Mesotherapy with Growth Factors

Hair defines how a person looks and is associated with style and pride for large population of individuals. It can be emotionally devastating to experience premature hair loss and thereby effecting the professional and personal life. Individuals experience hair loss for several reasons, not limited to genetic, hormonal imbalances, stress and aging and scalp diseases.

Growth factors are proteins that help in the growth & rejuvenation of any organ or organ system in the body. They play a role in almost all the vital functions happening in the body. These factors are produced from one part of the body and act on the same or another part of the body to cause the growth and development in the target organ. The growth factors are non organ specific and can act on multiple organs of the body. The main sources of growth factors in the body are the fast multiplying pool of cells like the platelets in the blood (Platelet derived growth factors), Epidermis in the skin (Epidermal growth factor), Blood vessels (Vascular endothelial growth factor) and the human intestines (Insulin like Growth factor) to name a few. Once produced, these growth factors circulate in the blood and cause effects on various organs (Target organs). Like other organs, the hair bulb also has got receptors for these growth factors and responds by stimulating the growth of the hair into the growth phase that is the Anagen.

Meso-therapy is a technique of giving tiny micro-injections and injecting the useful substance directly under the skin (Mesoderm). The advantage here is that the drug reaches the target site directly without substantial losses into the other body parts. This technique finds applications in various treatments like hair loss management, cellulite management, treatment of double chin, problem areas of overweight and also a glow on the skin.

Meso-therapy for Hair loss management is a relatively painless procedure taking about 30 min where these tiny micro-injections are given into the scalp every 1 cm and various growth factors and poly-vitamins are injected into the hair bulb directly at precisely controlled depth, without any side effects. The procedure is done with a specialized instrument which ensures precise delivery of the drug directly at the target site. The procedure is done by Dermatologists having expert knowledge about the hair follicle anatomy and is divided into intensive and maintenance phases. The intensive phase is recommended once weekly for about 6-7 weeks and the maintenance phase is once in 2 weeks for initial 6 sessions and thereafter once monthly maintenance for about 6 months to ensure results.
