What is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive technique performed through hyaluronic acid infusions and vitamin complex. Hyaluronic acid is a hydrophilic substance that exists in the human organism and its main role is to keep the skin hydrated.

What can we achieve with Mesotherapy?

Through Mesotherapy increases the production of collagen and elastin and thus the skin can regain its lost firmness. The area of the face, neck, décolleté and hands is hydrated. Fine wrinkles are reduced and the appearance of new ones slows down.

Suitable candidates to proceed with mesotherapy are men and women who have reached the 18 year. The age that someone starts, of course, to do Mesotherapy is about 30 years old.

The usual practice is the mesotherapy to be completed in three sessions, which take place every 2 to 4 weeks. It would be extremely beneficial in order to achieve the best possible result of repeated mesotherapy after a period of 2 or 4 months. Whether the Mesotherapy is done 3 times or 6 depends mainly on the quality of the skin, the degree of wear and the rate of ageing of each person.

What is autologous mesotherapy?

The autologous mesotherapy PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is used just like the classic mesotherapy only in this case ingredients are used by the patient’s own organism. Instead of using cocktails of vitamins and hyaluronic acid, we use ingredients that exist in the blood plasma and specifically the growth factors that contribute to the production of collagen and elastin. They also nourish the skin because they are contained in these precious minerals and proteins. Autologous Mesotherapy is increasingly preferred in recent years due to its spectacular results.
