Overview

What is Scalp Mesotherapy and who is it for?

Mesotherapy places very small amounts of active ingredients into the middle layer of the skin, close to the hair follicles. For the scalp, solutions may contain vitamins such as biotin, minerals, amino acids, hyaluronic acid, peptides or ingredients that target hormone-related thinning. The exact mix depends on your diagnosis. Before choosing it, Dr. Shilpa checks for causes such as thyroid problems or low iron, since these need treating directly.

Because the ingredients are placed right at the scalp, they do not need to pass through the gut or bloodstream first. The tiny injections also give a mild microneedling effect. Mesotherapy is used for diffuse thinning, early pattern hair loss and hair fall after illness or stress, usually alongside oral medicines and correction of any deficiencies. Sessions are quick and you can go home straight after.

Mesotherapy does not need a blood draw, which some patients prefer. It supports existing follicles and cannot regrow hair on fully bald scalp. Evidence varies depending on the solution used, and results differ between people. Dr. Shilpa will explain what is in your solution and why she has chosen it. Progress is reviewed with scalp photos, and the solution or schedule can be changed if you are not responding.

The procedure

What happens during the treatment?

  1. 1

    Diagnosis

    Dr. Shilpa examines your scalp, reviews your blood tests if needed and selects a suitable mesotherapy solution.

  2. 2

    Preparation

    The scalp is cleaned with antiseptic and numbing cream may be applied to make the injections more comfortable.

  3. 3

    Micro-injections

    The solution is delivered with a very fine needle or injector in small, evenly spaced points across the thinning areas.

  4. 4

    Review

    Sessions are repeated on schedule and progress is checked with scalp photos at follow-up visits.
