Treatment Overview
Mesotherapy for Alopecia Areata (Adjunct Therapy) in Korea is a non-surgical, supportive treatment designed to stimulate hair regrowth and strengthen hair follicles affected by this autoimmune condition. Alopecia Areata causes patchy hair loss, often due to the immune system attacking hair follicles.
In Korean clinics, mesotherapy delivers vitamins, amino acids, peptides, growth factors, or stem-cell conditioned media directly into the scalp using fine micro-needles or meso-gun devices. While mesotherapy cannot cure Alopecia Areata, it enhances hair follicle regeneration, reduces inflammation, and supports conventional therapies, such as corticosteroids or topical immunotherapy.
Purpose & Benefits
The goal of mesotherapy as an adjunct therapy is to promote hair regrowth, nourish follicles, and improve scalp health alongside primary treatment.
Key Benefits:
- Stimulates dormant follicles affected by autoimmune attack
- Reduces inflammation in the scalp
- Strengthens weak or miniaturized hair
- Supports conventional therapies for better results
- Improves scalp circulation and nutrient absorption
- Promotes keratin synthesis for healthier hair
- Safe and minimally invasive, suitable for sensitive scalps
Ideal Candidates
This therapy is suitable for:
- Individuals with mild to moderate patchy hair loss
- Patients undergoing conventional Alopecia Areata treatment seeking enhanced results
- Men and women looking for non-surgical regenerative support
- Patients with recent hair loss due to autoimmune triggers
It is not suitable for patients with active scalp infections or severe Alopecia Totalis/Universalis without specialist consultation.
Possible Risks & Complications
Mesotherapy for Alopecia Areata is generally safe in certified Korean clinics. Temporary, mild side effects may include:
- Redness or swelling at injection sites
- Minor tenderness or itching
- Small bumps that disappear within hours
- Rare allergic reactions depending on solution used
- Very low risk of infection due to strict sterilization
No serious long-term side effects are usually observed.
Techniques & Technology Used
Korean clinics employ advanced technology to optimize treatment outcomes:
- Meso-gun devices for controlled and uniform injections
- Nano-needle or micro-needle techniques to enhance solution absorption
- Custom nutrient cocktails including vitamins, amino acids, peptides, HA, or stem-cell conditioned media
- Scalp mapping to identify affected patches
- LED therapy post-injection to stimulate follicles and reduce inflammation
- Optional numbing or cooling devices for patient comfort
Treatment Process in Korea
1. Scalp Diagnosis
Dermatologists examine scalp condition, hair follicle activity, and affected patches using high-resolution imaging.
2. Scalp Cleansing
The scalp is cleaned to remove oils, dead skin cells, and debris, optimizing absorption.
3. Optional Numbing
Topical anesthetic or cooling techniques are applied to minimize discomfort.
4. Mesotherapy Injection
Customized solution is injected directly into affected patches to stimulate follicle regeneration and support ongoing treatment.
5. Post-Treatment Care
Cooling masks or LED therapy are applied to reduce redness, inflammation, and enhance nutrient absorption.
6. Session Duration
Treatment typically lasts 20–30 minutes. Most patients undergo 4–8 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart, with maintenance depending on the response and disease activity.
Recovery & After-Care
Recovery is minimal, allowing patients to resume daily activities immediately.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid washing hair for 12–24 hours
- Refrain from heavy exercise, sauna, or swimming for 24 hours
- Avoid scratching or rubbing the scalp
- Use mild, sulfate-free shampoos
- Follow any clinic-recommended topical serums or medications
Mild redness or tenderness usually resolves within hours.
Results & Longevity
Timeline:
- 2–3 weeks: Reduced inflammation and early follicle stimulation
- 4–6 weeks: Initial regrowth of fine hair
- 2–3 months: Noticeable improvement in patchy hair density
- 4–6 months: Optimal results when combined with primary therapy
Longevity:
Results vary depending on autoimmune activity. Regular maintenance sessions every 2–3 months may be recommended to sustain follicle health and support regrowth.
