Mesoscooter for the body against cellulite: how to use, contraindications, review of drugs for mesotherapy

“Orange peel” on the thighs, stomach, and buttocks spoils the mood of most women. If you start eliminating the defect in the early stages of its development, it is quite possible to restore a beautiful figure and smooth skin. There are many ways to deal with violations. Mesoscooter for cellulite has long proven its effectiveness. It can be used both independently and in a specialized salon.

What is a mesoscooter?

A mesoscooter (or dermaroller) belongs to the category of auxiliary cosmetic devices. It is a rubber or plastic rotating roller mounted on a holder, completely covered with needles. The spikes are made from an alloy of gold and silver, medical steel or titanium. The material does not affect the effectiveness of the procedure in any way, but the durability of the device itself depends on it.

The number of needles varies from 200 to 1080. A mesoscooter with a minimum number of spines is suitable for working on the face and head. Universal devices are equipped with approximately 500-600 spikes. In salons, to combat cellulite in the later stages of development, they use mesoscooters with 900-1100 needles; using them on your own is not recommended.

The characteristics of mesoscooters also vary depending on the length of the spikes:

• less than 0.25 mm - affect only the stratum corneum;
• from 0.3 to 1 mm – reach the epidermis;
• from 1 to 2 mm – the basal layer is pierced;
• from 2 to 3 mm - penetrate to the dermis.

Since cellulite affects the deep layers of the skin, needles 1-3 mm long will be required to eliminate it.

Attention: at home you should not use a mesoscooter with spikes larger than 1.5 mm. Using long needles, a person who does not have special skills can damage the integument.

When purchasing a mesoscooter, you should pay attention to the method of sharpening metal structural elements. It is advisable to give preference to devices with needles treated with diamond or laser. Forged spikes quickly become dull, making the mesoscooter unusable.

In order for cosmetic mesotherapy procedures to be effective and safe, you need to purchase the instrument only in specialized stores that sell professional equipment or in pharmacies. Before purchasing, you should make sure that you have the necessary product quality certificates. Products purchased from dubious sellers at reduced prices can cause serious harm to health.

Indications for use of the mesoscooter

There are not so many indications for using a mesoscooter, these include:

• correction of age-related skin changes. In practice, it has been proven that the use of this device can smooth out wrinkles, improve skin turgor and tighten the contour of the face;
• fight against hyperpigmentation;
• treatment of alopecia or improvement of hair growth;
• elimination of cicatricial changes in the skin after acne;
• cellulite treatment.

Rationale for the effectiveness of mesotherapy for correcting age-related skin changes

To understand why beauty injections give good results in the fight against aging, you need to touch on physiological issues. Thus, the beauty and youth of the skin depends on the amount of elastic and collagen fibers that fibroblasts synthesize.

Over the years, fibroblast activity gradually decreases, and age-related changes begin to appear. This is where the procedure using a mesoscooter, for which various cocktails are used, comes to the rescue. The most commonly used is hyaluronic acid.

In addition, microinjections stimulate blood flow to the skin and activation of repair and regeneration processes in it. Unlike the usual mesotherapy procedure, the use of a mesoscooter allows you to simultaneously perform hundreds of micro-injections.

The principle of operation of the mesoscooter

The main cause of cellulite is a violation of local blood circulation and metabolism. As a result, subcutaneous tissue loses its structure, its cells grow and cluster into uneven groups. Due to insufficient supply of nutrients and oxygen, the skin becomes rough, loses elasticity, sags, becomes lumpy, and changes color. If treatment is not started in the early stages of cellulite, foci of necrosis develop on the body.

The effectiveness of the mesoscooter against cellulite is explained by the fact that the device directly affects the root cause of cellulite.

The needles, piercing the integument, create mechanical microtraumas, which provokes a powerful rush of blood to problem areas. Metabolic processes are activated, complex positive changes occur in the layers of the skin:

• the synthesis of elastin and collagen is activated;
• cellular regeneration accelerates;
• the capillary network is restored;
• the required amount of oxygen, nutritional components, and moisture enters the tissues;
• the dermis is freed from waste, toxins, and stagnant fluid;
• elasticity and firmness of the integument increases;
• the relief and color of the epidermis are evened out;
• stretch marks and small wrinkles are smoothed out.

Don't expect a miracle. The skin does not recover after one mesotherapy session, but the first results can be noticed. To enhance the effect, the body is pre-treated with special compounds enriched with bioactive components that accelerate the normalization of the skin structure. According to research, a body mesoscooter with the help of punctures increases tissue permeability up to 400 times. Thanks to this, the active substances penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis and affect its structure.

Why does the skin become loose?

