Beauty injections in cosmetology, or What kind of mesotherapy procedure is it?

The essence of the procedure

The essence of mesotherapy is the administration of vitamin injections that act on the skin from the inside, smoothing and healing it. Our dermis is not a vital organ, so all the nutrients we get from food are provided to other, more important areas. Due to a lack of vitamins, the dermis ages, becomes dull, and prone to various rashes. Experts suggested introducing mechanically all the nutrients that rejuvenate, smooth out wrinkles, and prevent aging.

Cosmetic companies promise to smooth out wrinkles with the help of various creams that penetrate deep into the dermis. But often these creams are able to penetrate only the upper layers of the epidermis. And the injections penetrate deep, removing the main source of wrinkles.

At the first consultation with a cosmetologist, the specialist determines your skin type and creates a recipe for a vitamin cocktail that will suit you best. The main active ingredients of the injections are:

• Hyaluronic acid – rejuvenates, smoothes fine and deep wrinkles.
• Ascorbic acid – evens out tone and removes age spots.
• Collagen, elastin - smooth out the contour of the face, restores the elasticity and youth of the dermis. The skin is capable of producing these elements itself, but with age, metabolism is disrupted, their production slows down, which leads to the appearance of wrinkles and fading.

The injections are sold ready-made, or you can do them yourself.

Anyone who decides to use this service needs to fully understand what will happen during the session. Let's take a closer look at how the classic version is carried out in the salon.

1. Initially, the patient is given a blood test and various laboratory tests to identify contraindications. The doctor determines the skin type, examines the patient completely, identifies problem areas, conducts an allergy test, and selects a prescription for injections.
2. Then makeup removal and deep cleansing of the pores are carried out. Using special creams, local anesthesia is administered and areas for injections are marked.
3. After this, the meso cocktail is introduced. The final step is to apply a soothing mask.
4. Acupuncture is carried out in courses of 5-7 sessions. Their number depends on the condition of the skin. During the course, the patient regularly visits the doctor, who monitors the effectiveness. After completing the course, it will take a week to recover. The next treatment will be required in a year.

Stages of the facial procedure

Fractional mesotherapy on facial skin proceeds as follows:

1. The dermis is cleaned of makeup and dirt.
2. The face is degreased and disinfected. If the patient cannot tolerate minor pain, it is allowed to apply an anesthetic cream, the remains of which must be removed before starting treatment of the dermis.
3. Next, special mesopreparations are applied to the skin, specifically to those areas of the face where the device will work.
4. With the help of the drug Dermapen, micropunctures are made for better penetration of drugs into the layers of the epidermis.
5. After the device has completed its work, special soothing creams or restorative (regenerating) masks are used.

Watch a detailed video of the fractional mesotherapy procedure with comments from a cosmetologist:

To maintain the results obtained, it is necessary to follow the rules for caring for the dermis, which are selected individually in each case. But there are general rules that must be followed: it is forbidden to use decorative cosmetics for several days after the session, it is undesirable to touch your face with your hands, you should not visit the sauna for several days after the session, you should protect your skin from the sun and limit physical activity, and you should not drink alcohol.

Kinds

The most effective way to get vitamin cocktails under the skin is to insert them with a needle. But there are other methods designed for those who are afraid of one type of needle. Let's look at all existing types.

Classic injection mesotherapy of the face involves the doctor injecting cocktails into different depths of the skin. This procedure is performed manually under local anesthesia. For the ideal effect, you need to complete a course of several sessions.

Hardware facial mesotherapy is the penetration of beneficial substances into the deep layers of the dermis without needles. These sessions are carried out using electrophoresis, laser exposure, and phono cutter. Outgoing sound waves affect the pores so that all useful substances are able to penetrate deep inside.

Oxygen facial mesotherapy is the penetration of beneficial vitamins under the skin using oxygen pressure. After cleansing and opening the pores, a vitamin cocktail is distributed over the dermis, then using a special apparatus, all areas are treated with an oxygen flow, maintaining a pressure of 2 atmospheres. It is worth considering that under oxygen pressure substances are able to penetrate only into the upper and middle layers of the epidermis, leaving deeper ones untouched.

There is another type of facial rejuvenation, which is very similar to non-injection mesotherapy - biorevitalization. On our website you can find out more about it, read reviews and the main differences between biorevitalization and mesotherapy.

Indications for use

Knowing in what cases the procedure is prescribed will help each person understand what it is and whether there is a need for such an effect. As a rule, fractional facial mesotherapy is recommended if:

• loss of elasticity of the dermis along the contour of the face;
• oily skin type of face and scalp;

How to do facial mesotherapy at home

This procedure can be done independently at home, but you must take responsibility, because if the drug is administered incorrectly, you can seriously harm yourself.

For the session you will need

• For home use you need a special mesoscooter. It is a roller with densely packed, very thin needles. For home use, it is recommended to take needles no longer than 0.2-0.5 mm.

