Cocktails for hair mesotherapy are medicinal preparations that are injected into the scalp to solve a number of cosmetic problems. They contain active ingredients such as synthetic and organic acids, complexes of vitamins and minerals, plant extracts, hormones and medications.
Hair mesotherapy is recommended for hair loss, brittleness, dryness or oiliness, and damaged strands. The procedure is performed using hardware and manual methods. The average cost is about 20 thousand rubles.
Composition of cocktails for hair mesotherapy
Cocktails for hair mesotherapy contain various beneficial components. They are all designed to perform specific functions. Their complex combination allows you to cope with a large number of cosmetic problems.
Main components
The composition of the cocktails is almost the same, since they contain the same components in different proportions. The main ingredients are:
- Synthetic substances , that is, those obtained artificially. These include hyaluronic acid and stem cells, that is, all products of biotechnical advances.
- The complex of minerals includes zinc, magnesium, sulfur, selenium, silicon, phosphorus, etc. They increase firmness and elasticity and are indispensable for normalizing metabolic processes.
- Vitamin complexes . Vitamins of group B are especially useful, in particular B12, A, C, E, P. They have an antioxidant effect and slow down the aging process. The use of thiamine, folic acid, riboflavin, nicotinic acid helps restore the structure of the hair shaft and reduce hair loss.
- Organic acids create a peeling effect, exfoliate dead cells, thereby helping healthy people breathe better. Plus, they stimulate the production of collagen and elastin fibers and restore elasticity. These include glycolic, polyvine, and polylactic acids.
- Extracts and decoctions of plants. The most commonly used are chamomile and ginkgo biloba. They soothe, improve blood flow, relieve irritation, and have antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects. Thanks to herbal components, the recovery process goes faster.

And here you can read more about the features of Fusion mesotherapy.
Homeopathic
Homeopathic cocktails are used to activate the body’s own internal processes. They do not have a pronounced effect, but only stimulate and organize the correct consumption of their own resources.
The result is achieved thanks to the coordinated work of all systems. Homeopathic cocktails are based on water; oils are rarely used for such purposes.
Thus, mesotherapy not only provides an immediate cosmetic effect, but also eliminates the cause of the disorders. Homeopathic components include substances based on:
- placenta;
- streptococcus;
- their intracellular enzymes;
- vitamins
Hyaluronic acid and collagen, plant extracts may also be present.
Allopathic
Allopathic cocktails for hair mesotherapy are distinguished by the fact that they cause a specific reaction in the body. With the help of such means they successfully fight alopecia. Components of plant or animal origin are used to formulate preparations.
All ingredients work together and act together. They stimulate collagen synthesis in fibroblasts, improve blood circulation, strengthen the walls of blood vessels, increase elasticity and firmness, and improve water-lipid metabolism.
They are usually recommended for dry scalp, dandruff, and split ends.
Auxiliary
Depending on the problem, the cosmetologist may include additional components. Such substances soothe the skin, increase energy, improve growth, and provide adequate nutrition to the bulbs.
"Dimexide" versus mesoscooter
It is not always possible to visit a cosmetologist or purchase a high-quality mesoscooter. But even in this case, you can stop baldness and improve hair quality. The medical drug Dimexide will help with this. You can buy it without a prescription.
Dimethyl sulfoxide is a drug with analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. It is able to penetrate deep into tissues, transporting useful substances with it. Thanks to this, it can successfully replace the needles of a mesoscooter.
For the procedure you need to prepare the following ingredients:
- dimexide;
- alpha-tocopherol acetate (vitamin E);
- pyridoxine;
- 5 drops of lavender oil;
- retinol acetate;
- a few drops of lemon juice.
Mix all ingredients, except lemon juice and lavender oil, in equal proportions. For example, 15 ml of each product. The mixture must be applied to dry scalp immediately after preparation. Make a light massage, rubbing the product into the hair roots. Put on a shower cap and wrap your head with a towel. Leave the mixture for 40 minutes. Then wash off.

