Mesotherapy involves injecting vitamins and minerals right into the scalp of the head to encourage healthy hair growth. It is already used extensively as a treatment for balding in men but more and more women are turning to it to make up for hair that is compromised by breastfeeding, addiction, stress, dieting too much and eating junk food. Mesotherapy is also becoming a more common part of aging therapy in general with more and more senior citizens getting vitamin injections under the skin to stay healthy.
What type of vitamins or minerals are injected into the scalp are determined after a strand of your hair is tested to see what you might be deficient in. If you are having problems with your hair you may be prescribed injections of vitamin A, the B vitamins, C, E, Zinc, Copper, Calcium, Phosphorus or MSM. Sometimes the supplementary injection might also include all of the amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of great hair and if your hair is broken, brittle and stalled in the growth process supplementation might be necessary.
The thing to keep in mind us that even though injecting vitamins for healthy hair can help speed up the process, your hair is not going to look fantastic overnight. What you will notice over a period of a year is that your hair seems to be growing faster and it will be thicker. The new growth will probably be shinier and healthier.
Keep in mind, however that injecting hair vitamins is only going to work if you were actually short of the hair nutrients in the first place. It will not work on hair that is disappearing or thinning for other reasons. For instance, if you have a disorder because of an addiction that prevents your liver from absorbing B vitamins your hair will get worse. No amount of pills, powders, capsules, sprays or ingestible forms of B vitamins are going to help you in that case.
In order to procure mesotherapy injections you must go to a trichologist who will analyze your hair and determine what kind of vitamins will help you grow a healthier head of hair. You may require weekly or monthly visits to get injections depending on what is prescribed for you.
As mesotherapy can be very expensive you might be required to inject your own vitamins. The main thing to remember is that vitamin injections are never to be given in the vein or you could die. Have your doctor or the trichologist show you exactly how to inject vitamins so that they are under the skin. It must only be injected into fat or muscle. The best spots to do vitamin injections are in the buttocks or in the fat of the belly.
If you are required to perform your own hair vitamin injections you also need to know how important it is not to use the same needle repeatedly or share needles. You should also take care to dispose of the needle properly as well so that the people who collect garbage are not accidently poked with the point.
