Mesotherapy

Pharmacological Therapy

Mesotherapy is a form of alternative medicine involving intradermal or subcutaneous injections of pharmaceutical preparations, enzymes, hormones, plant extracts, vitamins, and other ingredients such as hyaluronic acid. It has no proven clinical efficacy and poor scientific backing. Mesotherapy injections are said to target adipose fat cells, allegedly inducing lipolysis and cell death among adipocytes, with the stated aim of providing the skin with nutrients, hydration, and other compounds to rejuvenate its appearance.
