Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is a skin-revitalising treatment where small amounts of active ingredients (most often hydrating and nourishing) are delivered into the superficial layers of the skin using micro-injections. The goal is to improve the look of skin quality: hydration, glow, smoothness and overall freshness.

Most commonly:

• Face
• Neck
• Décolletage
• (In some cases) under-eye area and hands — if suitable for your skin and included in your treatment plan.

It’s a great option if your skin looks:

• dehydrated, tight or “flat”
• dull or tired-looking
• less smooth in texture
• affected by early fine lines (appearance-focused)

Not really — for most people it’s almost painless.

I apply a numbing cream before the treatment, so you usually feel only light pinches or mild stinging in more sensitive areas.

1. Short consultation and skin check
2. Cleanse and disinfect the area
3. Numbing cream (left on to work properly)
4. Micro-injections with the chosen product
5. Skin soothing and clear aftercare instructions

24–48 hours before

• Avoid alcohol (it can increase redness and bruising)
• If you can, avoid very intense workouts the day before
• Don’t use strong actives like retinoids/retinol, acids, or harsh exfoliants

On the day

• Come with clean skin (no make-up if possible)
• Don’t attend if you feel unwell, have a fever, or have an active skin infection/inflammation in the treatment area

Important: medications and medical history

• Tell me if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding/clotting disorder, autoimmune conditions, or a history of significant allergies.
• Do not stop prescribed medication unless your doctor has told you to.

First 24 hours

• Don’t touch, rub or massage the treated area
• Avoid make-up ideally for 24 hours (minimum: until the skin feels calm)
• Avoid sauna, hot baths, steam rooms and intense workouts
• Avoid alcohol

48–72 hours

• Avoid retinol, acids, strong peels, and “active” serums
• Use gentle cleansing + calming hydration

SPF matters

• Wear SPF and avoid direct sun exposure while the skin is settling.

It’s common to experience:

• redness
• mild swelling
• small injection marks (“tiny dots”)
• occasional bruising
  Most of this settles within 24–72 hours (bruising can last a bit longer).

Some people notice a fresher glow within a few days, but the best results usually build gradually as the skin recovers and improves in quality.

It depends on your skin and your goal. Many clients choose a short course of sessions, then maintenance. I’ll recommend a realistic plan after assessing your skin.

Usually yes. However, if you have an important event, it’s smart to book ahead in case you experience redness or small bruises.

Mesotherapy may not be suitable if you have:

• fever, active infection, or you feel unwell
• active cold sores (herpes) or inflamed skin in the area
• pregnancy or breastfeeding (injectables are usually avoided)
• certain medical conditions or medications that increase bruising/infection risk
  I will always screen this in your consultation.

Most are mild and temporary:

• redness, tenderness
• swelling
• bruising
• itching or tightness

If you experience unusual or worsening symptoms (increasing pain, heat, spreading redness, discharge, fever, or any vision changes), seek medical advice urgently.
