What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy involves the micro-injection of a customized blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and hyaluronic acid directly into the mesoderm, the middle layer of the skin. This potent mix of ingredients works synergistically to stimulate collagen and elastin production, enhance hydration, and improve skin texture and tone. Originally developed in 1952 by Dr. Michel Pistor in France for pain treatment, mesotherapy has evolved to address various aesthetic concerns, offering a natural and long-lasting solution for skin rejuvenation.
Aesthetic Applications of Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy can be employed for a variety of aesthetic purposes, including:
- Skin Rejuvenation: Reduces fine wrinkles on the face, neck, and décolleté while providing firming, lifting, and hydrating effects.
- Cellulite Treatment: Special active ingredients are injected into affected areas, leading to significant improvement in skin structure and fat deposit mobilization after several sessions.
- Hair Loss: Effective for both men and women, mesotherapy can address common hair loss issues by injecting a mixture of vitamins and stimulating substances directly into the scalp.
- Meso-Botox: Combines mesotherapy with botulinum toxin to achieve a natural relaxation of hyperactive facial muscles, improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also be used to treat excessive sweating in the armpits.
The Procedure
Mesotherapy begins with a thorough consultation where the doctor assesses your specific needs and explains the potential effects and rare side effects of the treatment. The procedure can be performed manually or with a specialized medical device called a “meso-gun.” Using the finest microinjections, individual mixtures of active ingredients are gently injected into various skin layers, allowing the ingredients to work effectively at the targeted site.
Treatments are typically conducted every other week for the first two months, followed by monthly sessions for another two months. To maintain optimal results, it is recommended to undergo mesotherapy twice a year. The procedure can also be combined with other treatments like peelings, fillers, or Botox for enhanced skin rejuvenation.
Expected Results
Mesotherapy leads to noticeable improvements in skin appearance, boosting elasticity and moisture levels for a fresh, bright, and natural look. This is often referred to as the “meso-glow effect.” When hyaluronic acid is included, the treatment is known as “meso-lifting.”
- Skin Rejuvenation: Achieves a natural, youthful glow and reduced fine wrinkles.
- Cellulite Reduction: Results in tighter skin and improved skin structure.
- Hair Loss: Can reverse various types of hair loss, promoting new hair growth.
