Mesotherapy for Face Treatments: What’s in the Injection
September 3, 2026 By Beata Durtan

TL;DR: Mesotherapy for face treatments delivers a nourishing infusion into the skin through nano-injections. At The Skin Studio, Beata uses a PDRN-based formulation. It stimulates collagen and elastin production, and it supports tissue repair and skin quality. Here’s what’s in the injection and how it works.

What Is Mesotherapy for the Face?

Mesotherapy for the face is an injectable treatment that delivers active ingredients directly into the skin. The formula bypasses the surface layer and reaches the dermis, where it can take effect.

The injections are shallow and use very fine needles. The treatment does not add volume or change the shape of the face. It supports the skin’s own repair and refreshment processes.

How Does the Treatment Work?

The nano-injections carry a nourishing infusion into the skin. This stimulates the production of dermal collagen and elastin, the two proteins responsible for keeping skin firm and bouncy.

Over a course of sessions, this steady stimulation brightens the skin and supports its natural repair process.

What’s in a Mesotherapy Injection?

At The Skin Studio, the mesotherapy formulation is built around PDRN.

What Is PDRN and Why Is It Used in Mesotherapy?

PDRN stands for Polydeoxyribonucleotide. It’s a regenerative ingredient known for its healing and repairing properties, and it works by stimulating your skin’s own regeneration processes.

PDRN is typically derived from salmon DNA, most commonly sperm DNA. It’s purified and processed for cosmetic use, and the salmon origin is standard across the regenerative aesthetics industry rather than specific to any one clinic.

Tissue Repair

PDRN promotes tissue repair at a cellular level. This supports the skin’s natural recovery process.

Collagen Production

The formulation supports collagen production directly. Collagen keeps skin firm and resilient, and levels naturally decline with age.

Improved Skin Quality

PDRN improves overall skin quality. This includes both texture and tone across the whole face.

What Does This Treatment Address?

This treatment suits skin that looks tired or dull. It also works well for uneven tone.

If your skin has lost its bounce, or you have noticed dullness that skincare has not shifted, this treatment is designed for that concern. It is not designed to contour the face or add volume.

Mesotherapy for Face vs Microneedling: What’s the Difference?

Both treatments aim to stimulate collagen production. They reach that goal through different mechanisms.

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries with a device covered in fine needles, which triggers your skin’s healing response. Mesotherapy delivers a nourishing infusion through injection, combining the mechanical stimulation of the needle with the active ingredients in the formula itself.

Beata offers both treatments at The Skin Studio. If you are not sure which one fits your skin, get in touch and she can advise you directly.

What Happens During a Session?

You will start with a skin assessment. Beata builds the treatment around what your skin needs on the day.

The injections themselves are quick, using fine needles at a shallow depth. Afterwards, your skin may look slightly flushed for a short period before settling.

How Many Sessions Do You Need?

This depends on your skin’s starting point and what you are aiming for. Beata will talk you through a plan at consultation.

Consistency matters more than any single session. Collagen and elastin production build gradually over a course of treatments.

Is It Safe?

Mesotherapy has a long history as a minimally invasive treatment. The ingredients used at The Skin Studio are chosen for their regenerative properties.

As with any injectable, it should always be carried out by someone properly trained. This is why the assessment stage matters.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, mention this before booking. The same applies if you are managing a skin condition. Beata will advise you on whether mesotherapy is the right fit for you.

Where Can You Get This Treatment in London?

Beata offers mesotherapy from her Kensington studios. If your skin has been asking for more than you can give it, book an appointment and find out what a tailored course of PDRN treatment can do for you.

Skin regenerates on its own timeline. A consultation with Beata will tell you what yours needs right now.
