Hair thinning, brittle hair, and hair fall are among the most common aesthetic dermatological problems today, affecting people of all genders, ages, and races. Their culprits could include genetics, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, a poor haircare routine, and/or prolonged exposure to UV radiation and pollutants. Thankfully, there is a versatile, medical-aesthetic solution- hair mesotherapy in Bangalore at Dr. Dixit Cosmetic Dermatology Clinic!
Hair mesotherapy is currently in high demand as a customizable, minimally invasive option to combat hair thinning or hair loss.
If you are not aware of hair mesotherapy, its benefits, or what the treatment entails, let us tell you about it before you make a final decision.
What is Mesotherapy and How Does it Work for Hair?
Mesotherapy is a popular cosmetic injectable treatment where a specialized cocktail of active ingredients is directly delivered into the mesoderm- the middle layer of the scalp. It provides better nourishment and health to the targeted area.
In hair mesotherapy, a solution rich in essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, growth factors, drugs, and other required botanical ingredients is directly injected into the hair roots to promote thicker, healthier, stronger hair growth. The injection provides physical stimulation of the scalp, further enhancing microcirculation to enable deep nourishment of existing hair follicles. The weak or dormant hair follicles get activated to grow new hair, and even the scalp’s environment becomes appropriate to accelerate healthier hair growth.
Key Benefits of Hair Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy holds several advantages for the scalp and hair. It can do the following:
- Improve blood flow to the scalp and hair roots
- Deeply hydrate, nourish, and rejuvenate the scalp
- Encourage healthier hair growth
- Increase hair coverage in less dense areas
- Increase hair thickness and strength
- Support scalp and hair health
- Maintain hair transplant outcomes
- Stop extensive hair fall
- Furthermore, the treatment is quick, safe, and comes with no downtime or pain.
The Procedure of Hair Mesotherapy
A hair mesotherapy session lasts about 30 minutes.
- Before using the mesotherapy injection, the professional ensures the scalp and hair are clean. Firstly, the professional divides the hair into sections to deliver the meso-solution more effectively. Also, prepare a tailored mixture of ingredients based on the patient's needs and concerns.
- Next, with the help of a sterile meso-injector/roller or microneedle/syringe, the professional injects a customized cocktail of actives 1mm deep into the targeted area of the scalp.
- To enhance the absorption of the meso-solution, the professional might use low-level laser therapy or electroporation.
What Results to Expect?
Following the hair mesotherapy session, here’s what to expect:
- Return to normal routine within 24 hours
- Noticeable hair thickness, quality, and density by 3-6 months
- Immediate, slight, and temporary swelling, discomfort, redness, or itching at the site of injection
- Better hair texture, reduced hair shedding, and early stimulation of hair growth within 2-4 weeks
- Peak improvements in treated scalp and hair after completion of the recommended course of treatment (6 to 8 mesotherapy sessions)
- Maintenance sessions are scheduled every 3-6 months to prevent the relapse of hair thinning or hair loss.
Hair Mesotherapy Aftercare Guidelines
To take full advantage of your hair mesotherapy sessions, you need to follow these post-treatment care guidelines strictly:
- Have a healthy hair diet plan
- Don’t miss follow-up schedules, as provided by the practitioner
- Take a head bath only the next day or the day after, and that too with mild, sulfate-free shampoo and lukewarm water
- Refrain from the use of saunas and steam rooms. Also, avoid vigorous physical activities and hot baths for 48 hours, as these would delay recovery
- Protect the treated scalp from direct UV exposure, harsh/scented/alcohol-based haircare products, and injuries caused by scratching or rubbing of the scalp
- Consume 6-8 glasses of water daily to keep the scalp hydrated and support the body's natural processing of the injected nutrients.
When to See a Dermatologist for Hair Mesotherapy?
