Facial skin mesotherapy: pros and cons, results and reviews from doctors

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.

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 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;

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.

Possible negative consequences

The concept of side effects is quite often associated with mesotherapy. Patient reviews often contain questions about whether or not to do a second procedure if negative consequences appeared after the first time. In fact, there is no need to be afraid of such manifestations; the human body reacts to the intervention and activates its resources, which is also very beneficial for skin rejuvenation.

What are the most common consequences of mesotherapy? The negative effect of the procedure can be expressed in such phenomena as:

swelling;
bruises;
papules and redness;
moderate pain.

The procedure has many advantages:

Safe composition of the drug;

Increased skin turgor;
Improved complexion;
Help in treating acne;
Elimination of rosacea;
Normalization of sebum production;

A small number of contraindications.

Rehabilitation and possible complications

The principle of mesotherapy is based on the introduction of the drug into the deep layers of the dermis. Accordingly, minor trauma to the skin and tissues is inevitable. Recovery takes some time.

It is worth remembering the influence of the mesotherapy cocktail. Everything must be done to maximize the absorption of nutrients and eliminate factors that impede this. Neglecting prohibitions during the rehabilitation period is fraught with complications.

What not to do after facial mesotherapy

Doctors Telos Beauty prof. It is recommended to follow a number of rules to speed up recovery:

Limiting physical activity. Exercising stimulates blood circulation. This means that water is retained in the facial tissues, redness and swelling increase. A number of useful components are excreted through sweat, and injection wounds heal more slowly due to overheating.
Alcohol consumption. For regeneration, the condition of the vascular system and the general well-being of the patient are important. Alcoholic drinks and coffee negatively affect the body, contributing to the appearance of new bruises and irritation on the skin. Ignoring this requirement can lead to a delayed appearance of an allergic reaction and swelling.
Contact of the treated skin area with other surfaces. Even light touches can trigger inflammation. For this reason, facial massage and peeling should be avoided until complete recovery. You should sleep on your back, avoiding skin contact with the pillow. Swimming in the pool and open water is also prohibited.
Warming up the skin. Visiting a bathhouse, sauna, or solarium has a negative impact on the healing of microwounds. The likelihood of inflammation increases. In addition, beneficial substances are excreted through sweat.
Ban on tanning. The temperature automatically rises due to prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Melatonin begins to be actively produced, creating a situation in which several mutually exclusive processes operate simultaneously in the dermis. This causes inflammation and dryness of the skin, redness and pigmentation. Until the skin has fully recovered, doctors strongly advise against sunbathing, either on the beach or in a solarium.
Carrying out cosmetic procedures. In pursuit of an ideal appearance, patients often try to combine several rejuvenation techniques at once. Without waiting for the end of the rehabilitation period after mesotherapy, they risk losing the achieved results and encountering complications. Since the skin is irritated after injections, it is better not to aggravate the situation with peelings, hair removal, or ultrasound. You should also avoid decorative cosmetics - they can cause an allergic reaction.

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.

How to conduct a non-injection mesotherapy session

Cosmetological procedures differ almost no different from each other in terms of the principle of implementation. How is non-injection mesotherapy done?

The session is divided into several stages:

Preparation of the skin. Before performing non-injection mesotherapy, as before any other procedure, thorough cleansing of the skin from impurities and cosmetics is required. The condition of the skin varies among patients. Sometimes exfoliation is necessary to remove all the dead skin cells.
Applying meso cocktail to the skin. The composition is selected individually, based on the characteristics of the body and the current condition of the skin. Typically, mesococktails contain amino acids, vitamins, hyaluronic and glycolic acids, collagen and elastin hydrolyzate, microelements, organic components, placenta, and plant extracts.
Nutrients are applied using a special apparatus. Thanks to a certain mechanism of action on the skin, active substances penetrate deep into its layers. The duration of non-injection mesotherapy depends on the type of device. On average, the procedure lasts thirty minutes.
Recovery. At the end of the manipulation, products with a calming or cooling effect are applied to the skin.

Non-injection mesotherapy should be carried out by a qualified specialist in a well-equipped room. The procedure is prescribed in courses of 3–10 sessions. It is recommended to leave an interval of 10 days between visits to a cosmetologist. A month after the end of hardware mesotherapy, it is necessary to undergo a consolidation course aimed at maintaining the achieved result.

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.

What is mesotherapy?

This is a method of combating age-related changes, based on injections of special drugs into problem areas. The procedure can be performed by injection or non-injection. The first option involves introducing special cocktails of vitamins and nutrients into the middle layer of the skin. Thanks to the thinnest needles, the solution is injected to a depth of up to 4 millimeters. This increases its effectiveness and in some aspects makes mesotherapy an alternative to surgery.

The non-injection route of the procedure is less popular among patients. This is explained by the fact that the effect is not so pronounced and disappears faster. During the session, the doctor applies the drug to the skin and treats it with a device. This gives beneficial substances the opportunity to penetrate deep into the dermis. The non-injection method is suitable for eliminating minor imperfections.

What is the difference between mesotherapy and biorevitalization

The methods are very similar, but differ in the composition of the agents and the method of administration. For biorevitalization, gel-like preparations based on hyaluronic acid are used. Due to their dense consistency, they fill obvious wrinkles well, so the procedure is recommended for people over 30 years old.

During mesotherapy, liquid cocktails that contain various substances are administered. The cosmetologist selects the composition taking into account skin problems, age, and wishes of the client. They may also contain hyaluronic acid , but its amount will be significantly less than for biorevitalization. Due to the liquid form of the drugs, it will not be possible to fill deep wrinkles and folds. Due to the multicomponent composition, the range of indications for mesotherapy is wider.

Mesotherapy and biorevitalization can be used as two complementary procedures. They help improve skin condition, but have a different spectrum of action.

How to choose a clinic for non-injection mesotherapy

Now you know about the procedure, its advantages and disadvantages, even the estimated price for non-injection mesotherapy. All that remains is to decide on the choice of clinic.

What characteristics should you pay attention to?

Clinic experience. The longer she provides services, the more trustworthy she becomes.
Qualification of specialists. All personnel must have medical education. Retraining and advanced training courses will be a plus.
Diplomas and certificates. Both the clinic and its specialists must be present. Do not hesitate to ask for documents confirming the qualifications of doctors and the right to provide cosmetology services.

Attention! Does the medical center have regular customers, and are there no negative reviews on the website or third-party sites? Perhaps this is exactly the clinic you have been looking for for a long time.

Non-injection mesotherapy is recommended for people who do not like injections and avoid complications after cosmetic procedures. The method allows you to give freshness to the skin and achieve its rejuvenation without any discomfort.