Mesotherapy results
Mesotherapy for hair growth - what is this procedure?
One of the main advantages of mesotherapy for hair growth is the rapid and targeted effect of the drug immediately after administration. Intradermal injections in the case of hair mesotherapy allow the delivery of medicinal and cosmetic preparations directly to the cells of the hair root, i.e. to the “heart of the hair follicle”.
When taking medications orally, the active substances must first enter the blood through the gastrointestinal tract, and only then the circulatory system delivers them to their destination. However, once in the systemic bloodstream, the drugs reach not only the hair follicles, but also other organs and can lead to a variety of side effects.
When using external preparations in the form of ointments, creams and liquids, the preparations must be absorbed through the skin, which takes a lot of time and significantly reduces the effectiveness of the medicine, since the skin is a protective barrier that is very undesirable for anything to pass through it.
And only in the case of injection (mesotherapy) does the medicine immediately appear in full in the right place and begin to act.
Technique for introducing cocktails in beauty salons
Mesotherapy drugs are administered using different methods - non-invasive, microneedling, fractional, or manual administration of the drug with a syringe is selected.
Non-invasive
This method of delivering nutrients does not cause external damage to the skin. There are 5 main methods by which active ingredients penetrate the skin layers:
- Laser. Radiation promotes the penetration of medicinal substances.
- Electroporation. Thanks to the current, special tubules are formed through which drugs penetrate inside.
- Ionomesotherapy. In this case, galvanic current is used.
- Oxygen. Substances penetrate under the influence of gas pressure.
- Cryoprocedure. The skin is exposed to current and low temperatures.
Cryotherapy
Microneedling
A special roller with microneedles is used to administer medications. The specialist guides it to problem areas. It leaves micro-wounds through which substances enter the layers of the skin. The advantage of the method is that it is less painful than the classic one.
Fractional
To administer drugs, special devices with attachments made from bundles of microneedles are used. They allow you to cover a larger area than the classic type of mesotherapy. Plus this option is less painful.
Injectable
A specialist manually injects the mesococktail into the affected area of the scalp using a syringe and needle. If necessary, apply pain relief with cream. The advantage of this method is that the procedure is carried out precisely.
Injection mesotherapy
Choosing a mesoscooter for home treatments
It is possible to strengthen hair without the help of a cosmetologist. For home procedures, you will need to purchase a special device - a mesoscooter. Its average price is ≈ 3 thousand rubles, and its service life is about six months. The roller can only be used by one person, but mesotherapy can be performed on different parts of the body.
For home procedures, it is recommended to give preference to a device with needles 0.3 mm long. If their length is greater, severe pain is possible. Separately, you should pay attention to the material from which the needles are made. Rollerballs with titanium studs will last longer than those with steel ones.
Home treatments take longer than salon treatments. Before starting mesotherapy, it is recommended to fill the roller with medical alcohol and leave for 15 minutes. During this time, wash your hair. Dry.
Treat the scalp with an antiseptic, such as chlorhexidine. Apply the prepared cocktail to the mesoscooter and begin the procedure. Massage from the forehead to the back of the head. The procedure should last at least 40 minutes.
The used rollerball must be soaked in alcohol again. Store in a special plastic container. After the first session, small wounds may form on the scalp. This is a normal reaction.
Stages of the procedure
Head mesotherapy is carried out in the following order:
- An allergy test is performed in advance to exclude complications.
- On the day of the procedure, wash your hair. You cannot drink alcohol or take medications.
- In the cosmetologist’s office, the doctor disinfects the scalp with antiseptic agents and further cleanses it. If the patient wishes, anesthesia is performed.
- Next, the master administers the medicinal cocktail using the appropriate method.

Recommended course
Each procedure lasts about 30-60 minutes. Depending on the severity of the deficiencies, a different number of sessions is recommended. For severe symptoms, 3-5 procedures are prescribed every other day in the first week. Then another 5-9 sessions are carried out with an interval of 10-14 days. As a preventative measure, it is enough to do mesotherapy once a month.
