What is Mesotherapy in Hair Loss?

Mesotherapy is a procedure in which a special cocktail (vitamin B and C, biotin, hyaluronic acid, dutasteride, finasteride) is injected at intradermal level (1.5-4 mm depth) into the scalp.

It is applied for the purpose of strengthening hair roots, lengthening anagen phase and improving microcirculation.

Best results are obtained in androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium and post-traumatic hair loss in combination with PRP and minoxidil; sessions are weekly 4-6 then monthly maintenance.
