Treatment Overview
Mesotherapy involves the use of microinjections to target specific skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles and hair loss. The procedure stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, smoother and more hydrated skin.
What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that uses microinjections of a nutrient-rich cocktail. This blend, tailored to individual skin needs, typically contains vitamins, amino acids and hyaluronic acid. Known as “biorejuvenation” or “biorevitalisation,” mesotherapy enhances the skin’s natural repair and hydration processes.
What Are the Benefits of Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy offers numerous benefits, including:
- Skin tightening: Rebuilds collagen and elastin to firm sagging skin.
- Wrinkle reduction: Minimises the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Skin hydration: Deeply hydrates for a plumper, more luminous complexion.
- Hair treatment: Improves circulation and strengthens hair follicles.

What Types of Ingredients Are Used in Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a versatile treatment that introduces a variety of active ingredients directly into the middle layer of the skin (the mesoderm) and scalp. The choice of ingredients depends on the specific area being treated, the desired results and the expertise of the practitioner. This tailored approach is taken by our expert team at the London Regenerative Institute, which allows for personalised treatments that address a wide range of concerns. Some of the most commonly used ingredients in Mesotherapy include:
Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance within the body, renowned for its ability to deeply hydrate the skin. By attracting and retaining moisture, it leaves the skin plump, smooth and refreshed. Additionally, Hyaluronic Acid boosts collagen production, helping to improve elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines. It also offers antioxidant benefits, protecting the skin from free radicals and harmful bacteria.
Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, are essential for maintaining healthy skin. In Mesotherapy, specific amino acids like L-Carnitine are utilised for their ability to transport fat cells, assisting in fat metabolism and reducing localised fat deposits.
Essential vitamins and minerals are another staple in Mesotherapy cocktails. These nutrients play a crucial role in maintaining healthy, resilient skin. They help to reduce visible signs of ageing, such as fine lines and dullness, while also protecting against damage caused by free radicals and environmental stressors.
Enzymes, such as Deoxycholate, are included in some formulations to target and break down fat cells. This can be particularly beneficial for contouring and reducing stubborn fat in specific areas of the body.
By combining these ingredients in customised formulations, Mesotherapy offers a highly effective solution for a variety of skin and body concerns, leaving you with revitalised, healthier-looking skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What scarring can I expect from Mesotherapy?
- Are the results of Mesotherapy permanent?
- What other treatments can help maintain my results?
- How should I prepare for Mesotherapy?
- What aftercare is required for Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy involves the use of microinjections, which are minimally invasive and typically leave no lasting scars. Occasionally, you may notice slight redness or tiny marks at the injection sites, but these usually fade within 24 to 48 hours. It’s a gentle treatment with minimal risk of long-term skin damage, making it suitable for various skin types.
While the results of Mesotherapy are impressive and long-lasting, they are not permanent. The treatment boosts your skin’s health and appearance, but natural ageing processes will continue over time. To maintain the rejuvenated look, it’s recommended to schedule maintenance sessions every 3 to 6 months, depending on your skin's needs and the results you wish to sustain.
To further enhance and extend the benefits of Mesotherapy, combining it with complementary treatments can be highly effective. Options like chemical peels, which help refine skin texture, or RF Microneedling with exosomes, known for boosting collagen production and cellular repair, are excellent choices. Your practitioner can recommend a tailored plan for optimal results.
Preparation is simple yet important. To minimise the risk of bruising, avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications such as aspirin or ibuprofen for 24 to 48 hours before the procedure. Ensure your skin or hair is clean, free from heavy makeup and well-moisturised to optimise treatment efficacy.
After your session, follow a few straightforward guidelines to ensure a smooth recovery. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas and direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours. Keep your skin well-hydrated and adhere to any additional advice provided by your practitioner to maximise the treatment’s benefits.
