Mesotherapy What is it?
Mesotherapy is a treatment method by injecting active ingredients such as various vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes and hyaluronic acid under the skin. This treatment is used for skin rejuvenation, wrinkle removal, hair loss prevention and overall skin health improvement. Mesotherapy works by micro-injections directly under the skin, so that the active ingredients reach the target area directly.
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive method that allows patients to obtain a quick and effective solution, usually painless. This application can be performed on the face and body for different purposes.
