Abstract

Mesotherapy is defined as microinjection of pharmaceutical agents, amino acids and vitamins into the mesoderm. Mesotherapy for hair loss is commonly indicated for androgenic alopecia and tellogen effluvium. Mesotherapy is a well- advertised therapeutic modality on the internet and media but data on its safety and efficacy in cosmetic conditions are limited. In current situation no adequate, peer -reviewed clinical trials critically evaluating the efficacy of mesotherapy for dermatological and aesthetic indications are available. The mechanism of action of many of the products is either doubtful or unknown and there are no clear cut guidelines on the dosage and efficacy of the products.

Key words: Hair loss; Mesotherapy; Minoxidil.
