Key Takeaways

Takeaways
Local treatment, not systemic like oral meds alone.
Early androgenetic loss is a common indication.
Results build over weeks, not overnight.
Combine with proper diagnosis before injectables.

MESOTHERAPY is not a complementary medicine or an alternative medicine. It is the name of the application of medications by intradermal or subcutaneous injection. The goal of this technique is to bring affected areas and medication application areas closer to each other.

How does MESOTHERAPY Treatment work for Hair Loss?

Insight
Mesotherapy earns its place when diagnosis is clear and expectations stay local, thinning crown with intact follicles, not a slick bald plate. Otherwise patients pay for injections that cannot replace surgery.
How Does Mesotherapy Treatment Work For Hair Loss

This treatment is used to stop hair loss, improve the quality of existing hair, and activate new hair growth. Small doses of selected medications are applied to the skin by special needles. It is a local treatment that affects implicated areas.

MESOTHERAPY treatment can be applied to the scalp at certain periods. This method is superior to the other conventional drug therapies because it is a very effective treatment with a small amount of medication that would cause fewer or no side effects.

What to Expect after MESOTHERAPY?

Different types of medications are used for hair growth in MESOTHERAPY.

Few weeks after the first application improvement of hair is observed.

After six weeks, new hair begins to grow again in affected areas and becomes a regular hair structure. Applications should be repeated in a particular period.

Indications of Scalp MESOTHERAPY

  • Male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia ), early initiation of treatment is the most efficient process in men.
  • Traction Alopecia (hair loss due to traction or pulling)
  • Alopecia areata (Sycosis Vulgaris),
  • Post-natal hair loss,
  • Diffuse Hair Loss (a general hair loss, more frequent in women)
  • Some of the scalp diseases (psoriasis, lichen, seborrheic dermatitis, etc.)
  • Early initiation of treatment is effective in men.

Who are not good candidates for MESOTHERAPY?

Pregnant women, breastfeeding women, those with an immunologic disease, cancer patients, people with diabetes, and those who have anticoagulant therapy, are not suitable patients for MESOTHERAPY.

How will you use the mesotherapy sets you bought from us?

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.
