All the facts about the benefits of mesotherapy: for face, body, hair

A beautiful, slender figure gives you self-confidence. Every woman dreams of an ideal silhouette. But sometimes poor nutrition, a sedentary lifestyle, childbirth, and hormonal surges lead to the deposition of fatty layers in the most inappropriate places. The skin in the abdomen and thighs becomes especially flabby and loose.

In our clinic we offer an effective and safe solution to this problem - abdominal mesotherapy. We practice fractional microneedling mesotherapy. This is the most gentle and painless method, since lipolytic injections are administered with super-thin needles. Such technologies act locally only in hard-to-reach places.

Substances that break down fat quickly penetrate the tissue, resulting in a rejuvenating effect. It becomes soft, elastic, the body is cleansed of waste and toxins that contribute to the formation of orange peel and stretch marks.

Before any medical procedure, our salon provides a free examination by an experienced cosmetologist. The undoubted advantage of mesotherapy is its versatility; fractional technology is suitable for any skin type. Talia becomes slimmer from the first sessions. The duration of the course will depend on the severity of the problem areas; on average, for a lasting effect, 5-10 manipulations with a break of 7-10 days are enough.

Mesotherapy – what is it?

The principle of mesotherapy is to use smaller and strictly dosed amounts of drugs, directing them directly to the treatment area or as close to it as possible.

In particular, facial mesotherapy involves injections of nourishing, skin-restoring mixtures, vitamins, plant extracts, and sometimes hormones and enzymes that stimulate, rejuvenate, give tone and radiance to the skin, and in addition, eliminate excess fat.

During the session, the doctor performs several superficial injections of medication directly on or around problem areas. The drugs are administered using a syringe with a thin needle with a length of 4 to 13 mm, manually or with a special pistol. Depending on the task, the number of sessions and injections may vary. This procedure is many times more effective than using the same components externally. Creams and masks are not able to have such a complete and deep effect, since they cannot penetrate through the layers of the skin. Injection overcomes this barrier and delivers substances to the deep layers of the dermis.

For sessions, preparations containing hyaluronic acid, collagen and other components that are produced in our body are used. However, with age, their deficiency appears. Mesoinjections eliminate the lack of these substances, due to which the skin revives, acquires elasticity, firmness, a beautiful contour, and wrinkles are smoothed out.

In addition to the two named substances, the necessary microelements and vitamin cocktails can be included in the complexes, which makes mesotherapy even more productive.

Such procedures can rejuvenate the skin of not only the face, but also the body, and improve the condition of the hair. Usually, to see the result, several sessions are required, between which there should be a time interval of about 7 days. The number of sessions is determined depending on the individual characteristics of the person.

Before starting a course of treatment, you must undergo an allergen test. For this purpose, the skin of the forearm is pierced with a needle and the drug is applied. Redness and swelling indicate the presence of an allergy.

Drug rating

DMAE (1 or 3%) is a biodegradable molecule that has the ability to tighten the skin and produce a lifting effect. A 1 percent drug is used to correct the lower eyelids; it helps make the bags less pronounced.

GLUTA (600, 1200) is used for whitening. The drug is most often used to reduce hand pigmentation.

Vitamin C is also required for whitening. In addition, it is effective against acne.

Hyaluronic acid (1–3.5%) effectively eliminates fine wrinkles, moisturizes and has a slight whitening effect.

For whom is mesotherapy a solution?

Many patients ask questions about what mesotherapy is, how it helps and what it changes.

The procedures are indicated at all ages. For example, a young girl can use them to get rid of acne, pimples and improve her complexion. For a lady over 30, mesotherapy will help give her face a beautiful, fresh tint, make the skin moisturized and even out its texture.

Of course, the method is not able to completely eliminate deep furrows and wrinkles, but it can make them less noticeable. The procedures are primarily a good preventive measure against skin aging. In addition, using mesotherapy, at a fairly mature age, you can improve the oval of the face, providing it with a clearer contour.

Many patients, confusing mesotherapy with biorevitalization, believe that these are subcutaneous injections of hyaluronic acid. Meanwhile, in addition to hyaluronic acid, whole cocktails of vitamins and other useful substances are used in meso-sessions.

You can rejuvenate the skin in this way only if you have certain indications for this. Specifically, therapy is used to achieve goals such as:

• smoothing deep furrows and wrinkles;
• facial contour correction;
• elimination of acne, blackheads, scars, pigmentation;
• combating stretch marks that appear after pregnancy or due to sudden weight loss;
• elimination of cellulite, rosacea, stopping hair loss;
• reduction of the rehabilitation period after plastic surgery.

For whom the procedure is contraindicated

Mesotherapy should be performed exclusively by cosmetologists and dermatologists. However, as in any other field of cosmetology, doubt always remains regarding the effect of the active ingredients and dosages administered.

