Hello,

Mesotherapy consists of a formulation of vitamins, DHT blockers and minerals administered directly into the scalp. The treatment consists of a series of eight to twelve micro-injections given once a month.

The side effects include swelling, bruising and pain, itching at the injection site, scarring, pigmentation, or ulcer formation and flare up of psoriasis. So it is advisable to discuss the pros and cons of this therapy with your cosmetologist before going in for this treatment.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
