Mesotherapy for Hair & Scalp

Mesotherapy for hair loss involves performing micro-injections of a specialised cocktail containing vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other growth-supporting factors directly into the scalp. This technique delivers essential nutrients precisely where the hair follicles reside, aiming to improve scalp health, enhance microcirculation, and create a better environment for existing follicles to thrive.

At PRP London Clinic, Dr Hans customises mesotherapy protocols as a supportive treatment for various types of hair thinning and to maintain overall scalp vitality.

The proposed mechanisms by which scalp mesotherapy works include:

• Nutrient Delivery: Directly supplying follicles with essential vitamins (like Biotin, B-complex), minerals (like Zinc), and amino acids necessary for healthy hair production.
• Improved Microcirculation: The injections themselves, along with certain ingredients, can help stimulate blood flow to the scalp, enhancing oxygen and nutrient delivery.
• Reduced Inflammation: Some cocktail ingredients possess anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm scalp conditions contributing to hair loss.
• DHT Blocking (Potential): Some specific mesotherapy formulas may contain ingredients believed to have mild DHT-blocking effects (DHT is a hormone linked to pattern baldness), although this is less established than direct nutrient delivery.

The primary aim is to optimise the scalp environment and provide follicles with the resources needed for healthier function.

A scalp mesotherapy session with Dr Hans typically involves:

1. Consultation: Assessment of your scalp condition, hair loss pattern, and discussion of how mesotherapy fits into your overall hair restoration plan.
2. Scalp Cleansing: The treatment area on the scalp is thoroughly cleansed. Numbing cream is usually not required but can be discussed.
3. Micro-Injections: Using a very fine needle or a mesotherapy injection device, Dr Hans performs numerous small, superficial injections across the areas of thinning scalp, delivering the customised nutrient cocktail.
4. Completion: The scalp is cleansed again. There is minimal downtime; your scalp might feel slightly tender for a short period.

The procedure usually takes around 30-45 minutes.

Mesotherapy aims to improve scalp health and support existing follicles. Results are gradual and depend on consistent treatment:

• Short Term (1-3 Months): Potential reduction in hair shedding and improvements in scalp condition (less dryness or oiliness).
• Longer Term (3-6+ Months): With continued sessions, some individuals may notice an improvement in hair texture or a subtle increase in density as follicles function more optimally.

Mesotherapy is often considered a supportive therapy. A course of multiple sessions (e.g., 6-10 sessions spaced 1-4 weeks apart initially) is usually necessary to see potential benefits. Maintenance sessions are typically required.

Scalp mesotherapy can be considered for individuals:

• Experiencing diffuse hair thinning or increased shedding.
• Looking to improve overall scalp health and vitality.
• Seeking a supportive treatment alongside other hair loss therapies (e.g., PRP, Exosomes, medications).
• Wanting to provide direct nutrient delivery to the scalp.

It is generally less effective for advanced or extensive baldness where follicles are no longer viable. Dr Hans will advise on suitability during your consultation.

While all involve scalp injections, their focus differs. Mesotherapy primarily delivers external nutrients and vitamins. PRP uses your own concentrated growth factors for broader stimulation. Exosomes/Biosomes deliver potent signalling molecules for cellular regeneration. Mesotherapy can be a good foundational or complementary treatment focused on scalp nourishment.

Treatment cost is per session. A course of treatments is typically required. See the pricing table below.

Scalp mesotherapy is a safe procedure when performed by a qualified practitioner like Dr Hans using sterile techniques and appropriate solutions. Side effects are typically minor and temporary, such as slight scalp tenderness, redness, or pinpoint bruising at injection sites.
