The price for facial mesotherapy directly depends on the condition, type of skin and its individual characteristics. Based on these indicators, the cosmetologist selects the optimal drug and technique (injection, non-injection), calculates the duration of the rejuvenation course and prescribes the required number of sessions.
What is facial mesotherapy
Facial mesotherapy is a non-surgical rejuvenation procedure. It consists of injecting a complex of biologically active substances into the facial skin: vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, biostimulants, medicines, etc. The composition of the meso-cocktail
is selected individually for each patient and depends on his individual characteristics and the problem that is supposed to be solved with the help of the procedure.
Valuable substances enter our body with food, but no more than 1% reaches the skin. The principle of action of mesotherapy
consists in the direct influence of specially composed active substances on problem areas, without a general effect on the body. The effect depends on the properties of the components included in the solution. They may have: antibacterial, moisturizing, anti-aging, absorbent and other qualities.
Since the drug is injected directly into the pathological focus, there is a targeted therapeutic effect of the substance on a specific area. Microdoses of the drug at the cellular level stimulate
a number of biochemical processes and solve problems that arise in the skin layers.
Price
In addition to the question “how often can mesotherapy be done,” visitors to beauty salons and hairdressing salons are interested in the cost of the popular service. The price depends on the method of administering the meso-cocktail - non-injection methods usually cost slightly more, the number of sessions and the components of the composition.
The average duration of the course, at the end of which you will feel a noticeable effect, is 7-10 sessions, the cost of one visit to a specialist is from 3,000 to 6,000 rubles. Using simple mathematical calculations, you can determine the approximate price of a rejuvenating course.
Compositions used in mesotherapy
The choice of medications for mesotherapy depends on the age, skin type, and the patient’s sensitivity to individual ingredients. The solution may include:
- vitamins: retinol, ascorbic acid, B complex vitamins, tocopherol, flavonoids;
- minerals: phosphorus, sulfur, zinc, selenium, potassium, magnesium, etc.;
- amino acids: proline, lysine, threonine, serine, etc.;
- synthetic unstabilized hyaluronic acid;
- phospholipids;
- plant or animal extracts (gingocaffeine, collagen);
- immunostimulants;
- organic acids, etc.
For the needs of modern cosmetology, ready-made cocktails have been developed with certain balanced compositions, which are highly safe and highly effective. Among industrial preparations one can highlight the Filorga line of cocktails
, as the most optimal and effective. Depending on the age gradation, there are:
- Filorga NCTF 135 - standard, for patients under 30 years of age;
- Filorga NCTF 135HA - enriched, for patients from 30 to 40 years old;
- Filorga NCTF 135HA+ - extra enriched, for patients over 40 years old;
- Hair X is a mesopreparation for improving the condition of hair and scalp.
The compositions differ only in the concentration of hyaluronic acid: the older the age, the greater the need for this polysaccharide. The solution includes 54 components: 12 vitamins, 6 minerals, 20 amino acids, 6 coenzymes and other substances. The drugs are safe and bioavailable. Clinical effectiveness proven in practice:
- deeply moisturize the skin;
- reduce sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation;
- stimulate the regeneration of the dermis;
- block inflammation;
- inhibit degenerative processes;
- accelerate metabolism and nourish the skin.

- disruption of scarring processes.
There are a number of relative contraindications, in the presence of which it is better to refrain from the procedure:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- inflammatory processes on the face;
- diabetes;
- acute viral infections;
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- presence of neoplasms.
The decision on admission to manipulation in the presence of a particular disease is decided individually in a preliminary consultation with a cosmetologist.
Possible consequences
If all contraindications and precautions prescribed by cosmetologists are observed, complications and consequences after mesotherapy usually do not arise.
However, be prepared for a skin reaction to mechanical stress. It is usually reflected in the form of local redness and increased sensitivity of the treatment area.
If an allergic reaction to the meso-cocktail occurs, itching, peeling, irritation or even a rash may appear on the face. In this case, it is important to immediately contact a dermatologist to avoid complications.
Execution order
Facial mesotherapy does not depend on seasonality and can be performed at any time of the year. Three days before the session, blood thinners (anticoagulants, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) should not be used. Before the procedure, the doctor will conduct a conversation to identify contraindications, select an individual treatment regimen and the composition of the meso-cocktail. Depending on the treatment area, the depth and number of injections may vary.
The procedure involves a number of steps:
- Thorough cleansing and degreasing of the skin, preparation of the drug.
