Cream remains on the surface of the epidermis, with only a fraction of its ingredients penetrating deeper. This needle-free form of mesotherapy helps bypass this barrier: the device temporarily loosens the connections between cells, allowing hyaluronic acid, vitamins and peptides to reach the layers where they can work. No needle is required, so there are no injection marks on the face after the appointment.
Skin cleansed immediately before the treatment absorbs the cocktail more readily, which is why ultrasonic facial cleansing is often performed during the same appointment as a preparation stage.
Mesotherapy for the Face — What Does the Treatment Involve?
The device helps deliver the cocktail through the epidermis using electroporation current or ultrasonic waves — the cosmetologist selects the appropriate technology. You may feel a slight tingling sensation and the coolness of the applicator, and sometimes a metallic taste in your mouth when electrical current is used.
Another aspect decided during the appointment is the treatment area: the face alone, or the face together with the neck, décolletage and hands — areas where the skin tends to lose firmness most quickly. The full treatment finishes with a skincare mask to help maintain hydration.
Who Is Mesotherapy Suitable For?
The main indications for the treatment are dehydrated skin and loss of firmness. In practice, this may include:
- Working in air-conditioned environments or frequent flights that regularly dry out your skin
- Your complexion has lost its even tone after summer and pigmentation has become more noticeable
- The skin on your neck and décolletage looks older than the skin on your face
- Needles are out of the question, but you still want deeper skin hydration
- You have a wedding or photoshoot coming up and cannot afford to have bruising
- Your moisturiser only seems to work for a couple of hours
For deeper wrinkles and noticeable loss of volume, the cosmetologist may recommend biorevitalisation, where the product is delivered beneath the skin.
Mesotherapy Results and When They Become Visible
- Immediately after the treatment: the skin feels firmer and cool, and the complexion looks brighter
- After a few days: the skin retains hydration for longer and makeup stops pilling
- During the course: fine lines around the eyes appear smoother and the skin tone becomes more even
- After the full course: the skin on the neck and décolletage feels firmer, with results lasting from several months to a year
Morning puffiness and a less defined facial contour are a separate concern. Facial massage can be incorporated into the plan between sessions to address them.
How Many Mesotherapy Treatments Are Needed?
A standard course consists of 5–10 sessions at intervals of 1–2 weeks. The cosmetologist determines the exact number after assessing your skin at the first appointment — a shorter course may be sufficient for dehydration alone, while loss of firmness may require the full course. HydraFacial provides deeper hydration combined with cleansing during a single appointment.
