How Mesotherapy Works
Mesotherapy involves the microinjection of vitamins, peptides, and medications (such as minoxidil or finasteride) directly into the scalp.
Pros of Mesotherapy
✅ Customizable Cocktails (tailored to your hair loss cause)
✅ Stimulates Blood Flow (delivers nutrients where needed)
✅ Less Invasive Than PRP (no blood draw required)
Cons of Mesotherapy
❌ Shorter-Lasting (requires monthly sessions)
❌ Potential Allergic Reactions (if sensitive to ingredients)
❌ Mild Swelling/Bruising (temporary)
"Mesotherapy is like a vitamin IV drip—but for your hair follicles."

WHICH TREATMENT IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

✔ Have mild to moderate thinning
Choose Mesotherapy If You…
✔ Need a quick, non-invasive boost
✔ Want to combine treatments (e.g., with topical minoxidil)

Pro Tip: Some patients combine both for synergistic effects!
