Part of our protocol Brightening Glow
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment method, established for decades, in which individually selected active ingredients are delivered directly into the middle layer of the skin using very fine needles. The ingredients include hyaluronic acid, vitamins and amino acids. The precise microinjections, meaning very small injections, allow targeted treatment with little stress on the skin.
The treatment can be considered for selected skin and scalp concerns. It is used to improve skin quality, for the first signs of ageing, for areas that would benefit from more firmness and to support hair growth. During the consultation, we clarify which areas and which ingredient combination suit you.
Treatment Areas
Mesotherapy is suitable for the face, body and scalp, each with its own choice of active ingredients.
Face
On the face, mesotherapy can improve skin texture, hydration and elasticity. It may be considered for early signs of skin ageing, dry or dull skin and uneven texture.
Eye Area
Around the eyes, mesotherapy is used for fine lines. The active ingredients and injection technique are adapted to the delicate skin in this area.
Neck and Décolleté
On the neck and décolleté, the treatment can support skin quality and help improve hydration and suppleness. Depending on your goals, it may also be considered here for sun-damaged skin.
Body Areas
On the abdomen, upper arms and thighs, mesotherapy can support areas of skin that need additional firmness and regeneration. It is also used there for cellulite, if this is the treatment goal.
Scalp
On the scalp, mesotherapy can be used as a complementary treatment that supplies chosen ingredients and supports hair growth. The appropriate approach depends on the cause of hair loss and your starting point.
How does mesotherapy work?
In mesotherapy, the ingredients are delivered into the middle layer of the skin through microinjections. These reach a depth of up to 0.5 mm, varying with the injection technique and the treatment area. This allows the ingredients to reach precisely where they are intended to act.
Hyaluronic acid, vitamins and amino acids are among the ingredients that may be used, according to the treatment. The formulation is adapted to your skin and treatment goals. A key component of our mesotherapy is NCTF® 135 HA, a complex of 59 revitalising ingredients and hyaluronic acid.
Mesotherapy can support skin quality, hydration and regeneration and contribute to collagen production. The treatment can be carried out all year round, with appropriate sun protection in summer. It can also be combined with selected aesthetic treatments, and the appropriate combination and sequence are assessed case by case.

Why mesotherapy at Aesthetics Medical?
Tailored Ingredients
We select the ingredient combination according to your skin condition and goals and prepare it for each session.
Technique Suited to the Area
We adapt the injection depth and technique to the area being treated and the desired effect, including the delicate eye area and the scalp.
Versatile Use
The same method covers the face, neck, décolleté, body areas and scalp. For each area, suitable ingredients are chosen.
Short Recovery
A longer recovery period is not usually needed, and you can generally return to social activities straight after the treatment.
Clear Information
Before treatment, we talk you through the product and technique, the available evidence, your suitability, recovery and possible risks.
What does the treatment involve?
Consultation
We begin by assessing the condition of your skin and discussing your wishes and goals. Together, we select a suitable combination of active ingredients, agree on your treatment plan and explain what results are realistic. Please let us know if you are taking any medication or have a skin condition.
Preparation
The skin is thoroughly cleansed and disinfected. If needed, a numbing cream is applied to make the treatment more comfortable.
Ingredient Mix
The chosen ingredients are combined in line with the skin analysis and the goals agreed, then prepared for injection.
Microinjections
Very fine needles are used to deliver the ingredients precisely where they are needed. Depth and technique depend on the area and the intended effect, and a session takes 30–45 minutes.
Aftercare
A soothing, hydrating product may then be applied. Mild redness or small areas of swelling may occur temporarily, and you receive recommendations for caring for your skin over the following days.
Further Sessions
A course usually comprises 3–6 sessions, often every 2–4 weeks. For the scalp, 5–8 sessions every 2 weeks are often planned.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the treatment work and how long does it take?
After the skin has been cleansed and disinfected, with numbing cream if needed, the prepared ingredients are injected. A soothing skincare product may be applied at the end. A session takes 30–45 minutes.
Is the treatment painful, and is anaesthesia used?
Any pain during mesotherapy is usually minimal. A slight stinging or burning sensation may occur during the injections. If needed, we apply a numbing cream beforehand, and we clarify before your appointment whether this makes sense for you.
What risks and side effects are possible?
Mesotherapy is generally well tolerated. Temporary redness, minor swelling or bruising are possible and usually subside within a few days. Serious complications are rare, and we discuss possible risks and your tolerability in detail before treatment.
What should I consider before the treatment?
The preliminary consultation covers your skin, your goals and a suitable combination of ingredients. Please tell us about any medication or skin condition so we can give you suitable preparation advice. Any further details are covered with you during the consultation.
What should I consider after the treatment?
For the first 24 hours, avoid intense exercise and saunas and treat your skin especially gently. Avoid intense sun exposure and sunbeds, and use SPF 50+ sun protection every day. Additional recommendations may apply depending on the area treated and the ingredients used.
How long does recovery take after the treatment?
Mesotherapy usually involves only a short recovery time. Mild redness, small areas of swelling or bruising may remain visible for a few days before fading. For the first 24 hours, the advice on exercise, saunas and sun exposure applies.

When do results become visible?
Depending on the ingredients and treatment goals, initial changes may be visible after the first treatment. The skin may then look fresher, smoother and better hydrated. With a course of treatment, the effect builds over several sessions.
How long do the results last?
The effect of a course of treatment usually lasts around 3–6 months. The exact duration depends on your skin condition, the area treated and the ingredients used. Maintenance treatments can help to sustain the effect afterwards, and we agree on a suitable schedule with you.
How many sessions are usually needed?
The number of sessions depends on the combination of ingredients, the area treated and your skin condition. A course of 3–6 treatments is often recommended, 2–4 weeks apart. For the scalp, 5–8 treatments at 2-week intervals are often planned.
Who is the treatment suitable for?
Mesotherapy may be considered for various skin and hair concerns, including early signs of skin ageing, dry or dull skin, uneven texture, sun-damaged skin or cellulite. For hair loss, it can be used as a complementary treatment to support hair growth, and the approach is guided by the cause. We assess your suitability beforehand in a personal consultation.
How much does the treatment cost?
The cost depends on the area. The eye area costs CHF 200, the face, neck, décolleté, abdomen or upper arms CHF 300 each, and the thighs CHF 400. Neck and décolleté together cost CHF 500, a single scalp treatment costs CHF 250 and a package of five scalp treatments CHF 1’000. Aesthetic treatments are usually paid for privately.
