What does the treatment involve ?
It is a safe, natural alternative to invasive cosmetic procedures, and is a term used to describe a series of micro injection techniques also known as Nappage which injects substances superficially into the epidermis. Each injection leaves a small amount of product on the skin which will quickly absorb.
Mesotherapy delivers hyaluronic acid, growth factors and vitamins into the crucial layers of the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a key component of youthful hydrated skin but as we age it’s levels deplete and this can leave our skin looking dehydrated and lack lustre.
Is mesotherapy safe ?
Yes, treatment is very safe when carried out by a competent Practitioner.
Are there any side effects ?
The side effects are very minimal – there can be some blotchiness and mild swelling for several hours after treatment, but most clients return straight to normal activities.
Although the skin is injected multiple times, the combination of super-fine needles and our mesotherapy injection techniques means that there is very little in the way of bleeding – sometimes none at all.
Is treatment painful ?
We understand that some clients dislike the idea of needles, but the actual mesotherapy process is relatively comfortable and surprisingly pain-free. It’s best described as a pinching sensation.
If you are nervous or treatment is in a more sensitive area, we can use a topical anaesthetic in advance of treatment.
How long does it take ?
Allow 45 minutes.
What results can I expect ?
Clients commonly describe their skin as looking radiant, glowing and firmer, although we generally recommend a short course of treatments for the best results to be seen.
Results develop over time as collagen is built.

Are there any things I need to know to prepare myself for having Mesotherapy ?
This will be discussed with you at your pre-treatment consultation in depth. Things we need you to be aware of are:
- Avoiding consuming alcohol at least 24 hours before.
- Avoiding blood thinning medication or anti-inflammatories a few days leading up to treatment (these can increase the possibility of bruising).
- Avoid any hair removal a few days before treatment (shaving, waxing, threading) in the area/s you wish treating.
- Avoid using products with anti-ageing ingredients (retinol, alpha hydroxy acids, glycolic acid) a week leading up to treatment.
Aftercare following a Mesotherapy Treatment
- No makeup for the rest of the day, to keep the skin clean and minimise risk of infection.
- Avoid hot showers or saunas for the rest of the day, as the heat can slow down healing.