Oxygen mesotherapy
The frequency and frequency depend on the prescribed drug.
How many procedures are needed?
The duration of the course depends on the specifics of the problem. It is individual in each case. On average, at least 5 sessions are required for:
- eliminating unpleasant symptoms;
- reducing hair loss;
- normalization of the activity of the sebaceous glands;
- improving hair growth.
Up to 15 procedures can be performed at intervals of one to two weeks. When the course is completed and a good effect is observed, the doctor gives recommendations for preventive repetition of injections. Usually several sessions are carried out after six months or a year.

Classification
The classification of modern mesopreparations exists according to different criteria: they are distinguished by the method of administration, constituent components, injection sites, and expected effects. The variety of these parameters allows the cosmetologist to choose a ready-made cocktail or create a new one based on the goals and characteristics of the client’s skin.
By composition
What is the composition of drugs for mesotherapy:
- allopathic - natural plant components are combined with vitamins, acids, synthetic pharmaceutical substances;
- homeopathic - does not contain artificial ingredients, the effect is achieved through natural plant extracts, vitamins, and minerals.
Acids and peptides in allopathic meso-cocktails provide a rejuvenating effect, medicinal and biochemical substances provide antioxidant and healing effects. Synthetic components have a stronger effect on the mesoderm; they are used in cosmetology:
- against acne, blackheads, age-related or solar pigmentation;
- for deep cellular rejuvenation, combating wrinkles, enlarged pores;
- to increase blood circulation in connective and epithelial tissues.
Homeopathic meso-cocktails gradually stimulate cell restoration, so the cosmetic effect of their use is not immediately visible. Plant components and vitamins act from the inside. Courses of injections are prescribed to heal marks after rashes, smooth out scars, prevent excessive dry skin or regulate the production of subcutaneous sebum.
Effect on the skin
What effect do different types of drugs have?
- lipolytic - enhance metabolism, blood circulation in cells, nourish connective and epithelial tissues, improve contour and complexion;
- anti-aging - promote the synthesis of peptides and proteins (collagen, elastin) to moisturize, increase skin elasticity, smooth out wrinkles of varying depths;
- decongestants - prevent stagnation of fluid in the body, which reduces swelling, gets rid of bags under the eyes, and corrects the oval of the face;
- anti-inflammatory - soothe inflamed areas of the skin, used in the treatment of acne, blackheads, and other rashes.
Depending on the type of mesotherapy
What mesotherapy methods are used in modern cosmetology:
- traditional injection - involves pinpoint punctures of problem areas of the face or body, with the drug entering directly into the epidermis;
- fractional - used for deep injection treatment of individual parts of the face, for example the entire forehead area, to eliminate wrinkles during anti-aging therapy;
- hardware - does not cause microtraumas, since it is non-invasive, the drug is absorbed into the mesoderm using an electromagnetic field, which is emitted by a pulsating mesodevice;
- oxygen - is also not traumatic, oxygen acts on the top layer of the skin at high speed under pressure, which increases cell permeability and helps active substances absorb into the tissue.
Areas of application: face, body, hair
Mesotherapy fights aesthetic defects of any part of the body. How do these drugs work:
- fat-burning compositions for the body help improve tone, tighten loose skin after weight loss, and get rid of sagging or cellulite;
- meso-cocktails for hair are injected under the skin on the scalp to stimulate hair follicles, reduce hair loss, get rid of dandruff, and provide additional vitamin nutrition;
- Facial mesopreparations solve various cosmetic problems depending on the composition.
According to the treated area
Mesococktails for the face differ in the area of injection:
- for smoothing facial and age wrinkles on the forehead or in the area between the eyebrows, strengthening the skin in the temporal part of the head;
- to correct the contour of the face - increase the elasticity of the skin on the cheeks, highlighting the cheekbones;
- for the chin - strengthens sagging skin in the lower part of the face, models a clear line of the lips and chin;
- for the eyes - moisturize and tighten the skin, reduce dark circles under the eyes and expression wrinkles.
