Mesotherapy
Personalised Skin Rejuvenation, Hydration & Regenerative Care
At Opal Skin Clinic, mesotherapy is a personalised approach to skin rejuvenation designed to deliver carefully selected ingredients into the skin to support hydration, skin quality and a healthier-looking complexion.
Mesotherapy can be tailored to different skin concerns and may incorporate formulations containing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and other skin-supporting compounds, depending on the treatment selected.
Our approach is focused on natural-looking improvement rather than dramatic change. The aim is to support your skin, improve its overall appearance and help restore a fresher, more hydrated and radiant look.

What Is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy involves delivering small amounts of a selected treatment formulation into the skin using a series of precise, superficial injections.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, mesotherapy is generally focused on skin quality rather than adding volume or changing facial structure.
The treatment can be adapted according to:
- Your skin type
- Skin condition
- Age-related changes
- Hydration levels
- Texture and tone
- Areas being treated
- Your individual treatment goals
Because there are many different mesotherapy formulations and techniques, your treatment will be selected following a consultation rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
What Can Mesotherapy Help With?
Mesotherapy may be considered for patients concerned with:
Dehydrated Skin
Helps support a more hydrated, supple and comfortable-looking complexion.
Dull or Tired-Looking Skin
Can be used as part of a rejuvenation programme to support a brighter, fresher appearance.
Fine Lines
By improving hydration and overall skin quality, mesotherapy may help soften the appearance of fine lines.
Uneven Texture
Treatment may support smoother and more refined-looking skin.
Loss of Elasticity
Selected formulations may be used as part of a treatment plan aimed at improving the appearance of skin firmness and elasticity.
Skin Radiance
Mesotherapy can be used to support a healthier-looking glow and improve the overall appearance of the complexion.
Mesotherapy Treatment Areas
Depending on the formulation and technique, mesotherapy may be considered for:
- Face
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Hands
- Under-eye area, where appropriate
- Selected areas of the body
Not every formulation is suitable for every treatment area. Your clinician will assess the area and recommend an appropriate approach.
What Can Be Used in Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is not a single product. Different formulations are designed for different purposes.
Depending on your individual treatment plan, products may contain ingredients such as:
Hyaluronic Acid
Used to support skin hydration and improve the appearance of dry or dehydrated skin.
Vitamins & Antioxidants
Selected formulations may contain vitamins and antioxidants intended to support skin quality and protect against oxidative stress.
Amino Acids
Amino acids are naturally occurring components involved in numerous processes within the skin and may be included in some mesotherapy formulations.
Skin-Boosting Formulations
Certain medical aesthetic products are specifically formulated to improve hydration, texture and overall skin quality.
Regenerative Treatments
Mesotherapy may also form part of a broader regenerative treatment plan alongside treatments such as PRF, polynucleotides or skin boosters, where clinically appropriate.
The specific product used will always depend on your skin, treatment goals and clinical assessment.
Mesotherapy vs Skin Boosters
Mesotherapy and skin boosters can overlap, but they are not necessarily the same treatment.
Mesotherapy generally describes a technique of delivering small amounts of a selected formulation into the skin.
Skin boosters usually refer to specific injectable products designed primarily to improve hydration and skin quality.
Some skin booster treatments can therefore be delivered using techniques that resemble mesotherapy.
At Opal Skin Clinic, we focus on choosing the right treatment for your skin, rather than choosing a treatment simply because it is popular. Read about skin boosters.
The Mesotherapy Treatment Process
-
Consultation
Your treatment begins with a detailed consultation.
We discuss your concerns, medical history, medications, previous aesthetic treatments and desired outcome.
Your skin is assessed to determine whether mesotherapy is appropriate and which formulation or approach may be most suitable.
-
Treatment Planning
A personalised treatment plan is created based on:
- Your skin condition
- Treatment area
- Desired outcome
- Product suitability
- Previous treatments
- Individual medical considerations
We will explain the treatment, expected results, limitations and potential risks before proceeding.
-
Skin Preparation
The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed and prepared using an appropriate antiseptic technique.
Depending on the treatment and your individual needs, measures may be used to improve comfort.
-
Mesotherapy Treatment
A series of very small injections is used to introduce the selected formulation into the appropriate layer of the skin.
The exact depth, technique and number of injection points depend on the product and area being treated.
-
Aftercare
You will receive personalised aftercare instructions.
It is common to experience temporary redness, small raised areas, mild swelling, tenderness or bruising following treatment.
These effects generally settle over the following days, although recovery varies between individuals and treatment areas.
What Results Can I Expect?
Mesotherapy is designed to provide gradual improvements in skin quality rather than an instant transformation.
Depending on the formulation used, patients may notice improvements in:
- Hydration
- Skin smoothness
- Radiance
- Texture
- Overall skin quality
- The appearance of fine lines
Results vary according to the product, treatment protocol, skin condition and individual response.
Your clinician will discuss realistic expectations during your consultation.
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
The number of treatments required depends on your individual skin concerns and the formulation being used.
Some mesotherapy protocols involve an initial course of treatments followed by maintenance sessions.
There is no universal treatment schedule because different products have different protocols.
Your personalised treatment plan will explain:
- Number of recommended sessions
- Treatment intervals
- Expected recovery
- Maintenance requirements
Skin examples
Individual results vary and cannot be guaranteed.
Mesotherapy for Sensitive Skin
At Opal Skin Clinic, we understand that sensitive skin requires a particularly thoughtful approach.
Because mesotherapy can involve multiple injections and different active formulations, not every treatment is appropriate for sensitive or reactive skin.
We carefully consider your skin barrier, current skincare routine, previous reactions and treatment history before recommending mesotherapy.
Where appropriate, we may recommend a gentler skin-rejuvenation approach instead.
Healthy skin comes first.
Safety & Possible Side Effects
As with any injectable treatment, mesotherapy can cause temporary side effects.
These may include:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Tenderness
- Small bumps at injection sites
- Mild discomfort
- Temporary sensitivity
These effects generally resolve as the skin settles.
More significant complications are possible with injectable treatments, although uncommon. Your clinician will discuss the relevant risks and contraindications before treatment.
Mesotherapy is not suitable for everyone, and a full medical history is required before treatment.
