Mesotherapy for Skin Radiance
Fine, superficial injections of nourishing and hydrating ingredients, used to support skin radiance and hydration, as the doctor assesses.
What is mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment in which very small amounts of selected ingredients are injected into the superficial layers of the skin, using fine needles or a dedicated device. These ingredients usually include a blend of vitamins, amino acids, minerals and non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid, depending on the aim of treatment and the product used. The doctor chooses the formulation, injection technique and depth according to the treated area and the condition of the skin.
On the face, mesotherapy is used to improve skin hydration, radiance and the appearance of superficial fine lines. It may be combined with other skin treatments the doctor decides on. It is important to know that the scientific evidence on mesotherapy varies, and results are usually gradual and moderate.
The doctor assesses each case individually before starting, reviewing the skin and your medical history. The doctor also takes care to use licensed, sterile products and explains realistically what to expect, as results vary from person to person, and may suggest a more suitable alternative if mesotherapy is not the right choice.

The doctor examines the skin and reviews your medical history and medications.

The session