Any contraindications to cosmetic mesotherapy are identified by a specialist during a pre-therapeutic consultation. It can be:

• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• autoimmune, infectious, inflammatory, chronic diseases, as well as other diseases during exacerbation;
• allergies, intolerance to cocktail components;
• keloid or hypertrophic scars;
• treatment with anticoagulants;
• blood clotting disorder;
• the presence of neoplasms, cholelithiasis, renal failure, vascular diseases, heart disease.

Please note: this is by no means an exhaustive list.

Contraindications

Radio wave therapy is considered a safe procedure, but still it has its own contraindications, which are conventionally divided into temporary and absolute. The first include:

• acute respiratory infections, ARVI;
• chronic dermatological diseases in the acute stage;
• acne, purulent and inflammatory wounds on the body;
• acute fungal, bacterial infection;
• high body temperature, fever;
• pregnancy, breastfeeding;
• period.

If a patient is diagnosed with one of the following diseases, RF lifting is strictly prohibited:

• the presence of metal implants or a pacemaker in the body;
• chronic cardiovascular diseases;
• cardiac, renal, liver, pulmonary failure;
• neoplasms of malignant and benign nature;
• diseases of the hematopoietic system;
• diabetes;

• congenital or acquired immunodeficiency;
• hormonal or endocrine disruptions;
• autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.;
• history of heart attack, stroke;
• severe neurological disorders.

Side effect

Side effects are the downside of using any drug and method. Mesotherapy is no exception. Pain is the most common effect. Therefore, local anesthesia is used during sessions. There are also:

• Expected side effects that go away within a few days:
• edema;
• erythema (redness);
• bleeding (crusts);
• bruises;
• unexpected consequences:
• small irregularities, local sensitivity, itching;
• inflammatory and allergic reactions;
• temporary damage to the facial nerve;
• infection;
• granulomas.

Side effects cannot be completely avoided. However, it is possible to reduce their risk and intensity of manifestation to a minimum. To do this you need:

• exclude simultaneous performance of other cosmetic procedures;
• Do not use decorative cosmetics for 12 hours;
• for a few days, reduce the overall load on the body, give up active sports;
• Do not visit the solarium or bathhouse for two days.

After care

On the first day after the manipulations, you should avoid water procedures - baths, showers, and do not apply any cosmetics to the skin that may cause irritation. During the week, it is forbidden to expose the treated areas to direct sunlight, as well as to visit the sauna, bathhouse, or swimming pool. During rehabilitation, experts recommend limiting physical activity, because excessive sweating can cause a bacterial infection and the development of inflammation.

To maintain the effect of RF lifting for as long as possible, after a course of therapy it is necessary to properly care for the skin, following the recommendations of a cosmetologist. Effective hydration and activation of regeneration processes are triggered by special creams, which are selected individually by a specialist for each patient.

To maintain hydrobalance, it is recommended to maintain a drinking regime, consuming at least 1.5 - 2 liters of clean drinking water during the day. To prevent the formation of new fat deposits in the abdominal area, it is advisable to adjust the diet by excluding spicy, fried, fatty, and salty foods from the menu. Moderate physical activity, which helps maintain muscle tone, burn fat, and prevent the formation of cellulite, has a positive effect on your health in general and your skin in particular.

Efficiency of procedures

The use of caring and medicinal cosmetics improves the condition of the skin, but such products cannot penetrate into its deeper layers. Mesotherapy can do this. The effectiveness of the procedure is easy to notice from the photos taken by patients before and after the sessions.

To obtain a specific effect, different drugs are used:

1. To eliminate furrows and wrinkles, cocktails with hyaluronic acid are introduced, which provide additional hydration.
2. Removal of vascular defects, visible vessels located close to the surface of the skin, involves the use of complex cocktails.
3. Products that contain antioxidants and vitamins can improve your complexion.
4. Products containing collagen and elastin are used for tightening.
5. Compositions with bleaching acids are effective against pigmentation and freckles.
6. You can eliminate acne and pimples with the help of special medicinal cocktails.
7. Scars respond well to glycolic acid.

As you can see, there are many options and solutions to problems. Therefore, the main thing is to choose a good cosmetologist who will individually select the most effective composition of components for your skin and will be able to minimize the risks of complications.

Please note: no matter how professionally the mesotherapy procedure is performed, it will in any case give minimal side effects. Therefore, advice: do not plan anything important after the injections.

To achieve the best results, it usually takes more than one session. As a rule, the course consists of 5–10 procedures at intervals of several days.

After the session, it is not recommended to use decorative cosmetics, including foundations, which clients often resort to in order to disguise their marks.

In addition, it is undesirable to consume alcohol, which dilates blood vessels and can provoke an unexpected reaction. You should not sunbathe: the sun and solarium can cause pigmentation.

Other Practiced Techniques

Many people are afraid of injections, but they would also like to take advantage of the benefits of mesotherapy. Other methods of introducing substances into the deep layers of the skin have been developed especially for such patients. We are talking about non-injection mesoprocedures and will tell you more about them.

There is no pain during the sessions, and there is no swelling after the session. This is possible thanks to a special method of introducing bioactive substances that are included in nutritional cocktails and serums. First, the specialist applies the product to the skin, and then, using a special device, introduces it into the pores and cells. Moreover, the impact can be laser, electromagnetic or oxygen, which is very popular today.

