Hair Mesotherapy in Colombia — Nutrients Delivered to the Scalp
If your hair feels weaker, if you are losing density, or if shedding has increased, mesotherapy delivers vitamins, minerals and amino acids straight into the scalp, where the follicle is. It supports the follicle — it does not reverse advanced androgenetic alopecia, and the assessment will tell you honestly which of the two your case is. Cartagena, with consultation days in Bogotá and Medellín.
Vitamins, minerals and growth factors
- WHAT IT IS
Micro-injections of vitamins and nutrients into the scalp
Hair mesotherapy is a non-surgical treatment: a formulation of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and peptides is applied through micro-injections directly into the scalp, at the depth where the follicle sits.
Because it is delivered locally, the active ingredients reach the follicular environment without passing through digestion, and without the systemic effects of an oral treatment. It is a course, not a single session.
- HOW IT ACTS
How mesotherapy acts on the scalp
Six mechanisms explain what mesotherapy does at the scalp.
Direct delivery
Vitamins and minerals reach the follicular environment without passing through digestion.
Better microcirculation
Increases blood flow to the scalp and to the follicle.
Follicular stimulation
Acts on follicles in the resting phase of the hair cycle.
Stronger hair
Aims to reduce shedding and improve the quality of the hair shaft.
Healthier hair cycle
Supports the normal balance between growth and shedding phases.
No systemic effects
Acts locally at the scalp, unlike an oral treatment.
- WHAT IT CONTAINS
What goes into the mesotherapy cocktail
Each cocktail is formulated with medical-grade actives, selected for your diagnosis.
B-complex vitamins
Biotin, B5, B6 and B12 — involved in keratin synthesis.
Essential minerals
Zinc, magnesium, iron and copper — cofactors in hair growth.
Amino acids
Cysteine, methionine and arginine — building blocks of the hair shaft.
Growth factors
Bioactive peptides that act on the follicular environment.
- IS IT FOR ME?
Who is a candidate for hair mesotherapy?
Hair mesotherapy suits a range of situations. Which one is yours is decided at the assessment.
- Early-stage androgenetic alopecia
- Weak, fine or dull hair
- Diffuse shedding
- Telogen effluvium (after stress, illness or childbirth)
- Support after a hair transplant
- Prevention where there is a family history
- STEP BY STEP
How your treatment is done, step by step
A structured process in four stages.
Hair and scalp assessment
Assessment of the scalp, the type and stage of hair loss, and the contributing factors — nutritional, hormonal or stress-related.
Preparing the cocktail
A formulation built for your diagnosis: selection and dosing of the actives your scalp actually needs.
Micro-injections
The cocktail is applied with ultra-fine needles directly into the scalp, across the affected areas.
Follow-up
Periodic check-ups to evaluate the response, document progress with comparative photographs and adjust the protocol.

- FAQ
Frequently asked questions about hair mesotherapy
The questions international patients ask most about hair mesotherapy.
How much does hair mesotherapy cost in Colombia?
The cost of a hair mesotherapy course depends on the number of sessions and the formulation used. The exact quote is given at the assessment consultation. International patients can request the equivalent in US dollars before traveling.
How many sessions do I need?
A course of 4 to 8 sessions, usually every two weeks, followed by maintenance. The exact number depends on your diagnosis and on how your scalp responds.
Does it hurt?
Discomfort is limited. The micro-injections use ultra-fine needles and topical anesthetic can be applied beforehand. Most patients describe brief stinging.
When will I see results?
First changes are usually noticed from the third or fourth session, with the fuller picture at 3 to 6 months. Hair grows on its own cycle and no treatment shortens that.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Mesotherapy is frequently combined with exosome therapy and with oral or topical treatments. The combination is planned at the assessment rather than added session by session.
Are there side effects?
Side effects are mild and temporary: slight redness, tenderness or small bruises on the scalp for a day or two. The treatment acts locally, which is why it avoids the systemic effects of oral options.
Does hair mesotherapy work for women?
Yes, and female pattern hair loss is one of the situations where it is most used — often alongside investigation of the underlying cause, because in women diffuse shedding frequently has a nutritional or hormonal driver that needs addressing too.
Can I see Dr. Vives in Bogotá or Medellín?
Yes. Dr. Vives is based in Cartagena, where he sees patients on a regular weekly schedule at his practice in Bocagrande. He also travels to Bogotá and Medellín on scheduled dates each month and sees patients at a partner clinic in each city, following the same assessment protocol.
Mesotherapy sessions are performed in all three cities. Because the course runs every two weeks, the schedule is arranged around the confirmed consultation dates, and follow-up between sessions can be done online.
Because Bogotá and Medellín are consultation days rather than permanent offices, dates are confirmed before you travel. Request the next available date through the form and we will confirm the city and the date with you. If you are traveling from abroad, you can also start with an online consultation before booking your trip.
