Mesotherapy was coined and developed by French physician Dr Michel Pistor between 1952 and 1958. Traditionally, mesotherapy was used for pain management and blood circulation across the body. Nowadays, mesotherapy is used more for reducing fat and cellulite, and rejuvenating skin. Although not an FDA approved technique, most drugs and ingredients, such as vitamins, enzymes, hormones etc used in the mesotherapy injections, are approved for treating certain conditions. 

 

For people looking for a gentler alternative to anti-aging dermal filler treatments, mesotherapy with its concoction of healthy ingredients, is suitable to treat everything from hair loss to the physical effects of aging. Unlike dermal fillers and Botox, that are priced per mL or unit price respectively, Mesotherapy injections are priced based on number of sessions. Depending on the area of focus and doctor’s recommendation, mesotherapy costs will vary from clinic to clinic.

 

 

Factors for such a difference in mesotherapy treatment prices in Dubai are mainly:

  • Brand awareness of the clinic: treatment from a more reputable hospital will be costlier than a clinic not widely known to people. Institutions make huge investments to build a trusted brand and patients are supposed to pay a premium to consume it.
  • Location: Clinics located in Jumeirah, Downtown, or Dubai Marina need to pay higher rents, multiple times more than similarly sized facilities located in less expensive areas of Dubai. Clinics in costlier areas, in turn, will charge more for otherwise similar services accordingly.
  • Experience of the practitioner: It is quite understandable that you pay more for a service from a more experienced practitioner. In addition to that, if you get treatment from a doctor not a technician, it would cost you more. Among doctors, you will need to pay more to get the treatment from specialists such as dermatologists and plastic surgeons as they have more expertise and experience in the field than GPs. 

 

A few principles to note regarding the price of Mesotherapy in Dubai are as follows:

The price of Mesotherapy varies according to whether it is for skin rejuvenation or hair loss, the sizing of the scalp area or skin along with the number of sessions required. This all based on an assessment from the plastic surgeon or dermatologist. With the above points in mind, let’s delve a little deeper into the mesotherapy price structure in Dubai.

Here are some frequently asked questions regarding Mesotherapy in Dubai:

 

 

What is mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive, anti-aging, aesthetic treatment that targets and injects skin with a combination of enzymes, hormones, amino acids and hyaluronic acid to rejuvenate and tighten the skin. 

 

Who can perform mesotherapy injections in Dubai?

In Dubai, mesotherapy treatments are covered under the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) Health Regulation Department for the Standards for Non Surgical Cosmetic Services, and Dubai Healthcare City Authority (DHCA) for Standards for Non Surgical Cosmetic Procedures. Dermatologists, and plastic surgeons with a valid DHA/DHCA license can perform non surgical cosmetic procedures for the face without needing any further requirements.

General physicians, nurses and beauty therapists can also perform mesotherapy treatments but must first obtain specific training, Basic Life Support (BLS) certification, Continuous Medical Education (CME) hours, hands-on practical training, and completion of aesthetic cases under specialists. All of which need to be inline with the guidelines stipulated and approved by DHA and DHCA. 

There are 2 types of mesotherapy, one type that is covered specifically by plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and nurses in clinics, and the other type by beauty therapists in salons. 

Plastic surgeons, dermatologists and registered nurses (RN) in Dubai can provide Mesotherapy treatment using a topical/needless devices or derma rollers with length more than 0.5 mm.

Beauty therapists in Dubai can only provide mesotherapy treatment using a topical/needless devices or derma rollers with length less than 0.5 mm.

Mesotherapy procedures in clinics must always be performed with the availability of at least one dermatologist or plastic surgeon on the premises of the clinic. 

Outside of clinics and hospitals, beauty salons can provide mesotherpay services as mentioned above for Beauty Therapists. However, unlike clinics, mesotherapy performed by beauty therapists do not require the availability of a dermatologist, plastic surgeon or nurse on the premises of the salon. 

It is also recommended to always check the credentials of those performing the procedure through 3rd party sources like DrFive.com or the clinic's own website to ensure they have the right expertise and experience.

 

What are the benefits of mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy injections are a concentrated dose of nutrients that helps rejuvenate and brighten skin. In addition, it is used to reduce fat and cellulite. However, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons does not recommend mesotherapy for fat reduction or as a safe alternative to liposuction..   

 

Who is the right candidate for mesotherapy injection?

Anyone over the age of 18 years old, in relatively good health, is a suitable candidate for mesotherapy, unless they have an allergic reaction, pregnant or breast-feeding or have a skin infection in and around the areas that need to be treated. Usually, early to mid-thirties would be a good time to start mesotherapy treatment. It is always better to consult with either a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to get a better understanding of how, where and when to start botox injections. 

 

What do you experience during a mesotherapy procedure?

As with most injectables you will feel a mild pain around the injection site. Usually there will be some swelling and reddening of the skin. Bruising also occurs since there is a breakage of blood vessels underneath the skin. According to dermatologists, it’s best to leave the treated area untouched for 4 to 6 hours for the best results.

 

What are the potential risks with mesotherapy?

Other than the immediate discomforts such as mild pains, redness, bruising, and nausea associated with mesotherapy, the treatment is considered relatively safe. 

 

How long does mesotherapy last? 

Depending on the number of mesotherapy sessions, results may vary but should last between 3 to 6 months.  

 

What are some FDA-approved alternatives to mesotherapy for fat burning and other skin treatments?

Just like mesotherapy, there are other non-invasive, FDA-approved and dermatologist- recommended treatments such as: CoolSculpting (process of fat freezing), Kybella (injectable fat dissolver under the chin) and Sculpsure (laser fat removal).
