatus for carrying out the procedure is complemented by cartridges that contain from 12 to 20 needles coated with nanosilver.

Depending on the purpose of the manipulation, the attachments can be removed or replaced.

Among modern specialists, the most widely used units are Korean-made: Raffine, X-Cure, Dermopen EDR-02.

The listed devices are affordable, but at the same time have high functionality, excellent technical characteristics, and the ability to adjust the speed and depth of punctures.

Contraindications and side effects

Mesotherapy can cope with problematic hair if the follicles have lost their vitality, but are still alive. But if the problems are caused by more significant reasons - heredity and hormonal imbalance - you should not count on a miracle after injections.

A miracle doesn't always happen

All medical procedures have contraindications, and mesotherapy is no exception:

pregnancy and lactation;
individual intolerance to the constituent components;
menstruation;
endocrine system problems;
benign and malignant tumors;
damage to the skin by various types of infection.

Contraindications must be taken into account

Mesotherapy at home

It is very rare to hear about mesotherapy being carried out at home, rather than in a salon or specialized clinic. However, it is possible.

To perform this procedure, you will need a mesoscooter (a special device that looks like a wide wheel with spikes, with a comfortable handle). After purchasing this device, use it only on your head. Buy a new rollerball every 4 months. The needles of this device should be no more than 0.3 mm. It will only hurt if you purchase a device with 0.5 mm needles for the first time. They are suitable for more experienced users, those who have performed this procedure more than once. Some people buy rollers with 1 mm needles. However, they are considered dangerous and are strictly prohibited for use by experienced doctors.

Performance:

First, wash your hair thoroughly. Dry your hair.
Treat the mesoscooter with medical alcohol. Wait until it dries.
While the roller is drying, disinfect the surface of the head with the same alcohol.
Gently apply the healing cocktail to the roller. It can be purchased at many beauty salons.
Starting from the back of the head, move the mesoscooter to the forehead. You cannot roll it twice in the same place.
Once again, go through the scalp with an antiseptic.

Important! After the procedure, place the mesoscooter in medical alcohol for a day. Do not wash your hair for three days after home mesotherapy.

Points for and against

Before agreeing to the procedure, you should familiarize yourself in detail with its advantages and disadvantages. Mesotherapy has its supporters and opponents. Both opinions are worth taking into account.

pros

The main advantage of the procedure is that injections help deliver beneficial components to the hair follicles. Not a single shampoo, mask or folk remedy can cope with this. In addition, it is worth highlighting several more main advantages:

saving time. One procedure takes 20-40 minutes. It needs to be carried out a couple of times a week, while balms require daily application, in more severe cases - even several times a day. You also need to remember about pills that are taken according to a predetermined schedule;

The procedure goes quite quickly, which is nice
additional stimulating effect. As a result of destruction of the integrity of the skin, restoration processes are launched;
local impact. The drug acts specifically on the source of the problem. There is no chance of damage to the digestive system, which often happens when taking pills. Also, the drug does not reach other parts of the body, which cannot be said about balms.

Targeted impact increases the chance of getting the desired result

After the first procedure, the first results appear, the hair gradually comes to life and takes on a healthy appearance. However, significant results can be achieved only after 3-4 weeks.

Important! The maximum effect can be assessed 4-5 months after the rehabilitation course.

Minuses

The possibility of lack of results should not be excluded from attention. Even a qualified doctor cannot give a 100% guarantee that the procedure will bring weakened hair back to life, and the money will not be wasted. In addition to the main problem, it is worth considering 3 more equally pleasant factors:

painful sensations. Puncture of the skin in any case causes painful sensations, especially if there are many such injections. Some people easily cope and endure the pain, but for some it is real torture. This is influenced by the level of professionalism of the doctor, the composition of the cocktail and individual susceptibility;

You need to endure the pain
side effects. After the procedure, swelling of the skin may appear, and pain may be felt at the injection sites. Itching and the appearance of a flaky crust are also possible;
high price. The procedure is very expensive. The high-quality components included in the composition cost a lot of money, and at least ten sessions will be required for a noticeable effect. A full treatment course requires serious expenses, which not everyone can afford.

