Our hands are one of the markers (like the neck and décolleté, earlobes) by which it is very easy to understand that the 18th birthday is long behind us. It is on the hands when we first meet a person that our gaze consciously or unconsciously falls. Therefore, you need to remember that the aging of the skin of the hands begins earlier than the aging of the skin of the face. This happens because the skin of the hands is very thin: just like the skin around the eyes and on the neck, it is almost devoid of a layer of subcutaneous tissue, which produces a sufficient layer of fatty film that protects the skin from numerous destructive external factors. In addition, such a film prevents moisture loss, which becomes a natural protection against the appearance of wrinkles. There is practically no such protective film on your hands.

In addition, after 25 years, skin renewal processes in the human body begin to slow down: the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers, which are responsible for firmness and elasticity, decreases. At the same time, blood circulation throughout the body slows down, which causes difficulty in skin “breathing” and, accordingly, nutrition of the skin. Gradually the skin becomes rougher and looser. In addition, over time, veins and vessels become visible through the surface layer, and tendons are contoured.

Pigment spots add age, resulting from the thinning of the basement membrane that separates the epidermis (the top layer of skin) from the dermis (the underlying layer of skin). As a result, the pigment embedded in the deep layers of the skin begins to appear on the surface, unevenly forming age spots. Cosmetic hand plastic surgery can eliminate the entire range of age-related problems, restore skin elasticity, and improve the synthesis of collagen and elastin.

Hand mesotherapy – what is it?

The procedure is a subcutaneous injection of multivitamin complexes. Unlike biorevitalization, mesotherapy is more universal; injections involve the administration of various drugs and have a complex effect:

delivery of biologically active substances or multivitamin complexes directly to tissues;
launching metabolic processes and tissue regeneration;
improving blood circulation in tissues.

The effectiveness of the procedure is as follows:

moisturizing the skin of the hands, smoothing and leveling them;
filling both small and deep wrinkles;
elimination of primary signs of aging.

The basis of the drug is hyaluronic acid - a natural compound that is normally present in the tissues of the human body. It rarely causes allergic reactions, restores the skin's moisture level, and triggers the production of its own collagen in the tissues.

Hand mesotherapy is indicated regardless of age - it is prescribed based on the condition of the skin. In some cases, frequent exposure to water, sun and cold requires the use of injections at age 25 or older. Traditionally, women aged 30 years and older turn to cosmetologists.

How is the procedure performed?

The session begins with a survey, the presence of contraindications, individual characteristics and reactions is clarified. Afterwards, the cosmetologist selects the composition for injections based on the assigned tasks.

After thoroughly cleaning and treating the skin of the hands, the specialist injects the drug into pre-designated areas. Since the skin of the hands is very thin, the superficial nappage technique is used. Injection needle – SIT or mesoinjector. The depth of drug administration is 1-2 mm.

The effect of the procedures becomes maximally noticeable already by the 2-3rd session. The duration of the course is determined individually and depends on the patient’s age, indications for mesotherapy, and skin condition.

Preparations for mesotherapy

For injections, preparations based on hyaluronic acid are used, which replenishes the lack of moisture in the tissues, visually evens out the skin, making it smoother, increasing resistance to external adverse effects. Various biologically active substances can be used in addition to hyaluronic acid. For example, plant extracts with anti-inflammatory, whitening and other properties, vitamin complexes, amino acids, antioxidants. The high degree of purification of hyaluronic acid, which is part of mesotherapy gels, eliminates the risk of allergic reactions. An additional property of injection gels is the ability to fill lost volume, visually smoothing the skin.

Preparations and cocktails used for the skin of the hands

When performing a procedure in cosmetology, the composition of the meso-cocktail is selected by the master individually for each client. This allows you to achieve the desired result faster and safer.

The composition of the drugs used typically includes the following components:

Hyaluronic acid.
Vitamins.
Minerals.
Phospholipids.
Oils.
Organic acids.
Animal and plant extracts.

