“MesoHair” Treatments Aid in Hair Loss Prevention and Re-Growing New Locks
By Sam Assassa, M.D.
About 40% of women around the world will suffer from thinning hair or hair loss, while 50% of men will experience some type of hair loss by age 50. Losing hair for women is like losing their “crowning glory” while men associate hair loss with loss of youth and sex appeal. Now there is MesoHair, a series of virtually painless injections of vitamins, minerals, and DHT blockers directed into the scalp to effectively aid in hair re-growth in women experiencing certain types of hair loss and reversing male pattern baldness in men.
Mesotherapy can be used in women experiencing postpartum hair loss and peri-menopausal or menopausal hair loss. In addition, Mesotherapy has elicited a good response in younger men experiencing early stages of male pattern baldness.
Mesotherapy History
Originally a medical technique devised in 1952 by Frenchman Dr. Michel Pistor to treat such conditions as rheumatology, sports traumatology, infectious diseases, vascular diseases, and the improvement of circulation, Mesotherapy has subsequently been extremely successful in the treatment of aesthetic conditions, most commonly spot fat reduction and the elimination of cellulite. I have found that Mesotherapy used as a prolonged treatment of a series of eight to twelve monthly injections should help both men and women with hair loss. Once-a-month maintenance therapy continues to enhance the existing hair.
Mesotherapy Treatment
Mesotherapy replaces the vitamins and minerals which the body loses as we age. The medications in Mesotherapy treatments cause an increase in blood circulation to the scalp area and stimulate the hair follicles. MesoHair, through micro-injections, delivers specially formulated FDA approved concoction under the scalp straight to the hair follicles. This mixture delivers long-acting neutralizing effects on the DHT hormone produced in the body, allowing for hairs to grow. An excess of the DHT (dehydrotestosterone) hormone causes hair loss.
This is not a cure for hair loss, but certainly a safe, simple, and cost-effective option to treat certain conditions. MesoHair restoration therapy can in some cases eliminate the need for hair transplant.
