Mesotherapy : hyaluronic acid injections in Geneva
What does a mesotherapy session involve ?
Mesotherapy is performed using very fine needles, manually or with a high-precision electronic injector such as an automated device. The doctor distributes injections evenly over the target area to ensure balanced diffusion of active ingredients.
Injected substances are not predefined : the mixture is tailored according to the area, patient's age, skin condition and objectives established during consultation. It generally combines non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid to hydrate and stimulate tissues, vitamins to protect and revitalise the skin, antioxidants to limit oxidative stress and amino acids and coenzymes supporting the skin's biological processes.
The session lasts on average between fifteen and thirty minutes according to the treated surface. It involves little pain, is well tolerated and requires no social downtime, allowing an immediate return to everyday activities.
What are the benefits of mesotherapy ?
Mesotherapy improves skin quality by acting directly within the dermis without altering volume or freezing expressions. It promotes deep hydration through the tissues' ability to retain water and quickly restores radiance by stimulating microcirculation. It reduces superficial fine lines , strengthens skin density and improves tone and suppleness. By restarting fibroblast activity, it also acts as genuine prevention of skin ageing.
This technique is also useful in scalp care (hair mesotherapy), where it stimulates hair regrowth, and in treating certain body areas (body mesotherapy) such as the thighs, arms or abdomen. It then helps firm tissues and improve skin appearance by acting on microcirculation and connective tissue.
Which areas can be treated with mesotherapy ?
Mesotherapy is a versatile technique adaptable to many facial and body areas. On the face, it revives radiance, refines texture and restores a more even, luminous appearance. Around the eyes, it smooths fine lines, reduces dark circles and refreshes the eye area. The neck and décolletage, often marked by laxity and crepiness, regain tone and suppleness through targeted stimulation of collagen and elastin fibre synthesis. The backs of the hands benefit from a plumping, hydrating action that corrects a crepey appearance.
For hair, hair mesotherapy stimulates microcirculation and nourishes follicles, making it effective against diffuse or hormonal hair loss. Finally, certain body areas such as the arms, thighs or abdomen can be treated for firming or anti-cellulite purposes. By improving connective tissue quality and local circulation, mesotherapy helps smooth skin and restore a firmer, more even appearance.
Through its adaptability and targeted approach, it provides comprehensive, customisable care, both preventive and corrective, addressing a wide variety of aesthetic needs.
What is the difference between mesotherapy and other injectable treatments ?
Mesotherapy should not be confused with other injectable techniques used in aesthetic medicine.
It differs from filler injections based on cross-linkedHyaluronic acid , intended to restore volume or achieve a lifting effect.
It also differs from Botulinum toxin, which directly targets muscle contraction to smooth certain expression lines.
It also differs from Skinboosters , which are injected deeper into the dermis and contain more concentrated, denser cross-linked hyaluronic acid.
Mesotherapy acts above all as biological revitalising care. It does not alter facial structure, but stimulates natural skin functions. Its effect is gentle, gradual and harmonious : it hydrates, corrects and restores radiance and tone while preserving facial features and natural expression.
Who is mesotherapy intended for ?
Mesotherapy is intended for anyone wishing to improve or preserve skin quality naturally without surgery. It is both a preventive and corrective approach combining gentleness and effectiveness. From twenty-five to thirty, it stimulates skin regeneration mechanisms and delays the first signs of ageing.
It is particularly suited to dull, dehydrated skin or skin marked by fine lines, providing greater radiance, suppleness and vitality. For maintenance, it can be combined with other aesthetic medicine techniques, such as peels, radiofrequency or Skinboosters, to prolong and optimise their effects.
Mesotherapy also suits sensitive skin, provided it is performed by an experienced doctor. They adapt ingredient composition, injection depth and session frequency according to each patient's specific needs.
What protocol should be followed for results ?
For mesotherapy to deliver its full effects, it must form part of a structured protocol followed regularly. The initial phase generally involves several closely spaced sessions, most often between three and five, spaced two to three weeks apart. This rhythm gradually restarts skin activity and stimulates a visible biological response.
After this first phase, results become more lasting, with noticeable improvement in radiance, hydration and overall skin quality. These effects most often appear from the second or third session, then stabilise in the weeks following the initial protocol.
In the longer term, maintenance sessions once or twice a year prolong the benefits achieved. Their frequency is adapted according to age, phototype and each skin's specific needs. To optimise results, it is also essential to adopt an appropriate skincare routine, maintain a healthy lifestyle and ensure regular sun protection.
Is mesotherapy a safe treatment ?
Mesotherapy is a medical treatment that must be performed by an experienced doctor trained in the technique under strict aseptic conditions. It has few side effects but requires thorough knowledge of skin anatomy, active ingredients used and contraindications (local infections, pregnancy, coagulation disorders…).
After the session, slight redness or superficial papules may appear but disappear within a few hours. Tightness or warmth is sometimes felt, especially on thin skin.
