Meso-Therapy
Mesotherapy is a medical technique developed in 1952 by the renowned French physician, Dr Michel Pistor for the management of pain and vascular disorders. It consist of a minimally invasive procedure designed to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, thereby creating an optimal environment for maintaining healthy skin and supporting structures. This adaptive mesotherapy technique is employed to address concerns such as wrinkles, dull skin, and hyperpigmentation, serving as both a pro-aging and anti-inflammatory treatment. The process involves a series of precise injections that deliver a nourishing and revitalizing formula directly into the skin. Mesotherapy has gained significant popularity among individuals seeking a more natural and homeopathic approach to skin rejuvenation
Targeted Problems
​Mesotherapy is an excellent alternative for individuals seeking an alternative solution to botulism toxins or commercially prepared fillers while striving for a naturally radiant appearance. This treatment nourishes the skin from within using PRF, plant-based and other effective solutions. A typical mesotherapy treatment comprises over 50 active ingredients designed to nourish, repair, and rejuvenate the skin. The treatment administers a concentrated dose of skin-friendly components, including antioxidants that combat free radicals, as well as essential nutrients such as hyaluronic acid, peptides, and vitamins A, C, E, and B complex. Additionally, it contains vital minerals like magnesium, sodium, potassium, and calcium, along with amino acids that promote the production of elastin and collagen. Mesotherapy enhances skin vibrancy and provides essential nourishment, contributing to the reduction of visible signs of aging and resulting in a more youthful and healthy complexion.

Enhance your mesotherapy experience with advanced regeneration techniques utilizing Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) injections, sourced from your own blood. This cutting-edge regenerative procedure is unparalleled, as PRF is rich in billions of cellular and protein components that effectively stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin, thereby reinforcing the foundational structures of your skin tissue.
Aging Skin
The biology of aging facial skin involves changes in the epidermis and dermis, including collagen and elastin degradation, cell loss, and decreased skin elasticity, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and other signs of aging. The outer layer of skin (epidermis) thins with age, even though the number of cell layers remains unchanged. Aging skin cells have reduced cellular function, giving rise to a decrease in the number of melanocytes (pigment-producing cells), while the remaining melanocytes increase in size, leading to a paler and more translucent and often "splotchy" appearance. Eventually keratinocytes, melanocytes, and fibroblasts undergo cellular senescence, a process where cells stop dividing and accumulate, contributing to skin aging.
Another contributing factor to aging skin is dermal changes, the layer beneath the epidermis, loses collagen and elastin fibers, which are essential for skin's support matrix or structure providing elasticity.
With reduced fibroblast activity, the number of fibroblasts (cells that produce collagen and elastin) decreases, and their function declines, further contributing to collagen and elastin degradation. (sagging skin).
The extracellular matrix, the space between cells, also changes, with a decrease in glycosaminoglycans (like hyaluronic acid, which helps retain water), leading to drier and less hydrated skin. Blood vessel fragility increases, leading to easier bruising and reduced blood supply to the skin.
Other Factors:
Hormonal changes, such as those that occur with menopause, can cause the skin to become thinner and drier.
Sun Damage: Ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun can damage skin cells, leading to premature aging, wrinkles, and even skin cancer. Factors like smoking, diet, and alcohol consumption can also contribute to skin aging.
Clinical Manifestations:
Wrinkles and Sagging: Reduced collagen and elastin lead to the formation of wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of facial volume. Decreased hydration and reduced oil production make the skin appear drier and rougher. Sun damage and age-related changes can lead to pigmentation changes, such as age spots and uneven skin tone.
About Meso-Therapy
How Mesotherapy with PRF Works:
Mesotherapy involves injecting small amounts of a solution, in this case PRF, into the skin. The PRF solution contains growth factors and fibrin, which stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and promote healing.
The fibrin network acts as a scaffold for tissue regeneration, helping to repair damaged skin and improve its overall appearance.
PRF can be used for various purposes, including skin rejuvenation, hair growth stimulation, and wound healing. i-PRF: (injectable PRF) is a promising treatment modality for skin rejuvenation in the periorbital area.
​
What is PRF?
PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin, a natural, autologous (derived from the patient's own blood) treatment that uses the body's natural healing properties to rejuvenate the skin. Unlike traditional Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), PRF involves a more sophisticated process, creating a fibrin matrix that promotes tissue regeneration and accelerates healing. PRF is obtained by drawing a small blood sample, centrifuging it without anticoagulants or chemicals, and separating the blood into layers, with the PRF clot forming in the middle layer. PRF contains a higher concentration of platelets and leukocytes, embedded within a fibrin network that acts as a scaffold for tissue regeneration. PRF can exist in both solid and liquid forms, with the injectable variant, i-PRF, being particularly advantageous due to its high concentration of growth factors.
Benefits of PRF Mesotherapy:
-
Skin Rejuvenation: Stimulates collagen production, improves skin texture, and reduces wrinkles and fine lines.
-
Hair Growth: Stimulates hair growth and improves hair strength and thickness.
-
Scar Reduction: Helps to reduce the appearance of scars, including acne scars.
-
Wound Healing: Promotes faster and more effective wound healing.
-
Natural and Safe: Uses the body's own resources, making it a natural and safe treatment option.

Cost of Mesotherapy
The cost of mesotherapy typically ranges from $850 for a single facial treatment. If your provider recommends a series of treatments, the total cost may vary based on the number of sessions required to achieve your skin rejuvenation goals. Mesotherapy can be performed on any area of the body, and the cost may vary depending on the surface area being treated.
​
Downtime
Mesotherapy typically has minimal downtime, and many patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Some may experience slight redness, swelling, or bruising, but these usually subside within 24 to 48 hours. It's generally advised to avoid touching or massaging the treated area for the first 24-48 hours to minimize the risk of infection and to allow the solution to absorb properly.
