    TLDR Both botulinum toxin A and multivitamin mesotherapy effectively treat hair loss, with botulinum toxin A being the better single-session option.
    The study "Recent modalities in treatment of telogen effluvium: Comparative study" conducted by Fathia M. Khattab, Areeg Rady, and Shrook A. Khashaba from the Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Andrology, Faculty of Medicine, Zagazig University, Egypt, aimed to evaluate the efficacy of single session botulinum toxin A injection versus multiple sessions of multivitamins mesotherapy in the treatment of telogen effluvium. The randomized clinical trial involved 24 patients with telogen effluvium, divided into two groups of 12. Group I received a single session of Botulinum toxin A injection and group II received multiple sessions of multivitamins mesotherapy injection. The study concluded that both botulinum toxin A and multivitamins mesotherapy are effective in the treatment of telogen effluvium, improving hair parameters such as terminal hair and multiple follicular units. Both treatments had minimal and well-tolerated side effects. However, a single session of botulinum toxin A was found to be a better choice than multiple mesotherapy sessions.

      The user has been losing hair for over two years despite taking dutasteride and RU58841, even increasing dutasteride to 2.5mg. They are questioning if their hair loss could be due to telogen effluvium instead.
