Summary/Abstract: Background: Aging is a slow and inevitable process, which starts around age 30 when collagen fibres begin to slowly lose the ability to absorb water. As a result the first fine lines appear. In recent years, improving the image and thus the quality of life, has become a priority issue for many women. Both aesthetic medicine centres and beauty parlours try to meet their customers’ needs, offering newer and newer treatments, which improve the condition and quality of the skin. Recently, no-needle mesotherapy treatment, which is an alternative to needle mesotherapy, has become very fashionable. The former is chosen by clients who are not ready for more invasive treatments, which use injections.Aim of the study: The aim of this paper was to analyse the impact of treatments using hyaluronic acid-based no-needle mesotherapy on hydration of women’s skin, as well as the study population’s subjective assessment of the condition of their skin.Material and methods: The study was conducted on a group of 22 women, aged between 40 and 55 years. Skin moisture level was taken before and after a series of no-needle mesotherapy, in order to verify the effectiveness of the hyaluronic acid preparation and the no-needle mesotherapy device.Results: Before the treatments, the percentage of skin moisture oscillated from 10% to 63% ( x = 28.4%, SDSD = 10.9%) and after from 16% to 60% ( x = 37.7%, SD = 9.8%). The comparison of the results showed statistically significant difference (p < 0.0001).Conclusions: The study shows that treatments using hyaluronic acid-based no-needle mesotherapy has a significant impact on the improvement of moisture, condition and structure of the skin. The study subjects, based on their subjective assessment, have found that the treatments have been successful and the state of their skin has improved significantly.
