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.
