Mesotherapy is a treatment that has been used in aesthetic medicine for decades, yet it is still widely misunderstood. This guide explains what it actually involves, what it can reasonably be expected to help with, and where it fits within a considered approach to skin quality.
At Regener8 Aesthetics in Selly Oak, Birmingham, mesotherapy is never offered in isolation. It is recommended only after assessment, and usually as one element of a wider, personalised plan.
What mesotherapy actually is
Mesotherapy involves a series of very small injections that deliver a tailored blend of hydrating and skin-conditioning ingredients into the upper layers of the skin. Rather than adding volume or changing the shape of the face, it aims to improve the quality of the skin itself, supporting hydration and radiance.
What it can help with
Mesotherapy is most often considered for dull, tired or dehydrated skin, and for early changes in skin quality. It is not a treatment for deep lines or significant volume loss, and being clear about that from the outset matters. Suitability is assessed individually, and outcomes vary from person to person.
- Dullness and lack of radiance
- Dehydration and rough surface texture
- Early loss of skin quality
How many sessions and what to expect
Mesotherapy is usually delivered as a short course rather than a single appointment, with the number of sessions confirmed at consultation. Because it works by supporting the skin gradually, consistency and realistic expectations are important. Any treatment is preceded by a full assessment of your skin and suitability.
Where mesotherapy fits
Mesotherapy tends to achieve most as part of a plan that also includes evidence-based homecare. At Regener8 it features within the Skin Regeneration Programme, where it may be combined with other treatments according to your assessment. There is no single fixed pathway; the right combination depends on you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does mesotherapy cost?
Mesotherapy is £120 per session at Regener8 Aesthetics. The number of sessions is confirmed at consultation. The £25 consultation fee is redeemable against treatment booked within 30 days.
Is mesotherapy the same as microneedling?
No. Mesotherapy delivers ingredients into the skin through small injections, while microneedling uses fine needles to prompt the skin's own repair response. They can complement one another, and the right choice is decided at assessment.
