What Is Mesotherapy? How Is It Used in Skin Rejuvenation?

Mesotherapy is a medical aesthetic procedure based on the principle of delivering active substances such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and hyaluronic acid into the skin via micro-injections. This method, which has been used in dermatology and aesthetic medicine for many years, is particularly preferred to improve skin quality and reduce signs of aging.

As we age, collagen production in the skin decreases, loss of elasticity occurs, and the skin may take on a duller appearance. Mesotherapy treatments aim to support this process by delivering the active substances the skin needs directly to the dermis layer. This can help achieve a more vibrant, radiant, and healthier-looking skin.

At Estepera Polyclinic, mesotherapy treatments are planned by evaluating the individual’s skin structure and needs. The procedure is considered not only as an aesthetic treatment but also as a medical approach that supports skin quality.

What Is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy takes its name from the “mesoderm,” the middle layer of the skin. In this method, specially formulated mixtures are applied beneath the skin using very fine needles. The goal is to support cellular renewal in the skin and improve skin quality.

The substances delivered to the skin may help stimulate fibroblast cells to support collagen and elastin production. This plays an important role particularly in reducing the appearance of fine wrinkles and supporting skin elasticity.

The ingredients used in mesotherapy treatments generally include the following components:

Hyaluronic acid
Vitamin complexes
Amino acids
Antioxidants
Minerals

These ingredients can be prepared in different combinations according to the skin’s needs.

How Does Mesotherapy Affect the Skin?

Skin aging is associated with collagen loss, decreased elasticity, and slowed cellular renewal. Mesotherapy treatment aims to support this process through active ingredients delivered beneath the skin.

Thanks to the micro-injection technique, the ingredients reach the dermis layer directly. This allows for a more targeted effect compared to creams applied on the surface of the skin.

The main effects of mesotherapy on the skin are as follows:

May help increase moisture levels in the skin
May support collagen production
May contribute to a more even skin tone
May help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
May create a more vibrant and radiant appearance in the skin

These effects may vary from person to person, and the treatment plan is determined through individual assessment.

How Is Mesotherapy Used in Skin Rejuvenation?

In skin rejuvenation treatments, mesotherapy is generally planned as a course of sessions. The intervals between sessions and the number of sessions may vary depending on the individual’s skin type, age, and expectations.

Mesotherapy can often be applied on its own or planned in combination with other medical aesthetic treatments. Especially when combined with collagen-stimulating technologies such as Gold Needle or Morpheus 8, it may help support the skin renewal process.

Additionally, protocols planned in combination with treatments such as Hydrafacial, which provide skin cleansing and barrier support, can make the skin care process more holistic.

For Which Skin Concerns Is Mesotherapy Suitable?

Mesotherapy treatments can be used not only for signs of aging but also to support various skin problems.

The most common conditions for which it is preferred are:

Skin moisture loss
Dull and tired appearance
Fine wrinkles
Loss of elasticity
Uneven skin tone
Sun damage

In some cases, mesotherapy can also be planned as a supportive method in spot treatment processes.

How Is Mesotherapy Applied?

Prior to the application, the individual’s skin structure is evaluated and the content to be used is determined. The skin is then cleansed and, if necessary, a topical anesthetic cream may be applied.

The mesotherapy procedure is generally completed in a short time, and special ingredients are delivered beneath the skin using the micro-injection technique.

The application process generally consists of the following steps:

Skin analysis
Selection of appropriate ingredients
Cleansing of the skin
Micro-injection application
Post-procedure care recommendations

The application time is generally short, and in most cases the individual can return to daily life quickly.

What Happens to the Skin After Mesotherapy?

After mesotherapy, mild redness or sensitivity may be observed on the skin. This condition generally subsides within a short time.

The following changes may be observed on the skin after the procedure:

A more vibrant appearance
Increased skin moisture
Improvement in skin tone
Reduction in the appearance of fine lines

Results generally become more noticeable after several sessions.

Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy treatments may be a suitable option generally for individuals who want to improve their skin quality. However, as with any medical procedure, personal evaluation is important.

Suitable candidates for mesotherapy are generally:

Those experiencing skin moisture loss
Those with complaints of fine wrinkles
Those who want to support their skin quality
Those who complain of a dull and tired skin appearance

The treatment plan should be created on an individual basis following a dermatological evaluation.
