Mesotherapy is a medical technique where micro-injections are performed into the middle layer of the skin (mesoderm) to deliver healing or corrective treatment to a variety of conditions, targeting specific areas of the body. This technique was developed by a French Physician Dr Michel Pistor in 1952 for the management of pain and vascular disorders. Since then mesotherapy has evolved into an effective skin rejuvenation treatment. Vitamins, amino-acids, minerals, hyaluronic acid, all essential components for healthy skin cells, can be delivered by mesotherapy.
Why use Mesotherapy?
Ageing of the facial skin is seen as fine lines or wrinkles and loss of tension of the skin. Facial mesotherapy is not collagen injections, but the necessary ingredients our body needs to manufacture our own collagen. Therefore a selection of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, coenzymes, anti-oxidants and hyaluronic acid are injected to promote cellular hydration which in turn begins the rejuvenation process of rebuilding collagen. Mesotherapy can be used as a stand-alone treatment or combined with other anti-aging treatments such as botox, dermal fillers and chemical peels. Combining treatments works very effectively as each treatment method is working specifically within the skin layer’s and targeting different cellular function, providing one of the best anti-ageing therapy available today.
