To maintain healthy hair, they need vitamins. Some of them come with food. Often, to receive a larger amount, a multivitamin supplement is required. Sometimes this is not enough, locks can fall out. Then you need injections for hair growth. The rules for their implementation are described in the article.
When are required?
Injections for hair growth are necessary for various ailments, in the treatment of which it is necessary to replenish vitamin "reserves". Valuable components are not always fully absorbed by the digestive tract. That is why vitamins are administered intramuscularly.
Hair loss is usually associated with vitamin deficiency. Therefore, in the treatment of baldness, the doctor prescribes vitamin-mineral complexes and special preparations. If after 2 months there are no positive changes, and analyzes indicate a lack of vitamins, then vitamins are prescribed intramuscularly. According to reviews, injections help eliminate the problem of hair loss.
Terms of use
Intramuscular injections are easy. If you have the skills, you can inject vitamins on your own. Injections are done in the gluteus muscle or in the upper thigh.
But, if the procedures are performed independently, the following nuances must be taken into account:
- Self-administration of vitamins intramuscularly is allowed only with the appointment of a doctor. Do not arbitrarily make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment, as it can harm your health.
- Do not mix vitamins, some of them are poorly compatible and, when combined, lead to allergies. If several funds are assigned, then they need to be alternated - today one, and tomorrow - another.
- Before the procedure, wash your hands well with soap and water, treat the injection site with an alcohol solution. For each session, use a new syringe. These measures prevent accidental infection.
When these rules are followed, injections for hair growth will be effective and safe. According to reviews, after the procedures a positive result is observed.
Appointment
From the loss of curls intramuscular injections of B vitamins are required. The following vitamins are usually used:
- IN 1. With its lack, the intensity of the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats decreases. With a deficiency, chronic fatigue and weakness appear, due to which there is a disorder of the nervous system, depression, stress. Because of this, severe hair loss appears.
- AT 6. Participates in the metabolism of proteins and fats, a component is necessary for the normal functioning of the liver, and allows nerve cells to absorb glucose. With a deficiency, the entire body and hair follicles become weak.
- AT 12. This vitamin includes cobalt - a trace mineral valuable to the body. Lack of B12 causes a violation of enzymatic reactions, destabilization of the liver, impaired hematopoiesis. Externally, the deficit is manifested by weight loss, decreased appetite, hair loss.
Injections for hair growth are prescribed to patients individually. Taking into account the characteristics of the body, the dose and duration of the course are determined. The duration of treatment is 1-2 weeks, 1 mg of a vitamin solution is prescribed per day.
For prevention, vitamin B12 is prescribed, it is pricked at 1 mg. The course takes place once a month. Vitamins in ampoules used for injections allow you to quickly achieve the desired results.
Mesotherapy of the scalp
In order to replenish the balance of nutrients, injections are given to the head for hair growth. This procedure is called mesotherapy. It consists in maintaining the vitamin composition in the scalp. This allows you to quickly deliver the necessary components to the follicles, restore the structure and lead to the growth of new hair.
For injections in the head for hair growth vitamins are used in ampoules. With a syringe, the healing solution is injected to a depth of several millimeters. Usually, those substances that better strengthen the roots are used. Usually use a cocktail of several sera with useful components. If hair loss is severe, vitamins of group B, A, C, E, and K are needed. Of the mineral components, the presence of iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, zinc, and phosphorus is required.
Types of procedures
There are 2 types of mesotherapy with their own characteristics:
- Allopathic. Allows you to treat baldness and restores damaged hair structure. The cocktails contain natural and synthetic vitamins, amino acids, hyaluronic acid, lipolytics, antioxidants, and vasodilating components. Funds are created in the laboratory and are selected individually. Cocktails act at the cellular level. With them, restoration, nutrition, hydration, removal of toxins, strengthening of roots and hair, stimulation of follicle growth occurs.
- Homeopathic. This procedure is not so popular, it is used less often. With it, the activity of the sebaceous glands is normalized and the appearance of the hair is restored. A minimum concentration of active components is considered a feature. With such tools there is no getting used to, a lasting effect is provided. An advantage is the absence of side effects and the risk of allergies.
Indications
Injections into the scalp for hair growth can improve the appearance of curls, restore sebum secretion, get rid of scalp diseases, and eliminate hair loss. Mesotherapy is used for:
- androgenic alopecia;
- pathology of hair loss;
- itching of the scalp;
- seborrhea;
- brittle hair;
- section and stratification of tips.
Injections do not eliminate the internal causes of the problem, if any. But the procedures cleanse the scalp, enrich the follicles with nutritional components, which leads to the intensive growth of new hair. According to reviews, injections really cope with these problems.
Contraindications
As with any other procedure, injections are not always possible. They are contraindicated in:
- pregnancy
- lactation;
- diabetes mellitus;
- gallstone disease;
- allergies to constituent components;
- acute viral and infectious diseases;
- hypersensitivity of the skin;
- tumors;
- skin inflammation;
- deviations of the mental state;
- decreased immunity;
- low blood coagulability;
- menses.
In these cases, consult your doctor. Probably, another procedure will be selected that will improve hair growth, but it will be safe.
Preparation
Before injecting into the head for hair growth, it is necessary to prepare. Before this, do not use means for fixing the strands - varnishes, foams, gels. They must be abandoned in a few days.
Some believe that if you use painkillers for several days, the procedure will not be very painful. This is not true. Pain medications can cause severe bleeding. Therefore, it is important to inform your doctor about the medication you are taking. On the day of the procedure, you need to wash your hair. After this, you should not wash your hair for at least 5 days, otherwise the result is minimized.
