Mesotherapy is a cosmetic injection procedure in which amino acids and beneficial minerals are delivered to the skin. The introduction of a meso-cocktail allows you to get rid of many aesthetic problems, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, and improves blood microcirculation. Mesotherapy is used to combat dry skin, dark circles under the eyes, uneven facial contours and even wrinkles. The procedure is effective in treating acne. Mesotherapy also helps in the fight against local fat deposits - it promotes weight loss, destruction of adipose tissue and improvement of skin condition. A course of mesotherapy can be carried out as an independent measure in the fight against cellulite or as part of a complex therapy.
Meso-cocktail injections are used in the treatment of hair loss. Injections are made into the scalp.
History of the procedure
The procedure was first tested by a doctor from France, Michel Pistor: in 1952, he subcutaneously injected a complex of vitamins into his patient. The effectiveness appeared immediately, Pistor continued his research and found out that the same drug, which is administered to different points of the body and in different doses, will give a different therapeutic effect.
The procedure has changed noticeably by now: now mesotherapy allows you to achieve the desired result - rejuvenation and getting rid of aesthetic defects - which lasts for 1-1.5 years.
Kinds
There are several different types of violations that are worth discussing in a little more detail.
Freckles (ephelids)
They can be exclusively a defect located on the cheeks, forehead and nose, and also cover the entire body. These are small limited spots, mostly brownish, yellow or brownish-brown, usually round in shape. Most often found in boys and girls with blond or red hair. It is easy to recognize such formations by the following signs:
- They first appear from about 3 to 6-7 years of age, and by maturity they can disappear completely.
- In summer and spring they are very noticeable, and in cold weather they become much paler.
- They become darker in color from exposure to the sun.
- They concentrate on open areas of the body, but can also occur under clothing.
They pose absolutely no threat to health, and are sometimes considered not even a flaw, but an advantage, a highlight of appearance.

Chloasma
They are much larger and irregular in shape, located in the face and neck area. They have a light golden, yellow, brown or brown tint. They do not have additional volume, that is, they do not rise above the surface of the dermis. Mostly they are placed separately, but sometimes they merge into one larger spot. They can occur both at a young and at a more mature age.
Some believe that this type of pigmentation appears exclusively during pregnancy, but this is only one of many reasons. Chloasma can also be diagnosed from taking oral contraceptives, from hormonal imbalances of any etiology, from cosmetic procedures or certain medications, from the sun, or inherited.
Nevi
Such formations are mostly benign, and the common people usually affectionately call them moles. They can be congenital or appear over time. Colors range from light yellow or beige (flesh) to dark brown, almost black. Sometimes they change color over the years, and the sizes are also different. The surface of nevi can be smooth or rough, and hair can also grow on it.
In the vast majority of cases, no removal is implied, but sometimes there are objective reasons for this. If nevi constantly get in the way, rub against clothes, stand out unattractively in the most visible place, then many people think about how to cure and remove such age spots on the forehead, cheek, nose and neck, or other parts of the body.
How does the procedure work?
Mesotherapy injections include several stages. It all starts with a consultation: the doctor talks to you, finds out what exactly you plan to correct with the help of the procedure, selects the drug and the required dosage.
Then it cleanses your face of traces of cosmetics and impurities, and treats the injection area with an antiseptic. The next stage is the application of topical anesthesia. Thanks to this, mesotherapy does not leave any unpleasant sensations. In front of you, the specialist prints out the individual packaging of the drug and injection, and performs intradermal injections according to the chosen scheme. Then the skin is re-treated with an antiseptic and a soothing cream is applied.
After completing the procedure, Cleo Line staff will tell you how to care for the treated area.

Recovery period
The recovery period after mesotherapy for facial skin and hair is minimal. The usual precautions are the same as after any other injection procedure:
- Do not wash your face in the first 8 hours after the procedure; if necessary, it is better to treat your face with an antiseptic (not alcohol!);
- Avoid cosmetics for 1-2 days;
- For 2-3 days you need to give up the sauna, steam bath, hot bath and swimming pool;
- It is better to postpone sports for the same 2-3 days;
- Within 5-7 days after mesotherapy, you should not visit or carry out aggressive cosmetic procedures - for example, it is better to postpone chemical acid peeling to a later date;
- You should avoid visiting the solarium for the entire course of mesotherapy.
Main reasons
If age spots from the sun appear on the face, many are interested in what helps, what to treat and what to do, but first of all you should find out what caused them.
I Heredity
This is the most common option. Even our distant ancestors often found their relatives based on similar characteristics. Information is recorded in the DNA code and passed from parents to children.
II Disorders due to hormonal changes
The dermis is not only the largest organ of the human body, but also completely dependent on hormones. Primarily sex hormones - estrogen and testosterone, as well as those produced by the pituitary gland - adrenocorticotropin, thyrotropin and somatotropin. When exposed to ultraviolet rays, they initiate a chain reaction, resulting in an unsightly dark area.
What makes the problem worse
- Taking a variety of drugs that affect hormones, including contraceptives.
- Processes during menopause.
- Pregnancy and lactation.
- Phases of the ovulation cycle in women.
