Hair Mesotherapy: How Does It Revitalize Hair Follicles?

Hair Mesotherapy – Hair loss and a decline in hair quality are significant aesthetic concerns for both men and women. Among the non-surgical methods developed to address this problem, Hair Mesotherapy stands out as a targeted and effective solution. Mesotherapy is a procedure where a special “cocktail” of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and growth factors needed by hair follicles is injected directly into the middle layer of the scalp (the mesoderm) using micro-needles. This method aims to revitalize hair follicles by “feeding them from the inside” and to stop shedding. As the Görkem Kazan Hair Transplant clinic, we detail the scientific basis of hair mesotherapy and its mechanism for revitalizing hair follicles.

Shampoos, serums, or oral vitamins can lose some of their effectiveness before they reach the hair follicles. The revolutionary advantage of hair mesotherapy is that it delivers these nutritional components directly to where they are needed—the hair follicle itself—without being hindered by the circulatory system. This targeted application significantly increases the treatment’s effectiveness and speed. Mesotherapy is not just a “vitamin injection” but a scientific treatment protocol that regulates the biological cycle of the hair follicles.

The Scientific Mechanism of Hair Mesotherapy: Dual-Action Revitalization

The success of hair mesotherapy is based on the synergy of two fundamental mechanisms: the pharmacological effect of the injected cocktail and the mechanical effect created by the needling itself.

1. Pharmacological Effect: The Personalized Nutrient Cocktail

The mesotherapy cocktail is personalized according to the cause of the patient’s hair loss and their hair’s specific needs. This cocktail generally includes the following components:

• Vitamins (Biotin, B5, etc.): They support the production of keratin, the main building block of hair, strengthen hair strands, and prevent breakage.
• Minerals (Zinc, Selenium, Copper): They accelerate cell division and tissue repair. Zinc plays a key role in slowing down hair loss.
• Amino Acids (Arginine, Cysteine, etc.): They are the fundamental building blocks of the keratin protein. They increase the thickness and resilience of the hair.
• Growth Factors and Peptides: They stimulate hair follicles to promote new hair growth (the anagen phase).
• Vasodilators: They increase blood flow in the area, allowing the follicles to be better nourished.

This rich cocktail provides all the biological resources necessary for the hair follicles to survive and grow, acting as a “serum” boost. Many scientific studies published in the National Library of Medicine (NCBI) support the positive effects of such components on hair growth.

2. Mechanical Effect: Micro-Trauma and a Healing Signal

The micro-needles used during mesotherapy create a controlled micro-trauma on the scalp. The body responds by sending growth factors, stem cells, and repair cells to the area to heal these micro-injuries. This natural healing process:

• • Increases blood circulation (angiogenesis) in the area.
  • Triggers the production of collagen and elastin, improving the quality of the scalp.

– Stimulates and revitalizes the hair follicles through natural means.

This dual action makes mesotherapy a powerful tool in hair loss treatment.

The Revitalization Process: 3 Main Effects

Hair mesotherapy creates three fundamental revitalizing effects on the hair follicles:

1. Regulating the Hair Growth Cycle

The mesotherapy cocktail stimulates hair follicles in the resting (telogen) or shedding (exogen) phases, encouraging them to re-enter the active growth (anagen) phase. This both reduces the number of hairs shed and ensures new hairs emerge faster. This effect is particularly noticeable in cases of seasonal or stress-induced shedding (Telogen Effluvium).

2. Improving Follicle Quality and Slowing Miniaturization

In cases of Androgenetic Alopecia (genetic hair loss), hair follicles shrink (miniaturize) over time under the influence of the DHT hormone and produce thin, vellus-like hairs. Mesotherapy slows this miniaturization process and nourishes the follicles, increasing the diameter of the hair shafts. Hairs become thicker, stronger, and more pigmented (darker in color).

3. Improving Scalp Health

Healthy hair only grows on a healthy scalp. Mesotherapy creates an ideal environment for hair growth by increasing blood circulation in the scalp and reducing inflammation with anti-inflammatory components. This can also help resolve issues like dandruff, excessive oiliness, or dryness.

What is the Difference Between Mesotherapy and PRP?

Although both treatments are injection-based, their mechanisms differ:

• PRP: Uses the growth factors from the patient’s own blood platelets. It activates the body’s own repair power. It is a biological repair signal.
• Mesotherapy: Uses an externally prepared cocktail of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. It directly nourishes the follicles. It is a direct nutritional supplement.

These two treatments are not alternatives but complements to each other. When used together or alternately, they create a synergistic effect in hair loss treatment, maximizing success.

Who is it Suitable For and What Should the Treatment Protocol Be?

Hair mesotherapy is suitable for anyone whose hair follicles are still alive but are weakened or prone to shedding. It is especially ideal for:

• Those in the early stages of genetic hair loss,
• Those experiencing stress or seasonal shedding,
• Those suffering from female pattern diffuse hair loss,
• Those who want to strengthen transplanted grafts after FUE or DHI hair transplantation.

The treatment usually begins with an initial protocol of 4–6 sessions, 2 weeks apart. Once the results are stabilized, maintenance sessions are recommended every 3–6 months to sustain the effect. The cause of your hair loss must be determined with a comprehensive hair analysis before starting treatment.

Hair mesotherapy is a scientifically proven, safe, and effective method to revitalize your hair follicles. By delivering the nutrients your hair needs directly to the roots, it helps you achieve healthier, stronger, and fuller hair.
