Facial mesotherapy: the advanced aesthetic treatment at Clínica Eupnea Palamós

Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive aesthetic medicine technique that applies micro-injections of active ingredients (vitamins, minerals, hyaluronic acid, amino acids) directly into the dermis. This local delivery brings active ingredients exactly where needed, with visible results and very short recovery time.

At Clínica Eupnea, Palamós, we offer personalised facial, hair and body mesotherapy protocols. This article explains how it works, indications, benefits, and what to expect from each session.

What is mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy consists of injecting small amounts of an active solution — the mesotherapy cocktail — into the dermis with very fine needles. The formula is personalised to the goal: hydration, radiance, anti-aging, hair loss, firmness or imperfection reduction.

Common components include non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid for deep hydration, vitamins (A, B, C, E) and antioxidants against oxidative stress, amino acids as collagen precursors, and minerals and peptides as bio-stimulators. The exact mixture is decided by the aesthetic physician after assessment.

Main indications

• Facial mesotherapy: rejuvenation, radiance, hydration, firmness, pigmentation, fine lines
• Hair mesotherapy: hair loss, thinning, weakening, early androgenetic alopecia
• Body mesotherapy: cellulite, firmness, sagging, redensification
• Neck and décolleté mesotherapy: rejuvenation of an exposed area

What is a mesotherapy session like?

A typical session lasts 30-45 minutes. The process:

1. Medical assessment to determine the most suitable formula
2. Cleansing and, if needed, application of anaesthetic cream 20-30 minutes before
3. Micro-injections with fine needle or mesotherapy gun (Vital Injector)
4. Post-treatment recommendations: no make-up for 12 h, avoid direct sun and pool for 48 h

Results and number of sessions

Standard protocol is 4-6 sessions 2-4 weeks apart, with maintenance every 4-6 months. Results appear progressively:

• Week 1-2: more hydrated, radiant skin
• Month 1: improved texture, lighter pigmentation
• Month 2-3: firmness, fine wrinkle reduction, fullness
