Treatment Overview
Mesotherapy for Stress-Induced Telogen Effluvium in Korea is a targeted, non-surgical treatment designed to strengthen hair follicles, reduce shedding, and promote hair regrowth triggered by physical or emotional stress. Telogen effluvium occurs when stress pushes hair follicles into the resting (telogen) phase prematurely, causing diffuse hair loss.
Korean clinics administer nutrient-rich cocktails containing vitamins, amino acids, peptides, growth factors, or stem-cell derivatives directly into the scalp using fine micro-needles or meso-gun devices. This treatment nourishes weakened follicles, improves scalp circulation, and accelerates hair recovery safely and effectively.
Purpose & Benefits
The goal of this treatment is to stop hair shedding, restore hair density, and strengthen weakened follicles.
Key Benefits:
- Reduces stress-related hair shedding
- Strengthens fragile or thinning hair
- Stimulates dormant hair follicles
- Improves scalp microcirculation and nutrient supply
- Enhances keratin production for stronger hair shafts
- Supports faster hair regrowth post-stress
- Safe, non-hormonal, and minimally invasive
- Can be combined with PRP, HA, or peptides for better results
Ideal Candidates
This treatment is suitable for:
- Individuals experiencing hair shedding due to stress, illness, or hormonal changes
- Patients noticing diffuse thinning after emotional or physical stress
- Men and women seeking a non-surgical solution for hair restoration
- Patients wanting to strengthen weak hair and improve scalp health
It may not be suitable for advanced alopecia or inactive follicles. A dermatologist should evaluate underlying causes of hair loss.
Possible Risks & Complications
Mesotherapy for stress-induced telogen effluvium is generally safe in certified Korean clinics. Mild, temporary effects may include:
- Redness or swelling at injection sites
- Minor tenderness or itching
- Temporary small bumps or pinpoint bleeding
- Rare allergic reactions depending on solution used
- Very low risk of infection due to strict sterilization
No serious long-term effects are typically observed.
Techniques & Technology Used
Korean clinics use advanced devices and methods for optimal efficacy:
- Meso-gun devices for precise and uniform injections
- Nano-needle or microneedling techniques to enhance absorption
- Customized nutrient cocktails with vitamins, amino acids, peptides, HA, or stem-cell CM
- Digital scalp mapping to identify areas of thinning
- LED red-light therapy post-treatment to stimulate follicles and reduce inflammation
- Optional topical anesthetic or cryotherapy to reduce discomfort
Treatment Process in Korea
1. Scalp Diagnosis
Dermatologists assess follicle health, scalp condition, and degree of hair shedding using digital imaging.
2. Scalp Preparation
The scalp is cleansed and optionally exfoliated to remove debris and optimize absorption.
3. Optional Numbing
Topical anesthetic or cold air is applied for patient comfort.
4. Mesotherapy Injection
Nutrient-rich solution is injected directly into thinning or weakened areas using micro-needles or meso-gun devices.
5. Post-Treatment Care
Cooling masks or LED therapy are applied to reduce redness and 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, followed by maintenance every 2–3 months.
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 gentle, sulfate-free shampoos
- Follow any clinic-recommended topical serums
Mild redness or tenderness usually resolves within hours.
Results & Longevity
Timeline:
- 2–3 weeks: Reduction in hair shedding and improved scalp health
- 4–6 weeks: Strengthened hair shafts and early regrowth
- 2–3 months: Noticeable increase in density and thickness
- 4–6 months: Optimal results with improved follicle activity
Longevity:
Results typically last 6–12 months, depending on scalp health, lifestyle, and stress management. Maintenance sessions every 2–3 months help sustain optimal hair growth.
