What Is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is a medical technique that involves injecting small amounts of medications, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into the skin. It was developed in France in the 1950s and has been used for various purposes, including pain relief, skin rejuvenation, and localized fat reduction.

The injections are typically administered with a device with fine needles, and the mixture of substances injected depends on the specific goals of the treatment. For example, in cosmetic mesotherapy, the injections might contain substances like hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and other compounds that improve the appearance and texture of the skin.

Mesotherapy is used for a variety of purposes, including:

  • Cosmetic Enhancement: It's often used to rejuvenate and tighten the skin, treat wrinkles, and address issues like cellulite.

  • Pain Management: Some practitioners use mesotherapy to manage localized pain, such as in cases of musculoskeletal conditions.

  • Hair Restoration: Mesotherapy can also be used to stimulate hair growth and treat conditions like alopecia.
