Comparison of the Efficacy of Two Different Local Anesthesia Techniques for Mesotherapy in Temporal Region Alopecia

The study involved 100 participants with temporal region alopecia undergoing mesotherapy for hair regrowth. They were divided into two groups: group I received supratrochlear, supraorbital, and zygomaticotemporal nerve blocks, while group II received only supratrochlear and supraorbital nerve blocks. The results showed that group I experienced less pain during and after the procedure. The study concluded that the use of the zygomaticotemporal nerve block, in addition to supratrochlear and supraorbital nerve blocks, is more effective at reducing pain during mesotherapy. The study also found that mesotherapy with a preparation containing dutasteride was a successful treatment option for female pattern hair loss, showing superior results over a shorter period of time. The zygomaticotemporal block could potentially be used in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and headaches. Further research with a larger sample size and diverse injection techniques is suggested.
