Overview

What is mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is a method rather than a single product. Using a very fine needle or a multi-needle injector, small amounts of active ingredients are placed in the superficial dermis, the "meso" layer that creams rarely reach. The cocktail is chosen for the problem: non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid for dehydration, vitamins and amino acids for dull or tired skin, peptides and growth-factor mimics for elasticity, and for the scalp, ingredients aimed at hair density. The technique originated in France in the 1950s and is now a routine part of skin-quality care in Seoul clinics.

Because the injections are shallow and the volumes tiny, mesotherapy is gentle. It does not change facial shape; it aims to make the skin itself look healthier, with better hydration, finer texture and a more even tone. It is frequently used as a preparation for, or maintenance between, more intensive treatments.

How mesotherapy works at Oaro

At Oaro Dermatology Clinic in Apgujeong, Seoul, mesotherapy sits inside our customizing philosophy: a 1:1 diagnosis, a tailored plan, and written aftercare after each visit. A board-certified dermatologist examines hydration, sebum, pore size and sensitivity, then formulates the mix. We often combine mesotherapy with hydration therapy for dry skin, with Aquapeel cleansing beforehand, or as a maintenance step in an Oaro Custom Brightening course. Scalp mesotherapy is available for thinning hair alongside medical options in our medical dermatology clinic. See the injectable treatments hub for how it compares with PDRN and skin boosters.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does mesotherapy hurt?

Most patients feel light pricking only. Numbing cream and a multi-needle injector keep discomfort low, and the session is short.

How is mesotherapy different from skin boosters?

Skin boosters inject a single hyaluronic-acid product; mesotherapy uses a custom cocktail of several ingredients at a shallower depth.

When will I see results?

Hydration and glow are often visible within a week, with cumulative improvement over a course of 3–5 sessions.

Can mesotherapy help hair loss?

Scalp mesotherapy may support follicle health, but it works best alongside medical treatment prescribed by a dermatologist.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Usually yes. The cocktail is adjusted to avoid irritants, and the shallow technique is gentle on reactive skin.
