What is facial mesotherapy? Facial mesotherapy is an injectable treatment that revitalizes the skin. Simply put, it's 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, and also has a preventive action against their appearance, thus offering long-term results. Moreover, it stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin (the proteins responsible for firmness and elasticity) and provides firm and youthful skin.

Mesotherapy application areas 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, moisturizing 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 delicate compared to any other area of the body and more prone to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging . It addresses issues in this specific area, such as dark circles and wrinkles under the eyes. The skin becomes healthier, firmer and brighter. Neck This is an area that is often neglected, and the signs of aging begin to 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 often neglected in our daily care. In this area, the skin is thinner with fewer sebaceous glands. It has significant sun exposure, which leads to fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, and discolorations. Mesotherapy is the ideal solution for rejuvenating the area. It provides deep hydration, improves skin texture, and offers a more firm and even appearance . Hands Our hands similarly succumb to time as their skin thins over the years. Hand mesotherapy can improve skin texture, reduce spots , and provide volume, giving them a more youthful appearance. Scalp Mesotherapy can serve as an adjunct treatment against hair loss . It is applied to the scalp, nourishes hair follicles, and promotes the growth of new hair. Furthermore, it can improve hair quality, giving it more volume and shine.
Types of facial mesotherapy The beauty of the treatment lies in its customization. Depending on the individual needs of the skin, 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 aimed at nourishing, restoring, and rejuvenating the skin. Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, multivitamins, peptides, L-carnitine, antioxidants, and plant extracts. Brightening mesotherapy Brightening mesotherapy is specifically designed to treat discolorations, spots, and uneven melanin distribution. It uses targeted ingredients such as vitamin C, kojic acid, arbutin, and other active brighteners, which are injected directly into the skin. The treatment brightens the skin, reduces melasma, and creates a more even and radiant tone. It is ideal for those who want to treat hyperpigmentation or melasma from sun exposure or intense light. Autologous PRP mesotherapy PRP treatment (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a popular, injectable non-invasive aesthetic treatment that utilizes the power of your own blood, collected through a simple blood draw. Subsequently, through a special process, plasma rich in platelets is separated. This "valuable" ingredient is re-administered to the skin via mesotherapy, activating the natural mechanisms of regeneration and production of collagen and elastin. It's like your skin is getting an "injection" of rejuvenation from its own cells. Skinboosters & biostimulators Skinboosters and biostimulators are special categories of mesotherapy. Skinboosters, with hyaluronic acid as their main ingredient, provide deep hydration and improve skin texture. Biostimulators stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin, promoting tissue regeneration for long-term anti-aging results. Jalupro HMW: A biostimulator 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 gentle wrinkle smoothing without affecting natural expressions. It also helps regulate oiliness and improve certain types of acne. Profhilo : High-concentration hyaluronic acid skin booster that deeply hydrates and provides 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 renewal, improving skin quality and texture. Peptides: Bioactive molecules that stimulate collagen and elastin production, offering anti-aging action and improving elasticity.
What is the best mesotherapy? The truth is there isn't a single answer. The ideal choice for you depends on a variety of factors such as age, skin type and needs, your expectations from the treatment, your history with aesthetic treatments, and in some cases, your lifestyle. For this reason, it's 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 the absorption of nourishing ingredients without the use of a needle. The differences from classic mesotherapy Injectable mesotherapy: Ingredients are directly injected 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 Covers the entire face 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 process 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 thin needle and makes many small punctures on the skin's surface to inject the customized mesotherapy cocktail. The procedure is short, lasting approximately 15-30 minutes.
Immediately after treatment Sunscreen and regenerating cream are applied to address any irritation and protect the skin. Finally, the doctor provides 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 the skin type and age. Generally, you can expect a gradual improvement in the skin's appearance, which becomes even better after a few sessions. The best result is achieved after a complete cycle of treatments, for which a repeat of the treatment is recommended every 2 to 4 weeks for the first 3 sessions. The frequency of mesotherapy repetitions may vary for each individual, so the doctor will recommend what is suitable 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 of your skin. Ages 20-30: Prevention and radiance At these ages, it functions mainly preventatively . Classic mesotherapy with vitamins and skin boosters offers immediate radiance, deep hydration, and protection from environmental factors. The 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 such as 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+: Intense anti-aging and restructuring The skin needs more intensive care after 45. Combinations of treatments such as Profhilo with peptides, or PRP with skin boosters 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. Adaptation by skin type Sensitive skin : Mild ingredients and lower concentrations Oily skin : Treatments with vitamin C and antioxidants Dry skin : Intense hydration with hyaluronic acid and skin boosters 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 side effects of mesotherapy in detail 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 specifically targets expression wrinkles, relaxing the muscles that cause them and immediately smoothing the face. Essentially, mesotherapy renews the skin from within, while Botox specifically addresses wrinkles. See the 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.

How often is facial mesotherapy performed?
Usually, we start with 3 sessions that take place at intervals of approximately 2-4 weeks between them to boost the desired outcome. This trio of treatments can be repeated twice a year. Another very popular treatment regimen is the application of mesotherapy every 2-3 months. The intervals might seem frequent, but nourishing and toning the skin is an ongoing need that requires care, which you achieve with the treatment.
What is the duration of mesotherapy results?
On average, its results last from 2 to 4 months. After the treatment, the skin gradually absorbs the vitamin-rich material that was applied and is revitalized.
Does mesotherapy hurt?
Before starting 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 other areas too?
In addition to the face, it can also be applied to body areas that need it. Areas such as the neck, décolletage, and hands are often neglected and show signs of aging and loss of firmness. In our usual practice, we also perform mesotherapy on these areas if needed. Specifically for the neck, skinboosters also seem to be an ideal choice.
What should I watch out for after mesotherapy?
After the treatment, it is important to use high-protection sunscreen as the skin may be more sensitive to sun exposure. For the first 24 hours, avoid intense exercise, sauna, and frequent touching of the area to prevent irritation. Ideally, do not use makeup for 12-24 hours and make sure to hydrate 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 undesirable side effect is the appearance of a bruise (hematoma) at one of the application sites, which subsides within a few days and can be easily covered with makeup products.
