Understanding meso facial
Where a standard facial acts on the surface, a meso facial delivers actives into the skin, which is why the hydration effect lasts longer and builds across sessions.
The blend is chosen by the dermatologist for your skin, and delivery is by fine micro-injection or a needle-free device depending on your preference and skin sensitivity.
It is a maintenance and skin-quality treatment. Conditions such as acne, melasma or rosacea still need their own medical management.
This may suit you if
- Dehydrated, dull skin
- Early fine lines and loss of glow
- Pre-event preparation with a week's margin
- Patients wanting more than a surface facial
