Hair Mesotherapy

Hair loss is a highly distressing concern for both women and men. When shedding progresses rapidly, anxiety tends to increase even more-because hair thinning can affect self-confidence, daily life, and overall appearance.

However, you do not have to "watch" your hair loss get worse. Thanks to modern medical advancements, strengthening hair follicles and slowing down excessive shedding is often possible. One of the comfortable and effective procedures performed with new-generation techniques is Hair Mesotherapy (Scalp Mesotherapy).

Hair mesotherapy is widely preferred because it can be applied safely, does not require surgery, and may show noticeable improvement in a relatively short time. The main goal of this treatment is to nourish and revitalize hair follicles, improve scalp health, and support stronger hair growth.

At Op. Dr. Tuğba Dindar Clinic in Tekirdağ (near Istanbul, Turkey), hair mesotherapy is planned based on your scalp condition and the cause of hair loss. This approach is also ideal for international patients searching for options such as hair loss treatment in Turkey or hair mesotherapy near Istanbul.

Why Does Hair Fall Out?

There are two major factors that most commonly contribute to hair loss:

• Genetic predisposition (hereditary hair loss)
• Hormonal factors

In addition, various external and medical factors can trigger shedding, such as:

• weakening of hair follicles due to stress or poor scalp circulation
• nutritional deficiencies
• certain medications
• medical treatments affecting the body
• environmental effects and scalp sensitivity

It is also important to remember that hair naturally follows a growth cycle. Hair growth and shedding occur in three phases, and daily shedding can be completely normal.

The Hair Growth Cycle: 3 Main Phases

Anagen Phase (Growth Phase)

This is the natural hair growth stage. Approximately 85% of hair follicles are usually in the anagen phase. It often lasts around 3 years, and in some individuals it can extend up to 5 years.

Catagen Phase (Transition Phase)

This is a short transition stage that typically lasts around 3 weeks. During this period, hair strands may start becoming thinner, and pigment loss can begin. Around 2% of hair follicles are in this stage.

Telogen Phase (Shedding Phase)

In this phase, hair that has become thinner and lost pigment starts to shed. The telogen stage lasts about 3 months.

At the same time, new hair follicles begin forming under the scalp, which is why new hair strands can grow again. About 12-15% of hair follicles are typically in this stage.

Since this cycle is continuous, a certain amount of daily hair shedding is normal. However, when the number of lost strands becomes significantly higher, it may indicate a serious hair shedding problem-where hair mesotherapy can be an effective supportive treatment.

What Is Hair Mesotherapy?

Hair mesotherapy is performed using very fine needles. During the procedure, small doses are injected into the scalp through micro-injections applied to the mid-layer.

These micro-injections stimulate the dermis, the functional layer of the skin, and deliver essential components that hair follicles need, such as:

• vitamins
• minerals
• amino acids
• trace elements
• supportive regulators

Because the mesotherapy formula nourishes the follicles directly, it can be possible to observe changes in a relatively short period of time. Another advantage is that hair mesotherapy can be performed without age or gender limitation, depending on suitability.

How Does Hair Mesotherapy Work?

Hair mesotherapy should not be confused with hair transplantation. To understand the difference, it helps to know how mesotherapy affects the scalp and hair follicles.

Hair mesotherapy may:

• support existing hair strands and help them grow healthier from the root
• nourish hair follicles and strengthen them
• improve hair shine-some people notice this around 1 month after treatment
• help hair become more resistant to external factors
• strengthen the attachment of hair strands to the scalp
• provide better results when started early, especially at the beginning stage of shedding

For individuals who notice increased shedding, acting early can improve the chance of better outcomes.

Procedure Process

Hair mesotherapy is a locally applied, non-surgical treatment designed to support scalp health and improve hair strength. In many cases, high-quality results can be achieved with a relatively small number of sessions. The treatment may also be performed only on the areas where hair loss is most noticeable, making it a targeted option for both diffuse thinning and localized shedding.

At Op. Dr. Tuğba Dindar Clinic in Tekirdağ (near Istanbul, Turkey), the treatment plan is customized based on individual needs. Here is what you can expect from the procedure:

• Mesotherapy is injected into the scalp without the need for full anesthesia
• Each session typically lasts 20-25 minutes, and if needed, the number of sessions can be increased up to 10 sessions
• The injected materials are safe and designed for scalp and hair support
• The mesotherapy cocktail helps initiate follicle nourishment and strengthening in a short period of time
• Thanks to very fine needles, most patients experience little or no pain
• The session interval is usually planned as once every 2-4 weeks
• The solution may include ingredients that stimulate blood circulation, support microvascular function, help renew connective tissue, and deliver vitamins and hair-supporting building blocks
• To extend the long-term benefits, the treatment can be repeated as maintenance sessions (1-2 sessions)
• Hair mesotherapy can also be preferred for patchy or regional hair loss
• No downtime is required; patients can return to daily life, work, or travel the same day
• It is a supportive option not only for hair shedding but also for hair thinning and reduced hair density

Hair Mesotherapy for Men and Women (Hair Regrowth Support)

Hair mesotherapy may act as a supportive option for both men and women seeking hair regrowth and stronger hair density. It is also widely used to help slow down male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) when applied early and combined with proper scalp care.

This treatment can be a valuable alternative for:

• individuals experiencing increased shedding
• those with hair thinning and reduced hair volume
• patients who want to strengthen existing follicles before considering hair transplantation
• people seeking a non-surgical hair loss treatment option in Turkey, especially near Istanbul

Male pattern hair loss is a common issue worldwide, and signs such as thinning hair, reduced density, and regional shedding often progress gradually over time. In addition, some forms of hair loss may present with patchy thinning or brittle hair.

The Role of DHT and Scalp Circulation

Some studies suggest that dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a naturally occurring hormone derived from testosterone, can be one of the factors contributing to hair loss in genetically predisposed individuals. For this reason, many hair loss treatment approaches aim to protect the follicles and improve scalp conditions.

With mesotherapy techniques for hair loss, a specially prepared cocktail is injected into the scalp to:

• improve microcirculation
• deliver vitamin and nutrient support directly to follicles
• strengthen follicular function

Better scalp circulation and targeted nutrient delivery may help increase hair strength, improve hair quality, and support healthier hair growth over time. Many patients report positive outcomes regarding hair texture, thickness, and overall density when the procedure is performed in properly planned sessions.

After the Procedure

After hair mesotherapy, hair follicles may become better nourished and supported thanks to the vitamins, minerals, and hair-strengthening ingredients delivered into the scalp. For patients who choose this procedure primarily for hair loss prevention, a course of 4-6 sessions is often recommended to achieve optimal support.

In many cases, hair mesotherapy can help reduce the need for hair transplantation, or at least delay the need for a hair transplant by strengthening the existing hair roots and improving scalp conditions.

To protect the treated area and maximize the results, the following aftercare rules should be considered:

• Hair follicles are nourished more effectively after the procedure
• If hair mesotherapy is performed to reduce shedding, the treatment is usually repeated for 4-6 sessions
• After treatment, the need for hair transplantation may decrease or be postponed
• Hair should not be washed for 24 hours after the procedure
• Avoid washing the hair with very hot water
• On the day of treatment, it is essential to protect the scalp area where the mesotherapy device and needles were applied
• If your doctor recommends a special shampoo, do not use alternative products
• Hair mesotherapy is generally considered a safe procedure and is known for having minimal to no significant side effects when performed by a qualified physician
