Active ingredients used in
body mesotherapy
Mesotherapy injections can contain various ingredients specifically selected for their beneficial properties. The most frequently used include:
• Hyaluronic acid: a powerful hydrating agent that helps maintain skin hydration by attracting and retaining water.
• Vitamins: vitamins A, C and E play an essential role in skin cell regeneration and protection against oxidative damage.
• Minerals and trace elements: crucial for proper cellular function and skin health.
• Amino acids: necessary for collagen and elastin synthesis, essential for skin firmness and elasticity.
Areas targeted by body mesotherapy
Mesotherapy can be performed anywhere on the body according to patient needs. The most requested areas are:
• Arms: to smooth and firm skin often prone to laxity.
• The abdomen: to rehydrate and tone an area weakened by weight changes or pregnancy.
• The thighs and buttocks: to improve skin quality and achieve a smoother appearance.
• The décolletage and neck: to prevent signs of ageing and maintain soft, radiant skin.
Benefits of body mesotherapy
Body mesotherapy is increasingly popular for effectively treating various aesthetic and medical concerns. Used to firm and hydrate skin and reduce cellulite, this innovative method appeals through visible, lasting results.
Deep skin hydration
Dehydration is a major cause of dull, ageing skin.
As corrective treatment, mesotherapy helps restore hydration in chronically dry areas such as the legs, arms or abdomen. Preventively, it helps maintain hydration even under environmental stress.
Hydration is a major strength of body mesotherapy. Injections deliver hydrating agents directly into deep skin layers, with several benefits:
• Optimal product absorption: unlike creams that must cross several skin layers, injected ingredients quickly reach their target.
• Lasting effect: hydration persists far longer than after topical skincare.
• Combating dehydration: particularly beneficial for dry skin or skin exposed to external aggressors.
Increased firmness and elasticity
Skin loses firmness and elasticity with age. Mesotherapy plays a key role by:
• Stimulating collagen production: strengthening skin structure and tone. Collagen is essential for maintaining firm, toned skin.
• Restoring elasticity: skin becomes more supple and resilient, helping prevent premature ageing.
• Preventing laxity: regular treatment can delay signs of ageing.
Whether treating specific areas such as the inner arms or thighs, or preventing generalised laxity, this treatment provides visible, lasting results.
Preventive effect
Mesotherapy is also used preventively to maintain healthy skin over time. Benefits of early intervention include:
• Preserving youthful skin: starting at the first signs of ageing can prolong radiance and firmness.
• Delaying visible ageing: a preventive approach helps maintain a youthful appearance for longer.
• Personalised treatment: every patient can benefit from a tailored plan addressing their specific needs.
Improved skin quality and
softness
Skin quality can deteriorate through external aggressors such as pollution or UV exposure, as well as ageing. Mesotherapy stimulates cellular regeneration and improves skin quality.
Vitamins and antioxidants in the mesotherapy mixture stimulate collagen and elastin production, reducing skin irregularities.
Another major benefit is improved skin quality. Injected substances make skin softer and smoother, resulting in:
• Refined texture: irregularities such as small growths or enlarged pores are softened.
• Natural radiance: stimulated blood circulation makes skin more luminous.
• Greater comfort: softer skin improves overall well-being. Patients feel more comfortable in their skin.
What happens during a session of
body mesotherapy
A preliminary consultation takes place before treatment begins.
A major advantage of mesotherapy is personalisation. During this preliminary consultation, Dr Romano:
• Discusses expectations: patients explain their concerns and aesthetic goals.
• Assesses skin condition: careful examination identifies treatment areas and the most suitable products.
• Establishes a tailored treatment plan so that every patient receives treatment meeting their specific needs.
Mesotherapy is performed after skin disinfection. Treatment lasts 10 to 40 minutes depending on the extent of the targeted area.
Adjustments can be made over successive sessions according to the skin's response to optimise results.
After the session, certain recommendations should be followed:
• Avoid sun exposure, which is an aggressor for skin.
• Avoid intense physical activity: physical exertion is best avoided for at least 24 hours afterwards.
• Do not massage the treated area: massage could remove some product remaining on the skin and irritate freshly injected areas.
• Shower the following day to leave injected products on the skin for at least 12 hours.
How often should mesotherapy sessions be scheduled?
Session frequency depends on individual needs. Treatment starts with three to five sessions spaced two to three weeks apart. This provides regular stimulation for visible results and deep nourishment. Once desired effects are achieved, maintenance every three months is recommended to maintain hydration, firmness and radiance over time.
What are the results of body mesotherapy?
Body mesotherapy results are visible after a few sessions:
• Softer, hydrated skin: hydration is immediate and becomes more pronounced over time. Results become visible across sessions, increasing satisfaction.
• Increased firmness: skin becomes more toned and elastic.
• Overall improvement: skin appearance improves with each session.
Factors affecting results
Several factors may influence mesotherapy results:
• Initial skin condition: already healthy skin responds better.
• Lifestyle: a balanced diet, good hydration and healthy habits favour optimal results.
• Aftercare: following recommendations is important to optimise effects.

Patients feel more comfortable in their bodies.
How does mesotherapy improve body skin hydration and radiance?
Mesotherapy injects vitamins, minerals and hyaluronic acid directly into the dermis. This enhances deep hydration, nourishes skin, improves quality and restores radiance and luminosity.
Can mesotherapy help firm body skin?
Yes, mesotherapy stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping firm skin and improve tone, particularly on areas such as the arms, abdomen or thighs.
Is mesotherapy effective for body stretch marks or scars?
Yes, mesotherapy can soften the appearance of stretch marks and scars by stimulating cellular regeneration and improving skin quality. Several sessions are needed for visible results. However, this is an apparent result due to skin hydration: the scars and stretch marks themselves do not change.
Can body mesotherapy be combined with aesthetic treatments such as radiofrequency or ultrasound?
Yes, mesotherapy combines effectively with radiofrequency or ultrasound, optimising firming and reducing imperfections. An interval between treatments is nevertheless important to avoid irritation.
