Providing mesotherapy to prevent and treat hair loss in aesthetic practice

Abstract

Although the hair growth cycle causes individuals to lose some hair every day, some people may experience excessive hair loss. In the author's experience, of the many treatments available for this indication, mesotherapy is highly effective for both the prevention and treatment of hair loss. Mesotherapy specifically targets the site of pathology and delivers therapies directly to it. The substances injected into the scalp include mixtures of natural plant extracts, homoeopathic agents, vitamins, vasodilators and medications which stimulate hair growth. As the mesotherapy cocktail reaches the target directly, avoiding metabolism by the digestive system, doses can be minimal. In this article, the author, who has been treating various hair conditions for 10 years, provides background information on hair anatomy, the hair growth cycle, hair loss, products commonly used and techniques of administration. She will also reflect on her personal experience with clients using a random sample of 50 clients. Descriptive study results are presented in this article, and the data presented can be interpreted as inferring that the treatment is associated with a high level of client satisfaction and is well tolerated.
