Winter can be a tough time for your skin. The cold air, central heating, and reduced sunlight often leave your complexion looking dull, dehydrated, and lacklustre. But there’s good news: mesotherapy offers a scientifically proven way to rejuvenate your skin, delivering hydration, nutrients, and a luminous glow.
This treatment has gained popularity for its ability to restore vitality to tired skin, and it’s not just a trend—it’s rooted in solid science. Here’s everything you need to know about mesotherapy, how it works, and how it compares to other leading treatments like Light Eyes and the WOW Fusion Micro-Needling Facial.
What Is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment that involves micro-injections of a customised cocktail of vitamins, minerals, hyaluronic acid, amino acids, and antioxidants. These tiny injections deliver active ingredients directly into the mesodermal layer of the skin, bypassing the barrier that often limits the effectiveness of topical skincare.
The Science Behind It
The technique was developed in France in the 1950s by Dr. Michel Pistor and has since been backed by numerous studies for its effectiveness in treating a range of skin concerns. Research published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology highlights that mesotherapy improves skin hydration, elasticity, and overall appearance through enhanced collagen production and microcirculation.
By stimulating fibroblasts—the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin—mesotherapy not only rejuvenates the skin but also helps repair damage caused by environmental stressors and ageing.
How Does Mesotherapy Work?
Mesotherapy works on multiple levels to rejuvenate the skin:
1. Hydration
Hyaluronic acid, a key component in many mesotherapy blends, is a powerful humectant that attracts and retains moisture. This results in deep hydration, plumping the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines.
2. Cellular Repair
The micro-injections stimulate the skin’s natural repair mechanisms, promoting cell turnover and collagen production. This improves skin texture and elasticity.
3. Detoxification
By improving blood flow and lymphatic drainage, mesotherapy helps to flush out toxins, leaving the skin brighter and healthier.
Benefits of Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy offers a range of benefits, making it an excellent choice for those looking to enhance their skin naturally:
1. Revives Dull Skin
Winter often leaves skin looking dull and tired. Mesotherapy delivers an instant boost of vitality, restoring a natural glow.
2. Reduces Fine Lines
The treatment stimulates collagen production, which helps smooth out superficial wrinkles and fine lines.
3. Deeply Hydrates
The hyaluronic acid in mesotherapy provides long-lasting hydration, making it particularly effective for combating winter dryness.
4. Targets Dark Circles and Puffiness
When combined with targeted treatments like Light Eyes, mesotherapy can rejuvenate the delicate under-eye area, reducing puffiness and dark circles.
5. Improves Skin Texture and Tone
The cocktail of nutrients in mesotherapy boosts cell turnover, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin.
What to Expect During a Mesotherapy Session
A typical session takes about 45–60 minutes and involves:
- Consultation: Your aesthetician will assess your skin and discuss your goals to create a tailored treatment plan.
- Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and a numbing cream may be applied to minimise discomfort.
- Injection: A series of superfine injections deliver the nutrient-rich solution into the skin.
- Aftercare: Your practitioner will provide guidance on how to care for your skin post-treatment.
You may experience mild redness or swelling, but these effects usually subside within 24–48 hours.
Mesotherapy Treatments and Alternatives

Who Is Mesotherapy For?
Mesotherapy is suitable for anyone looking to:
- Combat dryness or dullness.
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
- Brighten under-eye circles.
- Improve overall skin quality.
Whether you’re in your 20s and seeking preventative care or in your 40s and beyond looking for rejuvenation, mesotherapy offers a natural, effective solution.
How to Maintain Your Results
Mesotherapy provides long-lasting benefits, but maintaining those results requires ongoing care:
1. Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water to support skin hydration and health.
2. Use Sun Protection
Even in winter, UV exposure can damage your skin. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily.
3. Invest in a Skincare Routine
Incorporate products with hyaluronic acid and antioxidants to complement your treatment.
4. Schedule Maintenance Treatments
For prolonged results, consider regular touch-up sessions every 3–6 months.
