Mesotherapy has emerged as a revolutionary technique in aesthetic medicine, appealing to individuals seeking targeted rejuvenation for skin, hair, and lips. At Reem Hospital in Abu Dhabi, our advanced mesotherapy program is crafted to deliver safe, effective, and personalized treatments with natural and lasting results. 

What is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive cosmetic technique that involves injecting a blend of vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants, or other active ingredients directly into the dermis (the middle layer of the skin). Unlike traditional methods that treat problems from the surface down, mesotherapy works from the inside out, targeting specific areas to rejuvenate, tighten, and revitalize. It was developed in France in the 1950s, originally used for pain relief, but has since evolved into a modern favourite for aesthetic enhancements. 

How Does Mesotherapy Work?

Mesotherapy works through precision. A series of fine micro-injections delivers active compounds directly to the problem area—whether it’s the face, scalp, or lips. The treatment achieves: 

  • Improved microcirculation, boosting oxygen and nutrient flow. 
  • Cell stimulation, promoting collagen and elastin production in the skin. 
  • Fat breakdown, in cases such as localized fat dissolving mesotherapy. 
  • Hair follicle revival, encouraging thicker, stronger hair. 

The tailored cocktail each patient receives depends on their goals. For example, mesotherapy hair loss treatment may include biotin, amino acids, and peptides, while mesotherapy for the face may emphasize hyaluronic acid and antioxidants.

Benefits of Mesotherapy for Skin, Hair & Lips
Skin Benefits

  • Rejuvenation & hydration: Plumps dehydrated skin with hyaluronic acid and nutrients. 
  • Brightening & tone improvement: Reduces dullness, pigmentation, and uneven tone. 
  • Skin tightening & wrinkle reduction: Boosts collagen for firmer and more youthful skin. 

Hair Benefits 

  • Promotes hair growth: Stimulates dormant follicles with growth factors and vitamins. 
  • Reduces hair loss: Helps slow down thinning and regain healthier hair density. 
  • Improves scalp health: Combats dry, irritated scalp and strengthens hair shafts. 

Lips Benefits 

  • Natural lip enhancement: Offers light plumping with hyaluronic acid and collagen stimulators. 
  • Improved hydration and definition: Adds volume and softens fine lines. 

Across these applications, mesotherapy stands out for its ability to deliver targeted, localized results with minimal downtime, unlike systemic treatments or surgical options.

 

Who is an Ideal Candidate for Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is suitable for anyone who wants: 

  • Mild to moderate skin rejuvenation 
  • Improvement in scalp health and hair density 
  • Subtle lip enhancement 
  • Treatment for localized fat pockets 

That said, mesotherapy may not be ideal for: 

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals 
  • People with active infections or open wounds in the treatment area 
  • Anyone with known allergies to injectable components 

An in-depth consultation at Reem Hospital ensures we assess your skin history, hair condition, and aesthetic goals before recommending treatment.

Mesotherapy Procedure: What to Expect

If you’re new to mesotherapy, it’s completely natural to wonder what the experience will be like. The process is gentle, straightforward, and tailored entirely to you. Here’s a step-by-step look at what you can expect during your visit: 

  1. Personalized Consultation & Skin Analysis

Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with one of our doctors. We’ll take time to understand your skin type, scalp condition, or lip volume goals, depending on the area you want to treat. Whether you’re looking for brighter skin, stronger hair, or subtle lip enhancement, this session helps us create a customized treatment plan that aligns with your needs and expectations. 

  1. Gentle Preparation of the Treatment Area

Once your personalized plan is in place, we’ll prepare the area to be treated. Your skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities. If you’re concerned about sensitivity, a topical anesthetic cream may be applied to minimize any discomfort during the procedure. Most clients find the session very tolerable, even without numbing. 

  1. The Injection Session

This is where the magic happens. Using a series of ultra-fine, sterile needles, your doctor will deliver a cocktail of active ingredients just beneath the skin’s surface. These micro-injections are precise and quick, targeting specific layers of skin or scalp tissue to stimulate rejuvenation from within. Each session typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. 

Another option is to use mesopen or deliver treatment with dermapen.

Mesotherapy vs microneedling

Aspect  Mesotherapy  Microneedling 
Main Goal  Deep hydration, nourishment, and rejuvenation  Stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture 
How It Works  Injects active ingredients into the dermis  Creates controlled micro-injuries to trigger skin healing 
Treatment Depth  Targets the middle layer of the skin (dermis)  Focuses on the upper skin layers (epidermis and superficial dermis) 
Common Uses  Skin glow, dark circles, fine lines, hair loss, and lip hydration  Acne scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, enlarged pores, and skin laxity 
Procedure Type  Micro-injections with a fine needle  Microneedling device (pen or roller with multiple tiny needles) 
Results Timeline  Noticeable after 2–3 sessions  Gradual improvements over 3–6 sessions 
Downtime  Minimal — mild redness or swelling for 1–2 days  Slight redness, sensitivity, and peeling for 2–3 days 

Post-Mesotherapy Recovery & Aftercare Tips

Once the injections are complete, a cooling gel or soothing serum is gently applied to calm the skin and reduce any redness or sensitivity. You’ll be given simple aftercare instructions, like avoiding heavy makeup or direct sunlight for a day or two. Most people feel comfortable returning to daily activities right away, with only mild redness that fades quickly. 

After the session: 

  • Expect mild redness, slight swelling, or small pinpoint bruises—these typically resolve in 24–48 hours. 
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and strong exfoliation for 2–3 days. 
  • Keep hydrated and follow a gentle skincare routine. 
  • A short break from saunas, intense workouts, and makeup is advised for a day or two. 

Overall, downtime is minimal, making mesotherapy a convenient option even for busy professionals in Abu Dhabi seeking a refresh without interruption.
