What is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is a treatment method that involves micro-injections of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes and other pharmaceutical agents into the middle layer of the skin (mesoderm). It was first developed by French doctor Michel Pistor in 1952 and has since become a popular treatment method in aesthetic and medical fields.
