What is “Shock Loss,” which is seen in the first week after hair transplantation, and how do hair treatments affect this process?

Moximu Yazılım ve Dijital Pazarlama — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:10:38 +0000

Shock shedding is the sudden loss of almost 70-80% of transplanted hair follicles between the 2nd and 4th weeks after a hair transplant operation. Although this may frighten patients, it is a completely normal and physiological process. The reason is that the hair follicles, due to the temporary lack of oxygen (ischemia-reperfusion trauma) they experience during harvesting and transplantation, shed their hair shafts and enter a resting phase to protect themselves; the roots remain alive under the skin. PRP and nourishing mesotherapies started during this period ensure that the roots emerge much faster from the shock phase, directly supporting the growth of thicker, fuller, and healthier new hair strands upwards.

Can people who wear hair prostheses (wigs) receive hair treatment for their own hair underneath?

Moximu Yazılım ve Dijital Pazarlama — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:10:03 +0000

Yes, they can have them, but using hair prostheses is a major drawback for the underlying healthy hair follicles. Hair prostheses are fixed to the scalp with special, strong medical adhesives (liquid adhesive or double-sided tape). These adhesives prevent the scalp from breathing, disrupt sebum balance, and clog pores, which causes the weak hair underneath to fall out even faster (traction alopecia and hair loss due to lack of air). These individuals can extend the life of the underlying follicles by undergoing intensive cleansing treatments and hair mesotherapy in a clinical setting on the days they have their hair removed for prosthesis maintenance, after the adhesives have been completely removed.

What does “Ozone Hair Mesotherapy” (Ozone Therapy) mean in hair loss treatment, and what are its benefits for hair?

Moximu Yazılım ve Dijital Pazarlama — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:09:27 +0000

Ozone hair mesotherapy is an advanced protocol performed by integrating microdoses of ozone gas ($O_3$) into standard mesotherapy cocktails, either immediately before or within the cocktail. Ozone has a very high oxygen-carrying capacity. When injected into the scalp, it instantly resolves hypoxia (lack of oxygen) in the tissues, increases the elasticity of red blood cells in the capillaries, and allows more blood to flow to the hair follicles. It also stimulates cellular immunity in the scalp and eliminates pathogens such as fungi and bacteria that trigger hair loss. It creates an oxygen doping effect on the hair follicles.

Can hair treatments stimulate new hair growth in areas where hair follicles are completely dead (bare, shiny skin)?

Moximu Yazılım ve Dijital Pazarlama — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:08:55 +0000

No, this is medically impossible, and realistic expectations should be maintained. For all clinical treatments like hair mesotherapy, PRP, or laser hair removal to be effective, there must be a hair follicle that is still “alive but weakened and miniaturized” (turned into a fine downy hair), where cell production hasn’t completely stopped. If the scalp has become completely smooth and has a shiny, marble-like appearance, this indicates that the hair follicles have completely disappeared and been replaced by fibrotic connective tissue. No amount of vitamins or lasers can revive a dead root; at this stage, the only definitive solution is a hair transplant operation.

Will hair loss completely stop after hair mesotherapy sessions, or will maintenance sessions be necessary?

Moximu Yazılım ve Dijital Pazarlama — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:08:26 +0000

Hair mesotherapy sessions (usually 6-8 sessions) maximize hair quality, stop hair loss, and revitalize dormant follicles. However, if the hair loss is due to “genetic (androgenic)” causes, the body continues to produce DHT hormone, and after 4-6 months of treatment, the follicles may begin to be suppressed by hormones again, and hair loss may gradually return. To prevent this and maintain the gained hair for life, a “maintenance session” phase should be initiated after the intensive treatment. A single booster session every 3 or 6 months, depending on the individual’s hair loss rate, ensures that the follicles remain continuously active.

How do at-home Dermaroller or Dermastamp devices enhance the effectiveness of hair treatments, and what should the needle size be?

Moximu Yazılım ve Dijital Pazarlama — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:07:54 +0000

At-home dermaroller or dermastamp (microneedling), applied once a week, creates micro-channels in the scalp, increasing the absorption of at-home hair serums (minoxidil, peptide solutions, etc.) by up to 800% compared to normal application. It also locally stimulates growth factors. The safest and most effective needle size for at-home scalp use is between 0.5 mm and 0.75 mm. Needles of 1.0 mm and larger can lead to infection if sterilization is inadequate in a home environment, or, in untrained hands, can mechanically cut hair follicles, causing permanent hair loss. The device must be sterilized with 70% alcohol before and after the procedure.

Why does hair suddenly fall out during periods of intense stress, and what is the effect of the hormone “cortisol” on hair follicles?

Moximu Yazılım ve Dijital Pazarlama — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:07:23 +0000

Under intense and chronic stress, the body releases high levels of the hormones “cortisol” and “adrenaline.” High cortisol levels reduce the synthesis of building blocks like hyaluronic acid and proteoglycans, which are located in the matrix surrounding hair follicles and are responsible for hair growth, by 40%. More importantly, cortisol prematurely and en masse pushes hair follicles from the growth (anagen) phase into the resting (telogen) phase. Approximately 2-3 months after the stressful event (the time hair remains in the telogen phase), these hairs begin to fall out in masses during showering and brushing. Clinical hair treatments counteract the destructive effects of cortisol during this process, forcing the follicles back into the anagen phase.

Why is hair dyeing or chemical treatments (perm, blow-drying) prohibited for the first 3 days after hair treatments (PRP/Mesotherapy)?

Moximu Yazılım ve Dijital Pazarlama — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:06:53 +0000

Following hair treatments, the scalp undergoes a micro-inflammatory process (healing reaction) due to needle punctures, and the scalp barrier is permeable. Hair dyes, bleaches, and perm solutions contain high levels of aggressive chemicals such as ammonia, peroxide, and p-phenylenediamine (PPD). Using these chemicals immediately after the procedure can cause the substances to penetrate directly into the deep tissue through these micro-holes, leading to chemical burns, severe allergic contact dermatitis, and even chemical poisoning of hair follicles resulting in permanent hair loss (scarring alopecia). Chemical treatments should be postponed for at least one week.

What is the hormonal mechanism of hair loss seen in women after menopause and what treatments are applied?

Moximu Yazılım ve Dijital Pazarlama — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:06:20 +0000

During menopause, the levels of estrogen and progesterone hormones in a woman’s body experience a sharp decline. Estrogen is the most important female hormone, extending the hair’s growth (anagen) phase and protecting it. When these hormones decrease, the small amount of androgen (male) hormones naturally present in a woman’s body become dominant, and hair follicles begin to be exposed to the destructive effects of DHT hormone, just like in men; this is called “Male-pattern baldness in women.” In this process, vitamin mesotherapy alone is insufficient for treatment; a combination of peptide-based hair fillers that locally block DHT in the scalp, hair laser treatment, and salmon DNA treatments that indirectly support estrogen synthesis should be used.

How do local steroid injections used in the treatment of alopecia areata differ from standard hair treatments?

Moximu Yazılım ve Dijital Pazarlama — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:05:50 +0000

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease caused by the body’s own immune system (T cells) perceiving hair follicles as a foreign enemy and attacking them; it is not a vitamin deficiency. Therefore, standard hair mesotherapy treatments are ineffective in the initial stages of alopecia areata. Treatment involves injecting a very low dose of Triamcinolone Acetonide (local steroid/cortisone) into the hairless circular areas using an insulin needle. The cortisone suppresses the overactive immune attack (inflammation) in that area, relieving pressure on the hair follicles and allowing them to produce hair again. Hair mesotherapy treatments can be used as a supportive treatment after the attack has stopped.
