What is Herbal Mesotherapy?

Herbal mesotherapy involves micro-doses of phytotherapy preparations (plant extracts, vitamins, minerals) injected with very fine needles (30-32 gauge) into painful or problematic subcutaneous and intradermal areas.

Unlike conventional mesotherapy, herbal-derived preparations are used instead of synthetic drugs. Arnica, silicon, artichoke and procaine-herbal combinations are commonly used solutions.

It is applied for musculoskeletal pain, cellulite, localized fat deposits, hair loss and skin rejuvenation. In Turkey, mesotherapy is regulated by the Ministry of Health.

Symptoms

Localized musculoskeletal pain
Cellulite and localized fat deposits
Androgenetic alopecia (hair loss)
