Mesotherapy involves the micro-injecting of pharmaceutical and homoeopathic preparations into the skin, including amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Designed to reduce the signs of ageing and rejuvenate the skin, creating a healthier-looking complexion. This minimally invasive procedure is an excellent alternative to traditional surgery.

We here are big believers in the power of skincare – knowing just how hard the right ones work to transform skin and cure all manners of issue. But mesotherapy? Well, that’s now more than a belief for us – it’s a beauty religion, because if you trust in face cream, well you can swear by mesotherapy to improve your skin.

In short, and short of a doctor’s note, a trip to your nearest clinic or salon for some mesotherapy is the closest thing you’ll get to transforming the quality of your skin by way of targeted ingredients. Think great skincare from the inside out.

Practiced in the UK for over two decades after making its way across the channel from Paris, mesotherapy involves lots of tiny injections of vitamins, minerals, hyaluronic acid and other celebrated skin ingredients to promote collagen and elastin, while boosting cell metabolism. The shallow jabs can be done manually, or using a ‘meso-gun,’ going beyond the subcutaneous fat as far as the dermis, where it matters – which also means a pretty painless treatment, requiring only a layer of numbing cream, at most, pre-treatment.

More interesting still is that mesotherapy can be tailormade to your face with a bespoke mix of vitamins, minerals, plants and plumping hyaluronic. While some aestheticians make up their own magic (well almost) secret mix, others rely on professional brands for their perfect formula. What isn’t a secret however is that the rewards are reaped instantly. What you get, as soon as some short-lived redness disappears, is that wonderful plumped post-facial skin that you hanker for after a spa treatment, but realistically never seem to get. And best of all, it lasts for weeks as mesotherapy goes more than skin deep – facials need not apply anymore. Rather than correcting the surface of your skin like a cream, this treatment reboots skin from the inside out for overall complexion health, meaning anyone from their late twenties especially can really reap the benefits.
