    TLDR Hair mesotherapy showed improvement in hair growth and thickness without side effects.
    In the 2011 study on hair mesotherapy for treating androgenetic alopecia, 23 patients (15 male and 8 female) received weekly treatments with a formulation including minoxidil, biotin, dexpantenol, herbal complex, and procain. The treatment resulted in a statistically significant improvement in hair quantity, thickness, scalp state, and reduction in hair loss, without any reported side effects. Despite the lack of scientifically proven mixtures and application schemes for hair mesotherapy, the study's positive outcomes support the limited existing literature and aim to contribute to future research in this area. The document also discusses the psychological effects of alopecia and the need for scientifically validated treatments in cosmetology, highlighting the lack of licensing for mesotherapy drugs and the importance of including cosmetology in specialist training.
