Treatment Summary

Mesotherapy delivers a customised cocktail of vitamins, amino acids, peptides and antioxidants directly into the dermis via fine micro-injections. The cocktail is selected to your concern — hydration, brightness, anti-oxidant support or general skin health. It is course-based, with sessions typically 2–3 weeks apart, and maintained quarterly.

Also known as: vitamin injection · skin booster injection · NCTF · biorevitalisation · meso facial

Key Benefits

Tailored Cocktail

The mix is chosen for your skin: hydration, antioxidant support, brightness or repair.

Direct Delivery

Active ingredients reach the dermis where topical products simply cannot.

Gentle and Cumulative

Effects build over a course rather than from a single session.

Combines Well

Pairs sensibly with microneedling, peels and bio-stimulators in a planned programme.

What mesotherapy is

Mesotherapy is a delivery technique: the injection of small volumes of active ingredients into the mesoderm — the middle layer of the skin — where they can reach fibroblasts and other dermal targets directly. The term covers a range of products and indications; in modern aesthetic practice, the focus is on tailored cocktails of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, peptides, amino acids and antioxidants delivered for skin quality, hydration and radiance.

It is gentle, course-based and well-tolerated. It is not a dramatic single-session treatment.

What mesotherapy is good for

We use mesotherapy primarily for:

  • Dull, dehydrated, urban-pollution-exposed skin that wants antioxidant and vitamin support
  • Crepey neck and décolletage, where gentler delivery suits thinner skin
  • Pre-event glow programmes as part of a four-week run-in to a wedding or major event
  • Maintenance between Profhilo or polynucleotide courses

It is not the right tool when you need volume, structural change, or bio-remodelling at the level Profhilo or polynucleotides deliver.

How we choose the cocktail

The right cocktail depends on the dominant concern. For hydration and overall quality, we typically use NCTF 135HA — a standardised CE-marked product with hyaluronic acid plus 59 active ingredients. For brightness and pigment-prone skin, vitamin C-led cocktails work well. For antioxidant and anti-pollution support, glutathione and vitamin-blend cocktails are useful. We always work from CE-marked, manufacturer-specified products with traceable composition.

Who suits mesotherapy

Mesotherapy suits adults with concerns around skin quality and radiance who want a gentle, gradual approach — including clients new to aesthetic medicine, clients who prefer not to start with stronger injectables, and clients between courses of bio-remodelling treatments. It is also useful for the scalp in early-stage hair thinning programmes.

It is not appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding, in active skin infection, or with known allergy to any planned cocktail component.

What happens on the day

Treatment takes 30–45 minutes for face, longer if combined with neck and décolletage. After cleansing and topical anaesthesia, we deliver the cocktail as multiple small injections across the area, either by hand or using a mesogun for very superficial work. You will see small papules at each injection point that settle within hours.

Results timeline

Most clients notice fresher, better-hydrated skin within a few days of the first session. The cumulative effect on tone, texture and quality builds over the course of 4–6 sessions and is most visible at 2–4 weeks after the final loading session.

Maintenance

Maintenance is typically every 4–8 weeks depending on the cocktail used and the goals. Mesotherapy combines well with microneedling and peels in a planned skin programme, but we sequence carefully — not stacked on the same skin in the same week.

What to Expect

  1. 1

    Skin Consultation

    We assess your skin and concerns, and select the appropriate mesotherapy cocktail (e.g. NCTF, vitamin C, antioxidant blend).

  2. 2

    Cleanse and Numb

    Skin is cleansed and a topical anaesthetic is applied for 15–20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Micro-Injection

    Multiple small injections deliver the cocktail across the face (and neck/décolletage if planned).

  4. 4

    Course of 4–6 Sessions

    Sessions are spaced 2–3 weeks apart for the loading course, then maintained every 4–8 weeks.

Suitability

Aesthetic care is highly individual. The points below are general guidance — final suitability for mesotherapy is always confirmed in your consultation.

Often suitable for

  • Dull, dehydrated or tired-looking skin
  • Pollution-exposed urban skin needing antioxidant support
  • Pre-event glow programmes
  • Crepey neck and décolletage
  • Clients who prefer gentle, course-based skin improvement

May not be suitable if

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Active skin infection or inflammation in the treatment area
  • Known allergy to any component of the planned cocktail
  • Bleeding disorders without medical clearance
  • Clients seeking a single-session dramatic change (mesotherapy is gradual)

Aftercare

Caring for your results

A few simple steps in the first 24–48 hours help your results settle as expected.

  • Avoid make-up over treated skin for 12 hours
  • Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas and hot showers for 24 hours
  • Use a gentle moisturiser and SPF from day two
  • Mild redness and tiny papules at injection points settle within hours
  • Photograph at baseline to track gradual improvement honestly

Treatment Areas

  • Scalp

Mesotherapy as a delivery technique has decades of clinical use across dermatology and aesthetic medicine. Modern aesthetic mesotherapy uses CE-marked product ranges (e.g. NCTF/Fillmed, BCN, Toskani) with documented compositional standards. Evidence supports improvements in skin hydration, elasticity and antioxidant status when delivered as a course; we choose ingredients with the strongest evidence and best tolerability for the indication.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is in a mesotherapy cocktail?
It varies. Common ingredients include hyaluronic acid, vitamins (C, B-complex, E), amino acids, peptides, coenzymes, minerals and antioxidants. Some cocktails (such as NCTF 135HA) are pre-mixed standardised products; others are blended at point of use. We choose the cocktail to match your concern and skin type.

How does mesotherapy differ from Profhilo or Sunekos?
Profhilo and Sunekos are specific HA-based bio-remodelling products with defined protocols. Mesotherapy is a delivery technique using a much broader range of cocktails with different actives. Mesotherapy is generally gentler and more flexible, but its effects are more cumulative; the others have more defined and well-evidenced bio-remodelling effects.

How many sessions will I need?
A typical loading course is 4–6 sessions, spaced 2–3 weeks apart. Maintenance is then every 4–8 weeks depending on the cocktail and concern. Pre-event 'glow' programmes are usually 2–3 sessions in the four weeks before the event.

When will I see results?
Most clients notice improved hydration and 'fresher' skin within a few days of the first session. The cumulative effect on tone, texture and quality builds over the course.

Is there downtime?
Minimal. You will see small papules at injection points and possibly mild redness for a few hours. Most clients return to normal activity the same day. We just ask that you avoid heavy exercise and make-up for 12–24 hours.

Can mesotherapy be combined with microneedling or peels?
Yes. We often build mesotherapy into a planned skin programme that may include microneedling, peels, Profhilo or polynucleotides. Sequencing matters — we typically do mesotherapy before or two weeks after a peel/microneedling session, not on the same skin in the same week.
