Hair Mesotherapy — Frequently Asked Questions

Expert Answers by Dr. Erkam Caymaz, Istanbul

What is hair mesotherapy and how does it work?
Hair mesotherapy is the targeted delivery of a vitamin, mineral, amino acid, and peptide cocktail directly into the scalp dermis using ultra-fine needles. It feeds the follicle from the outside in, supporting thicker shafts, longer anagen phase, and stronger anchorage. At Dr. Erkam Caymaz's clinic it is offered standalone for hair loss or paired with Sapphire FUE to accelerate post-transplant growth.
How is mesotherapy different from PRP?
Both target follicle stimulation but the active ingredient differs. PRP uses concentrated growth factors from your own blood; mesotherapy uses a pre-formulated pharmaceutical cocktail (biotin, dexpanthenol, copper peptides, hyaluronic acid). PRP is more biologically tailored; mesotherapy is more standardised and easier to repeat. Many patients benefit from a combined protocol.
How many mesotherapy sessions are needed?
A standard course is 4-6 sessions at 2-3 week intervals, followed by maintenance every 3-6 months. Visible improvement in shaft thickness and shedding rates typically appears between sessions 3 and 5. Dr. Caymaz tailors the cocktail and session count to your scalp diagnostic at consultation. See more on our hair mesotherapy page.
Can mesotherapy be done before or after a hair transplant?
Yes. Pre-transplant, mesotherapy stabilises the recipient and donor zones and reduces shock loss risk. Post-transplant, it accelerates new graft growth and supports the native hair around the implant area. We typically begin post-op mesotherapy at week 3 once initial healing is complete.
Is mesotherapy painful or does it require downtime?
The injections are micro-fine and most patients describe the sensation as minor pin-pricks. A topical numbing cream can be applied for sensitive scalps. There is zero downtime — patients return to work and exercise the same day. For the protocol formulation, see What is a Mesotherapy Set.
