Mesoteraphy
Mesotherapy is the injection of personalized mixtures of vitamins, amino acids and hyaluronic acid into the skin or scalp with very fine needles. It supports the skin’s own renewal and repair mechanisms. It is used for dehydrated, dull skin and fine lines on the face, as well as for hair loss; the ingredients and the session plan are chosen according to your concerns.

What Is the Difference Between Mesotherapy, Skin Boosters and Salmon DNA?
These three terms are often confused. In fact, all three belong to the same family of treatments:
-
Mesotherapy: The general name for applying personalized mixtures of substances such as vitamins, amino acids and hyaluronic acid to the skin or scalp.
-
Skin booster (“youth injection”): A more concentrated form of mesotherapy. We usually prefer it for older patients, in whom dehydration, dullness and fine lines are more noticeable.

Salmon DNA (PDRN): An ingredient that supports the skin’s renewal mechanisms. It can be applied on its own, but in our clinic we usually prefer to use it together with other ingredients, as part of a mesotherapy cocktail.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is the application of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other active substances to the skin, hair or body with micro-needles. The aim is to nourish the skin from within and to support renewal and a healthy look.
Which areas can mesotherapy be applied to?
Mesotherapy can be applied to different areas such as the face, neck, décolleté and scalp. The ingredients used vary depending on the purpose of the treatment.
Is mesotherapy painful?
A local anesthetic cream is applied to the area before the treatment. This keeps the pain during the treatment to a minimum. Most people describe it as a “slight stinging sensation”.
Is mesotherapy a permanent solution?
Mesotherapy has long-lasting effects, but it is not permanent. We recommend repeating it once a year to maintain the effect.
When will I see the results of mesotherapy?
The first effects are usually noticed from the 2nd or 3rd session onwards. The skin becomes visibly brighter, more hydrated and more radiant.
Are mesotherapy and PRP the same thing?
No. Mesotherapy is the injection of ready-made mixtures such as vitamins, minerals and hyaluronic acid. PRP is the application of platelet-rich plasma obtained from your own blood. The two methods are sometimes combined for a more effective result.
