Androgenetic alopecia is the most common cause of alopecia (loss of hair from the scalp) in men. It starts with a specific pattern, usually in the temporal area, then at the top of the scalp and finally these two areas merge. It is due to heredity but also to the effect of androgens on the hereditary "sensitive" hair follicles. There is also androgenetic alopecia which affects women, it has a different pattern of development, but the exact same etiology.

The classic treatments we have are:
- Dietary supplements with vitamins-traces-minerals-amino acids: These provide the "building blocks" of keratin to strengthen the hair (and nails). Thus, the hair grows "bulky" and is stronger and healthier. The head that has now better quality hair looks fuller
- Minoxidil spray or foam: this medicine locally inhibits an enzyme at the root of the hair. This enzyme is responsible for the conversion of testosterone into a more aggressive form, which "kills" the hair.
- Finasteride pills: They do the same thing as minoxidil lotion, but are even more effective because they are an internal (systemic) treatment.
Autologous mesotherapy (PRP) in the treatment of alopecia - hair loss
PRP is plasma containing over 300-350,000 platelets/uL. It is isolated by the process of centrifugation, after we take a small amount of blood from the patient (20 to 40 ml). The PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatment is based on the use of growth factors that are released from the platelets contained in our blood (we cause the release of growth factors from platelets using a special activator solution). These growth factors are natural components of our body. These are proteins that are contained in platelets with the ability to enhance the regenerative and anaplastic of tissues that are malfunctioning or have suffered some damage. The growth factors reactivate the adult dormant stem cells of the area (with the ultimate goal of creating new hair follicles), activate the proliferation of cells in the area resulting in better blood supply to the scalp area.

The first results which are immediately noticeable are the improvement of the quality of the hair.
Strengthening, greater diameter (thickening) and length is observed in the hairs we already have on our scalp.
In this way, our head looks fuller as each hair has more volume and shine and health!
The result is achieved gradually, so there is no lack of relaxation in the area. Usually 3 sessions are required (with a maximum of 6 sessions) which take place every 6 weeks. The cost of each session is 80 euros.
For an even better result we suggest the above lipolysis treatment to combined with Strikecell surface mesotherapy which impart hydration, firming and radiance to the overall improvement of the skin's surface. Recommended scheme of 3 sessions, which take place per month. Cost of each treatment 50 euros.
But it's important to remember that just like liposuction, injections only treat fat. They will not heal excess skin, so the skin in the area must have enough elasticity to bounce back after the fat is dissolved.
Before undergoing deoxycholic acid treatments, the doctor must evaluate and determine if the problem is the fat deposition and that by removing it there will be no problem with skin laxity (patients who do not have good breaking, elasticity and recovery on their skin are not good candidates for the treatment).
