The injection is intended for the treatment of alopecia, thinning and aging hair
The treatment of hair loss requires a diagnosis made by a dermatologist, after all there are many types of alopecia, which can be genetic or induced, for example, and telogen effluvium, intense hair loss due to an associated problem (such as diet or the stress ).
“In addition to oxidative stress which also affects the hair bulb, alopecia includes cellular aging localized in the hair follicle of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, which in turn is affected by a physiological decline in cellular functions. To cure it, therefore, we must also think about ‘rejuvenating’ the skin of the scalp, stimulating cell and collagen multiplication to improve the anchoring of the threads”, he explains. Brazilian lilliandermatologist specialized in Hair Medicine, member of the Brazilian Society of Dermatology and coordinator and speaker of events on hair treatments.
To fill this gap, an injectable hyaluronic acid enriched with various nutrients is already available in Brazil to treat baldness.
“With the treatment, we were able to promote antioxidant action in dermal cells including endothelial cells, stimulation of cell metabolism and hydration, as well as follicular renewal, keratin formation, as well as the synthesis of several hormones to the production of vitamin B3, essential for the health of the capillaries by regulating growth based on the hair cycle”, adds the doctor.
Use of injectables for rejuvenation
According to the dermatologist, the injectable, which can also be used on the face to promote skin rejuvenation and revitalization, has a proprietary formula enriched with nutrients. The product (NCTF) combines hyaluronic acid with 12 vitamins, 24 amino acids, 6 enzymes, 5 nucleic acids and 6 minerals to revitalize follicle health.
“The formula contains a powerful antioxidant, glutathione, which plays a vital role in combating the deleterious effects of oxidative stress on the hair follicle, as well as improving microvasculature,” says Lilian Brasileiro.
The treatment has “in vitro” studies and in humans. “In vitro” studies have evaluated its effect on cell proliferation and on the synthesis of the extracellular matrix, as well as its antiradical activity.
“The product significantly stimulated cell multiplication (147%) and intracellular (165%) and extracellular (200%) collagen synthesis,” says the doctor.
The treatment protocol includes injections into the scalp as well as the photobiostimulation effect of the LED, which improves vascularisation and cellular energy. In humans, the technique was tested on 10 patients with the aim of verifying the opportunity and efficacy of the association between this injectable hyaluronic acid and LED in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia.
“The therapy stopped the hair loss after a month with one or two sessions. Visible growth was noticed from the third session, progressively as the treatment was carried out, with results in increased hair density, volume and better quality: shinier, more elastic and re-pigmented,” he explains.
“The results demonstrate that aging affects all tissues and applying nutrient-enriched hyaluronic acid treatment to the scalp works to promote hair loss,” completes the dermatologist.

The protocol consists of three to four sessions, with a 15-day break in the first two months, then one session a month for three months.
“Contraindications are: infectious lesions in the area and allergy to any of the compounds of the injected product,” says the doctor.
All phototypes can be treated with the technique. “Always consult a dermatologist, who can also indicate treatment as a form of prevention in patients suffering from genetic baldness,” concludes Lilian Brasileiro.
