How does
hair mesotherapy work?
Scalp mesotherapy is an innovative, effective technique for treating hair loss and stimulating regrowth. It involves injecting vitamins, minerals and amino acids directly into the scalp, promoting an optimal environment for healthier hair follicles. But how does this method work?
• Microcirculation stimulation: injections stimulate scalp blood circulation, improving follicle oxygenation and increasing delivery of essential nutrients.
• Direct nutrient delivery: essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids are injected directly into follicles, strengthening hair at the roots and stimulating denser, stronger growth.
• Revitalising 'dormant follicles': this technique can reactivate resting follicles, stimulating new hair growth and slowing hair loss.
• Reduced inflammation: injected ingredients often have anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe the scalp, creating a healthier environment for hair.
• Gradual, lasting results: although effects become visible progressively, scalp mesotherapy provides lasting results for a healthier scalp and visibly strengthened hair.
Benefits of mesotherapy
for hair
• Hair growth stimulation: by delivering necessary nutrients directly to follicles, mesotherapy promotes faster, denser growth.
• Regrowth stimulation.
• Reduced hair loss: treatment slows hair loss and strengthens weakened follicles.
• Stronger hair: injections strengthen existing hair, reducing breakage and loss. Hair becomes thicker, stronger and more resilient.
• Improved scalp health: mesotherapy helps treat scalp concerns such as dandruff and seborrhoea.
• Reduced hair loss.
• Non-invasive treatment: the procedure is quick and requires no recovery time.
Indications for mesotherapy
hair
Scalp mesotherapy is particularly indicated for hair loss associated with stress, hormonal imbalances or nutritional deficiencies. These revitalising injections are also recommended for patients wishing to thicken and strengthen fragile hair or hair lacking volume. Treatment also complements alopecia therapies, delaying baldness progression and stimulating stronger, healthier regrowth. Main indications include:
• Seasonal hair loss: ideal for slowing loss during natural shedding periods (autumn, spring).
• Androgenetic alopecia: mesotherapy can slow its progression and thicken existing hair.
• Fine, fragile hair: this technique helps revitalise and strengthen hair, restoring volume and density.
• Stress-related density loss: this method combats stress-related shedding and revitalises the scalp.
• Nutritional deficiencies: mesotherapy delivers essential vitamins and minerals directly to follicles for strengthening and nourishment.
Scalp mesotherapy is a gentle, targeted solution for visibly strengthened hair and a healthy scalp.
What happens during a session of
scalp mesotherapy
A scalp mesotherapy session involves several simple, painless stages.
First, Dr Romano personally assesses the scalp to target areas requiring specific care.
A mesotherapy gun is used for precise, painless injections.
The doctor chooses the most appropriate mixture to treat hair loss according to the type of hair concern.
• Cellbooster Hair, an injectable product containing stabilised hyaluronic acid enriched with amino acids and vitamins to nourish and revitalise the scalp.
• Personalised mixtures.
• Injectables based on biomimetic peptides and hyaluronic acid, formulated to stimulate hair regrowth and improve density.
These injections are quick and well tolerated, requiring neither anaesthesia nor recovery time.
A session generally lasts around 20 to 30 minutes, and several sessions spaced a few weeks apart are recommended for optimal results. Patients can resume their activities without interruption after each session.
Areas treated with hair mesotherapy
The entire scalp is treated, particularly areas where hair loss is concentrated.
Instructions before and after a
scalp mesotherapy session
Following certain instructions before and after scalp mesotherapy is essential for the best results and to avoid discomfort.
Beforehand, attend with clean, dry hair without styling products to improve ingredient penetration. Avoiding anti-inflammatory medicines or anticoagulants a few days before treatment, with the prescribing doctor's agreement, is also advised to limit bleeding or mild bruising.
Afterwards, avoid washing hair for 24 hours to maximise injection effectiveness. Also avoid intense exercise, saunas and sun exposure for 48 hours to prevent scalp irritation.
Protocol: how many sessions of
scalp mesotherapy?
The scalp mesotherapy protocol is tailored to each patient's needs and scalp condition.
A course generally includes 6 to 10 sessions for visible, lasting results.
Initial weekly sessions stimulate microcirculation and intensively nourish follicles.
Sessions can subsequently be spaced every two to four weeks to maintain benefits and encourage long-term regrowth.
Maintenance sessions every 3 to 6 months are often advised to preserve results.
What results can hair mesotherapy achieve?
Hair mesotherapy results are visible and gradual. Initial effects appear after a few weeks: hair becomes stronger and shinier, and shedding starts to decrease. Thinning areas may show slight regrowth, indicating renewed follicle stimulation.
A full protocol is advised for lasting, optimal results. It generally comprises 4 to 6 sessions spaced two weeks apart. This regularly supplies follicles with vitamins, minerals and amino acids needed for hair regeneration.
With successive sessions, hair gains density, volume and vitality. Regrowth becomes more uniform and the scalp looks healthier. Maintenance sessions every three months may be offered.
Overall, scalp mesotherapy is an ideal treatment for stimulating regrowth, slowing loss and visibly improving hair quality.
How much does a hair mesotherapy session cost in Geneva?
A scalp mesotherapy session starts from 300 CHF. This includes preliminary medical assessment, preparation of the injectable mixture (generally vitamins, minerals, amino acids and sometimes hyaluronic acid) and injections using a mesotherapy gun.
Cost may vary according to ingredient composition and the protocol defined for the type of alopecia (diffuse, hormonal, postpartum, etc.) or patient goals (regrowth stimulation, slower shedding, improved density). An initial medical consultation establishes an appropriate plan with a personalised number of sessions.
Several closely spaced initial sessions are generally recommended, followed by less frequent maintenance. This progressive follow-up is included in the proposed treatment without unexpected extra costs.
Choosing scalp mesotherapy at a Geneva medical practice ensures care meeting safety standards, with quality products and rigorous medical expertise.

Frequently asked questions about hair mesotherapy in Geneva
Is hair mesotherapy effective for all types of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata?
Yes, mesotherapy effectively treats androgenetic alopecia (hormonal hair loss) by stimulating circulation and nourishing follicles. For alopecia areata (immune-related hair loss), results can vary more, but mesotherapy can strengthen existing hair and encourage regrowth in mild cases.
Can hair mesotherapy be combined with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or hair transplantation to improve results?
Yes, mesotherapy can be combined with PRP or hair transplantation. PRP stimulates cellular regeneration while mesotherapy nourishes the scalp. After transplantation, mesotherapy can accelerate healing and enhance results.
Is hair mesotherapy suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
No, hair mesotherapy is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding because the active ingredients used could be absorbed by the body.
Can hair mesotherapy thicken fine or thinning hair?
Yes, mesotherapy strengthens follicles, stimulates growth and improves hair quality, making hair thicker, denser and more resilient.
Is hair mesotherapy effective for dandruff or an oily scalp?
Yes, mesotherapy can be formulated to regulate sebum production, cleanse the scalp and reduce dandruff. It also helps improve overall scalp health.
