Acne mesotherapy is an innovative treatment method specifically targeting acne-related issues. By injecting vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and anti-inflammatory agents directly into the skin, mesotherapy helps reduce inflammation, regulate sebum production, and stimulate cellular regeneration to diminish inflammatory and retention acne lesions.
The treatment involves superficial injections of specialized products for acne-prone skin. These micro-injections directly target the sebaceous glands responsible for excess sebum, hydrate the deeper layers of the skin, and introduce anti-inflammatory agents that reduce breakouts and soothe inflammation. Additionally, the stimulation of fibroblasts enhances skin regeneration, making it more radiant and hydrated.
Acne is a common skin condition characterized by pimples, blackheads, comedones, and inflammation, primarily affecting the face, back, and décolleté. It is often caused by excessive sebum production, clogged pores, and hormonal imbalances. Although acne primarily affects teenagers, it can also persist into adulthood. In treating acne, mesotherapy offers an innovative solution to improve skin quality and reduce inflammation.
This treatment is recommended for :
• Moderate to severe acne.
• Skin prone to excessive sebum production : seborrheic skin and oily skin.
• Inflammatory and retention acne lesions. Acne scars are not improved by this treatment.
This procedure is mainly performed on the face, but other areas such as the back, shoulders, neck, and décolleté can also be treated.
The injected preparation contains synergistic active ingredients that target multiple acne-related concerns :
• Zinc : regulates sebaceous gland activity to limit excess sebum.
• Salicylic acid : gently exfoliates to prevent clogged pores.
• Biomimetic peptides : strengthen the skin barrier and combat inflammation.
Additionally, this blend is enriched with vitamins, soothing agents, and hyaluronic acid to restore the skin’s hydrolipidic balance. The presence of retinol helps fade scars and post-acne discoloration, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin.
The effects of mesotherapy are both visible and long-lasting. This treatment offers multiple benefits, including :
• Long-term regulation of sebum production and seborrhea.
• Reduction of active acne : the injected active ingredients help minimize breakouts by regulating sebum production and soothing inflammation.
• Prevention of blackheads and sebaceous gland blockages.
• Visible improvement of skin tone, making it more even and radiant.
• Reduction of inflammation and bacterial proliferation responsible for acne.
• A more uniform complexion : mesotherapy for acne enhances overall skin appearance, reducing redness and textural irregularities.
This treatment is gentle and does not require social downtime.
The primary mechanism of action in mesotherapy is sebum regulation. The active ingredients used are specifically tailored to target this skin condition :
• Vitamin A : regulates sebum production and accelerates cellular renewal, reducing the formation of new acne lesions.
• Natural extracts of Ginkgo biloba : possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, calming inflammation while protecting the skin from free radicals.
• Vitamin PP (niacinamide) : soothes inflammation and strengthens the skin barrier, helping to reduce redness and irritation associated with acne.
• B-group vitamins (B3, B5) : promote healing, hydrate the skin, and enhance the skin's regenerative capacity.
• Hyaluronic acid : deeply hydrates the skin and accelerates tissue repair, leading to healthier, smoother skin.
These active ingredients work in synergy to treat inflammatory acne and improve the overall skin appearance.
Acne scars cannot be treated with mesotherapy. Some practitioners use brightening agents and growth inducers to reduce pigmentation, but the results remain disappointing.
Acne mesotherapy must be performed with caution, especially during an acute inflammatory phase with pustules, as there is a risk of spreading bacteria through the skin. In such cases, Dr. Romano prioritizes patient safety and will refuse to proceed with the session.
For moderate to severe acne, it is often advisable to undergo a few laser sessions beforehand to reduce inflammation before starting mesotherapy. Each session is personalized, with particular attention given to acne-prone skin, which is often fragile and sensitive.
In the acute phase, mesotherapy is especially beneficial for improving oily skin, reducing blackheads and comedones, and reviving a dull complexion. It also enhances skin hydration, which is often compromised by acne and drying treatments.
This treatment is suitable for both adolescents and adults. Between the ages of 30 and 45, nearly 50% of women and 25% of men still suffer from acne. Additionally, due to a relative increase in androgens during menopause, acne can also appear at this stage, making mesotherapy a relevant option for menopausal women.
A chemical peel is often performed before the mesotherapy session, as the combination of these two treatments enhances their effectiveness. However, Dr. Romano does not perform mesotherapy on minors.
Mesotherapy is not recommended in the following cases :
• Skin conditions on the area to be treated.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Cancer.
• Poorly controlled diabetes.
• Autoimmune diseases.
• Blood clotting disorders or excessive bleeding.
• Allergies to any of the ingredients used in the treatment.
The results become visible from the first sessions, with a reduction in active acne and an improvement in skin texture. A complete treatment may require multiple sessions spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart for long-lasting results.
The initial phase consists of 6 sessions at 3-week intervals. During the maintenance phase, it is recommended to have one session every 2 months.

La mésothérapie est efficace pour traiter l’acné inflammatoire légère à modérée, les cicatrices d’acné et les irrégularités du teint. Elle aide à réguler la production de sébum, réduire l’inflammation et améliorer la texture de la peau.
Oui, la mésothérapie peut être adaptée aux peaux acnéiques et sensibles, à condition d’utiliser des produits spécifiques anti-inflammatoires et apaisants. Un diagnostic préalable permet d’adapter le protocole en fonction de la sensibilité de la peau.
Oui, la mésothérapie se combine bien avec des traitements topiques (crèmes, gels) ou oraux (antibiotiques, rétinoïdes), sous supervision médicale. Cette synergie optimise les résultats en ciblant les différentes causes de l’acné.
Les effets sont visibles après quelques séances et peuvent durer plusieurs mois. Des séances d’entretien régulières sont recommandées pour prolonger les résultats et prévenir la réapparition des imperfections.
