Mesotherapy: Everything You Need to Know
As the demand for non-surgical fat reduction and skin rejuvenation grows, treatments like Microneedling, Vampire Facials, and Dermal Fillers are becoming household names. However, Mesotherapy is just starting to gain the attention it deserves.
Celebrities like Katy Perry, Jennifer Aniston, and Rihanna are fans of Mesotherapy. So, what makes this treatment special? Is it the secret to faster fat reduction and smoother, youthful-looking skin? Let’s explore everything you need to know about Mesotherapy—what it is, how it works, and what to expect during recovery.
What Is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin eliminating fine lines and wrinkles, stimulating collagen. It is also used to reduce unwanted body fat using a blend of vitamins, minerals, and hyaluronic acid. Developed by French Doctor Michel Pistor in the 1950s, this treatment has been popular in Europe and is now gaining traction in the UK.
The process involves injecting small amounts of active ingredients into the mesoderm (the middle layer of the skin) to target skin firming, anti-aging and fat reduction,
What Mesotherapy Can Do for You
Mesotherapy is a versatile aesthetic procedure offering benefits such as:
•Cellulite reduction
•Diminished wrinkles and fine lines
•Enhanced skin radiance
•Firmer, tighter skin
•Reduced acne scarring
•Corrected hyperpigmentation
How Mesotherapy Works
Mesotherapy uses a mixture of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and pharmaceuticals, which are micro-needled into the mesoderm. This helps break down fat cells and rejuvenates the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production, leading to improved elasticity and firmness.
Key Ingredients Used
The ingredients in Mesotherapy vary based on the treatment area and desired outcomes. Common ingredients include:
•Hyaluronic Acid: Hydrates skin, boosts collagen, and fights free radicals.
•Amino Acids: Aid in fat transportation and burning.
•Vitamins & Minerals: Maintain healthy, firm skin and reduce aging signs.
•Enzymes: Such as Deoxycholate, to help break down fats.
Our skilled aestheticians at Loubelle Beauty tailor these ingredients to your specific needs and goals.