Mesotherapy for hair is not a cheap procedure

At the time of the session, you should completely trust the doctor. But this does not mean that all responsibility falls on him. It is worth making sure that all sanitary conditions are met. Gloves, syringes and other devices for the procedure should be used once and then thrown away.

Important! The new kit must be unpacked in front of the patient.

The procedure must be performed by a specialist who has everything necessary

It is worth familiarizing yourself with the origin of the components and the drug itself, and its expiration date. Also, the specialist must periodically change the needle during the session, since after 6-7 punctures it becomes dull, which causes pain.

Which composition to choose?

As a standard in salons, the composition of the meso-cocktail is selected by the master individually for each client, based on the characteristics of his hair and the desired result. At home, it is better to use ready-made preparations.

They may contain the following components:

Hyaluronic acid;
Vitamins;
Minerals;
Phospholipids;
Oils;
Plant and animal extracts;
Phospholipids.

The composition for subcutaneous administration should not contain toxic and aggressive substances that can adversely affect not only the health of the hair, but also your general well-being.

However, before using the meso-cocktail, make sure that you do not have an allergic reaction to it. To do this, apply the drug to the inner surface of the elbow, and after 3-4 hours, remove it and check the skin for a reaction. If it is not available, you can safely use the product.

Prohibitions after mesotherapy

At the end of the procedure, small wounds remain from the injections. It will take some time for them to heal. During this period, you should observe 6 strict prohibitions.

Do not wash your hair, avoid any contact with water, especially balms and shampoos. You will have to endure and walk around with dirty hair for some time (3-4 days). Water and shampoos can negatively affect the result of the procedure, and the healing process will be delayed.
Avoid exposure to sunlight. You can’t walk in the sun for 2-3 days, much less go to the solarium. Because of this, the skin loses the necessary amount of moisture, which impedes recovery.

It is necessary to protect the skin from exposure to sunlight
Don't swim. In the first 10 hours after mesotherapy, you should not take a shower or bath. The injection sites should dry well.
Do not visit saunas or swimming pools. You should avoid such places for at least 7 days. Crowded places contain large numbers of bacteria and microorganisms. They will be able to penetrate the punctured areas without much difficulty and the inflammatory process will begin.

You will have to do without saunas and swimming pools for some time
Avoid massage. Mechanical impact is unacceptable until the injection sites are completely healed. Otherwise, the regenerative process will take much longer.
Avoid alcoholic beverages. Alcohol helps dilate blood vessels. This negatively affects the effectiveness of mesotherapy.

You can't drink at all after the procedure

How is it carried out?

The specialist administers the drug using the method of microinjections under the skin of the scalp. The depth of needle insertion is 2-4 mm. A special gun can also be used for this manipulation, thanks to which it is possible to control the dosage of the administered drug. In addition, this option allows you to accurately deliver all the components of the drug directly to the hair follicles. As a result, their healthy growth is ensured.

On video, does mesotherapy help men against hair loss:

Mesotherapy is a manipulation that can be used to treat not only the scalp, but the neck and upper back. Sometimes it is in these places that the reasons why the bulbs are poorly saturated with oxygen and useful components are hidden.

After the procedure, the specialist performs a massage. Thanks to it, it is possible to distribute nutrients evenly. The duration of the treatment procedure is 40 minutes. The therapeutic course is 4-5 weeks. If the hair falls out a lot, then 3-4 procedures are necessary. Conduct every week.

It is impossible to get the full result from several procedures. If you do not have the opportunity to complete the full course of therapy, then you should not start it. The specialist is also obliged to warn about the number of manipulations that need to be completed to obtain a guaranteed effect.

You also need to be prepared for the fact that bruises may occur in the areas where injections were performed. But within a week there will be no trace of them left. For several days after the procedure, you should not wash your hair, go to the sauna or pool, or wet your strands in any way.

