Treatment Overview
Mesotherapy is one of the most popular non-surgical anti-aging treatments in Korea, designed to revitalize, hydrate, and rejuvenate the skin by delivering customized nutrient cocktails directly into the dermis. Unlike topical skincare that only penetrates surface layers, mesotherapy uses micro-injections to infuse the skin with hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals, peptides, antioxidants, exosomes, or growth factors—targeting the root causes of dullness, wrinkles, and dehydration.
In Korea, mesotherapy is often referred to as a “skin booster injection” and is commonly paired with PRP, exosomes, or laser resurfacing for enhanced results. It is considered the foundation of K-beauty rejuvenation programs, widely used to achieve the glass skin effect admired worldwide.
Purpose & Benefits
- Deep Hydration: Replenishes moisture and restores elasticity.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Smooths fine lines and early aging signs.
- Skin Brightening: Improves pigmentation, dullness, and uneven tone.
- Collagen & Elastin Boost: Enhances firmness and long-term skin health.
- Pore & Scar Refinement: Improves acne scars and minimizes pores.
- Skin Glow: Creates radiant, dewy “glass skin.”
- Customizable: Serums tailored to each patient’s skin needs.
Ideal Candidates
Mesotherapy in Korea is suitable for:

Possible Risks & Complications
Mesotherapy is safe and well-tolerated, but minor side effects may occur:
- Redness & Pinpoint Marks: Temporary, fade within 24–48 hours.
- Mild Swelling or Bruising: Especially in sensitive areas, resolves quickly.
- Dryness or Flaking: As the skin renews.
- Rare Risks: Infection or allergic reaction (extremely rare in Korea’s sterile clinics).
Surgical Techniques Used
Though non-surgical, mesotherapy is performed using advanced clinical techniques for safety and precision:
- Manual Micro-Injections: Tiny, targeted injections for delicate areas (under-eye, wrinkles).
- Meso-Gun Delivery Systems: Automated devices ensuring even distribution and minimal discomfort.
- Customized Meso-Cocktails: Formulations with hyaluronic acid, vitamins, peptides, growth factors, or exosomes.
- PRP + Meso Fusion: Platelet-rich plasma combined with mesotherapy for collagen stimulation.
- Exosome-Enhanced Mesotherapy: Next-generation regenerative protocol.
- Laser-Assisted Delivery: Lasers create micro-channels to enhance meso serum penetration.
Recovery & Aftercare

- 3–5 Sessions: Recommended for full effect, spaced 2–4 weeks apart.
Aftercare Tips:
