Mesotherapy for acne is a treatment method that specifically targets acne problems. 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 lessen inflammatory and retention acne lesions.
The treatment is based on superficial injections of products adapted to acne-prone skin. These injections make it possible to directly target the sebaceous glands responsible for excess sebum, to hydrate the deeper layers of the skin, and to introduce anti-inflammatory agents that reduce pimples and soothe inflammation. In addition, the stimulation of fibroblasts improves skin regeneration, which becomes brighter and more hydrated.
Acne is a common skin condition, manifested by pimples, blackheads, comedones, and inflammations, mainly on the face, back, and décolleté. It is often caused by increased sebum production, clogged pores, and hormonal imbalances. Although acne mainly affects teenagers, it can also affect adults. As part of acne treatment, mesotherapy is 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 : seborrhea and oily skin.
• Inflammatory and retention acne lesions. Acne scars are not improved.
This procedure is often performed on the face, but other areas of the body can be treated such as the back, shoulders, neck, and décolleté.
The injected preparation contains synergistic active ingredients that target several acne-related concerns :
• Zinc : regulates the activity of the sebaceous glands to limit excess sebum.
• Salicylic acid : gently exfoliates to prevent pore clogging.
• Biomimetic peptides : strengthen the skin barrier and fight inflammation.
In addition, this blend is enriched with vitamins, soothing agents, and hyaluronic acid to restore the skin’s hydrolipidic balance. The presence of retinol helps reduce scars and post-acne discoloration.
The effects of mesotherapy are both visible and long-lasting. This treatment notably allows :
• Long-term regulation of sebum production and seborrhea.
• The reduction of active acne : the injected actives help reduce pimples by regulating sebum production and soothing inflammation.
• The prevention of blackheads and the obstruction of the sebaceous glands.
• A visible improvement in the complexion, which becomes more even and radiant.
• The reduction of inflammation and the proliferation of bacteria responsible for acne.
• The achievement of a more even complexion : mesotherapy for acne improves the overall appearance of the skin, reducing redness and textural irregularities.
This treatment is gentle and does not cause social downtime.
The mechanism of action of mesotherapy is the regulation of sebum production.
The active ingredients used are specific to this dermatosis :
• Vitamin A : regulates sebum production and accelerates cellular renewal, which reduces the appearance of new acne lesions.
• Natural extracts of Gingko biloba : have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, soothe inflammation, and protect the skin against free radicals.
• Vitamin PP (niacinamide) : soothes inflammation and strengthens the skin barrier, helping reduce redness and irritation linked to acne.
• B-group vitamins (B3, B5) : promote healing, hydrate the skin, and improve the regenerative capacity of skin tissues.
• Hyaluronic acid : deeply hydrates the skin and accelerates tissue repair, for healthier and smoother skin.
These active ingredients work synergistically to treat inflammatory acne and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
The treatment of acne scars is not possible with mesotherapy.
Some doctors use brightening agents and growth inducers to fade pigmentation, but the results are disappointing.
Mesotherapy for acne must be performed with caution, especially during an acute inflammatory phase with pustules, as there is a risk of spreading germs through the skin. In this case, Dr. Romano prioritizes safety and postpones the session.
In cases of moderate to severe acne, it is often preferable to perform a few laser sessions before starting mesotherapy sessions in order to calm the inflammation.
Each session is personalized : particular attention is given to acne-prone skin, which is often fragile and sensitive.
In the acute phase, mesotherapy is particularly indicated to improve oily skin, reduce blackheads and comedones, and revive a dull complexion.
In the acute phase, mesotherapy improves skin hydration, which is often compromised by acne and drying treatments.
This treatment can be offered to both teenagers and adults, knowing that between 30 and 45 years old, nearly 50 % of women and 25 % of men still suffer from acne. In addition, due to the relative increase in androgens during menopause, acne pimples can also appear at this time, making mesotherapy suitable for menopausal women.
Often a chemical peel is performed before the mesotherapy session, as the action of these two procedures is synergistic.
Dr. Romano does not perform procedures on minors.
Mesotherapy is not recommended in the following cases :
• Skin condition in the area to be treated.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Skin cancer.
• Poorly controlled unstable diabetes.
• Autoimmune diseases.
• Coagulation disorders or excessive bleeding.
• Allergies to one of the components of the preparation.
The results begin to be visible from the first sessions, with a decrease in active acne and an improvement in the qulalité of the skin. A complete treatment may require several sessions spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart for long-lasting results.
The initial phase includes 6 sessions at 3-week intervals. During the maintenance phase, it is recommended to perform one session every 2 months.
The price of a mesotherapy session intended for acne treatment is set at 300 CHF. This price includes the entire medical procedure : the prior clinical evaluation, the selection of active ingredients according to the skin type and stage of acne, as well as the injections.
The price therefore reflects not only the technical act, but also the rigorous medical supervision and the quality of the products used, adapted to each skin type and each stage of acne.
The products used are selected with precision, and their injection requires technical expertise.
The frequency and number of sessions depend on the progression of skin manifestations, the skin type, and the response to the treatment. A personalized protocol is systematically proposed during the consultation, and the overall cost depends on the number of sessions performed, as the price of each session does not vary.
Patients who have chosen mesotherapy for acne treatment report a significant improvement in their skin condition, with fewer breakouts, smoother, more hydrated, and radiant skin.
Mesotherapy is effective for treating mild to moderate inflammatory acne and improving complexion irregularities. It helps regulate sebum production, reduce inflammation, and improve skin quality.
