TLDR Mesotherapy for hair loss lacks strong evidence and clear guidelines for its effectiveness and product use.
The document "Mesotherapy for Hair Loss-is it Useful? Review of Literature" from 2018 reviewed the use of mesotherapy, a process involving microinjections of pharmaceutical agents, amino acids, and vitamins into the mesoderm, for treating hair loss conditions like androgenic alopecia and tellogen effluvium. However, the review found that there was a lack of adequate, peer-reviewed clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of mesotherapy for dermatological and aesthetic indications. Furthermore, the mechanism of action of many of the products used in mesotherapy was either doubtful or unknown, and there were no clear guidelines on the dosage and efficacy of these products.
