What is mesotherapy?

01 May 2025 | Treatments

We get it. The world of advanced skincare can sometimes feel like a secret language, filled with terms that sound impressive but leave you scratching your head. Mesotherapy is one of those treatments that often sparks curiosity, but the lack of clear understanding can leave many hesitant to give it a try.

At Jesmond Beauty, we believe in empowering you with knowledge, so you can confidently choose the treatments that will help you achieve your skin goals.

So, what is mesotherapy? And why are we so excited to offer our unique, enhanced version of this fantastic treatment? Let’s dive in and unveil the secrets to radiant, rejuvenated skin.  

What is mesotherapy? Unpacking the science and benefits

At its core, mesotherapy is a non-invasive technique designed to deliver targeted skincare ingredients directly into the deeper layers of your skin, where they can be most effective. Think of it as giving your skin a super-charged cocktail of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other beneficial substances, right where they’re needed most.

Traditionally, mesotherapy involves a series of micro-injections to introduce these potent ingredients. However, at Jesmond Beauty, we’ve taken this concept to the next level by integrating cutting-edge technology to enhance the delivery and overall benefits.

How does mesotherapy work?

Our advanced mesotherapy or ‘SmartMeso’ treatment goes beyond simple injections. We combine the power of three distinct technologies to create a truly transformative experience:

1. Radio frequency (RF)

This initial stage involves gently heating the skin to a precise temperature of around 40 degrees Celsius. The controlled heat causes the existing collagen fibres in your skin to contract, leading to a noticeable immediate tightening effect.

This thermal energy also encourages your skin’s collagen production, ultimately improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

2. DMA (Dynamic Muscle Activation)

DMA is a remarkable technology that works by delivering gentle electrical impulses to the muscles in your jawline. Think of it as a targeted workout session specifically for those muscles that tend to lose tone and definition as we age, leading to the dreaded ‘jowls.’

By stimulating and toning these muscles, DMA helps to lift and firm the lower face, restoring a more youthful and sculpted appearance.

3. Electroporation

This is where the traditional concept of mesotherapy meets advanced technology. Electroporation uses a mild electrical current to temporarily create tiny, transient channels in the skin’s surface. These channels act as pathways, allowing the potent mesotherapy ampoules to penetrate deeply into the cells.

This ensures maximum absorption and efficacy of the chosen ingredients, delivering them exactly where your skin needs them most.

What mesotherapy ampoules are available?  

We understand that every skin is unique, with its own set of concerns and needs. That’s why we offer four distinct, high-performance mesotherapy ampoules, allowing us to tailor your treatment for optimal results:

Vitamin C

This powerhouse antioxidant brightens the complexion, evens out skin tone and boosts collagen production. Ideal for dull, uneven skin and those looking for a radiance boost.

Hyaluronic acid

A hydration hero, hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture in the skin, plumping it up, reducing the appearance of fine lines, and leaving it feeling supple and dewy. Perfect for dry, dehydrated and mature skin.

Anti-ageing stem cell treatment

Our ultimate weapon against the signs of ageing. This advanced ampoule harnesses the power of stem cell technology to promote skin regeneration, improve elasticity, reduce wrinkles and restore a youthful glow. Suitable for mature skin showing signs of ageing.

Hyaluronic acid and vitamin C

This hydrating facial treatment combines hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to deeply moisturise, reduce wrinkles, boost collagen and elastin, improve skin tone and texture, and includes a mini Lipofirm treatment for facial toning. This results in a firmer, softer, brighter, and younger-looking complexion.

Who is mesotherapy suitable for? 

The beauty of our SmartMeso treatments lies in their versatility, making them suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns.

Whether you’re looking to address the early signs of ageing or target more specific issues, mesotherapy can be a fantastic option. It is effectively used for:

• Skin rejuvenation: Revitalising dull and tired-looking skin to restore a healthy, radiant glow.
• Anti-ageing: Combatting the visible signs of ageing, helping to maintain a more youthful appearance.
• Wrinkle reduction: Smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles for a more refined complexion.
• Brightening & toning the skin: Enhancing skin luminosity and improving overall skin tone and texture.
• Deep hydration: Replenishing moisture levels in dry and dehydrated skin, leaving it feeling supple and plump.
• Pigmentation: Addressing uneven skin tone and reducing the appearance of pigmentation issues.
• Collagen stimulation: Encouraging the skin’s natural collagen production for improved elasticity and firmness.
• Lifting and tightening: Providing a non-surgical approach to lifting and firming the skin, particularly beneficial for areas showing laxity.
• Eye area concerns: Effectively used around the eyes to lift and tighten the delicate skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in this area.
• Reducing large pores: Helping to minimise the appearance of enlarged pores for a smoother skin surface.
• Active acne: In some cases, specific mesotherapy ingredients can help to improve the appearance of active acne.

