Patients were enrolled for mesotherapy group after performing intradermal allergy testing with mesosolution. After applying topical anesthesia, intradermal injections of mesosolution were given combined with microneedling. Any adverse events were noted during the procedure, and if no complications appeared, patient was allowed to go home.

Mesohair solution contained 56 ingredients including 24 amino acids, 13 vitamins, 4 coenzymes, 4 nucleic acids, 5 minerals, and 2 reducing agents. The active ingredient was decapeptide 4, acetyl decapeptide, and copper tripeptide Follow-up

This procedure was repeated weekly for 1 month followed by fortnightly for 2nd month and then every monthly for 2 months. Hence, in total, eight sessions were carried out.

Patients were advised not to wash, comb, or itch their scalp for 3 days after the procedure. They were asked to restrain from heavy exercise, apply oil or dye, and going out bareheaded in pollution for 3 days.

While there are no current studies on mesotherapy, there are a few on the efficacy of microneedling.

Microneedling is a procedure that involves making small wounds on the scalp with tiny needles (4). These wounds trigger a healing process, which induces the release of collagen.

This is one part of the mesotherapy process, while the other involves the actual injection of a substance such as Acetyl tetrapeptide-3.