The mesococktail should not contain toxic and aggressive components, since it is introduced into the structure of the dermis and penetrates into the general bloodstream, which can negatively affect your health.

Recommendations after mesotherapy

Avoid intense physical activity.
Refrain from visiting the sauna, steam baths, or hot baths for several days after the procedure.
Sunbathing should be limited - for this, use a special cream with powerful SPF protection and clean cotton gloves.
A course of massage will be useful before mesotherapy sessions to improve blood supply to tissues and activate metabolic processes, but during the recovery period it is better to refrain from massage.
Perform all housework only with cotton-coated rubber gloves.

If necessary, a cosmetologist will prescribe a cream or gel with a healing and swelling effect.

Let's continue the series of articles about methods, procedures and methods of facial skin care that can quickly improve the aesthetic component of the beauty of your face.

This time we will touch on a facial rejuvenation procedure that is not losing its relevance and is in demand by both women and men - like mesotherapy (beauty injections).

The essence of mesotherapy is the introduction of a medicinal drug under the intermediate layers of the skin. The substance used is a vitamin cocktail necessary to nourish and moisturize the skin. Most beauty cocktails are based on hyaluronic acid, peptides, and amino acids.

The range of indications for the mesotherapy procedure is very wide: uneven relief, loss of elasticity, age-related changes in facial contours, signs of aging, as well as dryness, peeling, the appearance of unwanted pigmentation and rosacea. The procedure also reduces the visibility of small scars and scars and will help improve the overall condition of the skin. During the period of skin restoration after exposure to aggressive factors: sun, wind, dry air, mesotherapy is an effective method.

Mesotherapy of the scalp occupies a special place: it helps to strengthen hair, improve its condition and structure, as well as awaken dormant hair follicles and stop excessive hair loss or baldness.

Microinjections are carried out using the finest needles. They lead to irritation and actively participate in the renewal of the epidermis. As a result of the procedure, the following changes occur:

wrinkles are eliminated
skin relief is smoothed
eliminates skin laxity
improves complexion
dark circles under the eyes disappear
acne goes away

The method is low-traumatic, there are few restrictions:

bleeding disorders
allergies, intolerance to components
inflammation, rash, wounds
severe chronic diseases (endocrine, vascular, skin).

Age indications for the use of mesotherapy are 18-35 years old; for older people, it is better to pay attention to hardware cosmetology facial care procedures.

The procedures are carried out once a week, the course is 4-6 procedures, the course frequency is 2 times a year.

Skin care after a mesotherapy session: for several days it is necessary to avoid exposure to the sun on the skin, refrain from visiting the sauna, steam room, solarium, baths and swimming pool; suspend active physical activity. As auxiliary means of protection and restoration, use special creams recommended by a cosmetologist. By the way, you can always order professional facial care products online in the Boutique of the Philosophy of Excellence Beauty and Health Center

The cost of one mesotherapy procedure usually depends on the drugs used, their composition and quality, as well as the experience and expertise of the cosmetologist determine the effectiveness of the final result of the mesotherapy procedure. For example, the price of a facial mesotherapy procedure at the “Philosophy of Perfection” Beauty and Health Center today is:

using the drug Hyalrepair 2.5 ml (Italy, Russia) - RUB 3,500.
using the drug NCTF 3ml (France) - 7500 rub.

Very important!: only a cosmetologist can select a drug for mesotherapy and prescribe a course of procedures taking into account your individual needs.

Highly qualified cosmetologists with special education and impressive experience and work experience in the cosmetology department of the Philosophy of Excellence Beauty and Health Center, which has a medical license, including for the provision of cosmetology services, will answer your questions and give detailed advice - call, make an appointment and come to our Beauty and Health Center.

