Overview
Mesotherapy injections (also known as Mesotherapy) are a non-surgical aesthetic medical technique that involves injecting small amounts of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, or a mixture of active substances into the middle layer of the skin (the mesoderm). The goal is to stimulate cell renewal, activate blood circulation, and improve the skin's appearance in the treated area.
Why? (Purpose)
- Mesotherapy injections sessions aim to improve skin radiance and provide deep hydration.
- To lighten dark spots and unify skin tone.
- To reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
- To improve skin elasticity and firmness.
- Used in some cases to treat hair problems like localized hair loss (mesotherapy for skin & hair).
- To boost skin luminosity and repair damaged cells.
Benefits
- Precise Delivery: Therapeutic substances are precisely directed to the required areas at low doses, minimizing systemic side effects.
- Collagen and Elastin Stimulation: Sessions stimulate skin cells to produce collagen and elastin, contributing to skin rejuvenation therapy.
- Improved Blood Flow: Mesotherapy injections help improve micro-circulation and supply cells with essential nutrients.
- Fast and Noticeable Results: Results become noticeable over several sessions, and side effects resolve quickly.
- Integration with Other Treatments: Mesotherapy can be combined with other aesthetic treatments like chemical peels or fillers for comprehensive results.
Candidates (Eligibility)
Ideal Candidates:
- Those suffering from mild to moderate skin sagging.
- Those with pigmentation problems or uneven skin tone.

Those Who May Not Be Suitable Candidates:

Procedure Steps
- Medical Consultation: The session begins with the physician assessing the patient's medical history, allergies, and expectations. The skin in the area to be treated is also examined.
- Preparation for Injection: The area is carefully cleaned and sterilized to prevent any infection. A mild topical anesthetic cream may be used to reduce pain.
- Solution Preparation: The physician selects the appropriate mixture of vitamins or nutrients based on the patient's condition and the treatment goal.
- Injection: These substances are injected into small depths of the skin (usually 1 to 4 mm) using a very fine needle.
- Distribution and Tapping: After the injection, the area may be gently massaged or tapped to distribute the solution and stimulate its absorption.
- Calming the Area: Cold compresses may be applied to soothe any redness or swelling.
- Session Repetition: A series of 3 to 10 sessions is usually recommended, with a time interval between each session (e.g., two weeks) depending on the condition.
Postoperative Recovery
- Return to Daily Activities: The patient can return to light daily activities immediately. However, it is advisable to avoid intense sun exposure or high heat for several days.
- Skincare: Use appropriate sunscreen and a high-quality moisturizer. It is also advised to avoid using harsh or exfoliating products on the treated area for several days.
- Symptom Relief: Cold compresses can be applied to help alleviate any swelling or redness.
- Adherence to Sessions: It is important to adhere to the complementary session dates set by the physician.
- Avoid Sauna and Exercise: It is recommended to refrain from saunas or strenuous exercise during the first 48 to 72 hours after the session.
