Active ingredients used in Mesotherapy are introduced into the skin by small micro injections. For patients who fear needles, this can also be achieved by a method known as transdermal mesotherapy (see Transdermal Mesotherapy).
The needles used in Mesotherapy are very short and thin so the doctor can deliver the medications to the right depth.
Different mesotherapy ingredients are used for different indications. In addition, the long-term results of Mesotherapy treatments are very dependent on what active ingredients are present in the Mesotherapy solution and how many treatments are prescribed.
At Skin Renewal, for anti-ageing benefits, we use a combination of award-winning growth factors, peptides, amino acids, vitamins, nucleic acids, co-factors and hyaluronic acid.
These combinations present in the cocktail, stimulate the production of collagen so that the dermis is strengthened thereby improving skin tone and texture. The hyaluronic acid present in the cocktail attracts water and rehydrates the skin resulting in an improved appearance. For pigmentation, patented pigmentation-inhibiting peptides are used to improve hormonal pigmentation.
At Skin Renewal for anti-ageing benefits, we use a variety of different solutions in order to achieve specific results.

Mesotherapy is a very useful treatment for “prejuvenation” or age prevention as well as age-correction. For anti-ageing skin rejuvenation: Intrinsic ageing, also known as the natural ageing process, is a continuous process that normally begins in our mid-20s. Within the skin, collagen production slows, and elastin, the substance that enables skin to snap back into place, has a bit less spring. Dead skin cells do not shed as quickly and turnover of new skin cells may decrease slightly. While these changes usually begin in our 20s, the signs of intrinsic ageing are typically not visible until our mid-thirties. The sooner one can start prevention (prejuvenation) the better!
Mesotherapy with Growth Factors stimulates the fibroblasts to produce collagen, which is the major support structure for the skin. If one can keep one's skin firm and taught with collagen, then the sagging that takes place over time can be contained as tighter skin supports the soft tissues of the face and body.
A series of treatments is necessary usually 1 treatment every 2-4 weeks and then 1 treatment every 6 to 12 weeks for maintenance.
Rather than waiting until their problems are bothersome again, patients must appreciate that maintenance goes a long way and that single mesotherapy treatments should be repeated twice yearly after an initial course.
For anti-ageing mesotherapy there is no downtime at all. The skin may at best feel somewhat dry and tight for a day or two, but certainly no daily activities need to be in any way hindered by having a mesotherapy treatment.
After mesotherapy for double chin and fat reduction, a mild redness and swelling of the skin occurs following the procedure which usually resolves within 1 to 3 days and in some cases a bit of tenderness and bruising may occur (as this is a deeper treatment). For best results for a double chin reduction, 4 to 8 treatments are needed 2 weeks apart.
The safety of the procedure is dependent on who injects the Mesotherapy product and how it is injected. At Skin Renewal, mesotherapy treatments are only performed by doctors and strict medical protocols adhered to. Hundreds of treatments have been administered to our patients with great results and minimal downtime and side effects.
Mesotherapy was recognized by the French National Academy of Medicine in 1986 as an integral part of traditional medicine. Each day, thousands of doctors worldwide use Mesotherapy to help tens of thousands of patients.
For anti ageing mesotherapy there is no downtime at all. The skin may at best feel somewhat dry and tight for a day or two, but certainly no daily activities need to be in any way hindered by having a mesotherapy treatment.
After mesotherapy for double chin and fat reduction, (Lipodissolve), a mild redness and swelling of the skin occurs following the procedure which usually resolves within 1 to 3 days and in some cases a bit of tenderness and bruising may occur (as this is a deeper treatment). However, since the introduction of a radiofrequency RF procedure after the Mesotherapy treatment especially for the double chin, there are only mild side effects such as swelling and bruising which resolve without any consequences and we have seen a dramatic improvement in long term results see RAIL-THIN.
For best results for a double chin reduction, 4 to 8 treatments are needed 2 weeks apart.
Mesotherapy safely treats all skin types without significant pain or down-time. It can erase centimetres of the areas treated in 4 to 6 treatment sessions one week apart.
