Mesotherapy is a medical technique that delivers beneficial products directly around the relevant tissues. It is administered by intradermal injections in small doses. This injection into the dermis stimulates cellular metabolism and prepares the ground for rejuvenating the tissues. Although the sessions vary according to the person, they are organized as 3 or 4 sessions in the first month, 1 session in 15 days in the second month, 1 session in 15 days in the third month or 1 session per month.
