Questions about this service at La Rose

Because among the commonest causes of hair loss are iron and ferritin deficiency, vitamin D deficiency and thyroid dysfunction, none of which is solved by a topical product. Once we know the cause, treatment is more targeted and more durable.

In many cases there is a link. Insulin resistance and PCOS can show on the skin as hormonal acne and excess hair. Some nutritional deficiencies, such as iron or zinc deficiency, can contribute to hair shedding or skin changes. That is why the dermatology and nutrition departments work together here.

They can improve, but the expectation has to be realistic: recent marks (red) respond far better than old ones (white). The consultation sets out the options that suit your case.

Do not stop it yourself. Shedding may relate to the pace of loss, too little protein or energy, iron or thyroid problems, a scalp condition, or the medicine. Review timing, food and treatment with the prescriber, and arrange dermatology assessment for patches, inflammation or marked loss.

No. Hair loss is a symptom with different causes, and a local procedure does not automatically treat iron deficiency, thyroid disease or a scalp disorder. Diagnosis comes first; then the clinician can explain whether mesotherapy has a role, the limits of evidence, risks and alternatives.

Dark circles and dullness have many causes, and results depend on the cause and injected substance; there is no universal protocol or guarantee. Dermatology assessment separates pigment, vessels, allergy, volume loss or an internal cause and explains whether injection or another option is more appropriate.