Should you decide on mesotherapy?

The procedure will help to cope with various problems associated with the condition of the hair and scalp, which is explained by air pollution, poor diet, and weakness of the body. However, if we are talking about a specific disease, mesotherapy cannot change the situation.

Important! The main thing is to consult and be examined by an experienced doctor.

It would be a good idea to consult a doctor

Scalp mesotherapy: the essence of the procedure

Scalp mesotherapy is a cosmetic procedure, when used in women and men, an improvement in microcirculation of blood flow and increased nutrition of the hair follicles should be observed. Through microinjections, biologically active substances are administered intradermally or subcutaneously.

Such a concentrate is designed to compensate for the lack of those essential microelements and vitamins that are not received from the daily diet (internal factor) and cosmetic hair care products (external aspect).

The procedure can only be performed by a certified specialist:

dermatologist;
dermovenerologist;
trichologist;
esthetician-cosmetologist.

It is important to determine the specific purposes for which the patient comes to the doctor:

The procedure is required to improve the vascular tone of the scalp.
There is a need to strengthen the bulbs.
It is important to slow down and completely stop atypical hair loss.
Activation of growth and awakening of new hair is required.
The skin layer needs nutrition and/or hydration with useful substances and vitamins.
The patient wants to get rid of the symptoms of seborrhea, dandruff, and itching.

A mixture of meso-cocktails for injection is selected individually for each patient. This allows you to quickly eliminate problems caused by internal and external factors.

Reviews about mesotherapy

After the procedure, each patient is left with a lot of emotions and impressions, which they happily share on forums, where, in fact, you can learn all the features, pros and cons of mesotherapy. The procedure has more positive than negative reviews.

Ekaterina, Vladivostok

“From the age of 27, I was faced with the problem of gray hair, which negatively affected my emotional state. I tried many ways to stop graying, but nothing helped as it is hereditary. Therefore, I painted it with high-quality and expensive paints. After a while, I came across an advertisement about mesotherapy, which prompted me to carry it out. The graying problem was never resolved, but I noticed other pleasant changes in my hair. Hair oiliness has decreased, hair loss has decreased, and split ends have disappeared. My story didn't end there. I found another salon that I have been going to for almost a year. Experienced professionals were able to explain to me that the problem of gray hair is associated with a hereditary predisposition, which cannot be influenced in any way. Mesotherapy can only slow down this process, but cannot stop it. But the hair will look completely different. After periodic sessions, I couldn't be happier with my hair. Despite the fact that the procedure costs a lot of money, the effect completely justifies the expense. The main thing is to turn to a real professional and not settle for dubious salons and the services of private cosmetologists who lure you in with a cheap price.”

There are a lot of positive reviews about this procedure.

Olga, Yakutsk

“I really like mesotherapy for hair, because only this procedure helps my hair become thicker. No masks or other means are of any use. Once a year I undergo a course of procedures and cannot be happier with the results! The hair looks just like new, it is soft, shiny, manageable. I recommend!"

Contraindications

Mesotherapy of the scalp in special cases is strictly prohibited. The doctor may also recommend that you refrain from doing it for a while.

List of contraindications for use:

neoplasms on the scalp;
cancer;
decompensated diabetes mellitus;
systemic diseases (vasculitis or lupus);
period of pregnancy and breastfeeding;
blood clotting diseases;
skin diseases (eczema, psoriasis, boils on the head);
predisposition to the formation of keloid scars;
period of exacerbation of chronic and infectious diseases;
diseases of the endocrine system, metabolic disorders;
epilepsy, neurosis and a number of neurological diseases;
taking certain medications and drugs from the group of anticoagulants and corticosteroids.

A dozen contraindications should be supplemented with such recommendations as abstaining from mesotherapy procedures during menstruation in women and age restrictions - up to 14 and after 65 years.

