Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is non-surgical procedure which primarily targets fat tissue. The process involves multiple tiny injections to administer microscopic quantities of homeopathic medications, plant extracts, traditional pharmaceuticals, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids just under the surface of the skin. You can also receive “no-needle” mesotherapy, where the products are delivered into the skin using low frequency electric currents.
Mesotherapy originally became popular in the 1950’s, where it was initially used to treat sports injuries and also to improve blood circulation. Today, whether traditional or no-needle mesotherapy is used, the cosmetic aim is to replace vitamins and minerals into the skin that we lose as we age, although it can also be used to treat cellulite, promote weight loss, and boost the immune system.
WHO IS MESOTHERAPY SUITABLE FOR?
Mesotherapy is suitable for anyone, as long as the patient does not have an allergy to any of the ingredients in the products used. However, if the patient has very deep lines and wrinkles, we recommend Botox or dermal fillers as an additive or an alternative.

Both forms of mesotherapy take about ten minutes to perform. They are not painful, so there is no need for any local anaesthetic.
In traditional needle-based mesotherapy, the chosen ingredients are administered in micro-injections to the treatment areas.
In no-needle mesotherapy, a hand-held device is passed over the treatment area, emitting the ingredients via an electric current. You may experience a slight tingling sensation, but it should not be painful.
There may be a small amount of redness or bruising on the treatment area, but this will fade very quickly and you should be able to return to normal activities immediately.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OR DOWNTIME?
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
At first, it is recommended to have one session per week for four weeks. Afterwards, the results can be easily maintained by ‘touch-up sessions’ every six months.
