What is facial mesotherapy? Facial mesotherapy is an injectable treatment that revitalizes the skin. Simply put, it is a technique that harnesses the power of nourishing ingredients, which are injected directly under the skin. Through multiple painless micro-injuries , a customized cocktail of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, and other beneficial ingredients gives your skin everything it needs to be radiant. This process addresses the signs of aging , such as wrinkles and sagging, but also acts preventatively against their appearance, thus offering long-term results. It also stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin (the proteins responsible for firmness and elasticity) and provides firm and youthful skin.

Areas of mesotherapy application It is a versatile treatment that can be applied to various areas and offer benefits depending on the needs of each area. Let's look in more detail at the areas where it can be applied: Face Mesotherapy is an ideal choice for treating wrinkles (forehead, frown lines, "crow's feet", around the mouth), improving facial oval, hydrating, and toning the skin. Eyes Mesotherapy for the sensitive eye area , where the first signs of aging often appear, is an effective option. The skin in this area is extremely thin and sensitive compared to any other area of the body and more prone to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging . It addresses problems in this area, such as dark circles and wrinkles under the eyes. The skin becomes healthier, firmer, and brighter. Neck This is an area often neglected, and the signs of aging become more pronounced. Mesotherapy can improve skin texture, reduce horizontal wrinkles (Venus rings) and vertical lines (tech neck lines) caused by constant tilting of the head towards mobile phones and computers. It offers a uniform and youthful contour in these areas. Décolletage The area from the neck to the chest (décolletage) is a particularly sensitive spot and is often neglected in our daily care. In this area, the skin is thinner with fewer sebaceous glands. It has high sun exposure, which leads to fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, and discolorations. Mesotherapy is the ideal solution for rejuvenating the area. It offers deep hydration, improves skin texture, and provides a more firm and even appearance . Hands Our hands similarly succumb to time as their skin becomes thinner over the years. Hand mesotherapy can improve skin texture, reduce spots , and provide volume, giving them a more youthful appearance. Scalp Mesotherapy can act as an adjunctive treatment against hair loss . Applied to the scalp, it nourishes hair follicles and promotes the growth of new ones. Additionally, it can improve hair quality, giving it more volume and shine.
Types of facial mesotherapy The beauty of the treatment lies in personalization. Depending on the skin's individual needs, age, and expectations, the specialist doctor will recommend the ideal treatment for you. Let's look at the most popular types of mesotherapy: Classic mesotherapy Classic facial mesotherapy can contain up to 50 different ingredients to nourish, restore, and rejuvenate the skin. Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, multivitamins, peptides, L-carnitine, antioxidants, and plant extracts. Brightening mesotherapy Brightening mesotherapy is specifically designed to address discolorations, spots, and uneven melanin distribution. It uses targeted ingredients such as vitamin C, kojic acid, arbutin, and other active brightening agents, which are injected directly into the skin. The treatment brightens the skin, reduces hyperpigmentation, and creates a more even and radiant tone. It is ideal for those who want to treat hyperpigmentation or melasma from sun or intense light exposure. Autologous mesotherapy PRP PRP treatment (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a popular, injectable non-invasive aesthetic treatment that harnesses the power of your own blood, which is collected through a simple blood draw. Subsequently, through a special process, plasma rich in platelets is separated. This "valuable" ingredient is administered back into the skin via mesotherapy, activating the natural mechanisms of regeneration and production of collagen and elastin. It's like giving your skin an "injection" of rejuvenation from its own cells. Skinboosters & biorevitalizers Skinboosters and biorevitalizers are special categories of mesotherapy. Skinboosters, with hyaluronic acid as their main ingredient, offer deep hydration and improve skin texture. Biorevitalizers stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin, promoting tissue regeneration for long-term anti-aging results. Jalupro HMW: A biorevitalizer with amino acids and hyaluronic acid that enhances collagen production and improves skin texture.
Jalutoxin: Combines the benefits of Jalupro HMW with the muscle-relaxing action of Botox for mild wrinkle smoothing without affecting natural expressions. It also helps regulate oiliness and improve certain types of acne. Profhilo : A high-concentration hyaluronic acid skin booster that deeply hydrates and offers a natural lifting effect. Karisma : A unique combination of pro-collagen, hyaluronic acid, and anti-aging ingredients that stimulates natural collagen production and provides immediate hydration. Polynucleotides : Biostimulators that stimulate cellular regeneration and remodeling, improving skin quality and texture. Peptides: Bioactive molecules that stimulate collagen and elastin production, offering anti-aging action and improved elasticity.
What is the best mesotherapy? The truth is there isn't one single answer. The ideal choice for you depends on a series of factors such as age, skin type and needs, your expectations from the treatment, your history with cosmetic treatments, and in some cases, your lifestyle. For this reason, it is important to consult with a specialized doctor to find the appropriate treatment. See all types in detail and find the ideal one for your needs in our guide to the best mesotherapy . Microneedling (Dermapen): a needle-free alternative You can reap the benefits of mesotherapy without injections by using a Dermapen. Through the microneedling technique, thousands of microscopic holes are created in the skin, allowing for the absorption of nutrients without the use of needles. The differences with classic mesotherapy Injectable mesotherapy: Ingredients are injected directly into the skin with needles Targeted application to specific areas More intense and faster results Recovery time 24-48 hours Reaches directly into the deeper layers of the skin Ideal for focused problem-solving Non-injectable method (with Dermapen ): Ingredients are applied to the skin's surface and absorbed through microscopic holes The entire face is covered evenly Gradual but lasting results Recovery time 3-5 days Strongly activates natural collagen production Ideal for those who want to avoid injections Offers combined benefits of microneedling and mesotherapy The choice between the two methods depends on your personal preferences and needs. If you prefer to avoid injections but want to enjoy the benefits of mesotherapy, microneedling is the ideal choice for you.
