Hair Mesotherapy & PRP
Scalp mesotherapy delivers microinjections of vitamins, peptides, and supportive ingredients into the scalp, while PRP uses platelet-rich plasma prepared from the patient's own blood. In selected hair-loss patterns, both may support hair density and a healthier scalp environment. They are used as adjuncts within a dermatologist-led plan, and results vary between patients.
What It Addresses
- Support for selected hair-thinning and hair-loss patterns
- Adjunct within a wider dermatologist-led hair plan
- Course of sessions planned after diagnosis and assessment
What these treatments are
Scalp mesotherapy involves a series of fine microinjections that place vitamins, peptides, and other supportive ingredients into the scalp to help maintain a healthier follicular environment. PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is prepared by drawing a small amount of the patient's own blood, concentrating the platelets, and reintroducing the plasma into the scalp.
Both are considered supportive procedures rather than stand-alone cures. In many patients they are most useful as one part of a broader hair-loss plan, alongside accurate diagnosis and any medical treatment that may be appropriate.
- Microinjections of vitamins and peptides into the scalp
- PRP prepared from the patient's own blood
- Used to support, not replace, a medical hair plan
What it targets and who it may suit
These treatments may be considered in selected hair-thinning and early hair-loss patterns, often after a dermatologic diagnosis has clarified the underlying cause. Suitability depends on the type and stage of hair loss, scalp findings, medical history, and treatment goals, which are reviewed in person.
They are not appropriate for every cause of hair loss, and some patterns respond better than others. Whether mesotherapy, PRP, or a combination is suitable is decided case by case after examination.
- Selected hair-thinning and early hair-loss patterns
- Considered after diagnosis clarifies the cause
- Suitability decided in person, not for every patient
How treatment is planned and what to expect
Both treatments are usually given as a course of sessions spaced a few weeks apart, often followed by maintenance sessions if a meaningful response is seen. The exact number of sessions, intervals, and parameters are planned after assessment based on the diagnosis and individual response.
Downtime is usually limited. Mild tenderness, redness, or minor swelling at injection sites can occur and typically settles within a short time. Aftercare instructions are given in clinic, and progress is reviewed across the course rather than judged after a single session.
- Planned as a course, with possible maintenance later
- Sessions usually spaced a few weeks apart
- Mild, short-lived tenderness or redness can occur
Results and realistic expectations
Responses vary between patients, and improvements in density or scalp condition, where they occur, tend to develop gradually over several sessions rather than immediately. These treatments may help support existing hair and the scalp, but they do not guarantee regrowth and are not a cure for progressive hair loss.
Because many hair-loss patterns are ongoing, results are best maintained as part of a continued, dermatologist-led plan. Honest expectations are discussed at consultation so that the role of each treatment is clear before starting.
- Results vary and develop gradually, not overnight
- No guarantee of regrowth; not a cure
- Best maintained within an ongoing hair plan
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is PRP or mesotherapy a cure for hair loss?
No. They are supportive treatments that may help in selected patterns, but they do not cure progressive hair loss. They work best as part of a broader, dermatologist-led plan after diagnosis.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies. A course of several sessions spaced a few weeks apart is common, sometimes followed by maintenance. The exact plan is decided after examination based on your diagnosis and response.
When might I notice a difference?
Results vary between patients and usually develop gradually over several sessions rather than immediately. Progress is reviewed across the course, not judged after one session.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is usually limited. Mild tenderness, redness, or minor swelling at the injection sites can occur and typically settles within a short time. Aftercare advice is given in clinic.
