Focus on Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy was first pioneered by the French physician DR Michael Pistor in 1952 and it was originally used to relieve pain.

The Larousse dictionary gives this definition: a therapeutic procedure that consists of injecting a minimal dose of medication, at a slight depth by needles at the closest point possible to the origin of the pain or illness. He liked to summon up this therapy with this phrase: “Little, rarely and in the right place.”


Over the years this procedure has gained popularity as cosmetic procedure for both face and body to rejuvenate and tighten skin, as well as remove excess fat.

Today, mesotherapy is used to treat cellulite, smooth face wrinkles and lines, tighten loose skin, body contouring, lighten pigmented skin, treat alopecia.


A typical mesotherapy cocktail might contain over 50 active ingredients to nourish, repair and rejuvenate skin. Some of the most common skin-friendly ingredients that may be used in mesotherapy are caffeine, hyaluronic acid, L-carnitine, multi-vitamins, peptides, antioxidants and plant extracts. Being a tailored treatment, the ingredients will be chosen according the skin concerns addressed.

Number of sessions depends on skin conditions and it is not unusual to appreciate visible results even after only one session. Best would be 3 to 6 sessions 3 weeks apart.


This treatment is safe for men and women at any age, it is relatively painless and should not induce any pin point bleeding or bruising. The only skin types not suited to Mesotherapy is active acne or excessively oily skin. The results can stay up to 12 to 18 months and there is no downtime.


Contraindications to the treatment include hypersensitive skins (e.g., sunburn) or extremely thin skin, pregnancy or breast feeding, infectious skin condition/disease, needle phobia, allergies to one or more of the ingredients, recent cuts, abrasions or scars, recent laser skin treatment, recent injectable. Some conditions may require a letter from GP
