Mesotherapy

Most patients experience minimal discomfort. A topical anaesthetic can be applied prior to administration of dermal filler. The pain can be minimised through different injection techniques and the use of dermal filler with lidocaine.

Dermal fillers and Botox serve different purposes. Fillers add volume and smooth out wrinkles, while Botox relaxes muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkle. The nurse will assess and discuss the best options for your personalised desired results.
