Facial mesotherapy - what is it, indications and contraindications

Facial skin care after mesotherapy

It is important to understand that mesotherapy, although it is a cosmetic procedure, is a medical intervention in the body. And this implies strict adherence to the set of post-injection measures prescribed by the doctor. Only in this case the result will be long-lasting and without any complications.

Any injection, even made with ultra-thin needles to a shallow depth, is in its own way a microtrauma of the skin. This means that they need some time to fully heal, which, in turn, requires careful care of the treated area.

Depending on the composition of the injection (and it may vary in each specific case), the process of absorption of the active substances may take several days. Violation of the doctor's recommendations can easily lead to negative side effects, as well as a decrease in the effectiveness of therapy.

Cost of mesotherapy

How much mesotherapy costs in Moscow depends on the drugs used by the cosmetologist. On average, the price of a procedure at the Medial clinic is 4,450 rubles. Also, the cost of mesotherapy may increase if the injection procedure is combined with the use of a TDES device to deliver beneficial substances to the deep layers of the skin.

The type of drug is determined by the doctor, based on the condition of the skin and your wishes. You can also undergo the TDES non-injection mesotherapy procedure if you are afraid of injections.

General recommendations after facial mesotherapy

The rules for skin care after injections are simple and do not require significant costs. Widespread Chlorhexidine will need to be applied to the treated area daily (once a day). To protect against external irritants (primarily direct sunlight), use sunscreen with a high protection index. Finally, medicinal gels (such as Bepanten, or the well-known Panthenol) are used to speed up healing. If there are visual defects caused by injections (hematomas or bruises), it is recommended to use regular Troxevasin ointment.

At the same time, we must not forget about the presence of possible contraindications, so a preliminary consultation with a specialist (especially if you have allergies) would be a reasonable option.

Her Majesty mesotherapy

The procedure has been popular for over 50 years. The main goal is the correction and prevention of age-related changes. The demand is explained by its proven effectiveness, safety, and availability. Mesotherapy is based on the introduction of microdoses of drugs under the skin. These are liquid cocktails that contain various substances; they may contain hyaluronic acid , as with biorevitalization, only the amount is much smaller. Advantages of injection rejuvenation:

• safe, non-toxic components in cocktails;
• minimal list of contraindications;
• painlessness;
• wide age range;
• lasting effect;
• combined with other cosmetic procedures.

Mesotherapy helps eliminate many aesthetic problems of the face, body, and hair without surgical intervention . After a course of treatment, the skin becomes elastic, tightened, wrinkles are smoothed out, microcirculation improves, and the production of its own collagen is activated.

There are drugs that awaken dormant hair follicles and restore the health of the scalp and hair. In addition to solving aesthetic problems, mesotherapy helps to get rid of some dermatological diseases: acne, acne, rosacea, etc.

Mesotherapy can be performed as part of a complex of cosmetic procedures or as a separate manipulation. It is permissible to combine biorevitalization and mesotherapy as 2 complementary procedures.

What not to do after facial mesotherapy

The main restrictions after the mesotherapy procedure concern the first and second days. During this period, it is strongly recommended:

• avoid water treatments;
• show increased physical activity - during the rehabilitation period you will have to forget about gyms and fitness clubs;
• ensure skin protection from thermal effects - visiting saunas and baths, as well as direct sunlight, regardless of their intensity;
• refrain from using cosmetics (even those with natural ingredients); This restriction does not apply to medical products.

To summarize, let's say the following: each procedure (cosmetological or medical) is truly effective only if the recommendations prescribed by the doctor are followed. If you ignore these simple rules, at best the effect will be neutralized, and at worst, side effects and complications will arise.

Side effects:

• Hematomas (bruises). They can persist for 3-14 days, you can use Traumeel ointment/heparin/troxevasin ointment/Troxerutin/Badyaga forte topically to reduce the “blooming” period. !!! To prevent/reduce hematomas after procedures, you can take Dicinon (2 tablets/day 3-4 days before the procedure and on the day of admission), avoid taking NSAIDs and anticoagulants (except in cases of vital necessity), for example, aspirin, etc. 2-3 days before the procedure. You should provide your cosmetologist with complete information about the medications prescribed to you (!).
• Erythema (redness). Can persist for 1-3 days, you can use sedatives (with panthenol) 2-3 times a day, with pre-treatment with an antiseptic.
• Swelling, pain. Within 1-3 days. Use locally cold compresses, as well as decongestants that improve microcirculation in tissues (Traumel ointment / troxevasin ointment / Troxerutin).

