    TLDR Mesotherapy for the scalp can cause severe infections, fat tissue death, and permanent hair loss.
    The document from 2008 discusses the complications of a treatment method called mesotherapy, which was popular for nonsurgical fat melting, skin rejuvenation, and hair regrowth. The method involves locally injecting subcutaneous doses of varying chemicals. However, with its increased popularity, there was a rise in reported side effects. The document reports a case of multifocal scalp abscesses with subcutaneous fat necrosis and scarring alopecia as a direct result of mesotherapy, which required extensive surgical repair.
