We all know that thick, luscious locks are associated with youth, health, and attractiveness. In fact, society places plenty of focus on hair, so many people feel it plays an important role in their identity. As a result, regardless of your age or gender, hair loss can have a significant impact on your self-esteem.
As one of the Greater Toronto Area’s Top MedSpa clinics, we at Philosophy of Beauty take expert hair restoration seriously. We have the medical knowledge and advanced aesthetic treatments to help restore your confidence and solve the problem of thinning hair.
Unfortunately, thinning hair is relatively common for men and women because it is caused by shared factors like hormonal changes, stress, poor diet, medications, medical conditions, and genetics. Because hair loss is commonly a progressive process, it is important to act as soon as you begin noticing thinning hair. But when searching for hair loss solutions, you’ll likely find several products on the market that claim to stimulate hair growth yet fail to live up to their promises.
Luckily, there are non-surgical, safe treatment options, including Mesotherapy, an effective, minimally invasive treatment now offered at Philosophy of Beauty.
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical procedure that has recently gained popularity due to its ability to halt hair loss and restore the hair follicles responsible for hair growth. While only 50% of patients who take Minoxidil (Rogaine), a popular hair loss medication, see significant results, it is estimated that 90% of patients who undergo Mesotherapy see a dramatic improvement.
This simple, painless treatment involves making shallow microinjections into the scalp, below the epidermis, the outer layer of skin, and into the mesoderm, the middle layer of the skin. The effect is stimulation of the healing cascade and regeneration of hair. Mesotherapy injections are customized to each patient’s needs and contain a mixture of minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and co-enzymes targeted straight to the hair roots. The specialized nutrient formulas help to fuel cellular growth, including blood circulation to the scalp, in turn reducing inflammation, stimulating collagen, increasing follicle size, and improving DHT levels.
Mesotherapy works by providing both mechanical and chemical stimulation; thus, it is a dual-action process. First, the injections create tiny perforations in the scalp, which triggers the body’s natural healing process. In response, the body produces more collagen and elastin to repair the skin. The microchannels created will close and heal very quickly, but potent nutrient formulas are introduced beneath the skin’s surface and remain there to continue their work. The practitioners at Philosophy of Beauty use only high-quality ingredients to ensure the effectiveness of this process. Think of it as fuel for hair growth, targeted straight to the source.
While the length of your procedure will depend on the areas being treated, in most instances, you will spend as little as 10-30 minutes. This fast, powerful treatment requires no dressings, anesthesia, or pain medication which means it can be completed during your lunch hour. You’ll go back to work or daily activities looking and feeling fine, with no downtime to worry about.
It is important to know that it usually takes a minimum of 10 sessions to see optimal results, as treatments gradually improve scalp health and stimulate hair growth. For best hair growth results, we recommend scheduling your treatments every two weeks for 2-3 months, at which point the results will be evident. Maintenance sessions are recommended every 3 months to sustain thicker hair. While some patients notice results within the first month, in some cases it may take up to 6 months to see significant progress, so it is important to be patient. To accelerate the healing process, it is recommended that patients maintain a healthy lifestyle following the treatment by exercising and reducing toxins from their diet.
Mesotherapy is recommended for men or women who are experiencing hair loss. It is effective to treat alopecia areata, traction alopecia, male pattern hair loss, androgenetic alopecia, post-natal hair loss, diffuse hair loss, and some scalp diseases such as psoriasis and dermatitis.
Mesotherapy is not safe for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or for individuals who have certain other medical conditions. We welcome you to discuss your health, the medications you take, or concerns you may have at your private, one-on-one consultation.
When treating hair loss, the active ingredients, Acetyl tetrapeptide-3 and Biochanin-A have been proven remarkably effective. Acetyl tetrapeptide-3 minimizes inflammation, stops hair loss, and triggers hair growth. In addition, it adjusts DHT levels, restoring imbalanced hormones which cause hair loss. It also results in the remodeling of tissue, which increases the hair follicle’s size, so they are strengthened and secured.
Biochanin A is an isoflavone, a natural organic compound. It effectively treats inflammation and regulates DHT which can greatly improve hair growth.
Although everyone has their own pain tolerance, most patients describe the procedure as painless. The treatment area may be slightly swollen for a brief period after. Although rare, there is a risk of possible infection after a Mesotherapy treatment, which is why it is important to visit an experienced, reputable clinic.
Unlike oral medications, which pass through the gastrointestinal tract and are metabolized by the liver before being released into the bloodstream, Mesotherapy delivers hair-growing nutrients directly to the hair follicles which is far more efficient. It is also 40% more effective than topical hair restoration treatments such as Minoxidil. Mesotherapy is a non-surgical treatment that mitigates the need for expensive, invasive hair transplants.
Mesotherapy can be combined with PRF for hair loss, HydraFacial scalp treatments, and our top-of-the-line Revivogen products.
