IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE TO MESOTHERAPY?

There are other surgical and non-surgical options like PRP that may be more appropriate to your circumstances. Dr Cotrufo will be able to talk you through these options and recommend the procedure(s) best suited to your goals.

BEFORE YOUR MESOTHERAPY TREATMENT

Establishing which procedure is likely to be best for your specific needs, feeling confident and comfortable with your surgery journey is a process that requires good communication between you and your surgeon. This starts at your consultation, here you’ll have the opportunity to explain your personal circumstances and pose questions.

DURING YOUR CONSULTATION, YOU WILL:

• Have the opportunity to explain your reasons for seeking mesotherapy

• Be given time to ask advice and pose questions to Dr Cotrufo

• Undergo a health evaluation.

• Have your hair and scalp condition assessed via the microscope

• Discuss the hair loss treatment options that are open to you, including costs and timescales.

• Talk through potential risks as well as benefits.

• Learn about the procedure and what will happen before, during and after mesotherapy.

In the run-up to your mesotherapy treatment and in the days immediately prior, you may be asked to make lifestyle changes or to avoid particular medications and activities.

This may include:

• Taking a blood test or other medical tests

• Stopping smoking

• Adjusting or taking certain medications

• Avoiding aspirin, herbal supplements and anti-inflammatory drugs

• Refraining from drinking alcohol

• Avoiding overexposure to the sun

• Committing not to make serious dietary changes

THE MESOTHERAPY TREATMENT:

• The healing process is induced through micro perforations made by a needle. The organism then produces collagen and elastin, two of the key building blocks of the skin, as a post traumatic response.

• The injected active ingredients will stimulate the organism

• A wide range of nutritious vitamins, amino acids and vasodilators, injections are administered directly into mesoderm of the scalp– the layer under the epidermis which serves as a link between the layer of fats and the tissues of the skin

• This is done by hand with a sterile needle instead of a mesotherapy gun which ensures  maximum accuracy and gently injects the solution in the scalp avoiding damaging any follicles in the process

AFTER YOUR MESOTHERAPY TREATMENT

We recommend starting with an intensive course of treatments every 2 weeks for the first 2-3 months.

The frequency of treatments then gradually decreases and patients enjoy the benefits of rejuvenated hair in as quickly as two to three months. Maintenance treatments are generally required, and are typically scheduled once every two to three months.
