Hair loss is a problem that afflicts many people, both men and women. It is a constitutional phenomenon that can be aggravated by numerous concomitant causes such as stress, hormonal dysfunctions, certain medications, debilitating diseases, unbalanced slimming diets, excessive washing or the use of overly aggressive shampoos.

Baldness can create great discomfort for sufferers, but fortunately aesthetic medicine provides us with new tools to combat it and recover lost hair. Among the most modern and effective methods are mesotherapy and PRP.

Mesotherapy of the scalp consists of micro-injections into the surface layer of the dermis of revitalising multivitamin and antioxidant products that have a biostimulating and neo-angiogenic function. This treatment, combined with lotions and possibly also with oral therapy, makes it possible to slow down hair loss and promote the recovery of all the atrophic but still viable pilosebaceous bulbs through a progressive process of new blood vessel formation that allows a greater supply of nutrients. A treatment lasts about 20 minutes and involves 6/8 sessions plus one session every 2/3 months for maintenance.

PRP ('Platelet Rich Plasma') is a method that uses the growth factors naturally present in blood platelets to restore strength and vigour to the hair. Scientific studies over the past three years have demonstrated the undeniable clinical effectiveness of this type of treatment, which can combat hair loss, treat scalp disorders from within, and stimulate hair follicles that are still vital and regenerate hair.

The technique is simple, and is performed in an outpatient setting in 30 minutes. Blood is taken with a butterfly needle, this is then centrifuged and treated to extract platelets and enriched plasma containing a concentrate of tissue regrowth factors, these are then re-injected into the subcutaneous tissue from the scalp and over a few days trigger the activity of the suffering follicles.

it is important to emphasise that in this case, as autologous components - i.e. taken from the patient's own body - are used, there can be no allergic reactions. In addition, PRP stimulates the regeneration of new hair, strengthens pre-existing hair resulting in a reduction in hair loss, and acts by stabilising and strengthening the scalp.
