What is Mesotheraphy?
Mesotheraphy procedure is a non surgical treatment that rejuvenates the skin via insertion of micro needles. The ingredients which are injected via micro needles consist of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. This treatment helps treating different skin conditions by injecting small amounts directly into the mesoderm. As the injection is made directly to the middle layer of the skin, the substances effectively target the treated area.
How does Mesotheraphy Work?
Vitamins such as A, E, C and B-complex are used during this process. This helps rejuvenating and hydrating the skin, ending up with stimulating the tissues to produce collagen and elastin.
The mesotheraphy treatment involves multiple micro injections through a special short needle. Each time, a small amount is injected to various areas around the face. The special solution is injected into the mesodermal layer.
Each session takes around 30 to 50 minutes. How many sessions will be needed should be discussed with the patient’s specialist.
