Fractional mesotherapy of the head. Recommendations and contraindications

Age-related changes, poor environment, taking antibiotics, aggressive cosmetic procedures - all this negatively affects the health of hair. They become dull and lifeless, which is quite difficult to fix on your own. Fractional mesotherapy of the head is a technology that will help restore the health of the root system of vegetation and improve its appearance.

The essence of the procedure

Fractional hair mesotherapy is a classic type of procedure that involves the subcutaneous introduction of beneficial cocktails into the structure of the epidermis to improve the quality of hairs.

The effectiveness of the procedure is achieved through two directions of influence: saturating the skin and hair follicles with useful substances and awakening natural metabolic processes in the skin. Thanks to this, the hairs become soft and silky, and a large number of problems are eliminated.

There are two types of fractional mesotherapy:

Manual. A method is used for the targeted in-depth introduction of meso-cocktails into the skin, thereby eliminating pigmentation, dark circles under the eyes or other local defects.
Hardware. This method uses a special apparatus equipped with a large number of needles that pierce the skin and facilitate uniform administration of the composition.

To treat the scalp, hardware technology is most often used, since it ensures uniform distribution of the meso-cocktail, which then penetrates into the root system of the vegetation.

Recommendations for post-procedure care

It will take some time for the epidermis to recover after manipulation. Since fractional mesotherapy does not seriously injure the skin, special care during the rehabilitation period is not required. It is only important to protect the skin from exposure to ultraviolet radiation for 2-4 days, and also follow the following recommendations:

Do not use any decorative cosmetics.
Do not touch your face with your hands again.
Do not take hot baths, do not visit the sauna or bathhouse, as an increase in ambient temperature can cause the removal of medicinal products from the skin, as a result of which you will not achieve the desired effect.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight (it is prohibited to sunbathe both outdoors and in a solarium), as exposure to ultraviolet radiation may worsen the condition of the dermis.
Don't swim.
Do not apply warming masks.
It is forbidden to smoke and drink alcoholic beverages and strong coffee, as this can cause bruises.
Temporarily reduce physical activity (blood circulation accelerates during sports, which can cause swelling, and with increased sweating, the cocktail is removed from the skin).

These restrictions may apply for a longer period depending on the individual characteristics of the patient’s epidermis.

For two days after the procedure, you need to wash your face with warm water, removing excess liquid by blotting with a soft towel. At first, there may be a feeling of skin tightness, but after a few hours the discomfort will disappear.

If swelling and hematomas appear at the injection sites, you can wipe the area with ice cubes and treat with ointment. The bruises will disappear within a week.

To maintain the result achieved through fractional mesotherapy, certain rules must be followed throughout the entire rehabilitation period. During this time, it is necessary to regularly care for your skin using products suitable for your skin type and age.

It is advisable to adhere to the following recommendations:

carry out daily treatment of the epidermis with Chlorhexidine for three days after the manipulation;
apply one of the following gels twice a day: “Panthenol”, “Bepanten”;
protect the skin from exposure to ultraviolet radiation using special creams before each exit;
bruises can be reduced with Lyoton or Troxevasin.

A cosmetologist will help you create a list of medications suitable for use during the rehabilitation period. In the future, it is necessary to adhere to the principles of competent skin care based on hypoallergenic cosmetics with a light texture.

The effectiveness of the procedure will last for a long time only if you pay close attention to your face.

If you decide to undergo fractional skin mesotherapy, you need to weigh all the pros and cons of this technique. An experienced specialist will help you navigate the procedure for the session and give recommendations on preparing for the manipulations and the rehabilitation period after. This approach will significantly increase the effectiveness of the procedure, allowing you to maintain youthful facial skin for a long time.

Some general recommendations include the following:

Adhere to the principles of proper nutrition based on vegetables, fruits and dairy products.
Reduce the amount of meat in your diet, which will avoid swelling and speed up wound healing.
Proper sleep promotes faster restoration of the skin.
Drinking enough water helps medicinal cocktails be better absorbed.

Don't forget that redness and slight swelling are quite natural after the procedure. The tips above will help you deal with them.

But there are situations when you should definitely consult a doctor:

The inflammatory process does not decrease, but only increases.
Special gels do not help in the fight against bruises.
Severe swelling appeared.
The redness lasts for three days.

