Carboxytherapy or scalp mesotherapy — how they differ and which to choose

Two treatments, two mechanisms

The simplest way to put it: carboxytherapy changes the environment the follicle lives in; mesotherapy feeds the follicle directly. The end goal — healthier hair growth — is similar, but the route there is different.

Who benefits more — and why

Both treatments can deliver very good results for hair loss — but each suits a slightly different underlying cause. It helps to know which argument favours which.

What a series looks like — and what to expect

Both carboxytherapy and mesotherapy are series-based treatments — a single visit rarely delivers the full result. The hair follicle has a natural growth cycle that doesn't change overnight. That's why the same principle applies to both: results build up gradually and require consistency.

1. 01

   Consultation & assessment

   Assessment of your scalp condition, health history and the type of hair loss. This is the key step — it determines which treatment is chosen and, for mesotherapy, which cocktail.

2. 02

   Series of treatments

   Several sessions at regular intervals are usually recommended. The series is set individually — it depends on how severe the problem is and how your scalp responds.

3. 03

   First results

   For many people, reduced hair loss and improved hair condition become noticeable during or after the first series. New hair growth appears with a natural delay — growth takes time.

4. 04

   Maintenance sessions

   After completing the series, some people choose to continue with maintenance visits — less frequent, but regular. The specialist sets the frequency based on the results achieved.

Is it worth combining them?

Carboxytherapy and mesotherapy aren't mutually exclusive — in practice they often complement each other and can be used together in one treatment plan. The logic is simple: CO₂ improves blood supply and clears the way. The active ingredients from mesotherapy then have a better chance of reaching the follicle.
