Mesotherapy Treatment in Vancouver
What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy goes by many names; Micro Droplet therapy, Hydration Therapy, Volite Hydration treatment, to list a few. Here at Skin Matters, we refer to this incredible treatment as Volite® Skin Quality Treatment. This treatment uses pure hyaluronic acid (typically JUVÉDERM® Volite) to promote skin rejuvenation, hydration, and skin tightening through a series of injections into the skin's middle layer (the dermis).
Using a very fine needle, a series of shallow injections of pure hyaluronic acid is made to the middle layer of the skin.
Mesotherapy helps improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, acne and acne scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, texture issues, and scars.
- The under eyes.
- Sagging skin in the jowls, neck, and cheeks.
- Uneven skin texture (due to acne scarring, enlarged pores, fine lines)

Mesotherapy FAQs
How often should you do Mesotherapy?
At Skin Matters, we recommend 1 treatment of Volite every 6-8 months.
How long does it take to see results from Mesotherapy treatments?
Your results will show immediately after your multiple initial injections, but full visibility of your results can be seen within 6-8 weeks following the completion of your treatments.
Is Mesotherapy painful?
Pain management is a core focus of our team in preparation for your treatment. To ensure a quick and pain-free treatment, topical numbing cream will be applied in advance of the treatment. Since the injections are shallow and the needles used are so thin, expected pain will be minimal to nothing.

Do not seek out a mesotherapy treatment if you are:
- Pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Diabetic.
- Suffering from chronic illnesses like kidney disease, liver disease, cancer, or an autoimmune condition.