Before directly undergoing mesotherapy, it is worth finding out whether the patient has an individual intolerance to one or more components of the administered composition.

Price

The price of mesotherapy is calculated based on the cost of the product and the specialist’s work itself. Taking into account the selected composition and the reputation of the manufacturer, the price ranges from 3-4 thousand rubles. The work of a cosmetologist depends on the fame, reputation and reliability of the salon. In any case, before agreeing to the procedure, you should ask the salon and cosmetologist for the appropriate certificates.

On average, the cost of one injection of a high-quality drug ranges from 2-5 thousand rubles. However, such costs are justified by the colossal result: bald areas begin to actively heal, hair growth is activated, they become dense, smooth and healthy.

Various factors influence the cost

Important! There are cheaper injections, but the result will accordingly be different. You can buy B vitamins in pharmacies, and vasodilators are often added.

We will indicate the average cost of such a procedure in different cities of Russia.

City	Cost of one procedure
Moscow	2500 rub.
Saint Petersburg	2380 rub.
Nizhny Novgorod	1980 r.
Lipetsk	1900 rub.
Kaluga	2100 rub.
Yaroslavl	1840 rub.
Vladivostok	1560 rub.
Chelyabinsk	1730 rub.

The result of the course of procedures and its cost

The frequency and number of sessions depend on the depth of the problem. In general, the course consists of 8–10 procedures, which are carried out once a week. The first visible result is achieved after 5–7 weeks. Depending on the technique used, the drug and the number of sessions, the result lasts from six months to one and a half years. Cosmetologists recommend conducting maintenance courses once every six months.

If you decide to achieve a positive effect, you must complete the entire course of procedures prescribed by a specialist.

The average cost of one hair mesotherapy session ranges from 2,000 to 4,000 rubles. A course aimed at hair restoration may consist of 5–6 procedures. If your problem is alopecia, then you will need at least 10 sessions. The price is added up:

from the cost of the meso cocktail;
the equipment or instrument used (for example, injections using a pistol will cost more than manual injections);
payment for cosmetologist services.

Plus, you'll pay more if you go to an expensive salon.

Fractional hair technique

Fractional mesotherapy is a more modern method of hair treatment related to microneedling therapy.

This technique is less painful and more effective. During the procedure, only the problem area is injected, which distinguishes this method from the traditional procedure, in which healthy areas are also affected.

To carry out the procedure, use a device DermaPen , which resembles a pen equipped with a needle at the end. The effect of the drug is carried out evenly over the required areas due to the ideally selected distance between the needles, which are inserted into the skin, depending on the problem, to a length of 0.4 to 4 mm.

After microneedling therapy, blood circulation increases, skin renewal occurs, and hair growth is stimulated.

Most often, fractional mesotherapy is prescribed to those who suffer from apolecia, but only if hair loss occurs due to mechanical stress or metabolic disorders. If the problem is caused by hormonal imbalances, the procedure will be useless.

Indications for the procedure may be as follows::

itching;
dryness of curls, loss of shine;
presence of dandruff;
increased activity of the sebaceous glands;
hair damage after dyeing, curling.

Like any medical procedure, fractional mesotherapy has a number of contraindications:

poor blood clotting;
the presence of cancerous tumors;
any skin pathologies;
AIDS;
cholelithiasis.

The procedure consists of the following steps:

Makeup removal, in which the client’s skin is prepared for the procedure.
Preparing the device for mesotherapy: a new cartridge is installed, the length and vibration mode of the needles are selected. The parameters depend on the thickness of the skin and the patient’s problem.
Uniform application of the vitamin cocktail over the entire treatment area.
Work with DermaPen (processing is carried out in the direction of the massage lines). The technique of performing microneedling therapy involves both vertical and horizontal, zigzag, and spiral movements.
After completion of the treatment, the meso cocktail is reapplied, rubbed into the skin, and then the surfaces are treated with a soothing agent that will relieve hyperemia and speed up the process of penetration into the tissue.

