How does it work?
Injections of a mesotherapy solution are introduced to the superficial layers of the skin either by hand or with a mesotherapy device. Needling will improve fine lines, broken capillaries and improve texture. Bespoke Mesotherapy solutions can be prepared to address specific skin concerns.
Formulations include Hyaluronic acid, vitamins, anti-oxidants, minerals, nucleic acids, amino acids and enzymes. Botulinum toxin type A can be added to decrease pore size, control oil production and address excess facial perspiration. This is called Mesobotox.
Who will perform the treatment?
Our policy is that if you can’t prescribe it, you shouldn’t be doing it. Our injectables are expertly performed by Rebecca a certified aesthetic nurse prescriber with over 15 years Experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is mesotherapy?
Developed in 1952 by French physician Michel Pistor, to relieve pain, where it continues to be used today. Mesotherapy can be used to treat lines and wrinkles, tighten loose skin, lighten pigmented skin and treat hair loss. The technique uses very fine needles to deliver a series of mini injections into the mesoderm ( middle layer) of the skin to improve circulation and reduce inflammation

All ages and skin type can benefit from mesotherapy treatments, if you are over 18 and in general good health you are a potential candidate for treatment. Suitibility is only confirmed after a comprehensive consultation skin analysis and medical history with Rebecca.