Benefits
According to reviews, injections for hair growth do not cause negative reactions. The procedure is performed using the micropapule technique. The basis is a conditional point at the top of the head, and injections are made on the radial rays emanating from it. Between the points should be 15 mm. Several injections are performed in the neck, as there are points of activation of hair growth.
Cocktails used in mesotherapy act on problem areas, saturating the bulbs with the missing components. The positive effect appears quickly. There is a restoration of the hair structure, normalization of natural hair growth, stabilization of the processes of fat formation.
After injections, stocks of nutrients are formed that will be consumed by the follicles as needed. Vitamin injections for hair growth do not always have a positive result. Mesotherapy will be powerless if the prolapse process is started and connective tissue is formed on the follicles. In this case, injections prepare the skin for hair transplantation.
Effect
According to reviews, after 1 procedure, the result is usually not noticeable. The effect will be visible 3-4 months after the injection. It usually lasts up to 10 months. If the hair structure was severely damaged, for example, there was dryness, brittleness, then the result will be noticeable by the 5th session.
This procedure can also lead to unpleasant consequences:
- puffiness of the scalp;
- soreness, burning at the injection site;
- small wounds, bruising;
- itching after manipulation.
Negative effects after mesotherapy disappear after 3-4 days. If they did not pass, it is worth contacting a specialist who performed the manipulation.
Care
It is necessary to adhere to some measures after mesotherapy, this will help consolidate the result. After the procedure, it is undesirable:
- 2 days to sunbathe in the sun or go to the solarium.
- For 8-10 hours, swim in the bathroom or shower.
- Use hair care cosmetics for 12 hours.
- Perform a head massage.
- Take alcohol and fatty foods.
Injection composition
According to reviews, injections for hair growth can get the result quickly. Usually, several components are used as part of 1 injection. The injection may contain 2-5 ingredients selected individually by the doctor. It is required to take into account the compatibility of the components and the advisability of using drugs in treatment.
Typically, administration sera consist of:
- B vitamins - are needed for the growth of strands, normal metabolism, the formation of pigment.
- Amino acids - are considered "building material" for the formation of curls. Keratin fibers are formed with them.
- Peptides of copper and zinc - contribute to the suppression of the effects of enzymes leading to dystrophy of the hair rods. This is very important if there is adrogenetic alopecia.
- Hyaluronic acid - essential for nourishing the scalp, activating growth processes.
- Coenzyme Q10 - needed to rejuvenate cells, increase their energy, stimulate hair growth, strengthen hair, enhance microcirculation.
- Growth factors - components that restore the blood circulation of the scalp, strengthen the roots, activate the vital activity of the follicles.
The doctor makes the mixture in the presence of the patient, choosing the appropriate components. According to reviews, injections to the head for hair growth are performed after the person was informed about the composition of the injection and its consequences. For 1 procedure, 3 to 5 ml of the healing composition is injected under the skin.
How does it work?
After the injection for hair growth, there will be inflammation at the cellular level at the injection site. First there is a narrowing of blood vessels, and then expansion. Valuable components enter the intercellular space through the walls of the capillaries.
The accumulation of lymphocytes, white blood cells, fibrin, red blood cells is performed. Against this background, biologically active molecules that stimulate growth appear. So the scalp is moisturized, natural processes are stabilized.
What should not be in a cocktail?
Injections into the scalp for hair growth will be effective only with a suitable serum composition. There are components that should not be there. This applies to minoxidil. The substance is effective in combating androgenetic alopecia. It is used when other substances are powerless.
Minoxidil is a toxic component that has many side effects, some reactions are not fully understood. Therefore, it is allowed to use it only externally.
Ready cocktails
Cheaper to prepare a serum based on vitamins in ampoules and other useful components. But the risk of improper combination of ingredients increases if the doctor has insufficient experience, or the effect after the procedure may not appear so quickly.
There are ready-made mesococktails that allow you to perform injections for hair growth for men and women. This is "Keraktiv", "Trinamide", "Dermo Complex." Their composition is such that all components are combined according to pharmacological properties and chemical composition. Distributed products among professionals and medical professionals.
Also, hair growth injections for men and women are performed by the following professional means:
- XL Hair. The composition contains vitamins, circulatory stimulants, activators of cell metabolism.
- F-Hair. Contains vitamin B, zinc, plant extracts, which suppress the effects of androgens.
- Mesoline. The cocktail includes hyaluronic acid, growth factors, copper peptide, coenzyme Q10.
Typically, the compositions are presented in ampoules, ready for use. The price of 1 injection is 1.5-5 thousand rubles, the funds will be enough only for 1 procedure. But the high price is associated with efficiency: balding spots overgrow quickly, hair will grow better, become stronger and healthier.
Can I do at home?
Is it allowed to perform the procedure at home? To do this, use a special tool - a mesoscooter, which is presented in the form of a roller with needles. When used on the scalp, tiny scratches remain through which valuable components penetrate. The use of a mesoscooter is not prohibited. But this procedure can be performed only as a preventive measure. If hair loss is severe, the effect will be small.
A full-fledged effect is achieved only with injectable subcutaneous administration of the composition. Performing injections to the head yourself is prohibited. This is associated not only with complexity and danger, but also with the risk of improper selection of components. Only a doctor based on individual characteristics performs the necessary skin tests, establishes the presence of contraindications. Only a professional knows which means are preferable to use, where to perform the injection, and to what depth.
Ampoule formulations that are used intramuscularly or in the scalp are considered the best remedies for hair loss. If you choose the right drugs, then the procedures will quickly stop the loss and return the curls to their previous density.
