Facial mesotherapy is a non-invasive aesthetic therapy that aims to revitalize, hydrate, and improve the quality of the skin. It involves the delivery of active substances, such as vitamins, amino acids, peptides, and antioxidants, into the middle layers of the skin through microinjections or other techniques such as Dermapen or microneedling.
Benefits of Facial Mesotherapy

Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
-
Improvement of skin elasticity and firmness
-
Restoration of dull texture and tired skin

Enhancement of collagen and elastin production
Types of Mesotherapy
-
Injection Mesotherapy – Substances are introduced into the skin with microinjections
-
Needle-Free Mesotherapy – Devices like Dermapen are used to cause microinjury for better absorption of active ingredients
-
Autologous Mesotherapy (PRP – Platelet Rich Plasma) – Plasma from the patient’s blood enriched with platelets is used, also known as “Vampire Facial.” Under specific conditions, platelets have the ability to release proteins (growth factors) related to skin healing and regeneration.
Duration and Results
3-6 sessions are usually required depending on the needs of the skin.
The first results are visible within a few days after treatment.
To maintain the results, it is recommended to repeat the treatment every 3-6 months depending on the type of mesotherapy.
