Mesotherapy

It may be considered for dull, dehydrated or unevenly textured skin when a surface treatment alone seems insufficient and a volumising filler would be excessive. It is similar in principle to skinboosters, but the injected formulation may differ.

It does not erase a deep wrinkle and does not treat a skin disease. Claims of “fat-melting” or exaggerated firming have no place here.

For someone comfortable with gradual treatment, sometimes over several sessions, and a result that may not be obvious to others.

An allergy to a component, an infection, an active skin disease, pregnancy or certain medications may lead to postponing or declining the session. The list of components is part of consent.

The face, neck and décolletage are the regions most often mentioned. The scalp and the body are not added to this page: they are not among the practice’s confirmed indications.

The skin is examined, cleaned and disinfected, then the chosen mixture is injected at many superficial points. The session is short compared with the time spent explaining.

A plan of several sessions may be proposed. It should remain open to revision. If the skin does not change, the plan can be stopped or adjusted.

Any improvement in radiance, skin comfort or texture is gradual. Some people notice little difference; this should be acknowledged and may be a reason to stop treatment.

The effect of a single session is temporary. A planned course may be more beneficial than one treatment, but the interval between sessions is determined individually.

Redness, stinging, small bruises or a dotted look are common for a few hours to a few days. Allergic reactions are rare but possible, which is why knowing the composition matters.

Allergies, recent treatments and any products already applied or injected must be mentioned. After the session, you may be advised to avoid irritating cosmetics, sun and heat for a short time.