Facial mesotherapy procedure: Step-by-step Preparation of the area Before the treatment begins, an anesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area to ensure the procedure is almost painless. We wait approximately 45 minutes for the cream to take effect. Treatment procedure Once the area is ready, the doctor uses a special very fine needle to make many small punctures on the skin's surface to inject the customized mesotherapy cocktail. The procedure is short and lasts approximately 15-30 minutes.
Immediately after treatment Sunscreen and regenerating cream are applied to address any irritation and protect the skin. Finally, your doctor will give you appropriate instructions for skin care in the days following the treatment. Facial Mesotherapy: Procedure Video Mesotherapy - Facemed - YouTube Results of facial mesotherapy Every person is different, and so are the results they will experience. For some, results may be visible in a few days, while for others, several sessions may be needed. It depends on skin type and age. In general, you can expect a gradual improvement in skin appearance, which becomes even better after a few sessions. The best result is achieved after a complete cycle of treatments, for which it is recommended to repeat the treatment every 2 to 4 weeks for the first 3 sessions. The frequency of repetitions in mesotherapy can vary for each individual, so your doctor will recommend what is appropriate for you. Personalized approach according to age Another advantage of mesotherapy is that it can be adapted to the unique needs of each age, offering different benefits depending on the stage your skin is in. Ages 20-30: Prevention and luminosity At these ages, it functions primarily preventatively . Classic mesotherapy with vitamins and skinboosters offer immediate radiance, deep hydration, and protection from environmental factors. Results are immediately visible and last longer at this age. Ages 30-40: Regeneration and first signs of aging At these ages, when the first fine lines begin to appear, treatments like Jalupro, Profhilo, and PRP become the protagonists. They actively stimulate collagen production, improve elasticity, and address the first signs of aging with impressive results. Ages 45+: Intensive anti-aging and restructuring Skin needs more intensive care after 45. Combinations of treatments such as Profhilo with peptides, or PRP with skinboosters offer maximum regenerative action. The goal is to restore lost elasticity, reduce deeper wrinkles, and improve facial contours. The results are impressive but often require more sessions to reach their maximum, as well as maintenance. Customization per skin type Sensitive skin : Gentle ingredients and lower concentrations Oily skin : Treatments with Vitamin C and antioxidants Dry skin : Intense hydration with hyaluronic acid and skinboosters Skin with hyperpigmentation : Whitening treatments with targeted...
There is also a possibility of an allergic reaction, which is why we take a medical history before application. See the detailed side effects of mesotherapy here. How does mesotherapy differ from Botox? Mesotherapy generally improves the quality and texture of the skin, offering hydration, elasticity, and natural radiance with the nourishing ingredients injected into the skin. In contrast, Botox acts specifically on expression wrinkles, relaxing the muscles that cause them and instantly smoothing the face. Essentially, mesotherapy renews the skin from within, while Botox specifically addresses wrinkles. See the detailed differences between mesotherapy and Botox. What is the cost of mesotherapy? The cost for mesotherapy is 80€, and you can see more options below in our price list.
Conclusion Mesotherapy is the ideal choice if you are looking for a solution for natural radiance and rejuvenation without drastic interventions.

How often is facial mesotherapy performed?
We usually start with 3 sessions that are performed with intervals of approximately 2-4 weeks between them to boost the desired result. This triple set of treatments can be repeated twice a year. Another very popular treatment regimen is the application of mesotherapy every 2-3 months. The intervals may seem frequent, but nourishing and toning the skin is a continuous need that you need to take care of, which you achieve with the treatment.
What is the duration of the results in mesotherapy?
On average, the results last from 2 to 4 months. After the treatment, the skin gradually absorbs the vitamin-rich material that was applied and is rejuvenated.
Does mesotherapy hurt?
Before the start of the treatment, we use an anesthetic cream, significantly reducing pain. So we can say that it is an almost painless treatment, and reactions vary depending on the individual and the application area. Furthermore, the irritation caused by the procedure is minimal and subsides within a few hours.
Is mesotherapy only for the face or also for other areas?
Besides the face, it can also be applied to areas of the body that need it. Areas such as the neck, décolleté, and hands are often neglected and show signs of aging and lose their firmness. In our usual practice, we perform mesotherapy on these areas if needed. Specifically for the neck, skinboosters also seem to be an ideal choice.
What should I be careful about after mesotherapy?
After treatment, it is important to use high-protection sunscreen as the skin may be more sensitive to solar radiation. For the first 24 hours, avoid intense exercise, saunas, and frequent touching of the area to prevent irritation. Ideally, do not use makeup for 12-24 hours and make sure to moisturize your skin with appropriate products that promote healing. Your doctor will inform you about any special care you may need after the treatment. You can see in detail here what to watch out for after mesotherapy .
Does mesotherapy have side effects?
Generally, we could say that it is one of the safest treatments, provided that certified materials are used by a specialized professional. The most common side effect is the appearance of bruising at one of the application sites, which subsides in the following days and can be easily covered with makeup products.