Fractional mesotherapy can also be carried out at home, for which a special device is used - a mesoscooter, with which a “vitamin cocktail” is applied to the scalp.

However, after the first few sessions, micro-wounds may appear on the head - this is a normal phenomenon that does not require treatment.

Indications

Mesotherapy can be performed for the following problems:

baldness;
seborrhea;
early gray hair;
split ends of hair;
dandruff;
hair damaged after perming or dyeing;
systemic disease;
preparation for hair transplantation;
alopecia.

Indications for this procedure may be the consequences of fungal and other diseases of the scalp, which lead to severe hair loss.
After this, the condition of the hair noticeably improves: it becomes fuller and a beautiful shine appears. If you follow all the recommendations for caring for a certain type of hair and lead a healthy lifestyle, you can extend the effect obtained up to 2-3 years.

Side effects: in what cases should you consult a doctor?

Immediately after hair mesotherapy, you may observe an adverse reaction. It is associated with the mechanical impact of the equipment, caused by repeated puncture of sensitive skin. This reaction usually manifests itself in the form of local redness, swelling, and compaction in the puncture area. You may feel discomfort when pressing on the skin.

However, side effects usually disappear within 2-3 days, without causing any inconvenience to the girl, so there is no need to take special measures to restore tissue.

But if the procedure is performed incorrectly, low-quality drugs are used, or contraindications are not followed, negative consequences may occur:

Bruises in the injection area.
Point hemorrhages.
The occurrence of inflammatory processes in tissues.
Reaction from the liver or kidneys.
Allergic reaction.
Worsening of existing diseases.

An allergic reaction is one of the most dangerous consequences of mesotherapy, as it can lead to serious complications. If you experience the first signs of an allergy, you should consult a doctor.

Another important indicator is an increase in local or general temperature. You should not take it calmly, as this indicates the occurrence of inflammatory processes in the skin, for which the necessary measures should be taken immediately.

Post-procedure care

To prolong the results after mesotherapy, you need to follow certain rules. In the first twelve hours, avoid massage and cosmetics, and do not use masks.

Over the next two days, do not take a bath followed by washing your hair, and also hide from the scorching rays of the sun. Wear a hat for protection, preferably with a wide brim. Do not sunbathe in a solarium, and also refuse to visit the sauna.

Remember that initially problems with the condition of our hair begin from the wrong pace of life, regular psychological disorders, stressful situations, poor diet and bad habits. Therefore, the health of the scalp and beloved hair is in our hands. Therefore, do not rush to return to your old life. After the recovery course, take care of your curls so that you no longer expose your dermis to painful injections.

Please note that it is better to apply makeup two to three days before the process. Just check first to make sure there are no rashes, irritations or redness.

Advice! You can alternate cocktails until an accurate diagnosis is determined.

Indications and contraindications

Before understanding the issue, you need to study its essence. Experts distinguish two types, which differ in the use of compositions with different components. Allopathic includes vascular drugs, vitamins, hyaluronic acid and growth factors. There is an immediate effect on the hair follicles, due to which the structure improves. Homeopathic ones have a lower concentration and restore all functions of the body. Used to treat weakened strands.

Advantages:

due to subcutaneous administration, a biologically active effect on the hair occurs;
the effect is enhanced if physiotherapy is carried out simultaneously;
the risk of allergic reactions is reduced, since the effect of the substances is local.

You need to undergo treatment if:

alopecia and hair loss are caused by hormonal imbalances;
the ends quickly split and break even with regular care;
increased level of formation of sebaceous glands;
a large amount of dandruff, which specialized shampoos cannot cope with;
worries about itchy scalp;
ultraviolet radiation, diets, medications negatively affect growth rate;
the structure is damaged after frequent dyeing, perm, bleaching;
formation of bald spots after ringworm;
during pregnancy and childbirth, the body weakened;
premature aging;
preparation for transplantation;
diffuse or focal baldness;
excessive fragility and damage.

