View comparison →Micro-injections of active ingredients for skin rejuvenation and tissue regeneration
Definition and how it works: Mesotherapy is a medical technique involving intradermal micro-injections of customised cocktails of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, hyaluronic acid and peptides. It is applied to the face, scalp, neck and body to stimulate cellular regeneration, improve skin quality and treat hair loss. Biostimulation is an evolution that uses growth factors, polynucleotides (PDRN) and high-density hyaluronic acid to activate fibroblasts and the body's own collagen production.

Origin and history
Mesotherapy was developed in 1952 by French physician Dr. Michel Pistor, who discovered that local micro-injections of procaine relieved pain and improved circulation. In 1987 it was officially recognised by the French Academy of Medicine. Biostimulation with polynucleotides emerged in Italy in the early 2000s and has become the flagship treatment of regenerative aesthetic medicine in Europe.
1. Assessment and diagnosis Skin analysis (hydration, elasticity, blemishes) or scalp trichoscopy. Custom cocktail design.
2. Preparation Facial cleansing and topical anaesthetic cream application (lidocaine 4%). Wait 20–30 minutes.
3. Micro-injections Nappage (superficial) or point-by-point technique with 30–32G needle. Uniform product distribution across the treatment area.
4. Post-treatment Soothing cream application. Avoid direct sun and makeup for 24 hours. Possible redness and micro-papules that disappear within 24–48 hours.
5. Follow-up Next session in 15–21 days. Comparative photographic assessment. Cocktail adjusted based on response.

Polynucleotides (PDRN) derived from salmon DNA activate adenosine A2 receptors in fibroblasts, increasing type I and III collagen synthesis by 30–50% according to in vitro studies published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology. Non-cross-linked low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid stimulates CD44 receptors, activating signalling pathways that improve deep dermal hydration and cellular renewal. Clinical studies show 40% improvements in skin elasticity after 3–4 sessions.
2026 RCT: skin hydration increased significantly in all groups (mesotherapy, exfoliation, combination). Combination therapy produced the most stable and extensive sebum reduction. Mesotherapy alone increased C. acnes colonisation in T-zone.
2025 RCT (acne scars): combination air-botulinum toxin + polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) showed the greatest POSAS improvement (-12.0 points) vs PDRN alone (-9.0) or BoTA alone (-6.1). Higher patient satisfaction in combination group. Minor adverse effects.
2024 RCT (n=18, periorbital hyperpigmentation): PRP vs tranexamic acid + vitamin C mesotherapy. Similar improvement rates in both groups; higher patient satisfaction in PRP group not statistically significant.
2019 RCT (n=30 female pattern hair loss): weekly nutritional supplement mesotherapy vs daily 5% topical minoxidil for 12 weeks. NO significant difference in hair density improvement or hair loss reduction between groups.

Micro-injections are performed with 30–32G needles (very fine) and topical anaesthetic cream is applied 20–30 minutes beforehand. Most patients describe mild, tolerable discomfort. Sessions last 15–30 minutes.
Improvements in luminosity and hydration are noticeable from the first session. For optimal firmness and wrinkle results, 3–4 sessions are needed. For hair loss, visible results appear from the third session, with peak effect at 3–6 months.
Classic mesotherapy uses cocktails of vitamins and minerals. Biostimulation is an evolution that incorporates polynucleotides (PDRN), growth factors and non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid to directly stimulate cellular regeneration. Biostimulation has stronger scientific evidence for dermal rejuvenation.
