Mesotherapy Invented in France by Dr. Michel Pistor in 1952, Mesotherapy is a technique done to deliver medications just below the skin surface.

Abrasive particles such as aluminum oxide crystals, sodium bicarb salts or silicone-derived particles are forcibly directed out through a hand piece and right onto the surface of the skin.
