mesotherapy intradermal injections subcutaneous injections hair loss lipolytic potential

TLDR Mesotherapy uses small injections to improve skin, reduce fat, and treat hair loss effectively and quickly.

Mesotherapy involved the use of intradermal or subcutaneous injections of small doses of compounds to treat local and cosmetic conditions, including aging skin, body contouring, and hair loss. The technique aimed to keep the injected solutions in the targeted area longer for gradual clearance, enhancing effectiveness. It was noted for its lipolytic potential, stimulating local fat reduction when other therapies were ineffective. Mesotherapy required less time for treatment, making it a preferred option for cosmetic purposes, and it also found applications in the pharmacological field.
