Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is a treatment that injects vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids under the skin to support skin health. Derived from the words "meso" (middle) and "therapy" (treatment), this method acts on the middle layer of the skin, accelerating blood circulation and activating the immune system.

Creams and serums have difficulty penetrating the skin’s protective barrier; the necessary ingredients often fail to reach the target layer. Mesotherapy is a treatment that bypasses this barrier to deliver nourishing ingredients directly to the skin’s middle layer.

Mesotherapy, It is a medical aesthetic procedure in which personalized mixtures consisting of components such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and hyaluronic acid are injected into the middle layer of the skin (mesoderm) using very fine needles.

About the App

What Is Mesotherapy, and How Does It Work?

The effects of mesotherapy are based on two mechanisms. The first is mechanical stimulation: the tiny channels created in the skin by the micro-needles trigger the body’s repair process and promote the production of collagen and elastin.

Second, the pharmacological effect: the injected mixture delivers the building blocks the skin needs for regeneration directly to the target layer. The composition of the mixture is determined following an examination, based on skin type, needs, and the treatment goal.

The treatment can be applied not only to the face but also to the scalp. The goal of scalp mesotherapy is to directly nourish weakened hair follicles with vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.
