Mesotherapy was developed in the 1950s by the French physician Dr. Michel Pistor. Originally intended for the treatment of asthma, it soon became apparent that it also had a positive effect on the skin. Today, mesotherapy is mainly used in aesthetic medicine, especially for skin rejuvenation.

But what exactly is mesotherapy? At its core, it is a minimally invasive method that aims to improve the skin from the inside out. Using microinjections, active ingredient cocktails of vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, minerals, hyaluronic acid and coenzymes are delivered directly into the middle layer of the skin, the mesoderm.

Mesotherapy works by stimulating skin renewal and promoting blood flow and oxygenation in the treated areas. In this way, a depot of active ingredients is created under the skin, guaranteeing long-lasting and rapid results.

The end result? A more vital, fresher skin. Small wrinkles are smoothed, acne scars are reduced and pigmentation disorders are softened. In other words, mesotherapy is a path to youthful, smoother skin without having to undergo surgery or Botox treatments.

Perhaps most impressive is the fact that there is no downtime with mesotherapy. The treatment takes about 30 minutes and is painless. It is a type of "lunchtime facelift" that can be performed during your lunch break, after which you can go right back to your normal life.

Despite the many benefits, it is important to know that mesotherapy, like any other medical treatment, can have side effects. These can be redness, slight swelling or rarely small bruises. However, these side effects are usually temporary and subside on their own after a short time.
