Getting To The Root Of Hair Loss
Beverly Hills cosmetic doctor administers "MesoHair" treatments for
preventing hair loss and re-growing new locks.
About 40% of women around the world will suffer from thinning hair or hair loss, while 50% of men will experience some type of hair loss by age 50.
Losing hair for women is like losing their “crowning glory” while men associate hair loss with loss of youth and sex appeal.
Now there’s MesoHair, a series of virtually painless injections
of vitamins, minerals, and DHT blockers directed into the scalp to effectively
aid in hair re-growth in women experiencing certain types of hair loss and
reversing male pattern baldness in men.
Sam Assassa M.D., Medical Director of Beverly Hills Aesthetics in Beverly Hills,
CA, uses Mesotherapy in women experiencing post-partum hair loss and
peri-menospausal or menopausal hair loss. In addition, Mesotherapy has elicited
a good response in younger men experiencing early stages of male pattern
baldness.
Originally a medical technique devised in 1952 by Frenchman Dr. Michel Pistor to
treat such conditions as Rheumatology, Sports Traumatology, Infectious diseases,
Vascular diseases and the improvement of circulation, Mesotherapy has
subsequently been extremely successful in the treatment of aesthetic conditions
most commonly spot fat reduction and the elimination of cellulite.
Now, Dr. Assassa has found that Mesotherapy used as a prolonged treatment of a series of eight to twelve, monthly injections, should help both men and women with hair loss.
Once-a-month maintenance therapy continues to enhance the existing hair.
According to Dr. Assassa, “Mesotherapy replaces the vitamins and minerals that
the body loses as we age. The medications in Mesotherapy treatments cause an
increase in blood circulation to the scalp area and stimulates the hair
follicles.”
MesoHair, through micro-injections delivers specially formulated FDA approved
concoction under the scalp straight to the hair follicles. This mixture delivers
long-acting neutralizing effects on the DHT hormone produced in the body,
allowing for hairs to grow. An excess of the DHT (dehydrotestosterone) hormone
causes hair loss.
Dr. Assassa stresses that this is not a cure for hair loss, but certainly a
safe, simple and cost-effective option to treat certain conditions. As Dr.
Assassa states, “MesoHair restoration therapy can in some cases eliminate the
need for hair transplant.” For more information about the cosmetic services
