Treatment Overview
Mesotherapy for Hair Shaft Thickening in Korea is a non-surgical, regenerative hair treatment designed to strengthen and increase the diameter of individual hair strands, resulting in thicker, fuller-looking hair. Hair thinning and weak shafts can make hair appear sparse, brittle, and fragile.
In Korean clinics, customized mesotherapy cocktails containing peptides, amino acids, vitamins, hyaluronic acid (HA), and growth factors are injected directly into the scalp using micro-needles or meso-gun devices. This therapy nourishes the hair shaft from the root, strengthens follicular structures, and improves overall hair density.
Purpose & Benefits
The primary goal is to enhance hair shaft strength and thickness, improving both appearance and hair health.
Key Benefits:
- Strengthens individual hair strands
- Increases hair shaft diameter for fuller hair
- Reduces breakage and hair fragility
- Stimulates hair follicle activity for stronger growth
- Improves scalp microcirculation and nutrient delivery
- Supports keratin synthesis for healthier hair
- Safe, minimally invasive, and suitable for most hair types
- Can be combined with PRP, peptides, HA, or stem-cell therapies for enhanced results
Ideal Candidates
This therapy is ideal for:
- Individuals with thin, fragile, or weak hair
- Patients experiencing diffuse thinning or reduced hair density
- Men and women seeking non-surgical hair rejuvenation
- Patients wanting to enhance hair volume and texture
- Those looking for preventive hair strengthening
It may not be suitable for patients with active scalp infections or severe alopecia without professional evaluation.

- Very low risk of infection due to strict sterilization
No serious long-term side effects are typically observed.

Treatment Process in Korea
1. Scalp Diagnosis
Dermatologists assess hair shaft diameter, scalp condition, and follicle health using digital imaging.
2. Scalp Cleansing
The scalp is cleaned to remove oils, dead skin cells, and debris.
3. Optional Numbing
Topical anesthetic or cooling devices may be applied for comfort.
4. Mesotherapy Injection
Customized nutrient solutions are injected directly into thinning areas to strengthen hair shafts and improve follicle health.
5. Post-Treatment Care
Cooling masks or LED therapy may be applied to reduce redness and enhance absorption.
6. Session Duration
Treatment typically lasts 20–30 minutes. Most patients undergo 4–8 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart, with maintenance every 2–3 months for long-term results.
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 heavy exercise, sauna, or swimming for 24 hours
- Avoid scratching or rubbing the scalp
- Use mild, clinic-recommended shampoos and topical serums
- Follow any clinic instructions for optimal results
Mild redness or tenderness usually resolves within a few hours.
