Mesotherapy / Vitamin injections
With the ageing process, circulation decreases and the resulting reduction of oxygen and nutrients leaves the body less able to expel toxins. As a consequence, we see the impact of this ageing process especially in the skin as it takes on a greyish palour.
Mesotherapy is used to nourish and rejeuvenate the skin and to promote the production of collagen and elastin as well as to stimulate the skin’s metabolism.
How is the treatment administered?
A very fine needle is used to administer multiple micro injections just below the skin’s surface, directly into the area requiring treatment.
Vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and amino-acids are injected directly into the middle layer of the skin (the mesoderm) and into the problem area requiring the treatment – be that the face, neck, hands or décolletage.
Those who have had mesotherapy comment that their skin looks glowing, rested, radiant and even firmer.
For those who experience discomfort from the injections, a topical anaesthetic cream can be applied before the start of the treatment most of which last around ten minutes.
Mesotherapy is also a highly effective treatment for reducing cellulite in the thighs, stomach and buttocks. Weekly injections are required for ten to twenty weeks for the treatment to be effective.
How frequently do I need to have this treatment?
If you are having injections into the face, we recommend once a fortnight for two months and then maintenance sessions as required. For micro-injections into the hands, neck and décolletage, we normally suggest a treatment course of three sessions one month apart then maintenance sessions several times a year.
Can mesotherapy be combined with other treatments and is it safe?
Mesotherapy can be a wonderful complementary therapy to other anti-ageing treatments such as botox, micro-dermabrasion and the dermal roller but works well as a standalone therapy. It is an extremely safe treatment and has been used by the medical profession since the 1950s to treat a range of conditions and is a very well established treatment in the field of cosmetic dermatology.
