Hair Loss: What Solutions Are Available in Aesthetic Medicine?

Hair loss is a common issue that affects both men and women. It can be particularly pronounced during certain times of the year, notably in spring and autumn. Much like the leaves falling from trees, our scalp also undergoes seasonal changes that can lead to temporary shedding.

When Hair Loss Becomes a Concern
While moderate hair loss can be considered normal, certain factors can exacerbate or accelerate the shedding process. Among the most common causes are:

• Heavy medical treatments, such as chemotherapy
• Hormonal imbalances, particularly during postpartum, menopause, or in cases of thyroid disorders
• Chronic stress
• Genetic factors, responsible for androgenetic alopecia
• Nutritional deficiencies, such as a lack of iron, zinc, or B vitamins

To identify the underlying cause, we systematically recommend a blood test, including an assessment of hormonal status and key nutritional markers.

Scalp mesotherapy: an effective treatment for hair loss
Among the most commonly used non-surgical solutions, hair mesotherapy is a go-to treatment. It involves injecting a revitalising cocktail directly into the scalp, consisting of hyaluronic acid and a multivitamin complex. These micro-injections nourish the hair follicles, stimulate microcirculation, and significantly slow down hair loss.

Mesotherapy is particularly effective for weakened hair, diffuse hair loss, or a slowdown in regrowth. It can be administered in a series of sessions, followed by maintenance treatments as needed.

But what if the hair has already fallen out?
When the follicles are completely inactive and the balding areas are well established, mesotherapy alone is no longer sufficient. In this case, hair transplantation remains the most suitable solution. An accurate diagnosis will allow for an assessment of your situation and guide you towards the most effective management.