When is mesotherapy needed?

Due to the multicomponent nature of mesococktails, the procedure has many indications. It can be performed on the skin of the face , head, body to solve aesthetic problems and even lose weight. Mesotherapy will help solve the following problems:

• oily, dry skin;
• flabbiness;
• wrinkles;
• bags, circles under the eyes;
• decreased tone and elasticity;
• enlarged pores;
• gray, dull complexion;

• shallow stretch marks, scars, scars;
• spider veins;
• dark spots;
• loss of a clear facial contour (sagging oval);
• cellulite;
• baldness.

Improvement in skin condition is noticeable after the first session; to solve aesthetic problems, a course of procedures is required - from 4 to 15 sessions.

Rejuvenation in biorevitalization

Rejuvenation is not a mythical concept.

It includes:

• deep hydration of the skin, which ensures the straightening of a fine network of wrinkles
• stimulation of the synthesis by the skin's own cells of the most moisturizing substance - hyaluronic acid
• increasing the synthesis of collagen fibers

Face lifting after biorevitalization

Lifting? The question is quite controversial:

• If you initially have a mild degree of distortion of the contours of your face, then by deeply moisturizing the skin, increasing turgor and reducing the appearance of sagging, you will really notice a general lifting of the face
• in the case of pronounced sagging of the oval of the face, the presence of a “double” chin, decreased muscle tone, unfortunately, there is simply no need to talk about “lifting” after biorevitalization

It is necessary to clearly understand that in the second case we will limit ourselves to deep moisturizing the skin, reducing fine wrinkles, and improving the quality of the skin, which is also not unimportant.

Component No. 1 in biorevitalizants is hyaluronic acid. It is an integral part of the cells of all living beings.

The concentration of own hyaluronic acid in the skin decreases with age.

That is why, in order to combat age-related changes, it is possible and desirable to increase the proportion of hyaluronic acid by introducing it from the outside.

• High molecular weight hyaluronic acid is most often used for biorevitalization
• it has a gel-like consistency, after the procedure papules form in the injection area (they are very similar to small manifestations, like after a mosquito bite)
• save papules depending on the quality of the skin and the injection area for 1-2 days

Course of procedures for biorevitalization:

• 4-6 procedures once every 14 days

When is mesotherapy needed?

There are indications for which mesotherapy cannot be avoided, these are:

• problem of hair loss or poor hair quality
• presence of pigmentation (for severe and extensive hyperpigmentation, it is better to combine it with the Fraxel laser)
• acne treatment
• reduction of the “orange peel” appearance of cellulite
• double chin reduction
• reduction of areas of local fat deposits on the body
• treatment of scars, stretch marks

Course of mesotherapy procedures:

• 8-15 procedures 1 time 7 days (depending on the area and severity of the problem)

Is it worth combining mesotherapy with biorevitalization?

Definitely YES, if there is evidence for it.

Eg:

• you can carry out 2-3 mesotherapy procedures with amino acids, and then continue the course of biorevitalization
• You can also use a cocktail with vitamin C for mesotherapy in one procedure immediately after birevitalization.

Contraindications to mesotherapy

The procedure is not carried out if:

• oncological diseases;
• inflammatory processes, abrasions, wounds in the area of ​​work;
• blood clotting disorders;
• pregnancy;
• breastfeeding;

• hemophilia, diabetes mellitus;
• a large number of moles, papillomas in the injection area;
• taking anticoagulants or other drugs that affect blood clotting;
• acute period or exacerbation of infectious and other diseases.

The procedure is not recommended during menstruation. Ignoring these contraindications may cause negative effects after the procedure.

How is mesotherapy carried out?

After consultation, the doctor decides to conduct a therapeutic course for hair. The treatment eliminates any surgical intervention, making the procedure completely safe and extremely effective. During treatment, special substances will be injected into the scalp.

Mesococktails contain special microelements, as well as special amino acids and vitamin complexes. It is also impossible not to note the presence of biological stimulants and placenta-based drugs. The solution is injected under the skin to a depth of one and a half to four millimeters, every one to one and a half centimeters. This procedure is carried out in the form of certain courses.

For dry, oily or normal hair, doctors select the most optimal meso-cocktail to solve the widest possible range of problems.

Mesotherapy: bathhouse, sauna, solarium and swimming pool - prohibited?