- Teenage "hormonal storm".
III Diseases
Often, our epidermis becomes an indicator of health, which many simply do not pay attention to, and then think about how to remove and how to quickly remove age spots from the face, and what kind of cleansing is more suitable. Diseases that have prerequisites for the appearance of spots:
- Bacterial as well as viral infections.
- Endocrine pathologies (hypothyroidism, diabetes of any type, etc.).
- Kidney failure.
- Fungi.
- Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver.
- Hypovitaminosis, hypervitaminosis.
- Violation of metabolic processes.
- Parasites.
- Sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS.
IV Peeling and other cosmetic procedures
Sometimes some manipulations for “beauty enhancement” can also affect the appearance of pigments. There are several prerequisites for this: injury or stimulation of inflammation. Therefore, it is extremely important to first diagnose the nature of the spots and only then contact a cosmetologist.
V Acne
Experts say that even the slightest mechanical damage can cause the development of pigmentation. If you squeeze out a pimple, the stratum corneum will inevitably be damaged. If you do not protect it with anything and do not use restorative agents, then it is likely that a small brown area will remain there.
Advantages and disadvantages
The procedure has many advantages:
- Safe composition of the drug;
- Wide range of indications;
- Efficiency;
- Increased skin turgor;
- Improved complexion;
- Help in treating acne;
- Elimination of rosacea;
- Normalization of sebum production;
- Lifting effect;
- Lightening pigment spots;
- Relief leveling;
- Stimulation of hair growth on the head;
- Lasting results;
- Possibility to combine with other treatment methods.
There are significantly fewer disadvantages, and even those are very conditional. These include:
- Preservation of papules (small lumps) immediately after the procedure - injection marks will disappear within a couple of days;
- A small number of contraindications.
Result
After the procedure, the oval of the face is tightened, wrinkles and skin creases are smoothed out. The condition of the skin improves: the tone returns, the relief is evened out, the skin literally glows. “Bags” and “dark circles” under the eyes are reduced. Thanks to the activation of internal resources, a positive effect in the treatment of acne is achieved - the number of inflammations and their severity are noticeably reduced. An anti-aging effect is observed. With scalp mesotherapy, hair loss activity is reduced. If mesotherapy is carried out on the body, the amount of adipose tissue decreases, the skin texture is evened out, and the appearance of cellulite is reduced.
To achieve the best effect, mesotherapy is performed in a course. Cleo Line doctors determine the number and frequency of procedures for each patient on an individual basis.
Reviews and opinions of doctors about the procedure
Danilkova Oksana Igorevna
Mesotherapy for me belongs to the category of “favorite” procedures. By introducing certain drugs, be it vitamins, microelements, amino acids, peptides and other biologically active substances, they are precisely targeted to the area where they are now needed. This allows you to work very accurately in the dermis and in the scalp and in places of local fat deposits. Procedures are carried out frequently - once a week and for a long time - at least 7-10 times. But this is the only inconvenience. Many of my patients return to mesotherapy again, which means they like the result!
Belova Elena Andreevna
In my work, I often prescribe mesotherapy for many problems (dry and dull complexion, cellulite, hair loss, pigmentation, scars, stretch marks, rosacea, etc.) and see a clinically pronounced effect from the course of procedures. The composition of the drug for this purpose is determined solely individually, depending on the desired result. I can compare the skin to growing a flower, because it needs watering, care, nutrition, sometimes removing excess leaves, protection from the scorching sun (well, if it’s not a cactus), and the skin of patients often needs the same thing: moisturize, nourish with vitamins and microelements, give antioxidant protection, improve microcirculation. And mesotherapy copes with this task remarkably well.
TOP best creams for facial pigmentation in the pharmacy
In order to choose a really good and high-quality anti-pigmentation cream, you need to study its composition, look at popular brands and the products they offer. You need to pay attention to the presence of hydrochion in the composition. This is a toxic substance that gives a quick and long-lasting effect, but has many side effects. The use of this drug is prohibited throughout the world, and therefore it is prescribed only in extreme cases. Another not very useful component is mercury. Using a cream with this composition too often will lead to exposure to poisonous fumes. The consequences may be different.
A good anti-pigmentation cream should contain the following substances:
- vitamin C – promotes rapid restoration of the skin, softens the strong chemical effect of other components on the epidermis;
- arbutin – care for problematic and sensitive skin;
- beta-carotene – prevents the appearance of new pigmentations;
- gluconic acid – enhances the effect of all other components and also has a whitening effect;
- Tretinol is a chemical that helps other components be absorbed into the skin through pores faster, and also helps damaged areas recover faster;
- rucinol – a component responsible for whitening pigmentation;
- tocopherol – prevents the appearance of new pigmentations;
- kojic acid – effectively fights stains, but can be an allergen;
- hydrochion is a toxic substance. It removes pigmentation perfectly and for a long time, but has side effects.
During pregnancy, you need to choose a whitening cream with a separate composition.
For expectant mothers, it is very important that when using this or that drug, it does not harm the baby. Therefore, you need to choose whitening face creams very carefully. It is strictly prohibited to use products that contain the following components in high concentration:
