One of the advantages of mesotherapy is the ability to combine it with other cosmetic procedures without harming skin health. Mesotherapy after peeling is a fairly common combination of techniques that increases the efficiency of absorption of nutrients in tissues, and, accordingly, accelerates the achievement of the desired result. However, let's figure out whether cosmetologists really consider such a complex safe?
Double benefit: nutrition and cleansing
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the introduction of special preparations into the structure of the dermis. They saturate epithelial cells with useful substances and awaken natural metabolic processes in tissues that slow down with age.
Peeling helps eliminate dead epithelial cells and renew the upper layer of the dermis, due to which, with subsequent mesotherapy, the efficiency of absorption of nutrients increases. They penetrate the epithelial cells much faster, saturating them with the necessary components.
Does the type of procedure matter?
Mesotherapy after peeling is now performed quite often and is sometimes recommended by cosmetologists to prepare the skin for the main procedure.
However, it is important to consider that there are different mesotherapy techniques:
- Manual. The drug is administered pointwise using a syringe and a thin cosmetic needle.
- Hardware. Mesococktails are evenly distributed in the dermis of the face, thanks to the use of a special apparatus equipped with a large number of needles.
- Non-injection. In this case, the skin is not damaged, and beneficial substances penetrate the skin due to the influence of electromagnetic pulses.
If, when performing injection methods of administering drugs, the combination of mesotherapy with peeling will significantly increase the effectiveness of manipulations, then in the non-injection method, preliminary exfoliation of the skin will not be of particular importance.
Also keep in mind that before mesotherapy, only light, superficial peels should be performed - mechanical or chemical. Sometimes cosmetologists prefer glycolic ones, but they are less common. This way you will avoid severe stress on sensitive facial skin.
Photos before and after
In the photo you can clearly evaluate the effectiveness of mesotherapy and see how the procedure restores facial skin in women of different ages.
However, keep in mind that in any case, to achieve the desired result you will have to undergo a course of sessions. A one-time administration of a meso-cocktail will be absolutely ineffective.
Procedure
If you decide to perform both methods, first consult with a cosmetologist so that he approves of your desire. This way you can protect yourself and prevent complications.
Peeling - chemical, mechanical or glycolic, is performed exclusively by cosmetologists. This significantly reduces the likelihood of severe tissue damage. Then the mesotherapy itself is performed.
The girl does not require any special preparation for mesotherapy; it is carried out during the session itself - the facial skin is cleansed of impurities and cosmetics, and then treated with a disinfectant solution of Chlorhexidine. When performing injection methods of administering the drug, an anesthetic is first applied.
Then the procedure itself begins:
- A selected meso-cocktail is applied to the skin in a thick layer.
- The master begins work. When performing the manual method, he precisely injects the drug into the tissues using a syringe. The hardware method involves the use of larger equipment that creates many punctures in the skin.
- The entire facial skin is gradually treated using the chosen method. This usually takes no more than twenty minutes.
- At the end of the session, excess meso-cocktail is removed, and the skin is treated with a disinfectant solution.
- A soothing lotion is applied.
Since the skin was previously cleansed with peeling, the meso-cocktail penetrates the skin much more effectively and quickly. Due to this, the session lasts 1.5-2 times less, and you will be able to notice the effect of the technique faster.
Effect and efficiency
Most often, girls begin to notice the first results of mesotherapy after the first two sessions. The skin becomes firmer, more elastic, toned, a beautiful, natural glow appears on it, and the overall skin tone is evened out.
However, keep in mind that to achieve the desired result you will have to complete a full course consisting of 8-15 visits to cosmetology. The exact number of sessions is assigned by the master. This takes into account the initial condition of the skin, the girl’s health and the effect she wants to achieve.
When performing mesotherapy at home, you will need 1.5-2 times more sessions. However, they are carried out much more often - 4-5 times a week.
Mesopeeling
Since the effectiveness of the combined effects of peeling and mesotherapy was noticed quite a long time ago, many salons now have an improved procedure - mesopeeling.
Its essence lies in combining techniques by adding glycolic acid to the composition of the meso-cocktail. It will create a peeling effect when applied to the skin.
The peculiarity of the procedure is that immediately after cleansing the skin, the composition is introduced into the upper layers of the dermis - to a depth of 1-2 mm. Due to such a gentle effect, the technique has virtually no risk of complications and undesirable consequences, and the recovery period after it takes no more than a day.