- The procedure is relatively painless. If the patient has a low pain threshold, topical anesthesia with lidocaine cream is performed.
- Treating the face with an antiseptic.
- Injection of the drug (subcutaneously or intradermally) into the problem area with a thin needle according to a pre-planned scheme. Injections can be carried out in one of the following ways:
- Repeated treatment with antiseptic (chlorhexidine).
- Applying a soothing mask.
• a series of targeted injections (attack method). Needle marks disappear after 1.5 - 2 hours; • injection of medication into the surface layer of the skin (papules method). Provides better interaction of the injected substance with tissue cells and provides a more prolonged effect, however, traces of the injection remain for several days.
The entire procedure takes from 20 to 30 minutes. To achieve maximum results, it is necessary to undergo a course of treatment consisting of 3 to 6 visits. Interval between sessions: 7 - 14 days. After injections, small hematomas are possible, which resolve after 2-3 days. If necessary, repeated mesotherapy can be prescribed after 6 - 12 months.
Definition of the concept and features of the skin in the eye area
Mesotherapy of the periorbital area - the area of the eyelids and around the eyes - is a method of directly introducing small doses of bioactive cocktails into the middle layer of the skin through micropunctures for its improvement and correction of age-related changes.
The thickness of the skin in the eye area is about 0.5 mm, which is 4 times thinner than in other parts of the face, and the load due to active facial expressions (squinting, laughing, blinking) is greater. As a result of the processes, early appearance of sagging and wrinkles occurs. The eyelid area is thin and sensitive, as it has virtually no bone support. A small amount of sebaceous glands and fatty tissue lead to dryness, which accelerates the development of aging. The microvascular network is located close to the surface of the skin, which contributes to their compression with increased muscle tone and the appearance of swelling.
Rehabilitation period
After the procedure, the doctor will give several recommendations for facial skin care during the rehabilitation period:
- do not wash your face or use cosmetics for 24 hours;
- within 3 days after that, you cannot perform other cosmetic skin care procedures;
- avoid sauna and swimming pool for two weeks;
- use sun protection (SPF at least 30);
- Limit exercise and avoid drinking alcohol for a week.
If after visiting a cosmetologist's office you have an allergic reaction, you must take 1 tablet of an antihistamine (Suprastin, Tavegil) and notify your doctor. In case of hematoma formation, use local heparin ointment.
Price for cocktails
The cost of high-quality meso-cocktails varies from 500 to 10,000 rubles. However, you should not focus on price when choosing a drug, since there are many other factors that are important to pay attention to.
Also keep in mind that one bottle of meso-cocktail is usually enough for 3-4 applications if you treat the entire face with it. In any case, a home procedure will cost you much less than a salon procedure, but be careful when using the device to create punctures on the skin - all movements should be smooth and slow.
Advantages and effectiveness of the technique
The first results can be noticed after one mesotherapy session. The skin becomes smoother, more hydrated, flaking goes away, and small facial wrinkles are smoothed out. Upon completion of the course of procedures:
- acne is significantly reduced or completely disappears;
- dark circles under the eyes disappear;
- the water balance of the dermis is restored;
- wrinkles are smoothed out;
- ph is normalized;
- the oval of the face is leveled;
- pores become narrower.
Mesotherapy has a number of undeniable advantages. The procedure can be used in complex therapy to enhance other anti-aging programs. It has a low degree of trauma, so the rehabilitation period is only 3 - 5 days. Manipulations are carried out on an outpatient basis, hospitalization is not required. Helps enhance natural regeneration and tissue repair. The injected drugs affect only a certain area of the face.
Summary after the session
Fractional administration of mesotherapy cocktails effectively combats a number of aesthetic defects: dehydration, elimination of stretch marks, scars, the effects of acne, hyperpigmentation. Regular care and periodic maintenance activities improve the quality of the skin; changes are visible after the first visit to the salon.
After 2-4 weeks of the course of procedures you will notice:
- smoothing the contour, smoothing out wrinkles and scars;
- fresh color, gray tint disappears;

Mesotherapy procedures are often prescribed as a preparatory stage before surgery, gas-liquid and other types of peelings, laser resurfacing, and can be performed for recovery after salon events. Mesotherapy allows not only to remove wrinkles on the face, but also effectively fights hair problems - the scalp is also often subjected to beauty injections. Mesotherapy for hair is carried out to strengthen the follicles, regenerate the structure, treat alopecia, normalize fat production, hydrolipid balance, and stimulate blood circulation in the scalp.
