Mesotherapy instead of Restylane Sub Q Dermal Fillers

Mesotherapy is a process whereby vitamins are injected beneath the surface of your skin to improve its condition. This is not as effective as Restylane Sub Q in filling in areas of the skin. However it can improve your appearance by improving the tone and condition of your skin.

Vitamin injections nourish your skin and can cause it to become more hydrated. This can make it appear tighter and more flexible giving you a much more youthful appearance.

Mesotherapy will require a course of treatments although you will be able to see the results of one treatment straight away. This will involve treatments on a monthly basis, which can cause the cost to mount up, although the cost of each treatment is a lot less than that of Restylane Sub Q, starting at £50 per session.

Chemical skin peels can make your skin appear healthier and younger; however they can not be used to replace lost fat or water in your skin.

However they can produce longer- lasting results that improve the overall appearance of your skin rather than focusing on one specific treatment area.