Beauty injections for skin treatment
According to the law of the Russian Federation, injection procedures can be done from 18 years of age. Upon reaching adulthood, you can do mesotherapy and plasma therapy for therapeutic purposes (at this age we are not talking about fighting the signs of aging).
Plasma therapy (PRP therapy) - the essence of the method is to introduce a person’s own blood plasma into the problem area. The plasma is pre-enriched with platelets using the ReGenLab apparatus. The injections trigger a powerful impulse for the regeneration of the epidermis. In young patients, this technique is used to treat acne. In older adults, for comprehensive rejuvenation: reducing the depth of wrinkles, improving the oval of the face, eliminating sagging skin.
Dermatovenerologist and cosmetologist Daria Bolgova performs plasma therapy.
On the contrary, mesotherapy is recommended after the inflammatory elements have passed. To get rid of stagnant acne spots, improve the condition and even out the skin after treatment. Injections involve the introduction of hyaluronic acid of low density and concentration. As a result: the relief improves, the elasticity of the skin increases, inflammation disappears, and the pores narrow. Mesotherapy is an excellent prevention of age-related changes.
“Beauty injections” not only rejuvenate, but also heal the skin.
Combination in one day
Despite the fact that peeling and mesotherapy combine well and do not greatly damage the skin, both techniques should not be performed on the same day.
Cosmetologists recommend peeling 2-3 days before the main procedure. This way you can reduce the burden on sensitive facial skin, preventing unwanted consequences.
In addition, especially sensitive skin after peeling often needs time to recover - 1-3 days.
Why should you give up exercise?
Even light meso-cocktails can give a negative reaction if you violate the traditional recommendations for this procedure for the recovery period. Going for sports on the day after medical procedures can provoke vasodilation, which can lead to accelerated elimination of substances introduced into the tissue. Another obvious risk is getting an infection, which can easily enter through open pores. Moreover, increased sweating during sports can cause skin irritation.
Of course, it is difficult for people who are actively involved in sports to give up training for a long time. But mesotherapy does not require a significant change in plans. In order for the results of a not at all cheap cosmetic procedure to be quite impressive, and for the money to be well spent, it is worth making sure that compliance with the recommended regimen is accurate and complete. And the patient will be able to return to training after the rehabilitation period is over.

Peeling after mesotherapy
Mesotherapy after peeling is an excellent combination, but vice versa? No, it is important to take into account that after introducing meso-cocktails into tissues, they need to be given a little time to recover, which is associated with mechanical damage to the skin when creating punctures.
If you exfoliate or use a scrub after mesotherapy, be prepared for a severe skin reaction. It manifests itself in the form of pain, increased sensitivity in the treated area, burning, peeling, itching, redness and even rash. Side effects are associated with a violation of the integrity of the dermis, after which it will have to recover up to 1.5-2 weeks.
Recommendations for care after injections
Despite the safety of mesotherapy, it involves a violation of the integrity of the skin. Because of this, it can lead to serious complications and side effects if the recommendations and precautions prescribed by the specialist are not followed.
There are not many such restrictions prescribed, but it is important to pay attention to them:
- Avoid washing and applying cosmetics for 4 hours;
- Stop smoking and drinking alcohol and energy drinks for 6 hours;
- For three days, avoid visiting the bathhouse, sauna, or taking a hot bath;
- Stop taking blood thinning medications and do not sunbathe.
You need to follow recommendations and precautions after each mesotherapy session, regardless of where you performed it - in cosmetology or at home.
Reviews
Natalya, 34 years old: Good afternoon. I have been doing mesotherapy for quite a long time – I started about 3 years ago and every time I am delighted with its effect. Last time, the master offered me a new type - mesopeeling, promising more obvious skin rejuvenation and elimination of pigmentation (which is what I am struggling with). And you know, I really liked the effect! After the first session (and this had never happened before), the skin became smooth, tightened, I didn’t even want to use cosmetics after it. I recommend it to everyone!))
Tatyana Alekseevna, 51 years old: I haven’t risked combining mesotherapy and peeling before, my skin took a long time to heal after mesotherapy, and then there was an additional burden... But I decided to do it anyway, and... I didn’t regret it! I liked the result, but I can note that the session itself was more painful, which is tolerable. In general, I will most likely repeat this combination once a year.
