There are 90 % chances of satisfactory results with this therapy, which is quite high in comparison to other therapies.

Types

• Invasive : Invasive mesotherapy is the traditional way of inserting the treatment solution at the hair follicle using microinjections. The composition used in these injections is customized as per the problems and requirements of an individual. It is a minimally invasive procedure that is widely used in Europe for various purposes.
• Non-invasive : It is a relatively new procedure that has similar benefits without any injections. In this therapy, various active substances (Treatment gels) are inserted in the tissue using laser technology, electric impulses, special modules, and micro-needling (Using dermarollers, derma pens, skin pens, etc). This treatment is gaining popularity because it gives a better experience while treatment and is way more comfortable.
