What Is Periocular Mesotherapy?
Genetic predisposition, lifestyle, and age-related changes in the skin can make signs of aging more noticeable around the eyes, where the tissue is delicate and thin. The habits below may increase the risk of darkness, lines, and a tired look around the eyes:
- Smoking and alcohol consumption
- Not wearing sunglasses
- Frequent and heavy eye makeup
- Skipping a regular skincare routine
- Lack of sleep and excessive eye strain
Periocular mesotherapy is a non-surgical medical aesthetics procedure in which cocktails containing vitamins, minerals, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and amino acids are delivered under the skin via micro-injections. The goal is to support skin renewal and help the periocular area look more vibrant.
Goals of mesotherapy
- Reducing the appearance of dark circles and shadowing
- Minimizing fine lines and wrinkles
- Balancing puffiness and under-eye bags
- Brightening skin tone and achieving a more youthful look
How Is Periocular Mesotherapy Performed?
Before the procedure, the periocular area is evaluated in detail and a blend is planned according to the skin’s needs. After ensuring comfort with a local anesthetic cream, micro-injections are performed.
- The patient’s needs and expectations are evaluated.
- The treatment area is cleansed with an antiseptic solution.
- The area is numbed with a topical anesthetic cream.
- The mesotherapy cocktail is applied with small needles at 2–3 cm intervals.
- The procedure usually takes 10–15 minutes.
- Post-treatment care recommendations are provided.
Personalized Cocktail

Which Areas Can Periocular Mesotherapy Be Applied To?
Since it is applied with specialized fine needles, it can be safely performed on the under-eye area, eyelids, and the overall periocular region. For the best results, it is important that the mesotherapy mixture is prepared individually.
