Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy (also known as mesotherapy) is, in the broadest sense, a complementary medical treatment method that was developed around 1960 by the French doctor Michel Pistor. In a narrower sense, mesotherapy refers to a treatment in which low-dose active ingredients such as vitamins or hyaluronic acid are injected into the middle (meso) layers of the skin to rejuvenate the skin. As mesotherapy requires a relatively large number of punctures, small bruises (haematomas) are the rule after treatment and the treatment must be repeated every few weeks. For this reason, Smoothline introduced so-called hydration therapy instead of classic mesotherapy: Here, low-viscosity hyaluronic acid specially developed for this treatment is injected directly under the skin using a gentle treatment method. In contrast to conventional mesotherapy, hydration therapy is less painful, less likely to cause bruising and needs to be repeated less often, while being more effective.