A competent cosmetologist will familiarize you with all possible dangerous skin reactions so that, if necessary, you seek help in a timely manner without trying to cope with the problems yourself or letting the situation take its course.

Advantages and disadvantages

Nowadays, fractional mesotherapy is increasingly used to eliminate many problems with hair condition, since the procedure has many positive aspects:

Safety;
Long-term retention of results (up to a year);
Efficiency;
Minimal risks and recovery period;
The external condition of the hair improves due to the normalization of the root system.

In addition, mesotherapy has a cumulative effect. After the first visit, you will be able to notice a partial result, which will improve with each visit to cosmetology.

However, there are also disadvantages of the procedure:

Injection damage to the integrity of the skin;
To obtain the desired result, you need to complete a course of sessions;
High price.

What is mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is a cosmetic procedure that involves the intradermal administration of complex preparations specially developed for various purposes, which in professional circles are also called “cocktails.” There are mesotherapy drugs aimed at rejuvenating the skin of the face and neck, strengthening hair, treating acne and seborrhea, eliminating cellulite, etc. Therefore, mesotherapy of the face, scalp, and body is distinguished. But still, facial mesotherapy is most often performed.

This procedure involves multiple intradermal injections or non-injection administration of a drug individually selected for the patient. In this case, the entire face or only the most problematic areas are exposed, in particular:

area around the mouth and lips;
area around the eyes and eyelids;
chin;
brows;
forehead;
nose and nasolabial folds.

For facial mesotherapy, ready-made products are used or separately mixed by a cosmetologist for a specific patient, taking into account the compatibility of their components. But since new, improved preparations regularly appear to solve various problems with the skin of the face, ready-made professional products are more often used. As a rule, they include:

low molecular weight hyaluronic acid;
amino acids;
various vitamins;
minerals;
dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE);
antioxidants;
nucleotides;
regulatory peptides;
artichoke extracts, ginko biloba, etc.

When choosing a drug, it is necessary to take into account not only the age and type of skin, but also the type of aging, the presence of hyperpigmentation, rosacea, inflammatory processes and other factors.

The effectiveness of facial mesotherapy is due not only to the direct introduction of biologically active substances into the skin, which restore its elasticity, tone, have a lipolytic effect, etc., but also directly to mechanical damage to the skin. Small, numerous punctures provoke active production of collagen and elastin by fibroblasts, which are responsible for youthful skin. Therefore, those types of facial mesotherapy that involve the use of needles are considered the most effective.

Mesotherapy and biorevitalization of the face should not be confused, although they have much in common. The main difference between these procedures lies in the characteristics of the drugs used: mesotherapy uses products with low concentrations of active ingredients, while biorevitalization uses drugs with a high content of active ingredients, especially hyaluronic acid.

But you need to understand that mesotherapy is a medical manipulation that can only be performed by a qualified cosmetologist, dermatologist or dermatocosmetologist with a higher medical education. Only in this case can you be sure not only of the correctness of the procedure and obtaining a noticeable result, but also of its safety.

Indications for use

Fractional mesotherapy for hair is often used by girls for preventive purposes. Since it is absolutely safe and gentle, in any case the girl will notice positive changes.

However, there are direct indications for the procedure:

Excessive hair loss, bald spots.
Premature occurrence of gray hair.
Dandruff.
Split ends.
Oily or dry scalp.
Dullness, lack of natural shine.

After completing a course of mesotherapy, your hair will in any case look healthy and natural, even without applying additional cosmetics.

Composition of medicinal preparations

Fractional mesotherapy is equally suitable for all hair types: dry, oily, normal. The difference lies in the selection of the drug. The composition of the therapeutic cocktail is selected individually after consultation and examination. The drug may include:

vitamins, amino acids, minerals;
antibiotics and antifungals;
hair growth biostimulants;
anti-inflammatory components;
substances that improve blood circulation;
oxygen and enzymes;
hormones;
plant extracts.

The components are combined with each other to achieve the best therapeutic effect.

Contraindications

Like any cosmetic procedure, mesotherapy has health limitations, since it involves damage to the integrity of the skin on the head. If contraindications are not followed, there is a risk of serious consequences, which will affect not only the quality of the procedure, but also your health.

