Loss of density, thinning hair, seasonal shedding, or early baldness… More and more patients are seeking natural, effective, and non-invasive solutions to stimulate hair regrowth.
Two treatments currently dominate the field of hair medicine: PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and scalp mesotherapy.

They are often confused, yet their mechanisms, indications, and results are different.
This ANAGEN guide clearly explains which solution is best suited to your situation.

What is PRP for hair?

PRP is an autologous treatment: it uses your own blood.

• A blood sample is taken.

• The platelet-rich plasma is isolated by centrifugation.

• This concentrate is injected into the weakened areas of the scalp.

How does it work?

PRP contains growth factors that can:

• stimulate the activity of hair follicles,

• prolong the hair growth phase (anagen),

• increase microcirculation,

• slow down hair loss.

👉 It is a deep, regenerating treatment, ideal for diffuse shedding or thinning hair.

Results

• Stimulated regrowth within 8–12 weeks

• Thicker and more resilient hair

• Clear reduction in hair loss

• Lasting improvement with multiple sessions

What is scalp mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy involves injecting a cocktail of micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, light hyaluronic acid according to protocols) into the scalp.

How does it work?

These micro-injections nourish the scalp and strengthen the biological environment of the hair:

• better hydration of the scalp,

• stimulation of microcirculation,

• improvement in hair quality,

• reduction of seasonal shedding.

👉 It is a "nutritional" treatment, ideal for revitalising and strengthening.

Results

• Brighter hair

• Healthier scalp

• Reduction of mild to moderate shedding

• Progressive improvement over a few weeks

PRP vs Mesotherapy: what are the differences?

While both share the same goal — improving the quality and density of hair — their mechanisms are distinct.

Main differences

• PRP → deep regeneration, direct stimulation of the follicle

• Mesotherapy → nutrition and revitalisation of the scalp

• PRP → more medical treatment, with growth factors

• Mesotherapy → gentler, lighter solution

• PRP → ideal for moderate or early-stage loss

• Mesotherapy → perfect for seasonal shedding or tired hair

👉 At ANAGEN, we use both according to needs, or in a combined treatment for maximum results.

Which treatment is best suited for your case?

Choose PRP if:

• your hair is thinning,

• you are observing a loss of density,

• the shedding is established,

• you want to stimulate regrowth more deeply,

• you have undergone a hair transplant (PRP is ideal post-op).

Choose mesotherapy if:

• your scalp is dry, sensitive, or poorly nourished,

• your hair lacks vitality,

• the shedding is mild or seasonal,

• you want a gentler solution for maintaining your hair.
