FACIAL MESOTHERAPY

At Clinica Rigo, we usually prepare the skin with a local anaesthetic cream prior to a microinjection treatment, which makes the procedure extremely comfortable. 

Most patients do not require local anaesthetic prior to needle mesotherapy, however, if you find yourself particularly nervous about how it may feel, the option is available to numb the treatment area beforehand.

Each patient is different and so are the objectives, therefore, the total cost will depend on how many sessions each one requires. Contact the clinic for a detailed and personalised quote based on the objectives you wish to achieve.

It is recommended that patients have some time to recover after Mesotherapy treatment. They will experience some superficial swelling, which will dissipate within 24-48 hours. 

Although rare, other possible side effects include the appearance of some small needle marks which will also disappear within a few days. The treatment around the eye area may take longer to settle, possibly 5-7 days.

Results can last between 12 and 18 months, depending on skin type, condition and number of sessions performed.

People who should not receive the treatment are pregnant women, people with immune system problems, patients with heart murmurs/irregular heart rhythms and those taking anticoagulants, stroke sufferers and those with a history of blood clots. 

Patients with severe chronic conditions, such as cardiac dysfunction and coronary heart disease, are also not good candidates for this treatment. Insulin-dependent diabetics are also not suitable for Mesotherapy treatment.

Mesotherapy with growth factors stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen, which is the main support structure of the skin. If one can keep the skin firm and tight with collagen, then the sagging that occurs over time can be contained as firmer skin supports the soft tissues of the face and body.

This depends on what you are trying to achieve. If you’re trying to correct a skin problem, such as a deep wrinkle, you may need several treatments to achieve the kind of wrinkle smoothing you’re hoping for. That said, you can often start to notice some subtle changes a day or so after treatment.

If your skin is particularly dehydrated, you may notice a plumping almost immediately. At Clinica Rigo Aesthetic Medicine we have modern equipment for mesotherapies, with the aim of making the technique as atraumatic as possible and allowing our patients to return to their daily lives as soon as possible. 

We offer combined techniques such as the use of masks, LED light and facial massages as complements, at no additional cost.