The causes of sagging body skin may be as follows:

• aging. You will not find a person who will have beautiful skin at 80 years old. Typically, flabbiness occurs closer to the 40th birthday;
• heredity. A person begins to age at the age of 25. This is a natural process. But for some it happens earlier, for others later. It all depends on what is in the genes;
• insufficient muscle tone. If they are sluggish, then the skin of the body will have a flabby appearance. If muscle activity is insufficient, then the blood supply to the skin also suffers;
• childbirth. The skin of the abdomen, which has stretched during pregnancy, should return to its original shape. But this doesn't always happen. Even during pregnancy, there is a sign that indicates the possibility of sagging body skin after childbirth. We're talking about stretch marks;
• weight loss If a woman has lost excess weight, but very abruptly, this can provoke the appearance of “excess fat”;
• stress, internal diseases. All this affects the body, skin, and its condition.

Due to the above-mentioned reasons, blood circulation in the skin worsens, less elastin and collagen are produced. And outwardly it manifests itself as loose skin of the body.

Types of mesoscooter

In addition to the standard mechanical roller with needles, the cosmetology industry offers electric versions of mesoscooters. They have a similar design, but have additional functions:

• vibration - to improve metabolism, relieve swelling;
• microcurrents - activating collagen synthesis;
• radiation of different wavelengths - destroying pathogenic microorganisms.

According to cosmetologists, the simplest mechanical option best copes with its main task. Models of mesoscooters also differ in their area of ​​application.

Homemade

Mesoscooters for independent use are equipped with the shortest spikes (up to 0.5 mm).

They are usually used to tighten the skin on the face, eliminate wrinkles, and correct minor defects on the body. The devices are safe because they do not affect the deeper layers of the skin.

Cosmetic rollers

This group includes rollers with needles with a length of 0.5 to 1 mm. Suitable for smoothing scars and lightening hyperpigmented areas. Effective against the initial stage of cellulite.

Women use these rollers at home, but it is better if they are used by a specialist in a beauty salon. Inept use of a cosmetic mesoscooter can severely damage the basal layer of the skin.

Indications

Mesoscooters are used to solve problems such as:

• enlarged pores;
• local fat deposits;
• sagging skin;
• mimic or age wrinkles;
• thickening of the stratum corneum;
• dark spots;
• stretch marks;
• atrophic scars, scars;
• cellulite stages 1-3;
• post-acne;
• hypermelanosis;
• striae.

Mesoscooters are effective in the treatment of alopecia. Mechanical irritation of the scalp normalizes the supply of hair follicles with nutrients and promotes their restoration.

WHERE IS IT USED?

The mesoscooter can be used on a wide variety of areas; it is even suitable for treating stretch marks and the hated cellulite. Treatment with a mesoscooter is long-term, because... it is based primarily on natural processes in the body, the acceleration of which is almost impossible. Currently, the mesoscooter holds great promise for cosmetology. This device is admired by dermatologists and plastic surgeons around the world. This method allows you to get stunning results with the most common treatment. The mesoscooter is able to renew the structure of the skin, and this cannot be done even with the help of plastic surgery. It seems that this method will stay for a long time, and the device itself will become the No. 1 tool in every clinic and in every home.

Contraindications

Mesotherapy is not suitable for everyone. Contraindications to the procedure are divided into two groups: absolute and temporary.

The first category includes:

• cardiovascular diseases;
• phlebeurysm;
• epilepsy;
• protruding moles or papillomas in the treatment area;
• poor blood clotting;
• the presence of oncological tumors of any etiology;
• active phase of tuberculosis;
• diabetes;
• tendency to scarring;
• thrombophlebitis;
• individual intolerance to the components of meso-cocktails.

Attention: it is forbidden to use a mesoscooter on the nipple areola or genital area.

Girls with conditions such as:

• microdamage to the integument;
• inflammation;
• acne;
• ARVI, influenza;
• exacerbation of herpes;
• elevated body temperature.

Pregnant, nursing mothers, and girls taking anticoagulants or corticosteroids will have to refuse the procedures. Women with rosacea should use a needle roller with extreme caution.

Rules for using the mesoscooter

A mesotherapy session consists of three equivalent stages: preparatory, main and final. None of them can be neglected. How effective and safe the manipulation will be depends on this.

Preparatory stage

First you need to prepare the device itself. To prevent infection, the mesoscooter should be treated with an antiseptic. Suitable for this:

• Chlorhexidine;
• hydrogen peroxide (3%);
• Miramistin;
• medical alcohol (75°).

The mesoscooter must be placed in the solution so that it completely covers the roller and needles. Leave for a quarter of an hour, then dry thoroughly, avoiding contact of the spikes with other surfaces.

To prepare your body for the session, you need to take a shower or bath with soap and gel. Use a scrub to open pores. Softened skin will significantly increase the effectiveness of the entire manipulation.

