Mesolifting / Skin Boosters

Multiple micro-injections of a customized cocktail of vitamins, hyaluronic acid, amino acids, and enzymes into the middle layer of skin (mesoderm) to rejuvenate and nourish tissue.

$1,200–$4,500 per session

Radiesse / Ellansé

Injectable collagen biostimulators containing calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres that provide immediate volume and simultaneously stimulate the body to produce its own new collagen — a dual-mechanism approach distinct from hyaluronic acid fillers.

$700–$2,500 per session

Kybella / Belkyra / ATX-101

Synthetic deoxycholic acid — a naturally occurring bile acid that aids fat digestion — is injected directly into submental (double chin) fat to permanently destroy fat cells. Each treatment session produces permanent elimination of treated fat cells.

$1,200–$3,000 per session

Profhilo / Juvelook / Lenisna

A next-generation injectable hyaluronic acid that differs fundamentally from traditional fillers: rather than adding volume, it is a pure ultra-high-molecular-weight HA that spreads through tissue to hydrate and bio-remodel the skin by stimulating production of collagen, elastin and adipocytes.

$700–$1,800 per session

Hair Mesotherapy / Cellular Hair Recovery / Scalp Boosters

Micro-injections of a customised cocktail of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, growth factors, and peptides directly into the scalp mesoderm to stimulate hair follicle activity, improve scalp circulation, and promote hair regrowth in conditions of hair thinning and loss.

Stem Cell Therapy / Regenerative Medicine / SVF Injection

A regenerative medicine approach where a patient's own fat tissue (adipose) is harvested via mini-liposuction, processed to isolate the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) containing mesenchymal stem cells and growth factors, then reinjected at target sites — combining autologous (self-derived) stem cells with targeted delivery.

Morpheus8 / Thermage / Secret RF / Forma

Radiofrequency energy — either through surface applicators (monopolar/bipolar RF) or via microneedling pins (fractional RF) — heats dermal and subdermal tissue to trigger collagen remodelling, skin tightening, and fat reduction in the face and body.
