Delivering the active agent locally is the point — it reaches the follicle without the systemic exposure of oral therapy. This page covers the mesotherapy appointment itself — what is prepared beforehand, what happens in the chair, and what the first hours afterwards feel like. Plan for 6-10 sessions over 3-6 months and 1 day per session.
A session takes 30-45 minutes in total, including the blood draw and centrifuge time where the protocol requires it. Topical anaesthetic cream, sometimes a cooling device or a scalp block for lower pain thresholds. There are no incisions, so nothing stronger is used.

Your scan or photographs are reviewed in person against the remote plan. Delivering the active agent locally is the point — it reaches the follicle without the systemic exposure of oral therapy.
Blood is drawn and centrifuged to concentrate the platelet fraction; spin speed and time determine the concentration you actually receive.
The thinning zones are marked in a grid so the injection points are spaced evenly rather than clustered.
Small volumes are injected into the dermal layer across the mapped grid, sometimes combined with microneedling to increase penetration.

You leave with written aftercare and the follow-up schedule fixed — for this option that means 1 day per session, with 6-10 sessions over 3-6 months in total.

A session takes 30-45 minutes in total, including the blood draw and centrifuge time where the protocol requires it.
A dermatologist or a doctor trained in the specific protocol. Ask about the centrifuge specification and the resulting platelet concentration — that is the variable that separates protocols, not the brand name.
The scalp is pink and slightly tender with small injection marks for a few hours. Some patients get a mild headache or a tight feeling on the evening of the session.
Cost and alternatives for Mesotherapy.
Compare vs alternatives → See full cost breakdown →Formulations vary — commonly biotin, vitamins, peptides and sometimes dutasteride. Ask for the exact composition in writing before starting.
Mildly. Most clinics use topical anaesthetic, and sessions take about 20 minutes.
A single session does very little. A typical induction is three to four sessions four weeks apart, then maintenance every four to six months.
A serious clinic can answer with a multiple of baseline. If the answer is vague, the protocol is not standardised.
Trichoscopy with the same lighting and the same site, before and after. Anything else is impression rather than evidence.
6-10 sessions over 3-6 months — and 1 day per session. Any quote that compresses that materially is worth a second read, because laboratory and healing time set the schedule, not the clinic diary.
PRP uses your own platelets rather than a drug cocktail; oral medication acts systemically.
Local delivery is the usual reason patients switch.
Diffuse presentations suit scalp-wide treatment.
Maintenance is what this treatment does best.
