What Is Mesotherapy and Can It Improve My Skin?

Dr Michael Pistor, a French doctor, developed the technique in 1952.

The technique uses micro-injections of vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants, and plant extracts to rejuvenate and tighten skin, improve hair quality, as well as remove excess fat.


Mesotherapy – Natural Vegan Solution

With a growing number of people turning to homoeopathic and natural plant extract-based medications to improve their health and wellbeing, we are delighted to offer mesotherapy treatments using only plant and vitamin formulas.

Our trained pharmacist will only use L’Aesthetic range of high-quality mesotherapy vitamin cocktails so that your skin responds naturally to rejuvenate itself.


What Are The Benefits of Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy can instantly improve dull, tired-looking skin and superficial wrinkles but can also help to improve sluggish blood circulation, helping the body to flush out ageing toxins. This treatment can also be used to address hyperpigmentation, treat acne and your skin will often respond with an immediate glow after your treatment.

Mesotherapy works by stimulating the lower layers of the skin to produce more collagen and elastin. Fresh new skin cells come up to the surface to help combat the signs of ageing. The ingredients in the vitamin cocktail are derived from plants and are a combination of vitamins, Hyaluronic acid, peptides, antioxidants and trace elements.

Mesotherapy treatment is great if you are going to an event and you want a quick skin boost and can be combined alongside anti-wrinkle injections and fillers.

Is Mesotherapy painful?

No. However if your skin is over-sensitive a numbing cream can be used. You should only feel tiny scratches on your skin and the treatment lasts about 20 min.


How do you provide the mesotherapy treatment?

The mesotherapy treatment we carry out at Doorstep Pharmacy is non-invasive. We use either a top of the range professional micro-needling pen or a derma-roller instead of needles.

What’s the treatment used for?

Mesotherapy can be used to help improve the body, hair and cellulite. Depending on the area of treatment, we use different vitamin cocktails along with the micro-needling pen or derma-roller to induce collagen production and create healthy looking skin and hair.

The micro-needling treatment creates fine channels in your skin thereby encouraging it to actively repair itself. The mesotherapy cocktail of vitamins which is applied at the same time contains amino acids that help your skin produce elastin and collagen, and vitamins to mop up free radicals. The result is to keep your skin glowing and youthful looking.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Like with any other cosmetic injection procedure, very rare side effects might include bruising, reaction to the injected vitamin cocktail, infection, inflammation and swelling.


Can I Return To Work Immediately After Mesotherapy?

Your face may look and feel slightly red straight after treatment, but we can apply a soothing face mask immediately after treatment to help alleviate this. Redness will normally subside within 48 hours.

Mesotherapy is ideal if you don’t want to go down the Botox and Fillers route but rather aim to achieve a natural glowing look and nourish your skin from the inside out with plant-based effective solutions.
