Mesotherapy Applications
Mesotherapy is a medical aesthetic treatment in which carefully selected ingredients are delivered into the skin or scalp through multiple small injections, according to the needs of the treatment area.
The ingredients used may vary depending on the individual’s skin type, age, specific concerns and treatment goals. Products containing hyaluronic acid, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and various biologically active ingredients may be used.
The aim of mesotherapy is not simply to inject a particular product into the skin, but to assess the skin’s individual needs and create a personalised treatment plan.
Facial Mesotherapy
Facial mesotherapy may be used to support a healthier, more hydrated and revitalised appearance in skin affected by dehydration, dullness, fine lines or a decline in overall skin quality.
Depending on the needs of the skin, mesotherapy products containing hyaluronic acid, amino acids, vitamins and other supportive ingredients may be selected.
When may facial mesotherapy be considered?
-
Dull or tired-looking skin
-
Dehydrated skin
-
Fine lines
-
Supporting skin elasticity
-
Improving skin texture and overall skin quality
-
Supporting a brighter and more refreshed appearance
-
Preventive skin-care programmes aimed at reducing visible signs of ageing
The aim is not to change the shape or volume of the face, but to support the skin’s natural appearance and help it look healthier and more revitalised.
Eye Area Mesotherapy
The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate than many other areas of the face. Ageing, genetics, sun exposure and lifestyle factors can contribute to fine lines, dehydration and a tired appearance in this area.
Eye area mesotherapy uses products specifically selected for this sensitive region to support skin quality.
When may it be considered?
-
Fine lines around the eyes
-
Dehydration
-
Dull or tired appearance
-
Reduced skin quality
-
Loss of elasticity
-
Supporting the appearance of uneven pigmentation around the eyes in suitable patients
It is important to understand that not every type of under-eye darkness or puffiness can be improved with mesotherapy. Depending on the underlying cause, dermal fillers, PN/PDRN treatments, energy-based procedures or other approaches may be more appropriate.
Neck and Décolletage Mesotherapy
The neck and décolletage are among the areas where signs of sun exposure and ageing may become noticeable relatively early.
Over time, dehydration, fine lines, reduced elasticity and changes in skin texture may develop.
Mesotherapy may be used in these areas to support hydration and overall skin quality.
When may it be considered?
-
Visible neck lines
-
Loss of hydration and elasticity
-
Thin skin prone to wrinkling
-
Signs of ageing in the décolletage
-
Supporting overall skin quality
Depending on individual needs, mesotherapy may be combined with treatments such as radiofrequency microneedling, focused ultrasound or collagen biostimulation.
Hand Mesotherapy
The hands are particularly exposed to the effects of sunlight, environmental factors and ageing.
Hand mesotherapy may be used to support hydration, elasticity and overall skin quality on the backs of the hands.
It may be considered as part of a personalised skin-rejuvenation programme, particularly for dry, thin or dull-looking skin.
Pigmentation-Focused Mesotherapy
Skin pigmentation does not have a single cause. Sun exposure, hormonal factors, ageing and post-inflammatory changes can all contribute to uneven pigmentation and may require different treatment approaches.
The aim of pigmentation-focused mesotherapy is to support a more even-looking skin tone.
However, mesotherapy is usually not considered a stand-alone treatment for pigmentation. It is generally planned as part of a broader programme that may include sun protection, appropriate home skin care and, when necessary, additional medical aesthetic treatments.
In conditions such as melasma, which has a tendency to recur, the type and depth of pigmentation should first be carefully assessed.
Acne and Acne-Scar Focused
Mesotherapy
Following acne, the skin may be left with pigmentation changes, uneven texture and different types of scars.
In suitable patients, mesotherapy may be used as part of a combined treatment programme designed to support overall skin quality.
However, mesotherapy alone may not be sufficient for depressed or atrophic acne scars. Depending on the type and depth of the scars, combination treatment with radiofrequency microneedling or other medical procedures may be necessary.
For this reason, the treatment plan for acne scars should be tailored to the specific type of scarring.
Skinboosters
Skinboosters differ from traditional volumising dermal fillers. They are injectable treatments, usually based on hyaluronic acid, designed primarily to support skin hydration and quality rather than create volume.
The aim is not to change the shape of the face or create noticeable fullness, but to help the skin appear more hydrated, refreshed, smooth and healthy.
When may skinboosters be considered?
-
Significant dehydration
-
Dull or lacklustre skin
-
Fine lines
-
Reduced elasticity
-
Uneven skin texture
-
Supporting skin quality in areas such as the face, neck, décolletage and hands
Salmon DNA – PN / PDRN Treatments
Injectable treatments containing PN and PDRN are regenerative treatments used to support skin quality and natural renewal processes.
They may be incorporated into personalised treatment plans, particularly for areas with thin or delicate skin or where skin quality has declined with age.
