Alopecia: is the reduction or disappearance of hair. The estimated total number of hairs in a normal adult is 150,000. This means that there are 200-300 hair strands per cm2. It is normal to lose 50-100 hair strands a day. When the hair is shed, only the hair body becomes damaged. The hair root (follicle) remains in place. From this root, hair is formed again. This period lasts 6 years. During human life, new hair strands are formed from the hair follicle 12 times.
Androgenic alopecias are mesotherapies that can be treated with scalp mesotherapy. In androgenetic alopecia, there is a shrinkage in the hair root and an acceleration in the hair cycle rather than a decrease in the number of follicles. The anagen phase duration is shortened. It follows a separate clinical course in men and women. The male has a history of shedding in his family history. This condition has a poor prognosis. Shedding first starts and progresses in the forehead nerve, then there is an opening starting from the top. The hair pull test is usually positive. The diagnosis is usually made by clinical appearance. Female pattern androgenic alopecia is the most common type. Hair on the top is reduced, sparse, thinner, shorter and contains less pigment.
Androgenic alopecia is a “classic and well-known” indication for mesotherapy. Mesotherapy is an additional method to improve and control shedding. The results are pleasing and permanent.
Mesotherapy is a medical technique that delivers beneficial products directly around the relevant tissues. Intradermal injections are given in small doses. This injection into the dermis stimulates cellular metabolism and lays the groundwork for rejuvenating the tissues. Although the sessions vary according to the person, they are organized as 3 or 4 sessions in the first month, 1 session in 15 days in the second month, 1 session in 15 days in the third month or 1 session per month.
