Mesotherapy — the technique of delivering active ingredients directly into the mesoderm via microinjections — continues to gain traction among UK aesthetic professionals. With an expanding range of mesoceutical products now available, understanding the formulation differences, clinical applications, and regulatory landscape is crucial for safe and effective practice.

What Are Mesoceuticals?

Mesoceuticals are sterile, injectable solutions specifically formulated for mesotherapy delivery. Unlike topical skincare, mesoceuticals bypass the stratum corneum entirely, delivering active ingredients directly to target cells in the dermis. This enables significantly higher bioavailability and faster clinical results.

The Skymedic MESO OX range represents the latest generation of mesoceuticals, formulated in an ISO 13485 certified facility with pharmaceutical-grade active ingredients.

Categories of Mesotherapy Products

1. Revitalisation Cocktails

Multi-ingredient solutions combining hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids for overall skin rejuvenation. The primary indication is dull, dehydrated, and mildly ageing skin. Typically administered in courses of 4-6 sessions at 2-week intervals.

2. PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide)

Salmon-derived DNA fragments that activate the A2A purinergic receptor, stimulating fibroblast activity and wound healing. Particularly effective for skin regeneration, scar improvement, and enhanced healing. Available in the Skymedic range as MESO OX PDRN — a key product for practitioners seeking regenerative mesotherapy solutions.

3. Peptide Cocktails

Formulations containing bioactive peptides such as GHK-Cu, acetyl hexapeptide, and growth factor peptides. Target specific concerns including collagen stimulation, muscle relaxation, and melanin regulation.

4. Depigmentation Solutions

Concentrated formulations of glutathione, tranexamic acid, and vitamin C for treating hyperpigmentation and melasma. Often used in combination with topical depigmentation protocols for enhanced results.

5. Lipolytic Solutions

Phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholic acid-based products for localised fat reduction. Requires careful patient selection and injection technique.

6. Hair Loss Solutions

Cocktails containing biotin, dexpanthenol, peptides, and growth factors for treating androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium. Can be enhanced with exosome therapy for superior regenerative signalling.

Mesotherapy Technique Overview

Three primary delivery methods are used in mesotherapy:

Point-by-Point (Nappage)

Traditional technique using a 30-32G needle at 1-2mm depth, with injections spaced 1-2cm apart. Precise control over depth and volume per injection point.

Mesotherapy Gun

Automated injection device enabling rapid, consistent delivery across larger treatment areas. Adjustable depth, speed, and volume settings.

Microneedling Infusion

Using a medical-grade derma pen with product application, allowing active ingredients to penetrate through the microchannels created. Less invasive than traditional injection, with broader product distribution.

Combination Protocols

Modern mesotherapy frequently combines injectable delivery with complementary treatments:

Mesotherapy + Exosomes — EXO OX products delivered via mesotherapy enhance regenerative signalling beyond what either treatment achieves alone

Mesotherapy + Chemical Peels — Alternating sessions: peels for surface renewal, mesotherapy for deep nourishment

Mesotherapy + LED — Post-treatment LED accelerates healing and enhances ingredient uptake

Mesotherapy + Home Care — Drug delivery serums extend in-clinic results between sessions

Regulatory Considerations in the UK

Mesotherapy regulations in the UK are evolving:

Injectable mesoceuticals may be classified as medical devices or medicinal products depending on composition and claims

Products containing PDRN or other biologically active components face stricter regulatory scrutiny

Practitioners should ensure all products carry appropriate CE/UKCA marking

Professional indemnity insurance must explicitly cover mesotherapy treatments

Training evidence may be required by insurers and local authorities

Frequently Asked Questions

What training do I need to perform mesotherapy in the UK?

While there is no single mandated qualification, reputable insurance providers require evidence of specific mesotherapy training from an accredited provider. Skymedic Academy offers CPD-accredited courses covering mesotherapy technique, product selection, and patient management.

How do mesoceuticals compare to skin boosters?

Skin boosters are typically pure cross-linked HA injected for hydration, while mesoceuticals contain a broader range of active ingredients targeting specific concerns. Many practitioners use both — skin boosters for hydration foundation, mesoceuticals for targeted treatment.

What is the minimum product inventory I need to start?

A starter range typically includes: a revitalisation cocktail, a PDRN product, a brightening solution, and a hair loss formulation. The full Skymedic mesoceutical range covers all primary indications with professional pricing available.