Addition to the article:

When asked whether men need a mesotherapy procedure, we decided to quote one of the reviews received by email from our Guest (male), who used the facial mesotherapy procedure for the first time. We hope you enjoy it and get the answer to more than just this question:

“...of course, carrying out a mesotherapy procedure for a man is still perceived as something alien to the stronger half of humanity, but this is a deep misconception and I was convinced of this personally. A trip to a beauty salon as a man was perceived by me as an unusual occurrence, but in my case the visit was still to the Beauty and Health Center (emphasis on health). When you look in the mirror every morning while shaving, you realize that time is ticking, and your passport shows far fewer years than in its reflection, on which traces of this time, worries, stress, and bad habits increasingly appear. And thoughts about a rejuvenating apple, no, no, yes, they slip through, and don’t lie to yourself or me that these thoughts do not visit every man, especially at the age of 40.

So, from thought to action, and that’s all, I decided to just look for information: laptop in hand - Yandex - search: of course, first about possible procedures for restoring and rejuvenating facial skin (it’s scary how many of them have been invented - and just facial massage (called sculptural), and some kind of peeling, and all kinds of hardware procedures, and injections (they are also called beauty injections). So I decided to focus on the injection method - mesotherapy: the procedure has been done for a long time and to this day is in considerable demand, and they write that men began to resort to it often, which means it is a proven method.

Next, I began to look for a salon that necessarily had a medical license, information about the qualifications and education of cosmetologists (and that it was a cosmetologist, and not... well, you understand), did not forget about sterility and treatment in connection with the covid situation in Moscow, and of course the price of the procedures. I’ll make a reservation right away that there are quite a few institutions in Moscow that satisfy these seemingly simple and natural conditions, then just a beauty salon: haircut, manicure, pedicure, then an aesthetic cosmetology center, or something else veiled as a medical institution, but without a license, then the price for salon services, especially in the center of Moscow, excuse me, it’s simply prohibitive, and the quality of service, judging by the reviews, suffers (but now I’ve revealed the trick with my wife’s card: here I have money - go to the salon, and there’s no money there, but there’s a wife again dissatisfied with how she was cut or served without due attention).

After painstakingly monitoring prices and conditions for the provision of services by salons and institutions in the beauty industry, I settled on yours (*Beauty and Health Center “Philosophy of Excellence” - editor’s amendment). Although not in the center of Moscow, it’s not far either - the journey took only 30 minutes by car and there are plenty of parking spaces. I won’t describe all your advantages, but there is something to write about: the interior ambience, the cordiality and respect of the administrators, modern equipment, the seriousness of the hardware park, and the staff’s attitude towards cleanliness, sterility and safety in the provision of services - everything that I read on your website, and of course doctors and specialists! I’ll say one thing: for the Koptevo region you are a pure diamond!!!—but that’s not about that, because in this letter I share more about my feelings and new discoveries for myself.

So, after I made an online appointment with a cosmetologist on your website, the administrator called back a short time later - she clarified the details and answered the questions that had arisen. By the appointed time, I was on Sailor Zheleznyak Boulevard near your Center with a beautifully lit, pleasantly blue sign. The door opened and a pleasant-looking girl invited me in, took my temperature, offered to treat my hands with antiseptic and gave me a new mask, which I was very happy about, due to the growing statistics on the spread of coronavirus in Moscow and the preventive measures taken at this beauty establishment. Having crossed the threshold, I found myself in a rather cozy, even homely, pleasant small lobby filled with light and gold, and noisy, bustling, hurrying and dissatisfied Moscow remained behind the threshold and was forgotten - calm came. After a pleasant conversation with the administrator and additional explanations, filling out and signing the contract (how many places have you seen an agreement for the provision of services signed in salons?) I was pleasantly surprised by the current discounts and promotions, by the way, not everything is indicated on the website - so if you decide (and I I hope that after reading this, if they post this somewhere in the public domain, many will do just that) I recommend that you still call and find out about the lucrative offers and promotions held at the Beauty and Health Center, for example, on your birthday, a 50% discount is not bad . Why do I talk so often about discounts and promotions? It’s simple: it somehow happened that the male sex doesn’t shell out much for their loved ones, but here there are such generous offers - it’s a sin not to take advantage, so I show male solidarity.

