ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Mesotherapy, a technique of transdermal microinjections of specific preparations, is increasingly used in fields such as dermatology and specifically for alopecia treatment. Its popularity stems from its ability to deliver drugs in a targeted manner while minimizing systemic side effects.OBJECTIVE:
To assess and review current knowledge regarding the use of mesotherapy to deliver alopecia medications and highlight future directions for research. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
The authors used research databases including PubMed and Google Scholar to identify current literature on mesotherapy and alopecia. The following search terms were used among other terms "Mesotherapy" or "Intradermal" AND "Alopecia".RESULTS:
Recent studies are promising for the intradermal delivery of dutasteride and minoxidil in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia.CONCLUSION:
Although limitations exist with dutasteride and minoxidil therapies, further research regarding the preparation, delivery, and maintenance of these drugs is warranted as mesotherapy could establish this technique as a safe, effective, and viable treatment option for androgenetic alopecia.
