Mesotherapy involves injecting a customised cocktail of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, hyaluronic acid, and other active ingredients directly into the mesoderm (middle layer) of the skin. Originally developed in France in the 1950s, it has evolved into a popular aesthetic treatment for skin rejuvenation, hair loss, and body contouring.
Mesotherapy formulations vary widely between practitioners. Always ask what specific ingredients are being used and ensure your practitioner has appropriate training. The treatment involves multiple small injections, so bruising and swelling are common for 1–3 days post-treatment.
When choosing a practitioner for any aesthetic treatment, always verify their registration with the GMC (doctors), NMC (nurses), or GDC (dentists). For treatments requiring prescription medicines, confirm a valid prescribing arrangement is in place. Check for CQC registration if the clinic offers regulated activities, and look for Save Face accreditation as an additional quality indicator.
Never choose a practitioner based on price alone. The cheapest option is rarely the safest. Always attend an in-person consultation before committing to any treatment, and be wary of any practitioner who cannot clearly explain the risks, aftercare, and what to do in an emergency.
