The injections are a cocktail of vitamins, minerals and pharmaceuticals.

They can help by increasing circulation of blood flow to a specific area, stimulating the production of collagen, as well as addressing areas of damaged connective tissue. The needles are tiny and are injected in several places in the affected area.

Because the needles are small and enter and exit quickly, supposedly this treatment is not painful, but you can have an anaesthetic cream rubbed in first to reduce the chances of it being uncomfortable. It can be completed within an hour and you do not need recovery time afterwards, hence why it is a popular choice.

The formula injected into the skin makes all the difference as to the results you’ll achieve, but a small amount of plumping, moisturising hyaluronic acid is a common inclusion to replace the skin’s natural stores, and vitamins and amino acids you’ll be familiar with from your skincare labels are also often delivered via mesotherapy. A typical mesotherapy blend might contain 50 ingredients to nourish, repair and rejuvenate skin, delivered via tiny needles or a mesotherapy ‘gun’, which sounds terrifying but is apparently painless during treatment, although a numbing cream may be applied beforehand to minimise discomfort.

Mesotherapy has many advantages. It eliminates the side-effects and contra-indications associated with many medications. Often medication intolerance is due to the fact that medication reaches parts of the body that has no need for it. Because the target area is reached immediately and the substance is at the correct concentration, the amount of the drug needed is greatly reduced and the effects can be realized more rapidly. The only side-effect is the possibility of minor bruising. Mesotherapy is virtually painless, requires no down-time, no bandages or an aesthesia.

Have you opened a new location, redesigned your shop, or added a new product or service? Don't keep it to yourself, let folks know. After a thorough evaluation by the medical practitioner, the target areas are administered, covering the whole of the area. There are various methods of injecting, such as injection guns, multiple needle administration apparatus and ordinary syringes and small gauge needles.

The injection procedure is carried out every two weeks for 8 to 10 sessions.

Before the Mesotherapy treatment

Do NOT consume alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to treatment (alcohol may thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising)
Avoid anti-inflammatory/blood thinning medications, if possible for a period of 2 weeks before treatment. Medications and supplements such as aspirin, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Omega 3/Fish Oil supplements, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve and other NSAIDS have a blood thinning effect and can increase the risk of bruising and swelling after injections.
Results from the Dermal Filler and Botox injections will take approximately 4 to 7 days to appear. Also bruising and swelling may be apparent in that time period. Sculptra does take longer to see results so plan accordingly with your provider.
Discontinue Retin-A 2 days before and 2 days after treatment.
Reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance if you have a rash, cold sore or blemish on the area.
If you have a history of cold sores please let your provider know, they may put you on an antiviral medication prior to treatment.
Be sure to have a good breakfast, including food and drink before your procedure. This will decrease the chances of light-headedness during your treatment.
You are not a candidate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

During the Mesotherapy treatment

Mesotherapy is one of the most popular skin rejuvenation techniques in the aesthetic market, it vastly improves the appearance of lacklustre skin and can also aid in the improvement of skin concerns. The treatment works by directly introducing potent mixtures of vitamins, minerals and active ingredients to deeper layers of the skin, as a result the skin appears plumper and achieves a radiant glow.

The treatment uses very fine needles to administer a combination of vitamins, hyaluronic acid, plant extracts and enzymes into the support layer of the skin, also known as the dermis. This is something that cannot be achieved by using skincare only.

After the Mesotherapy treatment

Avoid significant movement or massage of the treated area. Unless instructed by the provider.
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
Avoid extensive sun or heat for 72 hours.
Avoid consuming excess amounts of alcohol or salts to avoid excess swelling.
If you have swelling you may apply a cool compress for 15 minutes each hour.
Try to sleep face up and slightly elevated if you experience swelling.
Take Arnica to help the bruising and swelling, start at least 2 days prior to injections.

Mesotherapy rejuvenates from the inside. Unlike topical treatments – which treat the top layer of skin – mesotherapy works from within the skin to promote collagen, elastin, and cellular turnover.

Stimulated skin metabolism = tighter, firmer skin! Many clients report feeling tighter and more contoured after a mesotherapy treatment. As the skin’s metabolism increases, skin tightens, making the treatment area look slimmer and smaller.

Mesotherapy can be used for multiple trouble spots. Mesotherapy can be used for a variety of trouble spots. Micro-injections of hyaluronic acid can be used to plump the hands, neck, and chest area for firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

The treatment is surprisingly old! Is mesotherapy a new treatment? Actually, these injections were pioneered by French physician Dr. Michel Pistor in 1952, making this therapy over 60 years old.

Mesotherapy can complement your other skin treatments. Mesotherapy can be used as a complement to other skin care treatments, including skin peels, Botox injections, and dermal fillers.

Myths circulating on the subject of the procedure

Mesotherapy is often confused with injections of platelet rich plasma. Indeed, the way the preparations are administered under the skin may be the same, but the treatments vary significantly. In the mesotherapy under the skin are given beneficial substances either with a syringe or a special device with needles or needle-free, i.e. usually with the use of direct current or ultrasounds. Platelet rich plasma can be administered on the basis of mesotherapy, but also by other methods. Then, mesotherapy with platelet-rich plasma is mentioned.

The second myth applies to the use of mesotherapy only on the face or neck. The treatment is much more universal than we think. Most often it is the face that is undergoing it, but earlier also mentioned mesotherapy in the treatment of cellulite and stretch marks, which already indicates that its use is much wider in aesthetic medicine. Mesotherapy can be used to firm the skin on the stomach or arms. It is also effective in the fight against baldness or its prevention. It improves skin condition on the hands, which quickly shows signs of aging.

The subject of mesotherapy is also the myth that it is a treatment only for mature people. It probably arose because it is mature patients who decide to do it because of visible wrinkles and loss of skin firmness. However, mesotherapy can be carried out on everyone and the sooner the better. It is not only a treatment that reduces skin problems, but also great preventive therapy. The skin will retain its shine, smoothness and aesthetics for a longer time if we provide nutrients to it on a regular basis.

Only a series of mesotherapy treatments guarantees their effectiveness – it is also a myth. It all depends on what skin problem we face. Many patients feel the difference after the first mesotherapy. Of course, for the best results, it is recommended to perform the procedure regularly, eg every 2-4 months. Sometimes their series is used at the beginning, and then subsequent treatments affect the extension of results. The more advanced the skin problem, the more treatments it will need.

Although mesotherapy is widely used, it can not be carried out on any patient. The contraindications of the procedure include infections, allergies and pregnancy. Specialists also do not recommend it to people with very sensitive or thick skin because of the risk of irritation.