Quite a lot of contraindications are prescribed:

Skin lesions;
Diabetes;
Pregnancy;
Breastfeeding;
Poor blood clotting rate;
Fungus;
Inflammatory processes in the body;
Diseases of the cardiovascular system;
Individual intolerance to the components of the composition.

Despite the fact that mesotherapy uses hypoallergenic and safe drugs as standard, you may be allergic to them. To make sure that it is absent, you should perform a test - apply the used meso-cocktail to the inner surface of the elbow for 3 hours, then rinse and check the skin for the presence of a reaction.

Dermapen device: reviews from cosmetologists

The Dermapen device is a classic example of a fractional mesotherapy device for use at home or in budget beauty salons. It is easy to use even for ordinary consumers, and advertising creates the feeling that it is an inexpensive alternative to classic injection mesotherapy. You can buy a Dermapen device in Moscow from 6,500 rubles to 15,000 rubles (depending on the model). Plus, a disposable nozzle for each procedure will cost another 100 rubles, and, of course, in addition you will also need special meso-cocktails.

An example of one of the Dermapen device models –

The purpose of this article is not to teach you how to use the Dermapen device - reviews of which are both good and bad, but to give you the opportunity to evaluate whether this method is right for you specifically, whether it will allow you to achieve the changes in skin condition that you want to achieve. We will compare this method with classical injection mesotherapy, which is the standard for both skin rejuvenation procedures and the treatment of cellulite and local fat deposits.

The mechanism of action of the Dermapen device is

This compact device is similar in size to a blender and is quite comfortable to hold in your hand. There are several Dermapen models that differ from each other, for example, in the speed of movement of the working nozzle with needles, i.e. number of skin punctures per minute. In simpler models this figure will be from 3500 to 5400 punctures per minute, in top models - up to 10,000 punctures per minute, plus the choice of the number of speeds and the number of adjustments to the depth of skin punctures will differ.

The device is equipped with replaceable disposable attachments, which can have 9, 12 or 36 surgical steel needles. An important point is the thickness of the needles, and ideally it should be no more than 0.2 mm (which corresponds to the 32G marking). When the device operates, the nozzle makes reciprocating movements, causing microdamage to the skin. First, you will need to set the adjustment of the speed of the nozzle, which will determine the number of skin punctures per minute, as well as the adjustment of the depth of immersion of the needles - from 0.25 to 3.0 mm. And you will also have to treat the skin with an antiseptic and apply a mesopreparation to it in the form of a solution or gel.

After applying the mesopreparation to the skin, you turn on the device and begin the procedure. The nozzle will move, damaging the skin in a controlled manner, and thanks to this, the mesopreparation should penetrate deeper than if the skin was simply treated with serum or cream. But all this only looks good in theory. In fact, the main effect of Dermapen develops precisely due to the creation of microdamages in the skin, and only to a lesser extent through the use of serums.

The fact is that although the absorption of the drug through microdamage to the skin increases, this method of administration does not allow the drug to be deposited in the tissues. Those. the effect of serum penetration will be immediate. But when using classical injection mesotherapy, the drug is deposited at the injection sites and, accordingly, the effect of the latter in this case will last much longer. We will tell you below which drugs are best to use.

Using the Dermapen device: video

In the second video you can see the key difference between the operation of the attachment of a Dermapen-type device and ordinary mechanical mesoscooters. As you probably noticed, mesoscooters injure the skin much more, causing the skin not strictly vertical, but extended triangular damage, which heals much more slowly. This occurs due to the rotation of the drum with needles during the procedure. It is precisely because of this nature of damage that regular use of a mesoscooter leads to gradual roughening of the skin, but Dermapen will not have such a negative effect, because the needles enter the skin strictly vertically.

Important points –

In classical injection mesotherapy, several techniques are used, and one of them is superficial attack (there is a video of this technique at the link). In this case, the mesotherapist uses a syringe needle to cause a lot of microdamage to the surface of the skin, and at the same time droplets of the drug remain only on the surface of the skin in the places where the needle is inserted, practically not getting deep into the skin (24stoma.ru). Next, you need to wait until the drug dries on the surface of the skin. So, superficial attack is the most ineffective of the injection mesotherapy techniques, because... this method also does not allow the drug to be deposited in tissues.

