What it is
Losing hair is normal, up to about 100 a day. What matters is hair loss that carries on, a scalp that is thinning, or hair that is becoming finer. The cause should be looked for before any treatment.
Why it happens
- A genetic predisposition, androgenetic alopecia, the most common cause
- A deficiency in iron, vitamin D or protein
- A thyroid disorder
- Childbirth, a high fever or a shock, with hair loss 2 to 3 months later
- Prolonged stress and certain medicines
What we can offer
What aesthetic medicine cannot do
Mesotherapy is not a treatment for androgenetic alopecia: it can support medical treatment, not replace it. It does not regrow hair where the follicle has gone. Blood tests are requested before starting.
Frequently asked questions
Are tests needed before starting?
Yes. Hair loss almost always has a cause, and blood tests are requested before starting. Treating without looking for the cause risks treating for nothing.
How many sessions are needed?
The usual protocol is 6 closely spaced sessions, then maintenance. The pace is adapted to your situation.
When is a result visible?
Hair grows slowly. Any effect is judged at 3 months at the earliest.
