Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy, a minimally invasive procedure developed by Dr. Michel Pistor in 1952, is widely used in Europe and globally to treat various injuries, aesthetic issues, and medical conditions. This technique involves delivering "medicinal bullets" directly into the middle skin layer through micro-injections, effectively targeting specific conditions. At Skin Renewal, our medical team and doctor-led approach ensure the highest standards of care, delivering outstanding results with minimal downtime.

Mesotherapy: Revolutionary Skin and Body Treatment

How Mesotherapy Works

 

Mesotherapy involves injecting active ingredients into the skin, superficial fat, or tissues, allowing these ingredients to reach the areas where they are most needed. This technique is effective for skin rejuvenation, fat reduction, and cellulite treatment. Transdermal mesotherapy (needle-free mesotherapy) is an alternative method for those apprehensive about needles. 

Ingredients in Mesotherapy

 

The active ingredients used in mesotherapy vary depending on the condition treated. The effectiveness of the treatment depends on the quality of these ingredients and the frequency of treatments.

 Mesotherapy Applications

 

Mesotherapy at Skin Renewal addresses various concerns:

Safety and Efficacy

 

The success and safety of mesotherapy depend on the expertise of the practitioner. At Skin Renewal, all treatments are performed by qualified doctors following strict medical protocols, ensuring excellent results with minimal downtime.

Recognised by the French National Academy of Medicine in 1986, mesotherapy is a trusted part of traditional medicine, with thousands of doctors worldwide administering treatments daily.

frequently asked
questions

Are Mesotherapy treatments available at all Skin Renewal branches?
How many sessions is required for best results?

The number of injectable mesotherapy sessions required varies based on individual conditions. Typically, the initial treatment phase involves one session per week for the first 4-6 weeks. After this initial phase, the frequency of treatments may be adjusted to maintain results, often continuing with one session every 2-4 weeks. For some patients, a maintenance phase with treatments every 6-12 weeks may be necessary.

Is one session of Mesotherapy enough?

One session of mesotherapy is generally not sufficient to achieve significant or lasting results. Mesotherapy is designed to work over multiple sessions to stimulate collagen production, improve circulation, stimulate hair follicles, and consistently deliver nutrients to promote new cell formation.

Is Mesotherapy better than Botox®?

Mesotherapy and Botox® serve different purposes, making one better than the other depending on the treatment goals. Mesotherapy injects nutrient-rich solutions into the mesoderm to treat hair loss, skin rejuvenation, and localised fat reduction, requiring multiple sessions for gradual improvements.

In contrast, Botox® is primarily used to reduce facial wrinkles and treat conditions like chronic migraines. It involves injecting botulinum toxin to temporarily paralyze muscles, with effects lasting 3-6 months.

Mesotherapy is more suitable for hair growth and skin revitalization, while Botox® is more effective for wrinkle reduction and certain medical conditions. The choice between the two should be based on specific treatment needs and professional consultation.
