Mesotherapy, performed by a skilled master, can help in almost all complex cosmetic situations: from treating problem skin to burning fat in certain places.
Mesotherapy is a popular cosmetic treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin, reduce fat, and improve overall skin tone. This non-surgical procedure involves the injection of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, or medications into the middle layer of the skin (mesoderm) to target specific skin concerns. Below, we explore the details of mesotherapy, its benefits, potential side effects, and other key information you need to know.
What Is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment that uses micro-injections to deliver active ingredients directly into the mesoderm layer of the skin. The procedure can be tailored to address a variety of concerns, such as:
- Skin rejuvenation: Enhancing skin elasticity, hydration, and tone.
- Fat reduction: Targeting localized fat deposits on areas like the face, thighs, or abdomen.
- Hair regrowth: Stimulating hair follicles to combat hair thinning and hair loss.
- Cellulite reduction: Improving the appearance of dimpled or uneven skin
How Does Mesotherapy Work?
The treatment works by injecting a customized blend of active ingredients, which may include:
- Vitamins and minerals
- Hyaluronic acid
- Plant extracts
- Hormones (like calcitonin or thyroxin)
- Prescription medications (e.g., vasodilators or antibiotics)
These substances help improve circulation, stimulate collagen production, and break down fat deposits, depending on the desired outcome.
The Procedure
- Consultation: The process begins with a consultation to discuss your skin concerns and determine if mesotherapy is the right treatment for you.
- Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned and numbed with a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort.
- Injection: Using a fine needle, small amounts of the active solution are injected into the mesoderm. The session typically lasts 20–40 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
- Post-Treatment Care: Mild swelling or redness may occur, but these effects usually subside within a few hours.
Benefits of Mesotherapy
- Improves skin hydration and texture
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
