Modern trichology offers many methods to support hair growth and improve scalp condition. One of the most commonly chosen is mesotherapy – a procedure popular among both women and men. It is used, among others, to combat hair weakening, excessive shedding, or the first signs of androgenetic alopecia. Mesotherapy involves delivering nutrients directly into the scalp through microinjections. Patients who choose this method often ask how long its results can last.
How does mesotherapy work and what affects its results?
The effects of mesotherapy depend on many factors – not only on the products used but also on the patient’s individual predispositions, scalp condition, and the severity of the problem. The treatment stimulates microcirculation, improves cell oxygenation, and supports the transport of nutrients to the hair follicles. All of this promotes renewal, growth, and slowing down of shedding. The body’s response may vary – in some, the first results appear within a few weeks, in others it takes longer. It should be remembered that mesotherapy is not a one-time solution – for visible results, a series of treatments and regular maintenance are necessary.
“Mesotherapy works comprehensively – it improves microcirculation, oxygenates the follicles, and delivers essential regenerative nutrients. It is one of the foundations of modern trichology.”
First results – when do they appear?
Usually, after just a few sessions, patients notice an improvement in scalp and hair condition. Hair often becomes less brittle, scalp hydration improves, and shedding decreases. In some people, after about 2–3 months, the appearance of so-called baby hair – new, short hairs – indicates that the follicles have been stimulated to grow. This is a clear signal that mesotherapy is delivering the expected results. However, it is worth emphasizing that everything depends on the underlying cause – in the case of genetically based alopecia, effects appear more slowly and require consistent treatment.
Effects of mesotherapy – reported by patients
| Clinical effect | % of patients | Time of onset |
|---|---|---|
| Reduction of excessive hair loss | 70% | 4–6 weeks |
| Improved scalp hydration | 85% | 2–3 sessions |
| Appearance of baby hair (new hairs) | 60% | 2–3 months |
| Improved elasticity and shine | 65% | after a full series of treatments |
| Increased overall density and thickness | 50% | 3–4 months |
How long do the results last?
Mesotherapy results are visible for several months after completing the series. In many patients, hair condition improves for six months or even longer – especially when supported by proper home care, supplementation, and a healthy lifestyle. However, it must be understood that the hair follicle does not remain in one growth phase permanently – its cycle consists of growth, transitional, and resting stages. For this reason, regular maintenance is necessary, as over time the body returns to its natural rhythm and negative scalp factors may reappear.
Are maintenance sessions necessary?
Definitely yes. To maintain results, maintenance sessions should be scheduled – usually performed every few months. Their frequency is determined individually, depending on scalp needs, hair growth rate, and severity of the problem. In some cases, one session every 3–4 months may suffice; in others, more frequent support may be recommended. Regularity and overall body care are essential. The scalp, like the face or body, requires care tailored to its changing needs.
Hair requires a comprehensive approach
Mesotherapy is a valuable part of scalp care, but it should not be seen as the only solution for weakened hair. The results will be more visible and long-lasting if the patient also focuses on proper diet, rest, stress reduction, and appropriate hair care. It is worth consulting a specialist who will assess the scalp condition and help create an individualized treatment plan. At Piotr Turkowski’s Clinic, we combine trichological expertise with experience in hair restoration, offering our patients comprehensive care and real support at every stage of maintaining the health and appearance of their hair.
