What is Mesotherapy?
Facial mesotherapy is a revolutionary aesthetic treatment that smooths wrinkles, regenerates and hydrates the skin with small injections of natural beauty.
It is a facial rejuvenation method invented in France by Dr. Michel Pistor.
This is a minimally invasive technique that involves injecting various ingredients into the skin that stimulate collagen production, repairing wrinkles and imperfections.
To maximize the effectiveness of the treatment, 3 to 5 sessions are recommended.
Despite involving needles, the procedure is painless, quick and simple.
Many patients notice a significant effect on skin luminosity.
Who is it for?
This facial treatment can be performed at any age.
It is recommended for situations in which the skin shows:
- Signs of stress and fatigue;
- Loss of luminosity, firmness and vitality;
- Dehydration;
- Deep wrinkles and expression lines;
- Post-traumatic imperfections.
This treatment is also sought after by young people who want to slow down the effects of aging and effectively nourish their skin.
When should it be performed?
- Two to three times a year.
- In winter, to moisturize. Air conditioning, wind, and cold dry out the skin, making it more deficient in vitamins and minerals.
- In summer, to mitigate the effects of prolonged exposure to the sun.
