TLDR Mesotherapy is effective for treating certain types of hair loss.
The document from July 20, 2017, discussed the use of mesotherapy in trichology. Mesotherapy, a non-surgical cosmetic therapy, involves injecting active substances intradermally to a depth of about 4 mm. It was found to be an effective and easy-to-use method in the treatment of alopecia, specifically androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium. The therapy's effectiveness was demonstrated in several clinical trials. The article also noted the use of vitamins, trace elements, and stem cell extracts in mesotherapy. However, the expansion of mesotherapy into non-medical fields led to its contradictory perception by professional medical circles outside dermatology.
