The Clinical Process and Patient Experience
In the first part of our series, we introduced the basics of mesotherapy and explained why it has become a trusted treatment option for alopecia. Now, let’s dive deeper into the clinical process – what happens during a mesotherapy session, what patients can expect, and how this treatment brings real benefits when performed in a professional setting.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Every treatment begins with a thorough consultation with a medical specialist.
• The doctor reviews the patient’s medical history, lifestyle factors, and type of alopecia.
• Scalp analysis may be performed to measure follicle density, sebum levels, or signs of inflammation.
• Based on this evaluation, the specialist designs a personalized mesotherapy protocol, including frequency, active ingredients, and supportive therapies.
Personalization is key. No two patients receive the exact same formula.
Step 2: Preparation for Treatment
Before the session:
• The scalp is cleansed and sometimes disinfected to reduce infection risk.
• A topical anesthetic may be applied for patients sensitive to injections.
• History Taking
– esp. allergy, medical conditions, and any drug use
• Physical Examination & Diagnosis
– Heredity, Stress / unusual event, Region and pattern of Alopecia, Hormone, Anemia, Onset time
• Photo & Trichogram
Step 3: The Mesotherapy Procedure
The heart of the treatment involves injecting or diffusing therapeutic substances directly into the dermis of the scalp – the layer where hair follicles live.
• Techniques:
– Microinjections or micro needlings with fine needles.
– Electroporation (EP), which uses electrical pulses to create micro-channels in the skin.
– Radiation with Super luminous Light Emitting Diode or Pulses Electro Magnetic Field.
• Key Ingredients Used:
– Cytokines & Growth Factors – stimulate follicle stem cells and normalize the hair cycle.
– Vitamins & Amino Acids – nourish follicles and improve scalp metabolism.
– Peptides & Antioxidants – reduce inflammation and protect against oxidative stress.
The session usually lasts 30 – 60 minutes, depending on the scalp area treated.
Step 4: Post-Treatment Care
Immediately after mesotherapy, the scalp may show mild redness or sensitivity, which typically subsides within 24–48 hours.
Doctors usually recommend:
• Stop Smoking
• Protect Photo-Aging: Sunscreen
• Well-balanced Diet
• Nutritional Supplementations (ex. Antioxidants)
• Regular Exercise
• Stress Control
• Hormonal Balance
• Regular Health Check-ups
• Bath 1 day after procedure
• Using gentle, non-irritating shampoos (like AesMed’s Advance Follicle Shampoo) to maintain scalp health between sessions.
Treatment Schedule and Results
Mesotherapy is not a one-time treatment – it works best in a series of sessions:
• Initial Phase: 1 session every 1–2 weeks for the first 2–3 months.
• Maintenance Phase: 1 session per month, or as recommended.
Most patients notice improvements such as:
• Reduced hair shedding within the first 1–2 months.
• Visible thickening and stronger hair within 3–4 months.
• Long-term stabilization of alopecia when combined with other therapies.
Patient Experience
Patients often describe mesotherapy as:
• Minimally invasive – mild discomfort but tolerable.
• Convenient – sessions are relatively quick and require little downtime.
• Encouraging – many see tangible improvements, which boosts confidence.
It’s important to note that results vary, and mesotherapy works best when combined with holistic care, including nutrition, lifestyle management, and medical therapies.
Integration with AesMed’s AGF39™
At AesMed, we enhance the effectiveness of mesotherapy by using AGF39™, our cytokine-based solution developed specifically for alopecia.
• Recovers cytokines balance of hair follicle.
• Stimulates hair follicle regeneration.
• Extends the anagen (growth) phase.
• Enhances hair shaft and follicle bulb
• Suppresses DHT-induced follicle damage.
This synergy makes the treatment not only more effective but also scientifically reliable.
Key Takeaway
The clinical process of mesotherapy is carefully structured to ensure safety, precision, and results. From consultation to aftercare, every step is designed to maximize hair follicle health and create the best possible environment for regrowth.
In Part 3 of this series, we’ll focus on AesMed’s innovation with AGF39™, our vision for the future of alopecia treatment, and how mesotherapy fits into our global mission of patient-centered hair care.
