What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive technique used to treat various skin conditions. It involves the injection of tiny amounts of medications, vitamins, and minerals into the mesoderm (middle layer) of the skin. The goal of mesotherapy is to improve the appearance of skin by targeting specific areas that need improvement.
Definition
Mesotherapy is defined as a form of medical treatment in which tiny amounts of pharmaceuticals, vitamins, and minerals are injected into the mesoderm (middle layer) of the skin. The medications are tailored to meet individual needs and can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including wrinkles, cellulite, sun damage, dry skin, stretch marks, and circles around the eyes.
Benefits
The benefits of mesotherapy include improved skin texture and tone as well as reduced wrinkles and fine lines. It can also help reduce dark circles around the eyes and even out uneven pigmentation. Additionally, it can help reduce cellulite and improve circulation in the treated area.
Who is suitable for the treatment?
Mesotherapy is suitable for people with mild to moderate signs of aging or other skin conditions such as wrinkles, sun damage, dryness, stretch marks, or circles around the eyes. It is also suitable for individuals who want to improve their overall complexion without undergoing surgery or using harsh chemicals.
Who is not suitable for the treatment?
Mesotherapy may not be suitable for those with certain medical conditions or allergies that could be exacerbated by injections. Additionally, individuals who have had recent cosmetic treatments such as laser resurfacing or chemical peels should wait at least two weeks before undergoing mesotherapy treatment. Pregnant women should also avoid this type of treatment due to potential risks to their unborn baby.
How does it work?
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves injecting small amounts of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals and other active ingredients into the mesoderm layer of the skin. The mesoderm is the middle layer of skin which contains blood vessels, lymphatic vessels and collagen. This treatment can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions such as wrinkles, sun damaged skin, cellulite, stretch marks and dry skin.
The Dermapen device
The Dermapen device is an electronic device that consists of a motorised pen with multiple needles. The needles are used to penetrate the mesoderm layer of the skin in order to deliver hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals and other active ingredients into the dermis. These ingredients help to stimulate collagen production and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
The motorised pen
The motorised pen is used to inject small amounts of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals and other active ingredients into the mesoderm layer of the skin. The needles penetrate through the epidermis (outer layer) and dermis (middle layer) layers in order to reach the mesoderm layer where these ingredients are injected. The needle size can be adjusted depending on how deep you want to penetrate into your skin and also how much product you want to inject. After each injection, a cooling agent is applied to reduce any discomfort or swelling that may occur from the injections.
Mesotherapy is effective & safe, reducing stretch marks, cellulite, dry skin, sun damage, sagging skin, & dark circles.
What results can be expected
Mesotherapy is an effective and safe treatment that can help improve the appearance of many skin issues. Depending on the condition being treated, results may vary from person to person.
Stretch marks
Stretch marks are a common problem for both men and women. Mesotherapy can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating collagen production in the affected area. This helps to improve the skin’s elasticity and reduce the visibility of stretch marks.
Cellulite
Cellulite is a common problem for many people, especially women. Mesotherapy can help reduce the appearance of cellulite by improving circulation in the affected area. This helps to break down fat deposits and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Dry skin
Dry skin can be caused by a variety of factors such as age, genetics, hormones, or lifestyle habits. Mesotherapy can help restore moisture levels in dry skin by increasing hydration and improving circulation in the affected area. This helps to reduce itching, flaking, and irritation associated with dry skin.
Sun damaged skin
Exposure to UV rays from sunlight can cause damage to the skin over time. Mesotherapy can help repair sun damaged skin by stimulating collagen production in the affected area. This helps to improve elasticity and reduce wrinkles caused by sun damage.
Tight skin
Aging can cause skin to become loose and saggy due to decreased collagen production. Mesotherapy can help tighten loose skin by stimulating collagen production in the affected area. This helps to improve elasticity and reduce sagging in areas such as the face, neck, and arms.
Circles around eyes
Dark circles under eyes are often caused by poor circulation or lack of sleep. Mesotherapy can help lighten dark circles under eyes by increasing circulation in this area and reducing inflammation associated with fatigue or stress. This helps to brighten up dark circles under eyes for a more youthful appearance.
Recovery period and aftercare
Mesotherapy is a relatively safe and non-invasive procedure. After the treatment, patients may experience redness, swelling, or slight bruising in the area that was treated. These symptoms usually subside within a few days. Depending on the individual’s skin condition, results may be seen straight away or over multiple treatments.
Aftercare Instructions
It is important to follow aftercare instructions provided by the clinician. Generally speaking, patients should:
- Avoid sun exposure for a few days following treatment.
- Use sunscreen with SPF 30+ when going outside.
- Avoid using any products that contain alcohol or fragrances.
- Gently cleanse the skin twice daily with lukewarm water and a mild cleanser.
- Apply moisturizer regularly to keep the skin hydrated.
If patients have any questions or concerns about their recovery period, they should contact their clinician for advice.
Overall, mesotherapy is an effective treatment for reducing stretch marks, cellulite, dry skin, sun damaged skin, tight skin, and circles around the eyes. It can provide long-lasting results with minimal downtime and discomfort. However, it is important to follow all aftercare instructions provided by the clinician to ensure optimal results and reduce the risk of complications.
