03 · Technology

Needle Concept U225 — a French-made mesotherapy injector that places each micro-dose at a consistent depth, quickly and comfortably.
What the device changes
High-frequency needle penetration — up to hundreds of injections per minute — keeps each micro-injection quick, even and barely noticeable.
Injection depth is dialled in from 1 to 10 mm and held, so actives land in the right layer of skin for the face, neck, décolleté or scalp.
Manual and automatic modes with adjustable frequency give an even spread of product across the treatment area, session after session, with minimal product lost on the surface.
Electro-pneumatic, CE-marked Class IIa and hand-assembled in France to ISO 13485 standards. Compatible with mesotherapy cocktails, skin boosters, polynucleotides and PRP.

05 · Results timeline
What to expect through your mesotherapy course.
Skin looks plumper and slightly flushed straight after treatment. Tiny papules or pinpoint marks at injection sites are normal and settle over the next day or two.
Redness and any marks subside. Skin starts to feel softer and fresher as the hydrating actives get to work.
This is when the glow arrives. Measurable hydration builds, and skin texture and radiance improve noticeably.
After 2-3 sessions, brightness and elasticity significantly improve. Fine lines soften.
Full course complete. Skin is deeply nourished, radiant, and visibly rejuvenated.
06 · How it compares

11 · Good to know
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment that uses micro-injections to deliver a customized cocktail of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and hyaluronic acid directly into the skin's mesoderm layer. This targeted approach bypasses the skin barrier to deliver nutrients precisely where they're needed most, providing deep hydration and rejuvenation at the cellular level.
Most clients describe mesotherapy as feeling like minor pinpricks. We use ultra-fine needles and can apply topical numbing cream if needed to ensure your comfort. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, and any mild discomfort is brief and subsides quickly after the session.
Your session begins with a consultation to assess your skin needs and customize your treatment cocktail. The actual treatment takes 30-45 minutes, during which we'll cleanse your skin and perform precise micro-injections across the treatment area. You'll experience minimal discomfort, and your skin will look plumper and fresher straight after, with the real glow building over the following weeks.
For optimal results, we typically recommend an initial course of 4-6 treatments spaced 2-3 weeks apart. This allows for progressive improvement and deep hydration. After completing your initial course, quarterly maintenance sessions help sustain your results long-term.
Side effects are minimal and temporary. You may experience slight redness for 2-4 hours post-treatment and possible tiny bruising at injection sites. Some clients notice minor swelling that resolves within 24 hours. Serious complications are extremely rare when performed by qualified practitioners.
Your skin will look plumper and fresher within a few days of treatment once any redness has settled. Measurable improvements in hydration and radiance build over 2-4 weeks as the actives work in the skin. Full results from a complete course are typically visible after 2-3 months.
For the first 24 hours, avoid makeup if possible, use only gentle skincare products, and stay well-hydrated. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before and after treatment, and protect your skin from direct sun exposure. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions to optimize your results.
Mesotherapy is ideal for anyone with dehydrated skin, fine lines, loss of radiance, uneven texture, or those seeking non-invasive rejuvenation. It's particularly beneficial for clients whose skin doesn't respond well to topical treatments alone. We'll assess your suitability during your consultation.
Unlike dermal fillers that add volume to specific areas, mesotherapy provides natural enhancement by delivering nutrients directly to skin cells. It offers gradual, subtle improvements in overall skin quality, hydration, and radiance without adding volume. The treatment is less invasive with minimal downtime.
Yes, mesotherapy works excellently alongside other treatments like microneedling, LED light therapy, and professional facials. We can create a comprehensive treatment plan that may include mesotherapy as part of your overall skin rejuvenation program. We'll advise on proper timing and sequencing during your consultation.
