Treatment Overview
Anti-Inflammatory Mesotherapy for Sensitive Scalp in Korea is a non-surgical, regenerative treatment designed to calm irritated scalp, reduce inflammation, and support healthy hair growth. Sensitive scalps often experience redness, itching, dryness, or follicle irritation, which can contribute to hair thinning or shedding.
Korean clinics administer nutrient-rich mesotherapy cocktails containing anti-inflammatory agents, vitamins, peptides, amino acids, and sometimes stem-cell conditioned media directly into the scalp using micro-needles or meso-gun devices. This treatment soothes the scalp, strengthens hair follicles, and improves scalp barrier function, making it ideal for patients prone to scalp sensitivity.
Purpose & Benefits
The primary goal is to reduce scalp inflammation, strengthen follicles, and promote a healthy environment for hair growth.
Key Benefits:
- Calms redness, itching, and irritation
- Reduces scalp inflammation and follicle stress
- Strengthens weak or thinning hair
- Improves scalp microcirculation and nutrient delivery
- Supports keratin production for stronger hair shafts
- Safe, minimally invasive, and suitable for sensitive scalps
- Can be combined with PRP, HA, peptides, or stem-cell therapies for enhanced results
- Helps prevent hair shedding caused by scalp irritation
Ideal Candidates
This therapy is suitable for:
- Individuals with sensitive, reactive, or itchy scalp
- Patients experiencing scalp redness, flaking, or irritation

No serious long-term side effects are typically observed.

Treatment Process in Korea
1. Scalp Diagnosis
Dermatologists examine scalp condition, follicle health, and inflammation levels using digital imaging.
2. Scalp Cleansing
The scalp is thoroughly cleansed to remove oils, dead skin cells, and debris.
3. Optional Numbing
Topical anesthetic or cooling may be applied for comfort.
4. Mesotherapy Injection
Customized anti-inflammatory nutrient solutions are injected into affected areas to calm irritation and support follicle health.
5. Post-Treatment Care
Cooling masks or LED therapy may be applied to reduce redness, inflammation, and improve absorption.
6. Session Duration
Treatment usually lasts 20–30 minutes. Most patients undergo 4–8 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart, with maintenance sessions every 2–3 months depending on scalp condition.
Recovery & After-Care
Recovery is minimal, allowing patients to resume daily activities immediately.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid washing hair for 12–24 hours post-treatment
- Refrain from sauna, heavy exercise, or swimming for 24 hours
- Avoid scratching or rubbing the scalp
- Use mild, clinic-recommended shampoos and topical serums
- Follow any additional clinic instructions for sensitive scalps
Mild redness or tenderness usually resolves within a few hours.
