• Loss of hair volume,
• Dandruff and scalp itching.

Principles of Treating Hair Volume Loss:

This includes PRP therapy, mesotherapy, and ozone therapy. These procedures are course-based, each with its frequency and interval.

The essence of injections is to activate your own stem cells in the so-called balge zone of the hair. This is the area of skin near the hair where lifelong stem cells are located. After hair falls out, these cells migrate to the germ zone of the hair follicle, initiating the growth of a new hair shaft. This is how hair renewal occurs. These balge zone stem cells are also used by our body to restore skin integrity after injuries, burns, cuts. The quantitative potential of the balge zone is very high and designed for a lifetime.

What do injections do? They create a microenvironment for a more active state of stem cells, ‘awakened’ cells actively migrate to the germ zone, and as a result of rapid hair growth, the number of single hair units decreases. Hair becomes thicker because the physiological number of hairs in a hair unit is restored. This means that normally 2 to 5 coarse hairs, on average, depending on race and age, should emerge from one hair follicle opening on the scalp, which is not the case with alopecia. ‘Sleeping’ units are also awakened, increasing the density of hair units per cm2.
