🟢 What it is
Antioxidant Mesotherapy (Meso Blend) in Korea is a skin booster treatment that uses microinjections to deliver a customized mix of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, peptides, and hyaluronic acid directly into the dermis. The goal is to neutralize free radicals, repair oxidative damage, and protect the skin from aging caused by environmental stressors like UV rays, pollution, and lifestyle factors.
Common antioxidant ingredients in meso blends include:
- Glutathione: Strong master antioxidant; reduces pigmentation and detoxifies.
- Vitamin C: Brightening, collagen-boosting, and UV protection.
- Vitamin E: Anti-inflammatory, improves barrier strength.
- Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Cellular energy and antioxidant support.
- Polyphenols & Peptides: Additional anti-aging and repair effects.
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA): Provides hydration and enhances delivery.
In Korea, antioxidant mesotherapy is often referred to as a “skin detox injection”, as it both refreshes and protects the skin.
🟢 Why it’s Done
Patients in Korea choose antioxidant meso blends for anti-aging, brightening, and prevention:
➡️ Free radical protection: Shields skin from oxidative stress and premature aging.
➡️ Brightening: Reduces dullness, pigmentation, and uneven tone.
➡️ Collagen stimulation: Strengthens skin structure and elasticity.
➡️ Repair: Helps with UV and pollution-related damage.
➡️ Barrier improvement: Enhances resilience against external irritants.
➡️ Preventive anti-aging: Maintains youthful glow before deeper wrinkles form.
This aligns with the K-beauty philosophy of early prevention and long-term skin health.
🟢 Alternatives
Depending on skin needs, Korean dermatologists may suggest or combine with:
🔹 Whitening mesotherapy cocktails (Glutathione + Vitamin C): More pigmentation-focused.
🔹 Rejuran Healer (PN): Cellular repair and barrier strengthening.
🔹 Profhilo: HA bioremodeling for hydration + elasticity.
🔹 Exosome Boosters: Advanced regeneration and inflammation control.
🔹 Vitamin Booster Facials: Infusion of nutrients via microneedling.
🔹 Topical antioxidants (serums): Daily maintenance but weaker penetration than injections.
Often in Korea, antioxidant meso blends are paired with lasers (IPL, Fraxel) for pigmentation control and rejuvenation.
🟢 Preparation
Preparation helps maximize safety and results:
➡️ Consultation: Skin analysis for pigmentation, oxidative damage, and wrinkles.
➡️ Medical history: Patients disclose allergies, medications, or prior injections.
➡️ Avoid blood thinners: Stop aspirin, ibuprofen, alcohol, and fish oil for 3–5 days.
➡️ Skin care prep: Avoid retinoids, chemical peels, or harsh exfoliants beforehand.
➡️ Expectation setting: Results are gradual and cumulative over multiple sessions.
🟢 How it’s Done
A session usually takes 20–30 minutes:
- Cleansing & sterilization of the treatment area.
- Numbing: Topical anesthetic applied for comfort.
- Microinjections:
- Cocktail injected into the dermis with ultra-fine needles or injector guns.
- Applied across the full face or targeted areas (cheeks, forehead, under-eyes).
- Soothing care: Cooling mask, antioxidant sheet mask, or LED therapy post-treatment.
Korean clinics typically recommend 3–5 sessions, spaced 2–4 weeks apart, with maintenance every 6–12 months.
🟢 Recovery
Recovery is quick and gentle:
🔹 Downtime: Minimal—patients resume activities the same day.
🔹 Redness/swelling: Mild, resolves in 24–48 hours.
🔹 Tiny bumps: Common at injection sites, fade in 1–2 days.
🔹 Results:
- Glow and radiance after 1–2 weeks.
- Pigmentation and fine line improvement after 2–3 sessions.
- Long-term antioxidant protection with regular maintenance.
✅ Post-care in Korea includes:
- Daily use of high SPF sunscreen (essential for brightening treatments).
- Avoid saunas, alcohol, and heavy exercise for 24–48 hours.
- Gentle hydrating skincare to support recovery.
🟢 Complications
Antioxidant meso blends are safe, but mild side effects may occur:
⚠️ Mild issues:
- Redness, tenderness, or swelling.
- Small bruises at injection points.
⚠️ Rare risks:
- Allergic reaction to specific vitamins/antioxidants.
- Infection if post-care is neglected.
- Uneven tone if not evenly injected (corrected in follow-ups).
➡️ Korean dermatologists minimize risks with customized blends and sterile microinjection techniques.
🟢 Treatment Options in Korea
Korean dermatology clinics customize antioxidant mesotherapy depending on skin goals:
🔹 Brightening blends: Glutathione + Vitamin C + Tranexamic Acid.
🔹 Anti-aging blends: CoQ10 + Vitamin A + peptides.
🔹 Repair blends: Vitamin E + polynucleotides + amino acids.
🔹 Hydration blends: HA + Vitamin B5 (Panthenol).
🔹 Korean approach:
- Antioxidant meso + Laser Toning (IPL, Nd:YAG): Brightens skin and reduces pigmentation.
- Antioxidant meso + Rejuran or Exosomes: Repair + anti-inflammatory synergy.
- Full-face & neck rejuvenation packages: 3–5 sessions for long-lasting glow.
