Mesotherapy can provide a glowing, direct skin rejuvenation as well as treat cellulite, hair loss, stretch marks and sagging skin.
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate and hydrate the skin by delivering a customized cocktail of active ingredients directly into the mesoderm (middle layer of the skin). It’s a popular treatment for improving skin health, elasticity, and texture.
Mesotherapy involves microinjections of skin-enhancing substances, such as:
- Vitamins (e.g., A, C, E, B-complex): Boost collagen production and repair skin.
- Hyaluronic Acid: Provides intense hydration and plumps the skin.
- Antioxidants: Neutralize free radicals to prevent skin damage.
- Peptides and Amino Acids: Promote collagen and elastin synthesis.
- Growth Factors: Stimulate cell regeneration and healing.
The injections are administered using fine needles, a dermapen, or a meso-gun.