The effect of anointing the skin with a meso-preparation and then making micro-punctures of the skin with the nozzle of the Dermapen device through this preparation will be equal in effectiveness to a superficial attack. Do not expect that the mesopreparation will penetrate deeply into the skin, and even in sufficient volume. The needles do not push the drug deep into the tissue, but micropunctures will slightly increase the permeability of the skin for the drug. That is why most preparations for fractional mesotherapy contain only not very effective low-molecular components, for example, low-molecular hyaluronic acid, which can penetrate through intact skin. The latter affects predominantly angiogenesis, and moisturizes the dermis quite poorly (unlike high-molecular HA, which can only be injected into the dermis).

Of course, to understand this, you need to be a mesotherapist. Those. in fractional mesotherapy devices, the only absolutely working mechanism is the word “fractional”, i.e. the fact that the device makes holes in the skin and the body responds to this with accelerated regeneration and collagen synthesis. Punctures of the skin will increase its blood supply, which will improve its trophism and oxygen saturation. This will also accelerate the renewal of the epidermis and improve the exfoliation of dead cells of the stratum corneum.

But as a method of introducing effective mesopreparations deep into the skin, it is not very suitable, and mesopreparations, if they are able to influence anything, will only affect the healing of microdamages, but they will not solve problems specific to these drugs (with some exceptions) . For example, clinical studies have shown that in anti-aging therapy, the best results were achieved when using Dermapen in combination with the L-form of vitamin C or products with retinol. See below for application diagrams.

As for everything else, it should be noted that the most effective components in mesotherapy are high molecular weight HA, DNA-RNA complexes, and some peptides, but they have too high a molecular weight and can only be injected into the dermis. Also, you should not count on the fact that Dermapen will restore and improve venous outflow and lymphatic drainage, activate lipolysis and slow down lipogenesis - when treating cellulite or local fat deposits. Below we will tell you what reviews of Dermapen are from cosmetologists and patients.

Will Dermpapen help rejuvenate facial skin?

Yes, it will help, but only to solve some of the problems of skin aging. Yes, by improving blood circulation in the skin, you can gradually improve its texture, complexion, and reduce the amount of hyperpigmentation. Yes, you can slightly improve skin tone and increase its elasticity. Yes, you can smooth out fine lines, but you definitely shouldn’t count on significant correction of wrinkle depth and pronounced lifting. All these effects are realized primarily due to the creation of microdamages in the skin and activation of regeneration processes, and not due to the penetration of mesopreparations.

However, clinical studies have shown that you will get the best results from using Dermapen if, a month before you start using it, you apply cosmetics with retinol or the L-form of vitamin C to the skin of this area (example of products - see the links below). Retinol affects approximately 500 different genes that control the proliferation and differentiation of all skin cells, including fibroblasts, and vitamin C is essential for the production of normal collagen.

→ Skin products with retinol → Skin products with vitamin C

At the same time, if you use cosmetics with retinol and vitamin C at the stage of preparation for fractional mesotherapy (duration of at least a month), then directly during the procedure you can use mesotherapy serum with the L-form of vitamin C. For example, this could be a drug VitaLine® from Mesopharm, which contains 20% L-ascorbic acid (a 5 ml bottle costs only 200 rubles) or similar preparations from other companies. Just keep in mind that the serum cannot be mixed with anything else.

Please note that Dermapen should not be used on the face and neck in patients with a tendency to form keloid scars, and also with caution in patients aged 50+ (at this age, enhanced skin regeneration often occurs with the formation of pathological types of collagen). The immersion depth of the needles should not be more than 0.25 mm in the eye area, and in other areas of the face it will depend on the thickness of the skin. For example, if you have thin skin or have rosacea, the immersion depth of the needles in any case can only be 0.5 mm. But if you have thick skin, then the immersion depth of the needles can be from 0.75 to 1.0 mm. It is optimal to use nozzles that have 36 needles.