• You can purchase a meso cocktail ready-made or make it yourself. Its best composition will be hyaluronic acid, rosehip oil, collagen.

• Chlorhexidine has an antibacterial effect.

• Panthenol will calm the dermis after the session.

Step-by-step instruction

1. Wash well, remove makeup. Perform a light scrub and steam your face to open the pores well. For this it is better to use a herbal decoction.
2. Treat the mesoscooter with chlorhexidine and let it dry.
3. Using cotton pads, treat your face with chlorhexidine to prevent infection.
4. Spread the meso cocktail evenly over the surface and leave for 5 minutes.
5. Based on the facial massage lines, massage with a mesoscooter, move it up and down, left and right. If there are significant problems on the skin, pay more attention to them. The roller pierces the skin, activating the production of collagen and elastin. The beneficial substances of the meso cocktail penetrate better under the skin.
6. After treatment, lie quietly for 15 minutes. Wash your face with cold water, wipe your face with chlorhexidine, then apply panthenol, it soothes and relieves redness.

For maximum effect, it is recommended to take a 5-day course with an interval of 7 days.

Characteristics of components

Mesococktails have a targeted, long-lasting effect and differ in the amount of substances. Monopreparations contain one component (for example, silicon - 0.5% Veluderm). Complex preparations contain bioactive substances to solve problems in specific areas (for example, to correct cellulite or reduce stretch marks). Individual cocktails are independently selected by a specialist depending on the goals.

Mesococktails for weight loss also differ in the type of components. Allopathic ones contain synthetic ingredients of vitamins, minerals, lipolytics, and enzymes. The compositions burn fat and saturate tissues with nutrients. Homeopathic medicines include only natural ingredients of animal or plant origin.

Some meso-cocktails activate acupuncture points along the spine. Local ones affect target areas of the body, for example, the abdomen, waist, riding breeches, hips, and inner surface of the arms.

Vascular and drainage substances in meso-cocktails are used to reduce swelling and activate blood circulation (artichoke extract, rutin + melito). For example, NEOvial Artichoke 2%, Mesoestetic Alcachora.

Mesococktails are also used for chemical liposuction (intralipotherapy) and cellulite correction (lipodystrophy). When they are used, fat cells are destroyed and split (phosphatidylcholine, caffeine, L-carnitine, deoxycholate). For example, Mesoestetic L-carnitine, Mesostabil Mesoestetic.

Vitamins, DMAE, hyaluronic acid, and collagen are also used in meso-cocktails to stimulate skin tightening. For example, Mesoderm DMAE and vitamin C.

Mesococktails act on connective tissue, loosen scars and adhesions between lobules of adipose tissue. For example, Veluderm Strengthening cocktail.

The price of sessions is complex depending on the tasks, course of procedures, type and quantity of drugs.

The advantages include a short recovery period. Within an hour the patient can return to his normal lifestyle.

The only disadvantages include the high cost of the full course, carried out in a beauty salon, as well as many contraindications.

Lipolytic mesotherapy is one of the most effective procedures for improving the figure and correcting body weight. In addition, after using lipolytics, a rejuvenating effect appears on the fifth day. After the first administration of the drugs, fatty tissue begins to actively break down, as a result of which the skin becomes more elastic, its contour is evened out and tightened.

To prevent the development of complications, in no case should you exceed the permissible dosage to speed up the process. It is also recommended to contact only trusted clinics, where the doctor will have special permission to perform such manipulation.

Mesotherapy regimens for weight loss

Mesodrainage and vascular therapy is the first stage in the amount of 3-4 procedures with a total volume of injection into one zone of 5 ml. Both main piercing (along the spine, external and internal surfaces of the thighs and legs) and local piercing (impact on certain areas) is carried out. Injections eliminate congestion, soften fat and improve tissue trophism. Ginkgo biloba, rutin + melilot extract, artichoke are used. For example, Veluderm Natural Reducing, Ginkgo Biloba Care Kosmoteros.

Mesolipolysis is the second intermediate stage in the form of 6-8 procedures to correct local fat deposits, reduce areas of compaction and normalize metabolic processes. Both direct lipolytics (for example, phosphatidylcholine - Veluderm Phosphatidylcholine) and indirect ones (for example, caffeine - Veluderm Reducing Caffeine, L-carnitine - Kosmolitic I-II) are used. The injected volume is 10 ml. Additionally, peptides are prescribed - Dermahil LL, deoxycholate - Kosmolitic III-IV (the drug is best administered into the abdomen and sides at intervals of 1 time every 3 weeks, since in other areas it causes pockets of compaction with a change in the skin texture).

Mesolifting is the final program for strengthening the skin. 3-4 procedures are carried out with an interval of 1 time per week, using preparations with DMAE, amino acids, peptides, and vitamins. For example, Mesoestetic DMAE 3%.
