Hair loss occurs in both men and women as they age, but that doesn't make the process any less emotional for those attached to their locks. While some opt for vasodilators like Rogaine to promote hair growth; A growing number of people are trying a hair loss treatment that has been around for decades: mesotherapy. Is mesotherapy worth the hype? Or is it just another ineffective hit on your wallet? We will discuss the pros and cons of this treatment with you and help you make an informed decision about whether mesotherapy is right for you.

Although mesotherapy is used for hair growth today, the founder, Dr. Michel Pistor, originally administered mesotherapy in 1952 after meeting a shoemaker who was suffering from an asthma attack. Dr. Pistor administered procaine, which had little effect on the cobbler's asthma. However, during a follow-up session, the patient revealed that his deafness had subsided and he could hear again. Dr. Pistor continued to administer procaine next to the patient's ear, and it managed to continue to improve his hearing.

Dr. Pistor was the founder of mesotherapy and performed similar treatments on patients with a variety of conditions, always administering procaine as close to the affected area as possible. Other doctors adopted his treatments and used mesotherapy in their own practices. Mesotherapy is now used by approximately 18,000 physicians in the United States, Asia, Europe and South America as a treatment for hair loss.

Mesotherapy is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses multiple injections at the site of hair loss. A mesotherapy gun delivers these injections quickly. Dr. Pistor started with procaine, but doctors have now added a number of substances, including vitamins, pharmaceutical drugs and homeopathic remedies. Mesotherapy is used in a number of cosmetic operations, including as a treatment for hair loss in men and women.