Dermapen: photos before and after treatment

As for the use of regular serums with Dermapen, mesopreparations for fractional mesotherapy usually contain low-molecular substances that have greater penetrating power than high-molecular ones. Of course, some small part of the mesopreparation will penetrate the skin in any case, but look what happens with the example of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA). The latter penetrates the skin more or less well, but its degradation in tissues usually takes no more than 24 hours, and besides, it does not retain moisture in the dermis very well (the lower the molecular weight of HA, the worse it retains moisture).

If you are told that a regular low molecular weight HA lasts 3-5-7 days, then this is not true. The destruction time of high molecular weight HA molecules is a little more than 48 hours, low molecular weight - 24 hours or less (i.e., the smaller the size of HA molecules, the faster it is destroyed). In this case, low molecular weight HA mainly affects only angiogenesis and healing of skin damage. It is high-molecular HA that has a good moisturizing effect, but it is used only in injection preparations for biorevitalization procedures.

How effective is Dermapen for acne?

Under no circumstances should you use the device if you have papules or pustules on your face. Remember that under no circumstances should you injure any elements of acne with needles, and this is the main rule of mesotherapy in the treatment of this disease. But the device can be used to reduce the consequences of this disease, for example, to correct atrophic scars after acne. Reviews on Dermapen about the procedure in the presence of atrophic acne scars are indeed very positive. The immersion depth of the needles here should be 1.0 mm.

A particularly effective scheme for working with atrophic scars is that combines Dermapen with injection mesotherapy. In this case, at stage 1 we make injections of nucleotides, stage 2 - injections of drugs with matrikin peptides, and then every 2-3 weeks we use Dermpapen with vitamin C (L-form) for about 5-6 procedures. And, by the way, here it is also better to use nozzles that have no less than 36 needles. Well, then everything can be polished with peelings.

Is Dermapen effective for stretch marks and scars?

If you have stretch marks on the abdomen and thighs, devices like Dermapen are really effective and can significantly reduce their visibility. The immersion depth of the needles should be from 1.5 to 2.0 mm. But, if you combine Dermapen with nucleotides and matrikin peptides (as in the previous case), the result will be even better.

It should be noted that Dermapen helps to a greater extent specifically against atrophic scars after acne, as well as stretch marks (striae). Those. it is highly effective precisely in those cases where there is “minus tissue”. Of course, it can also be effective for post-traumatic/burn scars and scars, but to a slightly lesser extent. In the latter case, it is still better to combine it with laser resurfacing procedures.

Dermapen for cellulite and local fat deposits –

In these cases, Dermapen is indicated only at the final stage of treatment, when you have already restored microcirculation, venous outflow and activated lymphatic drainage, and also reduced the thickness of the fat layer. After all this, at the final stage of treatment, it is necessary to achieve tissue lifting and good skin tone, and the Dermapen device can already help with this (although in this case it is better to use it in parallel with injections of mesopreparations based on 3% DMAE and organic silicon).

But it is useless to treat cellulite and fat deposits with Dermapen, because... neither vascular preparations such as “Gingko Biloba”, “Artichoke”, “Rutin + meliloto extract”, “GAG Complex DVL Capyl”, nor lipolytics (for example, phosphatidylcholine, L-carnitine or deoxycholate) will simply be able to penetrate either the dermis or into the subcutaneous fatty tissue if you apply them to the surface of the skin and use this device. In addition, lipolytics are injected precisely into the hypodermis to a depth of 6 to 13 mm, and their superficial introduction will only lead to inflammation of the skin. Therefore, you should not expect normalization of venous outflow, lymphatic drainage, or activation of lipolysis.

Treatment of cellulite and local fat deposits can be carried out only with the help of vascular drugs for main and regional lymphatic drainage vascular injection, as well as lipolytics. And only injection techniques can help with this. You can read more about correction in the articles -

Is Dermapen effective for hair mesotherapy?

Hair loss in both women and men (in 50% and 90% of cases, respectively) is associated with androgens, i.e. male sex hormones. The causes of non-hormonal alopecia may be deterioration of blood supply to the scalp, impaired venous outflow, lack of vitamins, muscle hypertonicity, various diseases of the scalp, etc.

So, for non-hormonal alopecia, the use of Dermapen will be effective only due to the fact that microtraumas on the surface of the scalp will stimulate blood circulation in the area of the hair follicles. By the way, the Darsonval apparatus also works due to the same effect, only there microdamages are created by microcurrent discharges.

