Hair lends shape to one’s overall appearance. Beautiful, full hair radiates health and youthfulness and is not least an expression of lifestyle, taste and the scene of personal processes of change. If it diminishes, falls out or its condition changes for the worse, it can be extremely stressful.
Around 1.4 million* people in Germany suffer from alopecia , or hair loss. Even if there are many people affected, it doesn’t make it any easier for the individual. Especially not if the hair loss occurs at a young age and is not part of the “normal” aging process. It is therefore particularly important to us to address this sensitive issue.
Based on the latest medical findings and methods, we at YY Aesthetics can improve the “status quo” – depending on the cause. The latter are diverse and decisive for the success of the treatment. An individual consultation to determine the origin of the hair loss before treatment is therefore particularly important.
PRP treatment against hair loss is offered in our practice in Stuttgart .

AUTOLOGOUS BLOOD STIMULATES HAIR GROWTH
An effective method against hair loss is “platelet rich plasma” therapy, or PRP therapy for short. The patient’s own blood is processed in such a way that growth factors, micronutrients and other valuable blood components are enriched in the blood plasma and injected into the areas of the scalp (subepidermal and subcutaneous skin layer) affected with hair loss or thinning (e.g. receding hairline). The mesopistol is used for this: it shoots the platelet-rich plasma very quickly and specifically under the skin. The revitalizing serum can thus be applied particularly carefully and with limited pain.
The hair follicles in the scalp are surrounded by and supplied with the body’s own nutrient cocktail. Growth factors stimulate the hair stem cells to divide and mature. New blood vessels form around the hair follicles, which improves their blood supply and provides them with a lasting supply of nutrients. Hair growth is stimulated, the hair follicles live longer and hair density increases.
Good results can be achieved with PRP treatment, particularly in the case of androgenic alopecia, congenital hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) and circular hair loss (alopecia areata).
SIGNIFICANT RESULTS ARE VISIBLE AFTER TWO TO THREE TREATMENTS
A PRP session lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. To achieve maximum treatment success, we recommend 2 to 3 treatments at intervals of 2 weeks over 2 months. The first effects can be seen after justone week. The final result is visible after 4-6 weeks. To maintain this, the treatment should be repeated once or twice a year.
ENDOGENOUS AND HARMLESS
As these are the body’s own substances that are injected into the scalp, they are extremely well tolerated. Side effects are rare and harmless. Bruises (hematomas) disappear on their own within a few days. Treatment with the mesopistol is nearly pain-free. However, a burning sensation may occur on the scalp. To make the treatment as comfortable as possible, an anesthetic ointment is applied in advance to make the scalp less sensitive.