Skin treatment with a mesoscooter

Apply the selected meso cocktail to the cleaned surfaces. Typically, such products are equipped with a special sprayer. The drug should not be distributed over the entire body at once, but into small areas of problem areas, since it is recommended to use a roller on a slightly damp epidermis.

After treatment, the mesoscooter should be gently pressed to the body and glide over problem areas. Movements should be smooth, with light pressure (do not press too hard). The device must be moved strictly in straight lines:

• horizontal;
• verticals;
• diagonals.

Attention: it is prohibited to perform circular, wave, or return movements. Such actions easily damage the skin.

During the first three sessions, five repetitions are allowed in each direction. Then the number of approaches is gradually increased to ten. It is permissible to carry out manipulations twice a week.

Some discomfort felt during mesotherapy is normal. When using a mesoscooter with spikes larger than 2 mm, you can pre-treat the skin with an anesthetic spray. It is good to work on different parts of the body with separate devices with needles of different lengths.

The final stage

The mesotherapy session must be completed by applying a nourishing or moisturizing cream. You can hold a soothing fabric or alginate mask on your body for half an hour.

When you need to leave the house after mesotherapy, exposed skin must be treated with a 40SPF+ sunscreen.

The microtubules left from the needles remain open for another couple of hours. Therefore, it is permissible to reuse the meso cocktail. Through punctures, the active components of the mixtures will penetrate into the deep layers of the skin. When the holes close, the healing substances will remain inside the tissues. The injection marks will disappear after a few hours. The anti-cellulite effect will become visually noticeable after about the third session.

The effectiveness of dermarollers

Artificial pores that appear as a result of treating the skin with a mesoscooter spontaneously tighten in 1.5-2 hours. Therefore, it is recommended to treat cellulite in the evening. Then in the morning the injection marks will be invisible.

Interesting!

The first results (increased skin elasticity, even out texture and color) are noticeable after 3-5 procedures. You can completely get rid of cellulite by completing the full course: 15-20 sessions. It is recommended to repeat the course after 3-6 months.

The advantage of mesotherapy is the prolonged result. The anti-cellulite effect after using a mesoscooter against cellulite lasts up to 4-7 years.

How the procedure is carried out in the salon

A visit to a cosmetologist begins with a detailed interview with the patient, during which the specialist will clarify the presence of chronic diseases and make sure there are no contraindications. Mesotherapy does not require special training. The only recommendation is to avoid alcohol, fatty and fried foods on the day of the procedure.

The procedure in the salon follows the following scheme:

1. The cosmetologist cleanses and disinfects the skin.
2. The body is treated with an anesthetic drug.
3. When the medicine takes effect, a meso cocktail is distributed over the problem area.
4. The specialist works on the bumpy areas with a roller.
5. The meso cocktail is reapplied.
6. A healing, soothing composition is applied.

Attention: the mesoscooter is an item for individual use. The cosmetologist must print it in the presence of the patient!

The manipulation lasts from 30 minutes to one hour, depending on the degree of cellulite development and the affected area.

Course duration

A course of mesotherapy consists of 5-15 sessions, depending on the severity of cellulite. Then you need to take a break for 7-15 days. The duration of the interval depends on the individual ability of the dermis to regenerate and the woman’s age. The older the patient, the slower the tissue is restored, therefore, the pause should be longer.

After a break, treatment can be repeated. To eliminate cellulite in the initial stage, one course is enough. In advanced cases, two or three cycles of manipulation are required.

Plasmolifting

This is a natural biological method of getting rid of stretch marks. Consists of using platelet-rich plasma. After injection, it activates metabolic processes at the intracellular level. Stimulates the removal of excess fluid and toxins. Enhances cell regeneration. Improves the uniformity and color of the skin. Returns cells the ability to synthesize elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid, causing fresh stretch marks to lighten and disappear, and old ones to gradually dissolve.

Preparations for mesotherapy

For procedures with a mesoscooter, formulations are produced for home or professional use. They differ from each other in the percentage of active ingredients. You can purchase concentrates aimed at solving a specific problem, and cocktails - complex products. For mesotherapy, the latter are preferable.

Manufacturers include the following in the composition of effective drugs:

• micro-macroelements;
• caffeine;
• organic acids;
• anesthetics;
• fat burners;
• vitamins of different groups;
• L-carnitine;
• hyaluronic acid;
• plant extracts and other components.

Attention: only drugs designed for this manipulation are allowed to be used with the mesoscooter.

Ordinary ointments, creams, gels can provoke an unpredictable reaction in the body. For example, fats in high concentrations lead to clogging of punctures and the development of inflammatory processes.

Mesococktails are included in the product lines of many major cosmetics manufacturers. Let us examine in more detail the main characteristics of some mixtures.

