What is capillary Mesotherapy?

Hair mesotherapy is a biostimulation treatment that biologically activates hair cells through small, painless subcutaneous injections. Mesotherapy reverses the miniaturisation of the follicle and increases hair thickness and growth.

Mesotherapy treatments are used to treat various conditions. In addition to being very effective in treating hair loss, they are widely used in beauty treatments.

For a long time, and especially in recent years, people all over the world have been working tirelessly to try to find the best method to recover lost hair.

After many tests and trials with different procedures, they have concluded that the safest and fastest way to recover lost hair is hair transplantation, the effects of which are enhanced by mesotherapy.

Hair mesotherapy is considered by specialists to be a very effective technique, which regenerates the epidermis and activates the blood circulation in the area where it is applied.

WHO IS THE HAIR MESOTHERAPY PROCEDURE SUITABLE FOR?

Mesotherapy for hair is suitable for both men and women, although we must bear in mind that not everyone can undergo treatment with this technique. Therefore, mesotherapy will not be applicable to pregnant women, nursing mothers, minors, during chemotherapy treatment, diabetics, patients suffering from heart, kidney or liver failure.

HOW DOES A CAPILLARY MESOTHERAPY SESSION TAKE PLACE?

During a hair mesotherapy session, the skin must be clean and dry and, although it is not an invasive or painful technique, in some cases an anaesthetic gel may be applied to numb the area and minimise discomfort from the puncture.

The doctor begins by injecting the areas of alopecia or where the patient wishes to stimulate hair growth. The injections are quick, multiple, with very small and thin needles, shallow and with a distance of about 2 centimetres between each one. The number of injections depends on the condition of the patient’s scalp and hair.

The duration of the sessions is between 15 and 30 minutes. The number of sessions and their frequency depend on the specific case. The results will start to show after the fourth session.

AFTER THE MESOTHERAPY SESSION

After the mesotherapy session, it is not advisable to go to moist places. In this sense, saunas, spas, swimming pools, etc. should be avoided. It is also advisable to use a sunscreen (factor 50, hat or hood). Furthermore, after a session of hair mesotherapy, it takes 48 hours for the microperforations to heal completely. During these two days, you must be very careful. It is not recommended to :

• Shampoo your hair, especially using aggressive products.
• Go to the swimming pool, sauna or solarium.
• Doing too much sport.
• Swimming in lakes or sea.
• Wearing tight hats.
• Massaging the head and neck.
• Using a hairdryer.
• Applying hairdressing products.
• Dyeing or shaving hair.
• Use of alcohol.

It is also best not to touch your head too much, scratch it, or even pick at the scabs that form.

What are the contraindications to hair mesotherapy treatment?

Hair mesotherapy treats hair loss through its complex and very intensive effect on the scalp. Some of the substances used during this treatment enter the bloodstream. The treatment therefore has certain contraindications. It is forbidden in the following cases:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Oncological and autoimmune diseases.
• Acute inflammatory processes.
• Viral and fungal diseases of the scalp.
• Haemophilia and other blood diseases.
• Aggravation of chronic visceral diseases.
• Weak immune system.

Hair mesotherapy is not recommended for minors and for patients over 60 years old. It is necessary to wait at least two weeks after recovery from a cold, viral disease, etc. to give the body time to recover.

The advantages and disadvantages of mesotherapy

Hair mesotherapy is a very effective option in the treatment of hair loss and baldness. Compared to other procedures, hair mesotherapy has the following advantages

• Few contraindications.
• Minimally invasive procedure.
• No need for a subsequent rehabilitation period.
• Highly effective.
• Positive impact on the skin.

However, like any procedure, hair mesotherapy also has some disadvantages. These include:

• The fact that it takes 5 to 15 sessions to get a serious result.
• The unpleasant sensation of the procedure, although it is not painful.

Among other things, like other non-surgical solutions for hair loss, the main drawback of hair mesotherapy is that the results will only last if the treatment is continued over time. Mesotherapy can help with the symptoms of hair loss, but it cannot change the genetic causes, making it a less permanent solution than surgical hair transplants. However, mesotherapy remains a valid choice and option for those who want to increase their hair in a short period of time without surgical treatment.
