When needed?
Injections for hair growth are necessary for various ailments, in the treatment of which it is necessary to replenish vitamin "reserves". Not always valuable components are fully absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. That is why vitamins are administered intramuscularly.
Hair loss is usually associated with beriberi. Therefore, in the treatment of baldness, the doctor prescribes vitamin and mineral complexes and special preparations. If after 2 months there are no positive changes, and the tests indicate a lack of vitamins, then vitamins are prescribed intramuscularly. According to reviews, injections help eliminate the problem of hair loss.
Terms of Use
Perform injectionsintramuscularly is easy. If you have the skills, you can inject vitamins yourself. Injections are made in the gluteal muscle or in the upper thigh.
But, if the procedures will be performed independently, the following nuances must be taken into account:
- It is allowed to use vitamins intramuscularly on your own only with a doctor's prescription. Do not arbitrarily make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment, as you can harm your he alth.
- Do not mix vitamins, some of them are not 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, hands are washed well with soap and water, the injection site is treated with an alcohol solution. A new syringe is used for each session. These measures help prevent accidental infection.
If these rules are followed, hair growth injections will be effective and safe. According to reviews, after the procedures a positive result is observed.
Destination
From the loss of curls, intramuscular injections of B vitamins are required. The following vitamins are usually used:
- B1. 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, and stress. Because of this, severe hair loss occurs.
- B6. Participates in the metabolism of proteins and fats, the component is needed for the normal functioning of the liver, allows nerve cells to absorb glucose. With a deficiency, the whole body becomes weakand hair follicles.
- B12. This vitamin includes cob alt, a trace element valuable for the body. Lack of B12 causes a violation of enzymatic reactions, destabilization of liver functions, and impaired hematopoiesis. Outwardly, the deficiency is manifested by weight loss, loss of appetite, hair loss.
Injections for hair growth are prescribed to patients individually. Taking into account the characteristics of the organism, 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.

Scalp mesotherapy
In order to replenish the balance of nutrients, injections are prescribed in 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.
Vitamins in ampoules are used for injections in the head for hair growth. With a syringe, the healing solution is injected to a depth of several millimeters.

- Allopathic. Allows you to treat baldness and restores damaged hair structure. The cocktails contain natural and synthetic vitamins, amino acids, hyaluronic acid, lipolytics, antioxidants, vasodilators. Means are created in the laboratory and are selected individually. Cocktails act at the cellular level. They restore, nourish, moisturize, remove toxins, strengthen roots and hair, stimulate follicle growth.
- 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 feature is the minimum concentration of active ingredients. With such means there is no addiction, a long-term effect is provided.

Benefits
According to reviews, injections for hair growth do not cause negative reactions. The procedure is performed using the micropapules technique. The basis is a conditional point at the top of the head, and injections are made according to the rays emanating from it radially. There should be 15 mm between the points. 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 fat formation processes.
After injections, reserves of nutrients are formed, which will be consumed by the follicles as needed. Injections of vitamins 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, the 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 backfire:
- puffiness of the scalp;
- soreness, burning at the injection sitefunds;
- small wounds, bruises;
- itch after manipulation.

Composition of injections
According to reviews, hair growth injections allow you to get results quickly. Usually several components are used as part of 1 injection. The injection may contain 2-5 ingredients selected by the doctor individually. It is required to take into account the compatibility of the components and the appropriateness of the use of drugs in the treatment.
Usually serums for administration consist of:
- Vitamins of group B - needed for the growth of strands, normal metabolism, pigment formation.
- Amino acids - are considered "building material" for the formation of curls. Keratin fibers are formed with them.
- Copper and zinc peptide - contribute to the suppression of the effects of enzymes that lead to dystrophy of the hair shafts. This is very important if you have androgenetic alopecia.
- Hyaluronic acid - necessary to nourish the scalp, activate growth processes.
- Coenzyme Q10 - needed to rejuvenate cells, increase their energy, stimulate hair growth, strengthen hair, enhance microcirculation.
- Growth factors - components that restore blood circulation to the scalp, strengthen the roots, activate the vital activity of the follicle.
The doctor makes the mixture in the presence of the patient, choosing the appropriate components. According to reviews, injections in the head for hair growth are performed after the person has been informed about the composition of the injection and its consequences. For 1 procedure, from 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 injection site, which occurs at the cellular level. First there is a narrowing of the vessels, and then expansion. Valuable components enter the intercellular space through the walls of capillaries.
Accumulation of lymphocytes, leukocytes, fibrin, erythrocytes. Against this background, biologically active molecules appear that stimulate growth. 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 shouldn't be there. This applies to minoxidil. The substance is effective in the fight against androgenetic alopecia. It is used when other substances are powerless.
Minoxidil is a toxic compound that has many side effects, some reactions are not fully understood. Therefore, it is only allowed to use it externally.
Cocktails
Cheaper to prepare a serum based on vitamins in ampoules and other useful ingredients. But the risk of the wrong combination of ingredients increases if the doctor is not experienced enough, or the effect after the procedure may not appear so quickly.
There are ready-made meso-cocktails that allow you to perform hair growth injections for men and women. These are "Keraktiv", "Trinamide", "Dermo V complex". Their composition is such that all components are combined in terms of pharmacological properties and chemical composition. Products distributed among professionals and medical workers.
Also, injections for hair growth 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 that lead to the suppression of androgen effects.
- Mesoline. Cocktail includes hyaluronic acid, growth factors, copper peptide, coenzyme Q10.
Usually formulations are presented in ampoules ready for use. The price of 1 injection is 1.5-5 thousand rubles, the funds are enough for only 1 procedure. But the high price is associated with efficiency: balding places grow quickly, hair will grow better, become stronger and he althier.
Can I make it at home?
Is it allowed to perform the procedure at home? For this, a special tool is used - a mesoscooter, which is presented in the form of a roller with needles. When using itthe smallest scratches remain on the scalp 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 the hair loss is severe, the effect will be small.
The full effect is achieved only with subcutaneous injection of the composition. It is forbidden to perform injections in the head on your own. 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 tools are preferable to use, where to inject and to what depth.
Formulations in ampoules, which 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.
