Hair loss can occur in both men and women and can be caused by many different factors. If you are bothered by hair loss and are seeking an effective solution, mesotherapy is a cutting-edge option that may be right for you.
What is Hair Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a treatment technique that combines injections of microscopic quantities of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, growth factors, and hyaluronic acid to achieve an array of aesthetic improvements. Originally developed as a pain relief treatment by a renowned French physician, mesotherapy has now been developed to remove unwanted fat, combat signs of aging, and treat alopecia.
For cosmetic treatments, it first became popular in facial skin rejuvenation, and that is still one of its most common uses. Injections are made using very fine needles in the middle layer of the skin to create a small, controlled injury that kicks off your body’s natural healing response, boosting blood circulation and collagen production. The result is firmer, brighter, better hydrated skin.
Your scalp is skin too, and that is what makes this treatment work for hair and scalp health. The same boost in circulation and direct delivery of essential nutrients gives hair follicles what they need to produce stronger, thicker strands. At Dr. Andrews Plastic Surgery, we are proud to offer mesotherapy specifically to treat hair loss.

The Mesotherapy Procedure
To begin hair mesotherapy treatment, a topical numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort. Next, a special blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and more will be injected directly into the scalp. As a bio-stimulation treatment, it biologically activates hair cells through these small injections. In turn, this reverses follicle shrinkage and boosts hair growth and thickness. Treatment is fairly quick, taking about 30 minutes to complete.
Aftercare
Following mesotherapy, the injection site may be tender for a few hours. However, there is no downtime needed, so you can feel free to return to your regular activities. Several mesotherapy sessions may be needed to achieve the desired effect. The exact number to meet your hair growth goals will vary depending on your individual case. Dr. Andrews will speak with you regarding these goals and create a personalized treatment plan with you during your consultation. Visible results of thicker, healthier, and shinier hair can be seen within 3-6 months.
Additional Hair ReGrowth Treatment Options
At Dr. Andrews Plastic Surgery, we also offer a number of other hair growth and transplant treatments, including Intradermal Dutasteride and Minoxidil injectables for androgenetic alopecia in women and men, as well as NeoGraft.
Intradermal Dutasteride and Minoxidil Injectables
Androgenic alopecia (AGA) is the most common cause of hair loss in men and women. It is characterized by a decrease in hair density in the front areas of the scalp due to the progressive breakdown of the hair follicle.
These injections are specifically formulated to address AGA, are administered in the office, and can be used separately or together. We developed our formulations and the recommended treatment protocol with Dr. Carlos Wambier. Dr. Wambier is an internationally recognized leader in the field of Cosmetic Dermatology and specializes in the treatment of alopecia using state-of-the-art treatments, including mesotherapy.
