Treatment Overview
Amino-Acid Rich Hair Booster Mesotherapy in Korea is a highly effective, non-surgical treatment designed to strengthen hair follicles, stimulate growth, and improve overall scalp health. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, essential for keratin synthesis, the main component of hair.
Korean clinics combine essential and non-essential amino acids with vitamins, peptides, and sometimes growth factors to create a potent hair booster cocktail. The solution is delivered directly to the scalp via micro-needle injections or mesotherapy guns, ensuring deep absorption at the dermal papilla level. This treatment is suitable for men and women experiencing thinning, weak hair, or early-stage hair loss.
Purpose & Benefits
The primary goal of amino-acid rich mesotherapy is to nourish the scalp, strengthen hair shafts, and activate dormant follicles.
Key Benefits:
- Stimulates hair follicles and promotes growth
- Strengthens weak or thinning hair shafts
- Improves scalp nutrition and microcirculation
- Reduces hair shedding and breakage
- Supports keratin production for stronger hair
- Enhances the results of PRP, HA, or peptide treatments
- Reduces inflammation and improves scalp health
- Safe and non-hormonal for long-term use
Ideal Candidates
This treatment is ideal for:
- Individuals with early to moderate hair thinning
- People with weak, fragile, or brittle hair
- Patients experiencing diffuse shedding
- Post-hair transplant patients for follicle support
- Anyone seeking a non-surgical, regenerative approach
It may not be suitable for patients with advanced baldness or inactive follicles.
Possible Risks & Complications
Amino-acid rich mesotherapy is generally safe, with mild and temporary side effects:
- Redness or slight swelling at injection sites
- Minor tenderness or itching
- Temporary bumps that resolve within hours
- Rare allergic reactions due to high-purity amino acid formulations
- Minimal infection risk in Korean clinics due to strict sterilization protocols
Techniques & Technology Used
Korean clinics use advanced methods to ensure maximum efficacy:
- Meso-gun devices for precise, uniform injection
- Nano-needles or microneedling for enhanced absorption
- Customized amino-acid cocktails combined with vitamins and peptides
- Scalp mapping tools to target areas of thinning
- LED light therapy to promote cellular activation and absorption
- Cryotherapy or numbing techniques for patient comfort
Treatment Process in Korea
1. Scalp Diagnosis
Dermatologists assess scalp and follicle health using digital trichoscopy and microscopic analysis.
2. Scalp Preparation
The scalp is cleansed to remove oils, dirt, and dead skin cells.
3. Optional Numbing
A topical anesthetic or cooling device is applied for patient comfort.
4. Amino-Acid Injection
Amino-acid rich solution is injected evenly across thinning or weak areas using fine needles or mesotherapy guns.
5. Post-Treatment Care
Cooling masks or LED therapy are applied to reduce redness and promote healing.
6. Session Duration
Sessions typically last 20–30 minutes. Most patients undergo 4–8 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 2–3 months.
Recovery & After-Care
Recovery is minimal and most patients resume daily activities immediately.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid washing hair for 12–24 hours
- No sauna, heavy exercise, or swimming for 24 hours
- Do not scratch or rub the scalp
- Use gentle, sulfate-free shampoo
- Follow any topical serum recommendations from the clinic
Mild redness or sensitivity usually resolves within hours.