But with hormonal alopecia, improving blood supply will, of course, have a positive effect, but not too much. Androgenic alopecia is associated with increased sensitivity of hair follicles to androgens, and is determined by your genetics. In this case, testosterone, under the influence of a special enzyme, is converted into dihydrotestosterone in the hair follicle cells. This even more active form of testosterone leads to a disruption in the process of protein synthesis in the hair follicles, a reduction in the duration of the anagen stage, etc.

Therefore, for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, first of all, special medications and control of testosterone and estrogen levels are required, and conventional mesopreparations with vitamins and hyaluronic acid, as well as fractional mesotherapy devices, in this case can be considered only as a secondary remedy used as part of complex therapy.

Summary -

It’s probably worth buying Dermapen for those who have stretch marks, atrophic acne scars, or you just want to improve the appearance of your facial skin and at the same time save on the cost of professional cosmetic procedures. And of course you will get a certain effect. It is best to use replaceable nozzles of 36 needles (except for the areas around the eyes), plus it is advisable to buy a version of the device that makes a greater number of punctures per minute.

We recommend that you use disposable attachments only once, as prescribed in the instructions. Due to a large number of skin punctures, the needles of the attachments quickly become dull, and repeated use of the attachment will be very traumatic for the skin. In addition, you should not buy and use too expensive mesopreparations with devices like Dermapen - they still will not work even at 10% of their capabilities (compared to injections of these drugs directly into the dermis).

If we consider the cost of mesopreparations intended specifically for fractional mesotherapy, then usually the price of a 20 ml bottle is only 200 rubles. It is these cheap drugs that will be used in beauty salons during fractional mesotherapy procedures (on devices with a solution supplied to the point of contact of the working nozzle with the skin). And this is another point that should make you think - why the cost of high-quality drugs for injection mesotherapy ranges from 1,500 to 6,000 rubles per syringe with a volume of 1.0-2.0 ml, while the cost of 20 ml of a drug for fractional mesotherapy costs the salon beauty for only 200-300 rubles.

Technique

Fractional mesotherapy begins with preparing the scalp: it is cleansed, treated with a disinfectant solution of Chlorhexidine, and an anesthetic is applied.

The device used is also disinfected, and then the cosmetologist begins the procedure:

The meso cocktail used is applied to the skin in a thick layer.
The wizard adjusts the necessary settings of the device and installs it on the surface. Small needles make small punctures in the skin, facilitating penetration of the drug.
After 1-2 minutes, the device moves to another working area. This is how the entire girl’s scalp is treated.
At the end of the session, excess meso-cocktail is removed from the skin and it is treated with a disinfectant solution.
A soothing lotion is applied.

One mesotherapy session usually takes about twenty minutes, and after it the girl is prescribed recommendations for caring for sensitive scalp.

A week after the procedure, you will be able to notice the first changes - the condition of your hair will begin to improve significantly.

Advantages and disadvantages

Among the advantages of this cosmetic procedure are proven effectiveness and ease of use. also has a number of other advantages:

the ability to correct any aesthetic imperfections;
painlessness and absence of anesthesia;
minimal trauma and quick recovery;
almost no risk of infection of mucous membranes and skin;
uniform distribution of biologically active substances.

There are several main disadvantages of the procedure:

relatively high cost;
the need for repetition, mesotherapy is usually carried out in several sessions;
individual allergic reactions;
loss of effect over time.

The hardware procedure takes less time than the manual procedure and is more effective.

Watch this video about the procedure for lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid:

Conducting a session at home

At home, you can also perform fractional mesotherapy, but then instead of special equipment you need to use a manual unit - a mesoscooter. It consists of a handle and a rotating nozzle with a large number of needles. He makes small punctures in the skin through which the beneficial composition penetrates.

When working with a mesoscooter, regularly change the direction of its movement - vertically, horizontally, obliquely. This way you will achieve maximum effect.

At home, for subcutaneous administration, you should use ready-made meso-cocktails, which contain only beneficial, hypoallergenic substances.

Lip mesotherapy with toning effect

Toning lip mesotherapy is a romantic fashion trend due to its pronounced volume and stylish shades. At the same time, the lips look like after a light kiss, thanks to the “blurred” effect. It is achieved using fractional microneedling technique and the use of tints.

