What is mesotherapy?

The term mesotherapy refers to a treatment method in which small quantities of medicines, nutrients or other active ingredients are injected directly into the skin. It is often used to treat pain and inflammation. It is currently gaining popularity for improving the appearance of the skin and treating hair loss - and rightly so: mesotherapy is suitable for combating hair loss because the active ingredients can directly reach the affected areas, improving blood flow and the supply of nutrients to the hair follicles. This stimulates hair growth and can alleviate or even stop hair loss. Mesotherapy is also known as meso hair treatment.

Mesotherapy can be used for various forms of hair loss. This includes not only hormonal hair loss in women, but also the widespread hereditary hair loss in men, also known as androgenetic alopecia, which often manifests itself in the form of a receding hairline or baldness on the crown of the head.

Disadvantages of mesotherapy for hair loss

As a rule, treatment in the form of mesotherapy is safe when carried out by a qualified doctor. However, as with any medical treatment, there may be certain risks and side effects. One of the biggest disadvantages of mesotherapy is that in some circumstances it can be painful or cause side effects in the form of irritation of the scalp. The injections are administered directly into the scalp, which can be uncomfortable for some people. In addition, the injections can also cause swelling, redness and other skin reactions. Therefore, it is important to consult a doctor before treatment to make sure that mesotherapy is right for you and that you are not allergic to the active ingredients.

Another disadvantage of mesotherapy is the cost. The treatment usually requires multiple sessions. The costs can therefore quickly add up and usually amount to between 500 and 4000 euros.

More and more people have had experiences with mesotherapy that show that improved hair growth is indeed possible. However, some experts have not yet recognised the effectiveness of mesotherapy and more studies are needed to confirm the positive effect in a well-founded manner.

Pros
  • Directly on the scalp
  • Effective against hair loss
Cons
  • Is an expensive procedure
  • Not pleasant for people who cannot tolerate needles
  • Has side effects

Recent research on mesotherapy

A recent study (from 2025) looked at the effectiveness of mesotherapy with a diluted minoxidil solution compared to the traditional topical application of a stronger minoxidil solution for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, the most common form of hair loss. This comparative study showed that most participants in both treatment groups experienced an improvement in hair density, hair thickness and reduction of hair loss. Interestingly, no significant differences in the results were observed between the mesotherapy group and the group using topical minoxidil.

As for side effects, pain during the injections was more frequently reported in the mesotherapy group, while itching was more common with the topical treatment. Overall, the findings suggest that mesotherapy with minoxidil may have similar efficacy to topical application, which could make it a possible alternative for people looking for a different way to address their hair loss.

Minoxidil Linn is a lotion specifically designed to stimulate hair growth. This drug has been approved for the treatment of hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) after long-term research. Minoxidil can provide visible hair growth after 4 months with effective use.

Mesotherapy or laser therapy?

Mesotherapy and low level laser therapy are two different treatment methods that can both be used to treat hair loss. In mesotherapy, medications, nutrients and other substances are injected directly into the scalp, while a laser helmet is an external treatment method in which low level laser light is used to treat the hair.

The LH80 laser helmet has already produced very positive results for various types of hair loss and is generally considered safer, not only because there is more knowledge about it, but also because there is less risk of side effects. This is because no injections are administered into the body. Laser therapy for hair loss works by using laser light to stimulate cell growth and improve blood flow to the scalp, providing the affected areas with better nutrient supply. In addition, topical hair growth products can be used alongside laser therapy to support regrowth and strengthen existing hair. These products contain clinically tested active ingredients that are known to promote healthy hair growth when applied regularly to the scalp for several months.

Conclusion: Mesotherapy can help against hair loss

Mesotherapy is a new form of therapy that in some cases can stimulate hair growth and even stop hair loss. However, meso hair treatment is relatively expensive and can have side effects because the injections enter the body during the therapy. Further studies are needed to increase the recognition of this treatment option in scientific circles. For those looking for another option for the treatment of hair loss, laser therapy with the LH80 laser helmet may offer an interesting alternative.
