Scalp mesotherapy injects a mix of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and growth factors directly into the middle layer of the scalp. Because these nutrients reach the follicle root directly, they are far more effective than topical products that sit on the surface. The treatment also includes DHT-blocking agents to slow follicle miniaturisation. Additionally, it improves scalp blood circulation — so follicles get more oxygen and nutrients continuously. The session takes 20–30 minutes, and there is no downtime afterward.

Most patients need 6–8 sessions for an initial course. Sessions are typically spaced 1–2 weeks apart at first. After that, monthly maintenance sessions help sustain results. However, the exact number depends on your hair loss stage, scalp condition, and how your follicles respond. Your dermatologist confirms the plan after trichoscopy. Furthermore, the formula can be adjusted at each visit based on your scalp's response.

Both treatments work — but they work differently. PRP uses growth factors from your own blood. Mesotherapy delivers a customised blend of vitamins, minerals, DHT blockers, and growth factors. Therefore, mesotherapy is particularly effective for nutrient-related hair fall, stress-related shedding, and patients who want to avoid blood draws. For androgenetic alopecia, both are effective — and sometimes combined for stronger results. Your dermatologist will recommend the right option after reviewing your trichoscopy findings.

The procedure involves micro-injections into the scalp. However, a numbing cream is applied first — so discomfort is minimal. Most patients describe a mild pressure or slight tingling sensation rather than pain. The session takes 20–30 minutes and is well-tolerated. After the session, the scalp may feel slightly tender or itchy for a few hours. But there is no significant discomfort and no recovery period. You can return to your normal routine immediately.

Results come in stages. First, hair fall reduces — typically within 2–4 weeks of the first session. Visible new growth begins between 6–10 weeks. After that, hair density and thickness continue to improve over 4–6 months. So while the first sign — less shedding — comes quickly, the full result builds over several months. Trichoscopy at follow-up visits tracks these changes objectively at every stage, so you can see the improvement clearly.

Yes — mesotherapy is safe when performed by a certified dermatologist. Mild, temporary side effects at injection sites — such as slight redness, minor swelling, or tenderness — can occur. These typically resolve within a few hours. There is no downtime and no systemic side effects. However, as a precaution, your dermatologist reviews your medical history and current medications before starting treatment.

The cost depends on the number of sessions needed, the specific cocktail formula used, and whether mesotherapy is combined with other treatments. At Maynee, we do not charge flat rates regardless of condition. A full and transparent cost breakdown is given after your trichoscopy assessment — once your dermatologist has reviewed your scalp and built your personalised plan. There are no hidden charges and no pressure to commit on the day.

Yes. Mesotherapy is highly effective for women. It works particularly well for diffuse thinning, postpartum hair fall, and hormonal shedding — which are the most common patterns in women. Because it is non-hormonal and completely drug-free, it is also suitable for women who want to avoid oral medications such as minoxidil or finasteride. Your dermatologist confirms whether mesotherapy is right for your specific pattern at the trichoscopy assessment.

Mesotherapy significantly reduces hair fall — most patients see a clear drop in daily shedding within the first few sessions. However, results depend on the cause and stage of hair loss. For nutrient-related and stress-related hair fall, mesotherapy can reduce shedding dramatically. For androgenetic alopecia, it slows progression and supports regrowth — but maintenance sessions are needed long term. A trichoscopy at Maynee gives you a clear picture of what results to realistically expect for your case.

Before the session: wash your hair with a mild shampoo on the morning of treatment. Do not apply oil, serum, or any styling product. Stay well-hydrated. Also tell your dermatologist about any new supplements or medications since your last visit. After the session: keep the scalp dry for 24 hours. Avoid direct sun on the scalp, swimming pools, and steam rooms for 48 hours. After that, resume your normal routine — there is no significant downtime. Follow your prescribed home-care shampoo and supplement protocol consistently between sessions, as this directly supports your clinical results.
