The Basics of Mesotherapy III. Cocktails

The ingredients of mesotherapy cocktails

We have reached the third and final part of our series, in which we discuss the (main) ingredients behind the success of mesotherapy. There are many different cocktails available on the market, yet the best ones are those put together by specialist doctors, tailored to the individual. A more detailed description of this can be found in the previous two articles, as can the about the course of the procedure and about a very specific tool, about the Dermaroller. By clicking on the highlighted words, you can access the missing content, and let's dive into the rest together.

The elite of active ingredients: peptides

Peptides can be grouped according to the number of amino acid units that make them up. These amino acid unit bonds are the same kind of enzymes that occur naturally in the body, so their effective breakdown is not a problem. Interestingly, a chain of more than 100 amino acid units is no longer called a peptide, but a protein.

Generally, the fewer chains a peptide consists of, the smaller its molecular structure, which makes it easy to deliver to the affected area. An average mesotherapy cocktail contains about 50 active ingredients, so it's no surprise that peptides are represented in high numbers and a wide variety. A good example of this is the effective Dermaheal HL cocktail, whose active components are mostly made up of the following: GF sh-Oligopeptide-2, sh-Polypeptide-1, sh-Polypeptide-9, Copper Tripeptide-1, and that's not even all of them.

A Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 for example, it encourages the body to begin intensive collagen production, and by blocking key enzymes it reduces collagen degradation, which is why it has become a popular ingredient in anti-aging treatments.

Everything is clear, but which one is good for the hair?

The positive effects of peptides could be listed almost endlessly, so let's get to the point the dear reader probably clicked here for. Although peptides form an integral part of the cocktails, it is also essential to add a few other substances for the success of those fighting hair loss. Below I will highlight a few active ingredients, but keep in mind that, due to the uniqueness of the serums compiled during the pre-treatment consultation, this list will almost certainly be incomplete.

• Vitamins (A, C, D, E, Biotin, Niacin) - Antioxidants, cell stimulation, revitalizing effect, anti-aging

• Minerals - (Zinc, iron, copper) - Mineral intake is not only important in terms of hair loss, but it also has a major effect on stimulating the hair follicles.

• Organic silicon - Accelerating skin regeneration, formation of elastic fibers, skin rejuvenation

• Hyaluronic acid - Strongly hydrating, it binds water, forming a protective layer on the hair strands and helping them shine.

• Copper peptides - They play a major role in the period after hair transplantation, as their regenerative capacity is extremely effective, but they also strengthen existing hair and stimulate its growth. Copper peptides are also able to clear damaged collagen and elastin from the skin and scar tissue.

• Proteins - Protein intake is essential for the human body, since proteins are responsible for cell growth. A protein deficiency can be noticed in your hair: if you find that your hair is dry and brittle, there is a good chance you need to replenish it, since the body withdraws supply from the hair follicles first.

• Rutin and Melilot extract - Stimulates blood circulation, helps prevent the loss of vitamin C from the body during oxidation processes, and helps prevent collagen loss.

We don't think further detail is necessary, since the initial phase of every therapy is full information, so every one of our patients begins treatment with well-founded knowledge. We hope that over the course of our three-part article series we have managed to give a comprehensive picture of this type of regenerative therapy, and we trust that you too will soon be convinced of our expertise.
