Hair Mesotherapy
What Is Hair Mesotherapy?
The Most Direct Way to Nourish Your Hair Follicles
Hair mesotherapy is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment for hair loss and thinning hair that delivers a precisely formulated cocktail of active ingredients directly into the scalp via microinjections. Rather than relying on oral supplements or topical products to find their way to the follicle through digestion, systemic circulation and the skin barrier mesotherapy places the active ingredients exactly where they need to be.
At Faceit by Ian in Walton-on-Thames, Ian uses ARES HB – a professional complex solution formulated specifically for the most common scalp conditions. ARES HB combines growth factor complexes, Swertia Japonica Extract (a 5α-reductase inhibitor that reduces DHT at the follicle level), biotin, vitamins B1/B5/B6, keratin and ferrous gluconate in a single session.
Sessions take approximately 30 minutes. No downtime. The intensive initial phase involves 4 sessions spaced 1–2 weeks apart, followed by monthly maintenance. £120 per session.
The Clinical Science
How Hair Mesotherapy Addresses Hair Loss at the Root
Hair mesotherapy works through two simultaneous mechanisms the direct delivery of active ingredients AND the physical stimulation of microcirculation from the injections themselves.
Understanding DHT and Hair Loss
DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is the primary cause of androgenetic alopecia — pattern hair loss in both men and women. It is produced when the enzyme 5α-reductase converts testosterone to DHT in the scalp follicle environment.
DHT binds to androgen receptors in the hair follicle and causes progressive follicle miniaturisation: each hair growth cycle produces a shorter, thinner hair strand until the follicle eventually stops producing hair entirely. This process explains why hair loss is progressive and why early intervention produces the best results.
- ARES HB inhibits 5α-reductase locally – reducing DHT at the follicle
- No systemic side effects vs oral DHT blockers (finasteride, dutasteride)
- Swertia Japonica Extract has clinically documented 5α-reductase inhibition
- Effective for both androgenetic alopecia and stress/nutritional hair loss
- Best results with early intervention – active follicles respond best
Who It Helps
Hair Conditions Treated by Mesotherapy at Faceit by Ian
Androgenetic Alopecia (Pattern Hair Loss)
The most common cause of hair loss in both men and women. DHT-driven follicle miniaturisation is directly addressed by ARES HB's Swertia Japonica 5α-reductase inhibitor making hair mesotherapy particularly effective for pattern thinning.
Diffuse Hair Thinning
Overall reduction in hair density across the scalp common in women responds well to the follicle nourishment, microcirculation improvement and growth factor stimulation of ARES HB mesotherapy.
Post-Partum Hair Loss
The hormonal changes following pregnancy often produce significant temporary hair shedding. Hair mesotherapy supports follicle recovery and accelerates the return to the active growth phase for post-partum clients.
Stress-Related Hair Loss
Telogen effluvium (stress-induced mass shedding) can respond well to mesotherapy's growth factor stimulation and follicle nourishment encouraging dormant follicles triggered into the resting phase by stress to return to active growth.
Hair Mesotherapy - Frequently Asked Questions
Hair mesotherapy works best on areas where follicles are still present but miniaturised or dormant it cannot regenerate follicles that are completely inactive or have been absent for many years. Early intervention on thinning areas produces the best outcomes. Ian will assess your scalp at consultation and advise honestly on expected results for your specific pattern and stage of hair loss.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) uses the patient’s own blood plasma, which is rich in growth factors, injected into the scalp. Hair mesotherapy injects a professionally formulated cocktail of specific active ingredients (growth factors, DHT inhibitors, biotin, B vitamins, keratin) from ARES HB. Both stimulate follicles through different mechanisms. Ian can advise on which approach is most appropriate for your hair loss type at consultation.
Absolutely — Korean hair and scalp care philosophy has long emphasised treating the scalp as skin that requires the same clinical-grade attention as the face. K-beauty’s scalp care products are among the most sophisticated globally, and the mesotherapy philosophy of delivering active ingredients precisely where they are needed aligns directly with K-beauty’s cellular-first approach. Ian’s Exoblanc Korean skincare range reflects this same philosophy applied to the face.
Hair mesotherapy results develop progressively over months — it is not an immediate transformation. Most clients begin noticing reduced hair shedding within the first few sessions, followed by visible improvements in hair density, strand thickness and overall scalp health over the subsequent months. A full course of 15–20 sessions is recommended to achieve optimum results.
Hair mesotherapy using ARES HB is available at Faceit by Ian, Studio 35, Walton Business Centre, 44–46 Terrace Road, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey KT12 2SD. £120 per session.

ARES HB contains natural and biotech active ingredients with an established safety profile. The treatment is generally well tolerated. Some sensitivity at injection sites is normal and temporary. Ian advises clients with known scalp conditions, autoimmune conditions or sensitivities at the consultation stage to ensure ARES HB is appropriate for their individual health profile.