Soon the cosmetologist Irina Ivanovna Yurash came out: a very pleasant-looking woman (the saying a shoemaker without boots doesn’t fit here at all), as it turned out not only in appearance, but also a very competent specialist - an expert in her field: the author of books and articles on cosmetology (I bought her book for my wife as a gift - there was no limit to gratitude, I learned a lot for myself) invited me to her office. Here I can’t note the change in the interior - in the cosmetologist’s office (cosmetology department) you understand why the beauty and health center itself is a strict medical office, although it has retained a little style and the same colors as the lobby, white furniture, modern equipment, imported devices, there is a smell in the air sterility - bactericidal recirculators work.

After a survey about the state of health, what allergic reactions to, what illnesses, lifestyle, etc., they were laid on the couch (very comfortable, by the way, I lay motionless for 40 minutes during the procedure, no matter where I got numb - Finnish, as it turned out - no expense was spared on comfort and convenience for clients, truly love for your Clients is felt literally in everything) I underwent a thorough examination of my facial skin, accompanied by comments and additional explanations - thus I received complete information about the current state of my skin (it’s not as scary as I thought), recommendations for care, as well as products (creams, ointments, serums - you can’t remember everything, for this at the end of the procedure they give a reminder where everything is noted and entered - conveniently), possible methods of restoring the healthy appearance of the skin and directly about the mesotherapy procedure itself. Irina Ivanovna also shared some of her professional secrets on how to more effectively care for the skin and what procedures are best used for this, some of which, as it turned out, are written in her book, which is available for purchase in the FS (*Beauty and Health Center “Philosophy of Perfection” - editor’s amendment ).

After receiving all the clarifications, we went directly to the mesotherapy procedure itself. Oh, yes - mesotherapy is usually carried out with anesthesia, but I'm a man, what kind of anesthesia? - there’s no need, the effect will be even better. And you know, I gained a lot of respect for our women - what they have to endure just to please us!! This is quite noticeable, I’ll tell you, and I was not ready for this, the needle seemed thinner than a mosquito’s proboscis: several tears from the first injections into the deep layers of the skin flowed spontaneously on their own, although there was a smile on my face from new sensations and unusualness, and further “paths” of injections really only tickled. Although it’s still a spectacle - getting a tattoo wasn’t close. I will omit the details of the facial mesotherapy procedure performed for men, as I understand it is not particularly different from women’s, but I will focus on the last stage - a light facial massage with protective cream! The feeling from this procedure overshadowed everything you had just experienced: interest, fear, shame, pain, the tickling of a needle on your face - you are simply covered with the most powerful relaxation. First, you collapse, drowning in the couch under a warm blanket, and after a few seconds you are already among the stars, out of reach of problems, some unsolved problems, worries, thoughts. It seems like an eternity passes by this bliss from which it is impossible to get tired, but you open your eyes and realize that just a couple of minutes have passed and you are infected. You become infected with this relaxation, before which even an evening glass of excellent brandy and a cigar by the fireplace pales.

Yes, as the cosmetologist promised, it was not only me who saw positive changes in the skin of the face even after the first mesotherapy procedure: my complexion brightened and evened out: now I see myself in the mirror and not a dark blurry spot, fine wrinkles are gone, and deep ones have become less pronounced, the skin has straightened out — the tuberosity is gone. But most importantly, I became younger not only externally, which of course was noticed and appreciated not only by my wife and relatives: apparently that short-term feeling of relaxation helped me shake off a stressful state, look around and understand that there is a lot in life that is worth appreciating.

…

Appreciate women, men! Give beauty and health!

I express my deep gratitude to the team and management of the Beauty and Health Center “Philosophy of Excellence”