When carrying out anti-aging procedures, it is very important to strictly follow the recommendations given by cosmetologists. After all, any violation of the established rules can easily lead to the loss of the desired effect, and turn expensive procedures into a pointless waste of time. Fortunately, the effect on tissue during mesotherapy is always quite gentle. This means that the recovery period will take a minimum of time. For example, if mesotherapy has been carried out, you can go to the bathhouse a week after the injection of a rejuvenating or nutritional cocktail. Other influences may also well cause negative reactions. You will have to give up for a while:

• applying decorative cosmetics (for 1-2 days);
• carrying out massage or any other mechanical effect on tissue;
• going to the sauna, hot washes and masks, steaming;
• active physical activity - going to the gym will have to be postponed for a while;
• consumption of caffeine, alcoholic beverages, and, if possible, tobacco consumption.

Since the maximum established period of restrictions does not exceed a week, it can be considered as a period of cleansing and rejuvenation of the entire body.

Basic information about mesotherapy

Can be performed on the face and body after plastic surgery and laser resurfacing

Targeted impact on the problem area

The procedure is carried out without restrictions on age and disease.

Does not combine with decorative cosmetics

Anti-aging products

The effect depends on the selected drug, but is also directly related to the manipulation. Many microtraumas appear at the injection site, which triggers the synthesis of one’s own collagen and elastin. As a result, complexion, microcirculation, metabolic processes improve, and skin elasticity increases.

The components for meso-cocktails are selected individually, taking into account the condition of the skin and its main problems. Based on the principle of action, drugs are divided into several groups:

1. Vitamins – necessary for nourishing the skin and improving hair condition .
2. Lipolitics – break down fat cells.
3. Vascular - normalize metabolic processes, blood flow, and the condition of the dermis.
4. Lifting – help increase tone , firmness, and elasticity.

Taking into account the drugs used, allopathic and homeopathic mesotherapy are distinguished. In the first case, the cocktails include medicinal and artificially created components:

• minerals;
• vitamins A, E, B, C;
• organic acids;
• medications;
• fat-breaking substances;
• hyaluronic acid, etc.

Homeopathic cocktails are of plant origin, so their advantage is their naturalness (aloe vera, guarana, artichoke, etc.).

Types of mesotherapy

Due to its high efficiency, the procedure acquired several variations in a relatively short period of time. They differ not only in medications, but also in methods and techniques for introducing cocktails under the skin. By type, mesotherapy is divided into invasive and non-invasive, that is, the introduction of substances with and without punctures.

Injection mesotherapy

It involves the subcutaneous administration of drugs with the thinnest needles. The cosmetologist makes punctures according to the chosen technique: nappage, papular, “prick by prick”, etc. Injection mesotherapy is carried out manually and using hardware methods. In the first case, the cosmetologist uses a syringe with a needle to manually treat the required area, even the most sensitive one. In this way, you can carefully and delicately treat the areas around the eyes, mouth, and nasolabial folds.

The second method uses automatic injectors (pistols) that quickly treat a large area of ​​skin. The device controls the dosage and the exact depth of injection. It will not work on areas with thin skin, so the method is suitable for manipulating the body, especially in the “orange peel” area. With the help of an injector, the duration of the procedure is reduced and the pain is less pronounced.

Non-invasive (needle-free) mesotherapy

The needle-free look is an alternative to the classic procedure, ideal for those who are afraid of injections but want to rejuvenate their skin . Cocktails or ready-made preparations are also used, but they are injected into the skin without the use of needles. Mesococktails are applied to the skin, and the active substances of the drug penetrate inside.

The cosmetologist selects the type of non-invasive mesotherapy individually:

• electroporation – penetration of drugs through the skin due to electrical impulses;
• magnetophoresis – exposure to low-frequency magnetic fields;
• iontophoresis - weak galvanic current discharges help substances enter the dermis, as well as improve microcirculation and metabolism;
• oxygen mesotherapy – targeted driving of a cocktail with a powerful stream of pure oxygen;
• laser mesotherapy - under the influence of a laser beam, the skin quickly absorbs hyaluronic acid and other components of cocktails.

To enhance the effect, peeling is often carried out before the procedure to cleanse the skin and pores. Unlike injection mesotherapy, more sessions will be required to obtain a lasting result from a non-invasive procedure.

With non-invasive mesotherapy, there is no rehabilitation period and no special care is needed, since the skin has not been injected.