Those who are concerned about unevenness and other defects of the skin relief should get acquainted with this type of mesotherapy as fractional. This is a revolutionary method using the thinnest needles, which make up to 1,000 micropunctures in 1–2 minutes of treatment. As a result, restoration processes are launched in the skin, and active migration of cells to the damaged area occurs. The skin is transformed, becomes even and smooth.

There is also a home method of mesotherapy, in which a meso cocktail is applied to the cleansed surface of the skin, and then its components are carried into the deeper layers with massage movements using a special roller. At the end of this procedure, it is recommended to treat the skin with a cotton pad soaked in chlorhexidine.

At home

It is possible to perform mesotherapy at home if you pay attention to the selection of a high-quality composition and unit for its safe subcutaneous administration.

For the procedure, it is recommended to use a mesoscooter - a small device consisting of a handle and a roller attachment with a large number of needles. After cleaning the skin, a cocktail is applied to its surface, and a mesoscooter is passed over it. The needles make small punctures in the skin, facilitating the penetration of beneficial substances.

If you follow all the recommendations, the technique will be absolutely safe and will bring you the desired result.

Body and mesotherapy

Mesotherapy can be used not only for the face. Moreover, the method itself was not initially invented for cosmetic correction of facial skin. In fact, it is universal, so in certain situations it gives an excellent effect on the body.

The indications are:

1. Mesotherapy gets rid of “orange peel” (cellulite), removes excess fat, and is effective for many skin diseases.
2. Injections are effective in combating pigment spots, scars and skin stretch marks, and cope with rashes and inflammatory processes.
3. Mesotherapy sessions will help eliminate spider veins and are used for rosacea, vasodilatation, varicose veins, etc.
4. In addition, mesotherapy is an excellent restorative procedure after other cosmetic procedures.

The method helps eliminate toxins and waste, improves blood circulation, and in the fight against cellulite on the thighs and buttocks gives an effect that is sometimes better than even the most stringent dietary restrictions.

When it comes to improving body contours, mesotherapy has an amazing lifting effect and can be more productive than even the most persistent systematic training.

By the way, this is the only method that eliminates fat in the abdominal area in men.

Sessions can be carried out either manually or using special equipment. In the first case, these will be injections, in the second, devices.

Before starting therapy, a specialist performs an examination and consultation and selects the desired composition of cocktails, taking into account age and other factors.

Meso for hair

Hair is sacred to many. They are part of the image and the subject of special attention. Their loss can lead to real problems, not only aesthetic, but also psychological. But modern cosmetology and aesthetic medicine have a solution to this issue - mesotherapy.

Most cases of hair loss are caused by:

• hormonal imbalance around the hair follicle;
• lack of nutrients;
• decreased blood circulation.

Mesotherapy, which includes vitamins and other active beneficial substances, acts specifically on these 3 problems and thus stops hair loss and stimulates its natural growth.

Reviews from patients confirm this. In addition, the procedure improves the condition of the hair and is almost painless.

The optimal course consists of 10–12 sessions, once a week. The set of necessary components must be determined by a specialist. This is a wide range of minerals, vitamins, amino acids, nucleic acids, enzymes, which must be adapted to the individual needs of the patient. Accordingly, before starting treatment, you need to conduct an examination, find out the causes of hair loss, individual contraindications and receive instructions.

Session in progress (step by step)

Many who know that mesotherapy is associated with injections are afraid of this very term. But the hair procedure is virtually painless; in addition, you may be offered local anesthesia, so you should not be afraid of the session.

It goes like this:

1. The patient sits in a comfortable chair.
2. The doctor treats the scalp with a special alcohol-based composition. These manipulations help to disinfect the areas and provide a slight analgesic effect.
3. During the procedure, the specialist uses syringes with microneedles. A needle is inserted into the skin 2 millimeters just below the epidermis and with its help the drug is dosed in small quantities.
4. Immediately after the procedure, the patient can return to normal life.

The session lasts 30–40 minutes, during which the patient may feel a slight burning sensation. Rarely - a feeling of pain, which is easily relieved with an anesthetic ointment.

After the procedure, there are sometimes feelings of discomfort and redness that disappear within two days.

This is a truly safe and effective treatment that has proven itself from the best side. But do not forget about contraindications. They are as follows:

• infectious lesions of the scalp;
• dandruff, ringworm, accompanied by itching;
• allergy to any of the components;
• fragility, dryness, split ends;
• early gray hair.

Expert review

Mesotherapy is both a preventive and therapeutic method using exclusively natural products, which has become a classic method. While not miraculous, it is still very valuable and has proven itself well.

No other non-invasive procedure, the use of creams, masks, serums will give such a tangible result for moisturizing, nourishing and improving skin tone, its firmness, elasticity, and anti-aging.

It is thanks to its versatility and ability to solve many different problems with the skin of the face, body, and hair that mesotherapy does not lose popularity over the years, but, on the contrary, is only gaining popularity.
