What does the facial vitamin treatment consist of?

Just like our body and our organism, our skin also needs vitamins to be nourished. However, over time, due to the natural ageing of the skin and external factors such as the sun, temperature or environmental pollution, their concentration decreases. Fortunately, aesthetic medicine has treatments that include facial vitamins and are used to revitalise and provide the skin with maximum hydration and radiance without the need for surgery.

1. What exactly are facial vitamins?

In aesthetic medicine, facial vitamins are a dermal filler material that can include vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin B, vitamin B2, vitamin B12, minerals such as selenium or zinc, as well as other trace elements. Their application to the face is a way to replenish depleted vitamins and minerals, even when their absorption capacity is impaired.

Compared to conventional creams, facial vitamins as fillers have a much higher concentration of active ingredients. They are the perfect complement to maintain skin quality and improve skin texture. In addition, facial vitamin treatments can be applied to the face, neck, décolleté, periocular area and hands.

2. How are facial vitamins applied?

Facial vitamins can be applied using a medical-aesthetic technique known as mesotherapy, through microinjections into the dermis (the middle layer of the skin). Facial mesotherapy can make use of a cocktail of injectable vitamins to correct skin that shows fatigue, stress, lack of vitality and radiance as a result of dehydration and photoaging.

3. How do vitamins work on the skin?

Facial mesotherapy with vitamins stimulates the biological metabolism of the skin, repairing it from the dermis and improving the synthesis of elastin and collagen. This technique is usually recommended from the age of 25 or 30 as anti-ageing prevention as it improves the skin’s repair process and strengthens it against external factors that accelerate its deterioration, especially on the face, which is more exposed.

For this reason, mesotherapy is part of treatments for the care of any type of skin and age, as it aims to provide nutrition, luminosity and improve the texture of the skin. In addition, thanks to its antioxidant and moisturising effects, many patients can see fine lines and other early signs of ageing soften.

This treatment is designed to replenish the loss of vitamins, trace elements, nutrients and minerals along with other components such as hyaluronic acid to deeply nourish the skin and correct minor imperfections such as open pores, blemishes and acne marks. This dermal boost has many benefits for the skin of the face, neck and décolleté.