Lip mesotherapy with a toning effect allows you to shine at any moment of your life, even immediately after waking up. During the initial procedure, pigment is usually lightly sprayed in order to be able to saturate the brightness and intensity of the pigment during correction.

Side effects

Despite the fact that fractional scalp mesotherapy is an injection procedure, most often it does not have serious consequences and a long recovery period.

After the session, the treated area may only experience redness, swelling, hardening at the injection sites, as well as increased skin sensitivity. Side effects usually go away within 2-3 days, without causing discomfort to the girl.

And to prevent the occurrence of consequences after the procedure, pay attention to the skin care recommendations:

Avoid washing your hair or applying any cosmetics for several hours;
Stop smoking and drinking alcohol for 6 hours;
3 days after the session, avoid visiting places with high humidity and temperature;
During the course, avoid sunbathing and taking blood thinning medications.

Fractional mesotherapy procedure for facial skin step by step

Proper organization of the procedure requires certain preliminary preparation. You definitely need a consultation with a specialist, during which he will make sure there are no contraindications, select the appropriate meso-cocktail and processing technology, and also tell you about important restrictions.

There are a number of actions that need to be performed some time before a session of fractional mesotherapy for facial skin:

eliminate blood thinning medications;
remove alcohol from the diet;
give up cigarettes.

It is important to lead a healthy lifestyle. On the day of the procedure, it is advisable to cleanse the skin as much as possible, do not apply any cosmetics, do not swim or sunbathe.

Let us list the main stages of the fractional mesotherapy procedure for facial skin.

Stage 1. Preparation.

All makeup and dirt are removed from the face using special products, and the affected area is treated with a disinfectant composition. Light peeling is allowed.

Stage 2. Performing anesthesia using the application method.

If during mesotherapy the penetration of the needles is shallow (up to 1 mm), and the treatment area is located in the forehead, cheeks or chin, then all manipulations can be carried out without pain relief. There is also the use of local anesthesia with special drugs, for example, Emloy.

Stage 3. Application of selected meso-cocktails to the treatment areas.

Stage 4. Impact on problem areas with the device.

In the process of fractional mesotherapy, the depth of perforation is regulated by a cosmetologist. A large area of the epidermis or individual zones may be exposed.

Stage 5. Performing calming treatment.

You can soothe damaged skin with a mask, lotion or cream. In addition, a regenerating agent and a composition with a UV filter are used if the weather is sunny outside.

The whole process lasts from 20 to 60 minutes in a beauty salon. At home, a session may require more time, since it is more difficult to organize the continuity of the entire sequence of actions.

Doing fractional mesotherapy for facial skin on your own is strictly prohibited, as it can cause adverse consequences.

If the procedure is performed by a competent specialist, with high-quality drugs and good equipment, then the effect will be maximum. Additionally, to enhance the result, other cosmetic manipulations are used, which are reflected in the total price of fractional mesotherapy for facial skin.

Comprehensive services may include:

facial massage (including lymphatic drainage and LPG);
lifting with threads;
different types of cleaning (manual, ultrasonic peeling, combined, vacuum cleansing).

A lasting effect is observed after completing a course of 4–8 procedures with a break of 6–8 weeks. For prevention, it is enough to repeat the manipulation a couple of times. It all depends on the nature of the problems at hand. Treatment requires a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 15 sessions. The interval between them can be up to 10 days. The effect of a high-quality procedure can be noticeable throughout the year.

A competent cosmetologist carefully monitors the changes that occur and regulates the number of sessions. It is not recommended to do too many procedures, as it takes time to restore the skin. Immediately after fractional mesotherapy, the epidermis in the affected area becomes redder, like after a sunburn. After some time, the color of the surface is restored and returns to normal.

In 2-3% of cases, complications may occur after the procedure.

It is indeed a rare occurrence that the following side effects may occur:

headache;
lymphostasis;
redness of the skin at the puncture sites;
swelling;
allergic reactions to the drug (swelling, redness, rash).

Typically, these manipulations are tolerated very easily, without causing severe discomfort to the patient. However, it is better to familiarize yourself in advance with possible adverse reactions that may occur in response to the rejuvenation course.
