What is hyaluronic acid mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy consists of microinjections of active ingredients, such as Hyaluronic Acid, nutrients and vitamins, just below the surface of our skin (into the superficial dermis to be precise). Hyaluronic acid mesotherapy promotes skin rejuvenation by increasing both hydration and fibroblast activation (this in turn increases the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid). When repeated over time, the appearance of wrinkles can also be reduced.^62,64,67,101
