Mesotherapy for Face, Hair, and Body

Mesotherapy is the delivery of small doses of active ingredients, called meso cocktails, into the skin with a fine needle. The formula is chosen for a specific goal: skin hydration and tone, pigmentation, puffiness under the eyes, or scalp condition. The ingredients go directly into the right layer of the skin, so they act more precisely than creams and serums.

Common concerns

• dull, tired, dehydrated skin;
• fine lines, loss of firmness;
• pigmentation spots and uneven skin tone, as part of comprehensive care;
• puffiness and a tired look around the eyes;
• dandruff, seborrhea, weak and thinning hair;
• cellulite and small localized fat deposits on the body.

Mesotherapy is performed on the face and around the eyes, on the lips, neck, and neck-and-shoulder area, the décolleté, hands, abdomen, and scalp. A separate group of products, lipolytics, is used to reduce fat deposits.

What the procedure involves

• the doctor examines the skin, asks about your health, and selects the product;
• the skin is cleansed and a topical anesthetic is applied;
• the product is injected with the fine needle of a disposable syringe;
• after the injections, a moisturizing cream is applied to the skin.

On the scalp, the product is injected into the hair growth area; there is no need to shave or cut your hair short. On the face, the doctor distributes the injections so that the product reaches the entire area evenly.

After the procedure, there may be redness, small bumps, and bruises at the injection sites; they usually fade within a few days. During this time, it is best to avoid sun exposure, baths, and saunas, and, for the face, to skip makeup if possible.

Products we use

The meso cocktail is selected individually for each patient. The clinic uses RRS products, including RRS HA Eyes for the eye area, hyaluronic acid-based Bellarti Hydrate, and Reparestim HA TD.

When the main goal is deep hydration of the skin with hyaluronic acid, the doctor may suggest biorevitalization. For hair loss and scalp problems, mesotherapy is prescribed by a trichologist after trichoscopy, so that the cause is identified first.

How many sessions and when to expect results

Mesotherapy is usually done as a course. Some changes may be noticeable after the first procedure, but a lasting result usually develops by the end of the course. The doctor determines the number of sessions and the interval after the initial examination; they depend on the area, the goal, and the chosen product.

How to prepare

• tell the doctor about any medications you take, as some increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun;
• if you have a cold sore, a fever, or inflammation in the treatment area, it is better to reschedule.