During your consultation, our experienced practitioners will assess your individual skin concerns and determine the most suitable SmartMeso treatment and ampoule to help you achieve your desired results.

How many treatments are needed?

We typically recommend a course of 6 mesotherapy treatments, ideally taken once a week to build a strong foundation and achieve significant results. Following this initial course, monthly maintenance treatments are advised for optimum and long-lasting benefits, helping to sustain the improvements and continue to support your skin’s health.

Not sure if mesotherapy is the right choice for you, or which of our ampoules would be most beneficial? Why not book an Elite facial consultation? This session includes a mini facial tailored to your skin, allowing our experts to assess your needs and recommend the best treatment plan to help you reach your skincare goals.

Does mesotherapy hurt?

One of the significant advantages of our advanced mesotherapy is that it is a non-invasive procedure. You may experience a mild warming sensation during the radio frequency stage and a gentle tingling or muscle twitching sensation during the DMA.

The electroporation itself is generally very well-tolerated. Overall, discomfort is minimal, and most clients find the treatment very comfortable.

Is downtime needed?

Say goodbye to lengthy recovery periods. Our mesotherapy treatment requires absolutely no downtime. You can resume your normal activities immediately after your session. You might experience some slight redness or tightness in the skin, which typically subsides within a few hours.

We do advise that you avoid washing your face for 6 hours post-treatment to allow the potent ingredients to fully absorb and work their magic. After this short period, you can continue with your regular skincare routine.

Types of mesotherapy available at Jesmond Beauty

We offer a range of specialised SmartMeso treatments, each meticulously formulated to target specific skin concerns and deliver exceptional results.

Each of our treatments also includes a complementary mini Lipofirm treatment to further enhance the toning and lifting effects, particularly on the lower part of the face.

Hyaluronic acid rejuvenating treatment

This treatment is a potent solution for revitalising aged and dehydrated skin. Featuring a high concentration of 1% hyaluronic acid, double that found in many other mesotherapy solutions, it effectively binds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, providing intense re-hydration and plumping the dermis from within.

The inclusion of recombinant growth factors further enhances collagen rebuilding, while Retinal, Ascorbic Acids, and Glutathione act as powerful antioxidants and direct stimulators of collagen remodelling.

This treatment is ideal for mature and dry skin types, working to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by promoting new skin cell generation, strengthening skin elasticity through collagen synthesis, and helping the skin maintain its optimal moisture balance.

Skin rejuvenating treatment

This powerful treatment makes use of a bio stimulating product rich in 57 active ingredients, including biomimetic peptides, multiple vitamins, and amino acids.

It is specifically designed to improve ageing skin, reduce the appearance of open pores, and effectively reduce and prevent the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.

The blend of ingredients works synergistically to rejuvenate the skin, leaving it smoother, more youthful, and revitalised.

Eye treatment

This treatment is specifically formulated for the eye area and forehead, working to tighten and firm the skin in these often-neglected areas. It stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation, aiding in drainage to significantly reduce puffiness and dark circles.

The targeted treatment helps to restore a more refreshed and youthful appearance to the eyes.

Hyaluronic acid and vitamin C

This powerful, rejuvenating and hydrating facial combines the benefits of high-concentration hyaluronic acid with the potent antioxidant properties of Vitamin C.

The hyaluronic acid provides deep rehydration, promoting collagen and elastin synthesis for enhanced skin elasticity, and maintaining an optimal moisture balance for dry skin.

Vitamin C further stimulates collagen and elastin production, brightens and evens out skin tone and texture, and can improve the appearance of acne, revealing a firmer, softer, smoother, brighter and younger-looking complexion.

Stem cell mesotherapy

This advanced treatment harnesses the power of stem cell technology to effectively reduce and prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating the generation of new skin cells.   

Similar to the hyaluronic acid and vitamin c treatment, it strengthens skin elasticity by boosting collagen and elastin production, deeply hydrates dry skin, and helps it to maintain its optimum moisture balance. This therapy offers a cutting-edge approach to anti-ageing. 

Smooth, lift and glow

While not solely a mesotherapy treatment, this luxurious facial experience incorporates the benefits of SmartMeso hyaluronic boost for deep hydration alongside other powerful techniques. It begins with a relaxing back massage, followed by a double cleanse and a glycolic peel for radiant skin.  

Our Lipofirm treatment lifts and tightens, and LED light therapy enhances your glow, while a soothing hand and arm massage completes this treatment designed to smooth, lift, and illuminate your complexion.