As with any injections, in our case there are temporary and absolute contraindications. The first include lactation and pregnancy, decreased immunity, inflammatory skin processes, exacerbation of chronic diseases, menstruation, as well as the use of pills that affect blood clotting. The second relates to the girl’s health condition. In case of allergies, malignant and benign tumors, endocrine, cholelithiasis and mental diseases. If you ignore the presence of these problems, otherwise serious consequences may arise.

Advice! It is important that the doctor takes an integrated approach when solving the problems of each patient. Make sure that the expert uses only high-quality products.

Technique

Fractional mesotherapy of the scalp is performed manually by a cosmetologist. First, the patient takes a lying or sitting position to provide access to the treated area.

Before using the drug itself, the doctor applies an antiseptic solution to the client’s clean scalp, then painlessly pierces it with a needle nozzle. The cosmetologist sets the top point on the head from which he will make injections.

The distance between the injection sites is approximately 1.5 cm. The needles are inserted to a depth of 1-3 mm. At the end of the procedure, the cosmetologist treats the patient's skin with an aqueous solution of chlorhexidine.

In mesotherapy against baldness, injections are mainly used. First, the doctor inserts the needles of the device into the cervical vertebrae, and then into the scalp. There is another method of carrying out the procedure: with a dermaroller (an almost automatic method of introducing a cocktail).

No special preparation is required for mesotherapy. A few days before the procedure, it is not recommended to use hair styling products. If you are taking any medications, please inform your cosmetologist in advance.

In some cases, you may need to consult an endocrinologist if the patient, for example, suffers from hormonal hair loss, or a trichologist.

To achieve maximum effect, you need to undergo 10-12 procedures. In most cases, the result is clearly visible after the first three. After every 4 sessions, it is better to take a break, first one week, then gradually increase the interval.

After completing the course, additional sessions can be held if needed. Doctors say that the results from fractional mesotherapy last up to two years.

How to choose a mesoscooter

When choosing a device to combat hair problems, pay attention to the length of the needle. A variation of 0.5 - 1.0 mm will suit you. In order not to confuse the device, let's find out what it is.

Universal for body and face (also suitable for treating nasolabial folds and supralabial wrinkles).
Narrow for nasolabial folds and eyes. Usually equipped with 2 – 3 rows of needles.
For the body, the width reaches four centimeters.

Suitable for frequent and long-term use.
In addition, check the number of needles. On a standard ram the figure reaches 200. For micro punctures at a time - 540.

The material also matters. Typically needles are made of titanium or medical steel. In the first case, they are more durable and stronger. If you come across a gold-plated copy, don’t hesitate to purchase it. It is hypoallergenic and wear-resistant.

Advice! The quality of the cocktail often depends on the manufacturer. They are all designed to treat specific conditions, so read real user reviews first. Avoid cheap options; they most likely contain a lot of chemical components.

Non-injection method

The procedure for introducing medications into the deep layers of the skin without the use of needles or mesoscooters. Depending on the type of devices used, it is divided into the following types:

Iontophoresis , in which special galvanic devices are used - microcurrent pushes therapeutic agents deep into the skin.
Phonophoresis , in which the skin is treated with ultrasound, which increases the permeability of cosmetics.
Electroporation is a fairly new technology that involves the use of a special device that sends electromagnetic pulses, under the influence of which the pores narrow and expand. As a result, beneficial medications penetrate into the deep layers of the skin.
Gas-liquid system , in which a vitamin cocktail is administered thanks to a powerful gas stream.

Despite the fact that the procedure is individual in nature (the type of drug, device for mesotherapy is selected), the general scheme is as follows:

Study of the patient’s medical record, survey to identify possible contraindications.
Clarification of problem areas.
Selection of a “vitamin cocktail”.
Cleaning the area from dirt and greasy deposits.
Application of the product and exposure to the selected device. The procedure time is from 10 minutes to half an hour.
Applying compositions to soothe the skin and consolidate the result.
Conducting maintenance sessions a month after the full course of treatment.
