For problems with the scalp and hair, the use of subcutaneous or intradermal administration of biologically active compounds may be indicated. This technique is called mesotherapy of hair and scalp. It helps in solving a number of trichological and dermatological problems - eliminating dandruff, activating hair growth, treating baldness caused by various external influences. The technique is non-surgical and minimally invasive, suitable for any hair type, practically painless and highly effective.
Achieved effect
The effects of the manipulations performed during hair mesotherapy are achieved due to the fact that the administered biologically active cocktail directly penetrates the hair follicles, stimulating them to activity. On average, in order to obtain a relatively pronounced and noticeable effect, it is necessary to perform a series of injections every 2-3 weeks for at least three months. To obtain a sufficient and lasting effect, it is necessary to carry out successive courses of 5-10 procedures throughout the year.
Among the key effects that are achieved with hair mesotherapy in St. Petersburg:
- stimulation of the activity of hair follicles that are in the sleep stage;
- reducing the severity of hair loss due to alopecia;
- restoring the balance of the hydrolipid film on the surface of the scalp, including dryness, flaking or dry seborrhea;
- normalization of sebum separation processes, elimination of excessive oiliness in various skin pathologies;
- reducing the risk of early gray hair;
- prolongation of the period of active hair growth;
- stimulation of blood circulation in the vessels of the skin, increased metabolism;
- increase in strength, volume, thickness of hair;
- structural hair improvements.
Main Factors Causing Hair Loss
Men suffer from baldness more often than women. Moreover, the problem can appear even in youth, since in most people the loss is caused by a genetic factor.
Some people have genes in their bodies that make hair follicles sensitive to the hormone testosterone. Exposure to this biologically active substance leads to a decrease in the quality of hair nutrition, its shortening and subsequently baldness.
In addition to genetic predisposition, other factors contribute to baldness. Men are exposed to more stress, are less inclined to monitor the quality of their diet, and are less likely to use strengthening balms and perform other caring procedures. All this together also contributes to early baldness.
What components are used in scalp mesotherapy?
For each person, the trichologist selects a complex of administered biologically active compounds strictly individually. They are selected taking into account the client’s wishes, expectations and indications, age and additional criteria. The basis of cocktails for mesotherapy is vitamin and mineral components. Peptide components in combination with copper and zinc are so-called inhibitors (substances that suppress activity) of alpha reductase. This enzyme depletes hair follicles. Cocktails with B-group vitamins have metabolic effects, amino acid cocktails stimulate the formation of keratin in the hair, strengthening the hair shaft and restoring the hair structure.
In some cases, stimulants for the formation of new capillaries, agents that improve microcirculation and nutrition of the epidermis are added to the cocktails. This is, for example, coenzyme Q10 or carnitine. To restore the skin, dexpanthenol is indicated. It has a calming, regenerating effect. For dry hair, hyaluronic acid is indicated.

Gray hair treatment in Moscow
Today, the most effective method of preventing and treating gray hair is mesotherapy of the scalp. Preparations that contain large amounts of B vitamins, oligoelements, as well as precursors of the melanin pigment, which provide color, are injected into the scalp. Mesotherapy using nicotinic acid gives good results. In addition, mesotherapy improves blood flow in the scalp, which improves nutrition.
As a complement to mesotherapy, external agents with zinc, copper, and iron are also used. The selection of drugs for external use is made by the doctor at the appointment.
The principle of action of medicinal preparations is to saturate the hair and scalp with the missing microelements, vitamins, and precursors of the melanin pigment.
The therapeutic effect will appear only on growing (forming) hair. Hair that has already grown out cannot be changed; it can only be cut or dyed.
Treatment of gray hair is most effective if the cause of gray hair is metabolic disorders, external factors, lack of microelements, vitamins, and atherosclerosis.

Hair mesotherapy: what is it?
Compared to facial or body mesotherapy, hair growth injections are a relatively new technology for the treatment of trichological problems. Hair mesotherapy is equally effective in treating the problem of alopecia (loss) in both men and women. Only the strategies differ.
The effectiveness of the procedure lies in the composition of the therapeutic cocktails and the method of “delivery” of their components to the hair follicles. Hair mesotherapy involves the use of microneedles that are inserted directly into the scalp, providing a stimulating effect on the follicles. The drugs used in hair mesotherapy are delivered to the hair follicles in a targeted manner - in the form of injections.
How does the procedure work?
When carrying out mesotherapy of the scalp and hair, several variants of injection techniques are used:
- multipuncture;
- median nappage;
- superficial;
- papular.
The composition of biologically active components is administered subcutaneously - as close as possible to the follicle zone - in extremely small doses. Injections are carried out at a distance of up to 15 mm from each other. Several injections are given in the neck area to stimulate growth points. Before and after the procedure, the doctor will treat the injection sites with solutions of local antiseptics to prevent infection.
Hair mesotherapy for men
Mesotherapy is an injection technique that is prescribed in courses to solve various hair problems. During the procedures, one or more cocktails are used, selected taking into account the individual needs of patients. The injected substances actively nourish the hair, slow down and prevent baldness caused by various factors. In addition, injections heal the scalp. Mesotherapy also allows you to solve related problems: gray hair, dandruff, etc.
Due to the wide range of effects and the ability to select individual therapy, this care is indicated for men who suffer from baldness of various origins. Moreover, it is almost always recommended by cosmetologists to slow down the process.
Limitations after head mesotherapy
The procedure can be performed at any time of the year, but if it is cold outside, it is recommended to wear a hat during the procedure. In the summer, it is important to protect your head from exposure to UV rays with a scarf or hat.
Immediately after the procedure, scratching is not recommended; for 4 hours you should not touch the skin on your head with your hands or scratch it. Applying any medications to the scalp after the procedure is permissible no earlier than 12 hours later. You should not wash your hair for 2 days, especially against the background of discomfort and redness at the injection sites. Active cosmetic procedures are postponed for a week, solarium or sauna - for 3 days.
How is this procedure carried out?
Like any mesotherapy, this procedure involves the introduction of a special complex of drugs into the skin, in this case, the scalp. With such an effect, it is important to introduce the drug into the middle layers of the skin, which is why the name of the therapy comes from - “meso” means “middle”. Patients come with different, sometimes opposing problems - for example, dry or oily hair, so there is no single method. The cosmetologist selects components for administration by injection individually, taking into account many factors, such as:
- scalp problems;
- presence of hereditary diseases;
- the presence of contraindications to other treatment methods;
- systemic diseases in the patient's history.
It is the individual approach and professionalism of the cosmetologist that guarantees the high effectiveness of the procedure in mesotherapy. Traditionally, the therapeutic complex is made up of ingredients such as organic acids, amino acids, vitamins and microelements; the use of collagen and elastin, as well as homeopathic medicines, hyaluronic acid, etc. is equally important.
Intradermal injections during treatment ensure the delivery of drugs directly to the affected area, which means the effect can be expected much faster than with other methods. Mesotherapy nourishes the hair roots and can even cure alopecia, although this is a rather lengthy process. At the moment, this is the most effective way to influence hair follicles, and therefore treat baldness and problems with hair nutrition.
Indications and contraindications for mesotherapy of the scalp
Hair is the pride of every woman, but men also pay a lot of attention to it, so the scalp mesotherapy procedure is available to patients of any gender and age. Among the main indications for mesotherapy, it is worth noting seborrhea, dry, brittle and split ends, progressive baldness, itchy scalp, dandruff and other problems. Often, the patient has already tried to deal with the above hair health problems using external agents, but to no avail, so mesotherapy is sometimes the only effective method.
