It prevents hair loss by providing the necessary vitamins, minerals and nutrients to the scalp of people suffering from balding problems. It is performed by injecting a liquid into the scalp with the help of a syringe containing nutrients.

Facial Mesotherapy (Mesolifting)

Sun damage and collagen loss combine to disrupt the skin's plumpness and appearance. In facial mesotherapy, medications are mixed in small amounts and administered directly into and under the skin. With mesotherapy, the skin can benefit from effective substances in a short time. In addition, since the drugs are given in very small amounts, the possibility of side effects of the substances used is reduced. Facial mesotherapy (mesolifting) is a natural and beneficial method that renews the skin and is effective against skin wrinkles and skin sagging. Mesolifting is a very effective anti-aging treatment. Stimulates collagen synthesis in the skin; Provides rejuvenation, tightening and brightness. After facial mesotherapy, the skin looks fresher and more rested.

Needle-Free Mesotherapy

It is now possible to renew the skin without pain and suffering with needle-free mesotherapy, which was developed as an alternative to needle mesotherapy, which has been frequently preferred in recent years.

One of the most important features of mesopeeling is the effective mixture it contains. The method, which contains a combination of TCA (Tricarboxylic acid) and H2O2 in adjusted proportions, provides an effect on the skin by stimulating fibroblast growth factors without damaging the skin. Thus, bio-strengthening and revitalization is achieved on the skin without using needles. After the application, collagen production under the skin and its strong lifting effect continues, treating skin problems and triggering new collagen formation and providing biological stimulation in the cells.