Which areas can be treated?
-
Face
-
Eye area
-
Neck
-
Décolletage
-
Hands
The main goal is not to create volume, but to support the skin’s hydration, quality and overall appearance.
Hair Mesotherapy
Hair mesotherapy involves delivering selected ingredients into the scalp through small injections, according to the needs of the hair and scalp.
Because hair loss can have many different causes, it is important to evaluate the type of hair loss and its possible underlying factors before beginning treatment.
When may hair mesotherapy be considered?
-
Thinning hair
-
Reduced hair quality
-
As part of supportive programmes for hair loss
-
Supporting the scalp and hair follicles
Hair mesotherapy is not a stand-alone treatment for every type of hair loss. Where appropriate, dermatological assessment, laboratory investigations or additional treatments may also be required.
Frequently Asked Questions About Mesotherapy
How is mesotherapy performed?
After the treatment area has been cleansed, a product selected according to the patient’s individual needs is injected into the skin in small amounts using multiple injection points. The injection technique and depth may vary depending on the product being used and the area being treated.
Is mesotherapy painful?
A mild stinging or burning sensation may be felt due to the small needle insertions. In suitable patients, a topical anaesthetic cream may be applied before treatment to help reduce discomfort.
How many mesotherapy sessions are needed?
There is no standard number of sessions that applies to everyone. The number and frequency of treatments may vary depending on the product used, the treatment area, the patient’s age, skin characteristics and desired outcome. Following an initial assessment, an individual treatment programme is created.
When will I see results?
The time required to notice results varies depending on the product used and the purpose of treatment. Improvements in hydration and skin radiance may be noticed relatively early, while some changes in overall skin quality may require several treatment sessions before they can be fully assessed.
What is the difference between mesotherapy and dermal fillers?
The primary purpose of dermal fillers is to create or restore volume in specific areas and to enhance or reshape facial contours. Mesotherapy, by contrast, focuses mainly on supporting skin quality rather than creating volume. For this reason, the two treatments are not necessarily alternatives to one another. They may be used for different purposes within the same overall treatment plan.
Are mesotherapy and skinboosters the same thing?
Not exactly. Mesotherapy is a broad term describing an injection technique and treatment approach. The term “skinbooster” generally refers to specific injectable products, most commonly based on hyaluronic acid, that are designed primarily to improve skin hydration and quality. The most appropriate option is determined according to the individual needs of the skin.
Will my face swell after mesotherapy?
Temporary redness, mild swelling, tenderness or small raised areas may occur at the injection sites. Some patients may also experience minor bruising. These effects are generally temporary and can vary depending on the product used, the injection technique and the individual characteristics of the skin.
Can I return to my normal routine after mesotherapy?
Most people can return to their usual daily activities within a short period of time. However, visible injection points, mild redness or small raised areas may remain temporarily after treatment.
What should I avoid after mesotherapy?
It is important to keep the treated area clean and follow the physician’s aftercare instructions. During the initial period after treatment, patients may be advised to avoid intense exercise, saunas, steam rooms, very hot showers and treatments that may irritate the skin. Sun protection is particularly important for patients who are prone to pigmentation.
Can mesotherapy be performed during the summer?
Many mesotherapy treatments can be planned throughout different times of the year with appropriate sun protection and careful patient selection.
However, the timing should be determined individually according to the product being used, the patient’s skin concern and expected level of sun exposure.
Who should not have mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy may not be suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, in the presence of active infection or active skin disease in the treatment area, in patients with known allergies to the ingredients being used, or in certain systemic medical conditions. Because mesotherapy products can contain very different ingredients, suitability should be assessed individually for each patient.
Does mesotherapy have side effects?
The most common effects are temporary redness, tenderness, swelling, small raised areas and bruising caused by the injections. Less commonly, infection, allergic reactions or other reactions related to the product being used may occur. For this reason, it is important to know the ingredients of the product being administered, use appropriate injection techniques and perform treatment following medical assessment by a physician.
Is mesotherapy performed in the same way for everyone?
No. The basis of a well-planned mesotherapy treatment is not a “standard cocktail”, but appropriate patient assessment and careful selection of ingredients. Factors such as the age and condition of the skin, hydration levels, elasticity, tendency towards pigmentation, fine lines, sun damage and the patient’s expectations are evaluated. The choice of ingredients, number of sessions and treatment intervals are then individually planned.
Personalised Mesotherapy Planning
Every skin has different needs.
For one person, the primary concern may be dehydration and dullness, while for another it may be fine lines, loss of elasticity or reduced skin quality around the eyes.
For this reason, the patient’s skin structure and individual needs are assessed during consultation before determining the appropriate ingredients, treatment area, number of sessions and, where necessary, combination with other medical aesthetic treatments.
The aim is not to change the skin, but to support a healthier, more revitalised and higher-quality appearance.
