 In Mesotherapy a cocktail of chemicals are injected into the middle layer your tissue, hence its name Meso( Middle) therapy. Which chemicals depends on what solution that physician feels would be most effective. However, mesotherapy is usually  meant to dissolve fat and on occasion provide nutrients to the skin. I am unaware of any scientifically valid studies that it should do anything at all to prevent hair loss.

     Further, mesotherapy still has to be lodged in the group of experimental treatments. It is not FDA approved.
