Mesotherapy

1. What Is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is a procedure in which vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes and substances such as hyaluronic acid are delivered into the middle layer of the skin via microinjections.

The aims are to:

• Nourish the skin
• Accelerate regeneration
• Increase circulation
• Improve the quality of the skin and hair

This is a non-surgical treatment.

2. In Which Areas Is Mesotherapy Used?

Mesotherapy is most commonly applied to:

• Face, neck and décolleté
• Eye area
• Scalp (for hair loss)
• Backs of the hands
• Localised fat and cellulite

3. Mechanism of Action of Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy:

• Delivers nutrients directly under the skin
• Stimulates collagen and elastin production
• Increases blood circulation
• Supports cell renewal

This effect develops over time and strengthens with repeated sessions.

4. Aesthetic and Functional Goals of Mesotherapy

With mesotherapy:

• The skin appears brighter and more radiant
• Fine lines are reduced
• Hair loss may slow down
• Hair strands become stronger
• The appearance of cellulite may be reduced

The aim is to provide natural rejuvenation.

5. Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Mesotherapy?

Suitable candidates are individuals who:

• Experience a decrease in skin or hair quality
• Do not want surgery
• Are in a general state of health suitable for treatment
• Have realistic expectations

Mesotherapy is not performed during pregnancy or in the presence of active infection.

6. Pre-Treatment Evaluation

During the evaluation phase:

• The treatment area and its needs are identified
• The injectable “cocktail” to be used is planned
• The number of sessions and intervals are determined

This stage is critical for treatment effectiveness.

7. How Is Mesotherapy Performed?

• The treatment area is cleansed
• Microinjections are performed into the superficial dermis using fine needles
• A mild stinging or pricking sensation may be felt during the procedure
• No massage is performed afterwards

8. The First Hours After the Procedure

• Make-up is not recommended for the first 24 hours
• Sun exposure and hot environments should be avoided
• Alcohol consumption should be postponed

These measures support skin recovery.

9. Staying in Istanbul and Follow-Up

• Being in Istanbul on the day of the procedure is sufficient
• If needed, follow-up visits can be scheduled between sessions

10. Returning to Social Life

• You can return to social life on the same day
• Redness usually subsides in a short time
• Mesotherapy does not significantly restrict daily activities

11. Effect and Duration of Mesotherapy

• The effect increases gradually with each session
• With regular treatments, results can be maintained for a longer period
• Maintenance sessions may be recommended

12. Possible Side Effects and Limitations

• Mild redness
• Pinpoint bruising
• Temporary tenderness

These effects are usually temporary and resolve spontaneously.

13. Results and Expectation Management

The goals of mesotherapy are:

• Healthier, more vibrant skin
• Stronger, better-nourished hair
• Natural rejuvenation

The aim is not a “miracle in a single session”, but gradual and consistent improvement with regular treatments.
