Mesotherapy

For skin-quality goals — hydration, tone, mild laxity — most people see a gradual improvement over a course of sessions. It is not a substitute for work that addresses volume loss, deep wrinkles or sagging, and we will tell you honestly if that is what you need.

Face, neck, décolletage, hands and scalp, and more than one area can be covered in a single session. Thin-skinned areas such as the under-eye and the back of the hand bruise more readily and take a shallower, smaller dose, so we agree the areas at the same time as the solution.

A typical starting course is 3–5 sessions spaced about two weeks apart, followed by maintenance every few months. Your clinician will tailor this to your skin and goals at consultation.

Most people describe a light, brief tingling or pinching rather than real pain — a series of small, quick pricks from an ultra-fine needle, sharpest in thin-skinned places such as the under-eye. A medical-grade topical numbing cream is left on the area for 20–30 minutes first, which is what makes the session comfortable; the injections themselves take 20–45 minutes. Afterwards the area can feel warm or tight for the rest of the day, and pinpoint marks and redness settle within 24–48 hours. Nothing stronger than the numbing cream is needed.

A refreshed, hydrated glow often shows within two to three days of the first session, but the meaningful change builds across the full course. Once the course is complete, results typically last around 12–18 months, with maintenance sessions every few months preserving the effect. Photos taken before you start are the honest way to track progress.

Yes — a single session is a 20–45 minute walk-in, walk-out visit with no overnight admission and no flight restrictions afterwards, so you can fly home the same day if that is your plan. A full course runs 3–5 sessions about two weeks apart, so most patients complete it over more than one trip or continue maintenance at home. We plan this with you before you book anything.

Yes, and many patients travelling from abroad do. A session is short and leaves no downtime, so it sits easily alongside other quick, non-surgical work in the same visit — lip augmentation, including the vertical Russian lips technique, non-surgical rhinoplasty (the liquid nose job), or Redensity under-eye light filling. Each is assessed on its own merits at consultation, and we will say plainly if it is better to space them out than to do everything in one sitting.

Leave makeup, heavy skincare and intense exercise for the rest of the day. Most people return to their normal routine the next morning.

Microneedling creates micro-channels to prompt the skin's own response, and filler adds structural volume. Mesotherapy delivers a tailored solution into the skin itself, focused on quality rather than shape.

Mesotherapy is also used on the scalp — micro-injections of vitamins, minerals and vasodilators placed around the hair roots, improving local circulation and feeding dormant hair follicles — and systematic reviews report encouraging results for androgenetic alopecia. Like skin mesotherapy it works gradually over a course of sessions, and a consultation is the honest way to find out whether your pattern of thinning is likely to respond.

Body mesotherapy with fat-dissolving solutions is used for cellulite and small, stubborn fat pockets. The evidence here is more mixed than for skin-quality treatment, and it is not a substitute for liposuction — expect modest, gradual change over a course at best.

Within limits, yes. Solutions with brightening agents are studied for hyperpigmentation such as melasma and sunspots, and they are the usual choice for the skin blemishes and uneven tone people most often bring us; micro-injections can also soften acne scars and other superficial scarring. Deep or long-standing spots and scars usually respond better to other or combined approaches, which we will set out plainly at consultation.

Ozone therapy is a systemic treatment given as a course of around ten sessions, aimed at blood oxygenation, circulation and cell metabolism rather than at a patch of treated skin. Some patients run it alongside a mesotherapy course when dullness or dark circles look metabolic rather than local. It is a separate treatment with its own assessment, not part of the injections.

Adults over 18 whose concern is skin quality rather than shape — anti-ageing work on fine lines and elasticity, skin blemishes and hyperpigmentation, mild sagging and dehydration, acne scars and other superficial scarring, or thinning hair on the scalp. Eligibility still depends on your health status: an active skin infection, cold sore or breakout in the treatment area means rescheduling, and any allergy to a component of the solution must be ruled out first.

Generally no — as an elective cosmetic treatment, mesotherapy is not usually covered by health insurance. The final cost depends mainly on the number of sessions, the area treated, the solution used and the clinician's expertise.

Yes — €70, charged separately from the per-session price. It covers a face-to-face examination with the specialist and detailed blood laboratory diagnostics. That panel is what rules out medical exclusions and lets the solution be matched to your own metabolism rather than to a template, which is why it comes before anything is booked rather than after.
