Facial mesotherapy is a modern aesthetic medicine procedure in which biologically active substances are delivered into the skin via microinjections (at a depth of 0.5–13 mm). This method allows active ingredients to be delivered directly to the skin layers where they are most needed.
The injected substances create a reservoir of active components in the subcutaneous layer, which are gradually released and stimulate cellular metabolism. Compared to topical косметic products, mesotherapy injections are significantly more effective, as active substances are delivered directly into the dermis.
Mesotherapy stimulates skin cell regeneration, improves elasticity, tone, and overall appearance. The procedure helps reduce signs of fatigue, deeply hydrates the skin, and improves facial contours.
At “Veselības centrs 4” clinic in Riga, mesotherapy is performed using certified medical-grade products and an individually tailored treatment plan.
Active substances used in mesotherapy
Mesotherapy cocktails may include various biologically active components:
