Mesotherapy in Bursa
What is mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is an application method based on delivering small amounts of substances into the middle layer of the skin (mesoderm) with very fine needles. The mixtures used vary by product; vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and hyaluronic acid are the most commonly used components. The application can be done by hand or with a mesotherapy gun.
The scientific evidence on the effectiveness of mesotherapy differs depending on the product used and the area of application; in some areas it is limited. For this reason, expectations are discussed realistically at the examination.
Facial (skin) mesotherapy
Facial mesotherapy is applied to support skin quality in cases of dry skin, dullness, fine lines and irregularities in skin texture. The face, neck, décolleté and backs of the hands are the most commonly treated areas. It is not sufficient on its own for deep lines or volume loss; in these cases, different methods such as dermal fillers or Botox are considered.
Hair mesotherapy
Hair mesotherapy is the delivery into the scalp of mixtures aimed at supporting the hair follicles. The cause of hair loss varies from person to person: iron deficiency, thyroid diseases, hormonal causes (e.g., polycystic ovary syndrome), the postpartum period, stress or genetic predisposition. For this reason, a history is taken before the application, the necessary blood tests are requested, and treatment aimed at the cause of the hair loss takes priority. Where necessary, referral to a dermatologist is made. Hair mesotherapy is not effective in areas that have become completely bald and where the follicles have been lost.
Who is it not suitable for?
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding,
- Active infection, eczema or an open wound at the treatment site,
- Known allergy to the substances in the mixture,
- People with a bleeding disorder and those taking blood thinners (a physician's evaluation is required),
- Uncontrolled diabetes, active cancer treatment, or treatment that suppresses the immune system.
How is it performed?
The treatment area is cleaned; if needed, a numbing cream is applied 20–30 minutes beforehand. Superficial, closely spaced injections are made with very fine needles. A session takes about 20–30 minutes on the face and 15–20 minutes on the scalp. Usually, a plan of 3–6 sessions at 2–4 week intervals is made; afterwards, if needed, sessions continue at longer intervals.
When does the effect begin, and how long does it last?
On the face, the change in skin hydration usually begins to be noticed after the first sessions; a marked change is evaluated once the session program is complete. The effect is temporary and lasts a few months depending on the person. In hair mesotherapy, the change in hair loss can usually be evaluated in 2–3 months, and the change in hair density in 3–6 months. The response differs markedly from person to person.
Possible side effects
Redness, small bumps, mild swelling and bruising at the needle points are common; they usually resolve within 1–3 days. Less commonly, an allergic reaction, infection, scarring or a change in skin color may occur. Serious skin infections have been reported with applications carried out in unsuitable settings and with non-sterile products; for this reason, the application should be performed only by a physician, under sterile conditions and with licensed products.
Points to note after the application
- Do not wear makeup for the first 12 hours; do not wash your hair on the same day after hair mesotherapy.
- Avoid saunas, Turkish baths, swimming pools and intense exercise for 24 hours.
- Avoid direct sun exposure for a few days, and use sunscreen.
- If redness or swelling increases, or if fever or discharge occurs, call the practice.

Frequently asked questions
What is mesotherapy, and what is it used for?
Mesotherapy is the delivery of substances such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids or hyaluronic acid into the middle layer of the skin with very fine needles. It is applied to support skin hydration and vitality on the face, and to support the hair follicles on the scalp. Its effectiveness varies by product and area of application; expectations are discussed at the examination.
How many sessions of mesotherapy are needed?
Usually, a plan of 3–6 sessions at 2–4 week intervals is made; the number is determined according to the complaint, the area and the person's response. After the program is complete, sessions continue at longer intervals if needed. The plan is drawn up together at the first examination.
Does hair mesotherapy halt hair loss?
Hair mesotherapy is intended to support the hair follicles; on its own, it does not halt every type of hair loss. The cause of the hair loss is investigated first: in conditions such as iron deficiency, thyroid problems, hormonal causes and the postpartum period, the main treatment is directed at that cause. It is not effective in areas where the follicles have been lost.
Does mesotherapy hurt?
Very fine needles are used; the needle pricks may cause a brief stinging or pricking sensation. Sensitivity varies by area and by person. If needed, a numbing cream is applied before the procedure, and cold can be applied during it.
Does mesotherapy leave marks?
Redness, small bumps and bruising may occur at the needle points; these usually resolve within 1–3 days. Scarring is uncommon. It is recommended not to wear makeup for the first 12 hours and to protect the skin from the sun for a few days; if there are signs of infection, the practice should be called.
Can mesotherapy be done during pregnancy?
No. Mesotherapy is not applied during pregnancy and breastfeeding; the safety of the substances in the mixtures has not been sufficiently studied during this period. Whether it is suitable is re-evaluated after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Postpartum hair loss often resolves on its own.
What is the fee for mesotherapy?
The fee depends on the area to be treated, the amount of product to be used and the plan determined at the examination. For this reason, no figures are given on the website; the fee is determined after the examination. For information, you can call 0 (539) 463 09 72 or send a message on WhatsApp.
