As we grow older, signs of ageing become more apparent. Fine lines and wrinkles appear as collagen levels naturally deplete and the skin begins to sag. Mesotherapy is effective in treating ageing skin, by restoring firmness and smoothing contours.
During the Mesotherapy procedure, vitamins, enzymes, hormone or plant extracts are injected into the middle layer of the skin using a tiny needle. This will rejuvenate the skin, help target signs of aging and improve hydration.
Our skincare professionals at Harpenden Skin Clinic are trained in the latest Mesotherapy techniques. You can relax into your chosen treatment, knowing that you are in safe hands.
Some areas of the skin can be more sensitive than others, however the depth of the needle is fairly shallow. Most patients report minimal discomfort.
The use of needles may cause redness and mild inflammation at the injection site. This typically lasts up to 24 hours. Some patients report minor bruising around the treated area.
Mesotherapy is only minimally invasive, so downtime is kept to a minimum.
This depends on skin type and the severity of skin conditions. On average, a course of 3-6 sessions is recommended.
Skin will look noticeably smoother and firmer within 2 weeks. Full results may take as long as two months.
