Mesotherapy: What It Is, How It Is Done and What to Consider

Saç Ekimi

What Is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is the application of a mixture of components such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids, or of some medicines, under the skin with small injections. It can also come up as part of hair and scalp care. Mesotherapy is not a hair transplant method. It is a medical procedure and should take place at an authorised health facility, under the responsibility of authorised health professionals.

The information on this page is general and does not replace a personal assessment.

How Is Mesotherapy Carried Out?

  1. Assessment: The scalp, the type of hair loss, general health, allergies and any medication are assessed.
  2. Choosing the mixture: The health professional decides what the mixture contains.
  3. Application: The mixture is applied to the scalp with many small injections or with a special device.
  4. Aftercare information: You receive guidance on care and what to look out for.

When Can Mesotherapy Be Considered?

Suitability differs from person to person. An assessment looks at these together:

  • The type of hair loss and the condition of the scalp
  • Known allergies and sensitivity to the substances used
  • General health and any medication
  • Whether there is an infection or another skin problem on the scalp
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Your expectations

The Difference Between Mesotherapy and a Hair Transplant

A hair transplant moves follicles from a donor area to areas with hair loss. Mesotherapy does not transplant follicles. They are different treatments. For general information see the hair transplant page and the hair transplant methods page.

Expectations and Results

The effect of mesotherapy differs from person to person and with the mixture used. The level of scientific evidence can vary between treatments. Results cannot be guaranteed. Talk through your expectations with a health professional before the treatment.

Risks of Mesotherapy

As with any medical procedure, risks and temporary effects can occur. For example:

  • Pain and tenderness at the injection sites
  • Redness, swelling and bruising
  • Infection
  • Allergic reaction to the substances used

How often these occur depends on the person and the procedure. Discuss possible risks with a health professional beforehand.
