What is mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure where a series of superfine injections of vitamins, minerals and amino acids cocktails are delivered into the mesodermal layer of the skin. This infusion of savvy ingredients nourishes and rejuvenates the skin while also stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, both essential for skin’s natural elasticity.

Mesotherapy is a safe, non-invasive process in which micro-injections supply a cocktail of beneficial ingredients to the middle layer of the skin. The injections contain conventional medicines, amino acids, minerals and vitamins to the layer of skin providing nourishment and promoting cell repair and growth. Pioneered in 1952 by French physician Dr. Michel Pistor,Mesotherapy is a very common treatment in its native France and is growing in popularity throughout the world due to its multitude of beneficial effects. In most cases a completely painless process, a course ofMesotherapy is the best way to see the full range of benefits of the treatment.

Treatment overview

Mesotherapy is a treatment for various skin diseases, which involves injecting small doses of treatment substances directly into target areas. Mesotherapy allows reversal or hindering of many unfavourable changes. Years-long exposure to harmful environmental influences, stress, smoking of tobaccos, alcohol and sun radiation results in unfavourable changes in the skin. Mesotherapy allows reversal or slowing down of many unfavourable changes and constitutes a valuable component of anti-aging medicine.

Next to the impact of the preparations, skin puncture itself is also because of:

  • Improved skin cell metabolism;
  • Stimulation of fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin;
  • Creation of new blood vessels;
  • Improved micro-circulation;
  • Stimulation of skin regeneration – replacement with new cells;
  • Hindered creation of harmful free radicals;
  • Proper skin nutrition.
All these aspects underlie the advantage of injection based mesotherapy over so-called needleless mesotherapy. Preparations injected into the skin constitute mixtures of medicines adapted to the given clinical problem. Usually, we apply a mixture of vitamins, amino acids, organic silica, microelements, hyaluronic acid and vegetable extracts. Hyaluronic acid fills the space between collagen fibres and attracts water, thanks to which the skin is optimally hydrated. Thanks to better vascularisation, the skin receives better supplies of oxygen, is brighter and healthier.

Is this a painful treatment?

Injections are made using a syringe with a very thin needle, at the spacing of 0.5-1.5 cm. After the treatment, there remain marks on the skin in the form of spots or a grid – depending on the technique of the treatment. The marks disappear within a time dependent on the administered medicine – from 6 to 72 hours. The injections are not very painful. If the patient has a low pain sensitivity threshold, anaesthetisation with a special cream may be applied. The needle may puncture a blood vessel, in which case a minor bruise will develop. Massage is performed after the treatment, which allows even distribution of the ingredients injected into the skin. The medicines remain active for even a month after the treatment.

When does the effect appear and how long does it last?

  • Instant results – increased elasticity, firmness and brightening of the skin;
  • Long-term results – restored smoothness and density of the skin.
