What is the procedure for mesotherapy?
First, the skin is sterilized and a pomade or spray is applied to the skin so that it is relieved of pain. A suitable mixture (cocktail) is prepared by using a number of medications and then it is applied to the skin manually or with a special sprayer by using very thin special needles. Just as it can be applied skin-deep, it can also be injected to the depth of the skin in the form of small bubbles. Those bubbles shall vanish a few hours later. The sessions are held every 2, 4, or 8 weeks.

What kind of effect do mesotherapy medications make?
The amount of medication in mesotherapy is much less than those swallowed or injected. They are comprised of substances which satisfy the needs of tissues such as vitamin, mineral, or amino acid and reinforce the tissues. Some medications stimulate substances that ensure flexibility and firmness of the tissue. Some ensure the absorption of medications by increasing blood build up in the tissue or else removal of waste substances. Some disintegrate fat molecules. Due to such effects, the skin become rejuvenated, more colourful, and shining while hair looks healthier, local fat is lost, and signs of ageing diminish.
