When alopecia occurs in severe form, some cosmetic products and pharmaceuticals are not enough to eliminate it. For treatment use special nyxes against hair loss. Injections can be done intravenously / intramuscularly with vitamin and fortifying agents. It is also possible to inject directly into the scalp, that is mesotherapy. This method is effective for intensive baldness in women, dandruff, the appearance of early gray hair.
Indications for the procedure
Indications for mesotherapy:
- Pathological hair loss.
- Alopecia androgenic type.
- Dryness and increased brittle hair.
- Skin itching without rashes and seborrhea.
- Section and stratification of the ends of the strands.
- Normalization of sebum.
The injections against hair loss do not eliminate the external factors that caused the problem, but are struggling with it locally. Mesotherapy effectively cleanses the scalp and saturates the bulbs with nutrients.
Injections under the skin allow you to quickly deliver the necessary micronutrients to the follicles, thereby stimulating the growth of new hair structures. For the procedure, use special vitamin cocktails or individual substances in ampoules. In severe baldness apply vitamins B, A, C, E, E, as well as various minerals (iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc).
Preparation
The procedure is carried out by a cosmetologist or trichologist. Before the procedure, it is necessary to undergo special training:
- First of all, 2-3 days before the session, stop using the styling products (lacquer, foam, gel).
- It is necessary to limit the intake of pain medications and other medications, as they can provoke severe bleeding.
- Also, you need to wash your hair on the day of the procedure and 3 days after it, otherwise the effect of treatment will be minimal.
Technique of the injections of hair loss in women
Mezoukoly spend on the technology of micropapules. That is, any point in the upper part of the head is taken as a basis and from it radial rays are injected with a distance of 10-15 mm. A few injections are done in the neck, as there are points of activation of the growth of the curls on it.
For injections use multicomponent drugs. The composition of a single injection can include from 2 to 5 substances, which are selected by the doctor, individually for each patient. Most often for the treatment of female baldness use such drugs:
- B group vitamins normalize metabolic processes at the cellular level, promote the formation of hair pigment, improve the structure of ringlets.
- Amino acids - contribute to the formation of keratin fibers, that is, they are the building blocks of healthy strands.
- Coenzyme Q10 - stimulates the hair follicles, increases their strength. It enhances microcirculation, rejuvenates cells.
- Hyaluronic acid - activates metabolic processes and growth, provides tissues with adequate nutrition.
- Mineral substances (zinc, copper peptide) - inhibit enzymes that cause degenerative changes in the hair shafts and promote the development of alopecia in the male type.
- Growth factors are special ingredients that improve blood circulation, strengthen hair roots and follicles.
The composition for mesotherapy injections is selected on the basis of the clinical picture. The doctor assesses the general condition of the hair, the type of alopecia and its stage. Each session under the skin is injected with a 3-5 mm solution.
There are ready-made mezokokteyli of professional brands:
- XL Hair from Aesthetic Dermal is a vitamin preparation that stimulates blood circulation and activates metabolic processes at the cellular level.
- F-Hair from Fusion Mesotherapy - suppresses androgens, contains B vitamins, plant extracts and minerals.
- Mesoline from MD Skin Solutions - contains growth factors and hyaluronic acid, coenzyme Q10, a complex of minerals.
In addition to the above, there are many other ampoules for mesotherapy: Keraktiv, Trinamid, Dermo V complex, Embryoblast and others. The drugs are expensive, but they justify the price by their effectiveness.
Consequences after the procedure
Immediately after the injection, an inflammatory reaction begins at the site of the injection. Vessels narrow and expand. Active capillaries pass through the capillaries, filling the intercellular space. Fibrin, leukocytes, erythrocytes and other substances accumulate in the tissues. This contributes to the allocation of growth factors, moisturizing the scalp and normalizing physiological processes.
The drugs used act directly on the problem areas, delivering useful substances to the follicles. The effect of mesotherapy appears quite soon: the hair structure begins to recover, the growth phases and the processes of fat formation normalize. Immediately after injections, droplets form on the skin, that is, excess nutrients. They are not wiped, as they will gradually be absorbed into the follicles.
But despite all the useful properties of mesotherapy, it is necessary to understand that it is powerless, if the alopecia proceeds in severe form. Injections against hair loss are not effective if the connective tissue has already formed on the site of the hair follicles. In this case, injection therapy is used as a preparatory stage for hair transplantation.