HIKARI Laboratories serum anti-cellulite cocktail for mesoscooter, Cellulite Meso-cocktail

The drug has a complex effect on the body due to its unique composition. It includes:

After mesotherapy with serum, the skin becomes smooth, elastic, and toned. Flabbiness and sagging characteristic of the weight loss process disappears. The drug does not cause allergies and is suitable for ladies with sensitive skin.

Mechanism of action

When massaging problem areas with a mesoscooter, micropunctures are formed on the skin, which do not leave scars or scars. Due to the formation of artificial pores:

• Accelerates skin cell division and restoration;
• A new network of small vessels (capillaries) is formed and the supply of oxygen and nutrients to tissues is enhanced;
• The work of fibroblasts responsible for collagen synthesis is activated;
• Moisture is retained in the intercellular space.

Interesting!

Micro-injections with mesoscooter needles have a reflex effect - they stimulate the work of the central nervous system (CNS) and internal organs.

The device increases the absorption (absorption) of anti-cellulite cosmetics up to 10 times. Therefore, for the mesotherapy procedure the following is used:

• Anti-cellulite gels, creams, meso-cocktails, serums, vitamin complexes, extracts of medicinal herbs;
• Natural oils (olive, corn, flaxseed) combined with essential oils.

Expert opinion!

For home mesotherapy, it is better to purchase a ready-made sterile solution. Mixtures for meso-cocktails are prepared only by a qualified cosmetologist, taking into account the condition and type of skin, the stage of cellulite, and whether the client has allergies to medications.

A comparative analysis of photos before and after using the mesoscooter shows that:

• The skin texture is evened out;
• External manifestations of cellulite disappear;
• Increases skin tone and elasticity;
• Stretch marks become less pronounced.

The final result depends on the stage of cellulite. To get rid of the initial stage of the defect, one course of procedures is enough; in advanced forms, you will need to undergo 2-3 courses of mesotherapy.

Efficiency of using a mesoscooter

Possible complications

When carried out correctly, mesotherapy sessions rarely cause side effects. Negative consequences are often caused by illiterate use of the mesoscooter or violation of process technology.

Among the most common complications:

• infections;
• itching;
• persistent redness;
• burning;
• drying out of the epidermis;
• hematomas;
• scarring;
• post-traumatic hyperpigmentation.

The active ingredients in cocktails can provoke a powerful allergic reaction, including Quincke's edema.

The period after mesotherapy

In the first days after injections, a woman should follow the following recommendations:

• during the day, prevent water from entering the treated areas;
• do not visit the pool, sauna, solarium, or beach areas for two to three days;
• avoid direct exposure of the skin to sunlight;
• exclude sports and intense physical activity;
• do not use various skin care cosmetics in the area where injections were given;
• If necessary, apply antiseptic agents to skin areas.

Paying attention to your own health and avoiding increased stress during the recovery period allows the mesotherapy session to end without negative consequences for the body.

In some cases, additional treatment of skin areas with healing agents may be necessary. If swelling is present, use cold compresses or diuretic teas. All medications used during this period must be prescribed by a doctor. The use of folk remedies is undesirable. After a week, you can undergo an anti-cellulite massage session.

Reviews

Most girls who have used a mesoscooter at home note that the device is effective against cellulite, postpartum stretch marks, and “breeches” on the hips. The skin in problem areas becomes smooth, elastic, pigment spots and small blemishes disappear. Body contours are modeled.

Ladies with a pronounced defect admit that independent procedures with a mesoscooter are less effective than salon procedures. They are good to carry out as auxiliary, preparatory ones before going to a specialized medical institution. Women with a low pain threshold or overly sensitive dermis experienced severe pain during manipulation. Sometimes even painkiller sprays did not help. If you endure the discomfort, over time the skin gets used to the effects, and the pain decreases.

Mesoscooters have many advantages. They provide excellent results, significantly reducing the visual signs of cellulite. If the technique is followed, the manipulations are safe and do not require a long rehabilitation period. However, the list of contraindications for mesotherapy is quite large, so it is advisable to consult a doctor before starting treatment. This will help prevent dangerous complications. It is important to remember that a long-term effect can be achieved only when the sessions are combined with nutritional correction, dosed physical exercise, and giving up bad habits.

Technique and principle

The procedure is performed in the following sequence:

• treat clean skin with scrub and disinfectant,
• apply cosmetic serum, cream,
• use a sterile roller to roll the skin longitudinally and transversely until persistent redness appears,
• reapply the mesotherapy product, wrap this area of ​​the body with cling film for 20 minutes - the prepared skin will actively absorb beneficial substances.

In addition to anti-cellulite, the mesoscooter gives a pronounced reflexogenic effect. Multiple injections irritate the skin and thus normalize the functions of nerve fibers and relieve tension.
