The neck and décolleté area undoubtedly requires special care. The skin in these areas is especially delicate and thin, so the first signs of aging immediately become noticeable in these areas. After 30 years, home care alone with creams and serums is no longer enough - more radical measures are needed, for example, a mesotherapy procedure.
In what cases is this therapy indicated:
- wrinkles, folds on the skin;
- fat deposits;
- decreased tone in the neck and décolleté;
- dry skin;
- pigmentation;
- flabbiness.
Mesotherapy of the neck and décolleté is recommended mainly for women over 30 years of age and can be an excellent alternative to plastic surgery for skin tightening. Lifting during mesotherapy is especially noticeable in the first stages of aging.

Procedure
Mesotherapy is carried out by injecting special cocktails to a depth of 1 – 2 mm. Typically, meso-cocktails include: hyaluronic acid, amino acids, B vitamins, alpha-lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10.
Injections are given in the cervical-collar area and décolleté area, thanks to which after several sessions a woman can look 5-10 years younger.
A full course usually consists of 6-10 sessions. During this time, blood supply is activated, metabolic processes are improved, and the production of collagen and elastin increases.
What is facial mesotherapy
Facial mesotherapy is a minimally invasive injection technique, during which a cosmetologist, using a cosmetic syringe, subcutaneously injects a drug that activates metabolism and tissue regeneration at the intracellular level.
The drug or composition for mesotherapy is selected by the cosmetologist individually, depending on the general condition of the skin, age, indications and contraindications. All meso cocktails include the following components:
- Vitamins. Vitamins C, E, P, and group B are useful for skin health and increasing local protective functions.
- Minerals. They help cope with problematic dermis, normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands, get rid of acne, irritation, and inflammation. The composition of the preparations often includes zinc, phosphorus, and sulfur.
- Plant and animal extracts. Gives skin firmness, elasticity, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibers.
- Synthesized components. A popular synthesized component for mesotherapy is hyaluronic acid, which provides reliable hydration and rejuvenation of the skin.
- Organic acids. For mesotherapy, the same acids are used as for peeling procedures. For example, glycolic and beer tartaric acids.

Efficiency of the procedure
The result depends on many factors, including the composition of the cocktail, the age and condition of the patient’s skin.
Cocktails based on vitamins and amino acids are suitable for young women under 35 years old: they will moisturize the skin well and fill in small wrinkles.
Cocktails with hyaluronic acid will have a lifting effect and tighten the skin.
For low tone and sagging skin and deep folds, it is good to combine mesotherapy with other rejuvenation methods. In particular, with peeling, ozone therapy, biorevitalization.
Mesotherapy for the neckline can tighten the breasts and make them fuller. However, before the session, it is advisable to consult a mammologist.

Benefits of the mesotherapy procedure
- The main advantage of the method is the possibility of targeted delivery of the drug to the affected area. This allows you to get the maximum effect with minimal concentrations of the active substance. No cream, emulsion or serum will give such an effect.
- Quick to use. You come to the clinic once a week and spend a maximum of an hour on the procedure. In this case, external agents must be used regularly, if not daily. As a result, you do not need to apply medicinal or cosmetic preparations at home, make masks, wraps and other procedures, the effect of which may not be so obvious.
- Visible effect after the first use.
- When carrying out a course of procedures, a deposition effect is created, which ensures a more effective and lasting result.
- Mesotherapy is carried out on an outpatient basis and not only goes well with, but also complements various technologies of aesthetic medicine - especially laser procedures.
Cost of the procedure
The price for neck mesotherapy starts from 2,000 rubles per session, and for the chest – from 4,000 rubles. However, you should be wary of various promotions and discounts, because... This cosmetic service cannot be too cheap.
The price of any cosmetology service consists of the cost of the drug and the work of the cosmetologist. Therefore, if you want to agree to carry out the procedure at a discount, then you need to make sure that the expiration dates on the drugs are valid, and that the drugs themselves are of high quality. There should be no chips on the ampoules with drugs, the packaging should be sealed, and all labels should be clearly readable.
It is also necessary to check the qualifications of the master: whether he has permission to provide such services. Some patients, trying to save money, entrust such injections to the master’s students. However, with such savings, the risk of negative consequences after mesotherapy sessions increases significantly.
How much does facial mesotherapy cost?
The cost of the procedure is calculated taking into account the severity of the cosmetic defect, the age of the patient, the expected effect, and the type of drug chosen. The cost of a mesotherapy session ranges from 3,000 to 5,000 rubles. But to achieve the most positive result, you will need to undergo a course of therapy consisting of 10 - 12 sessions.

Types of mesotherapy
In cosmetology, it is customary to distinguish between 2 main types of mesotherapy:
- Injection. The essence is the subcutaneous injection of a mesococktail using special thin needles. Injection mesotherapy, in turn, can be hardware or manual. In the first case, the injections are given by a device, in the second, all manipulations are carried out by a cosmetologist manually.
- Non-injection. In this case, the skin is not injured by injections. First, a therapeutic meso-cocktail is applied to the problem area, then the skin is exposed to a laser, ultrasound, cryo, magnetic or ion device. The procedure is absolutely painless, non-traumatic, and does not require rehabilitation.
- The advantages of both methods are undeniable:
- Injection and non-injection mesotherapy provide long-term results, so you do not have to resort to the techniques regularly.
- The procedure is suitable for patients of any age and gender. Mesotherapy can be used by both women and men who care about their appearance and want to maintain youthful and healthy skin for as long as possible.
- The drugs are well accepted by the human body. All important components and substances are delivered by injection directly into the skin cells, and allergic reactions occur very rarely.
There are practically no restrictions on mesotherapy. But before prescribing therapeutic injections, the doctor will refer the patient for a diagnostic examination, because in some conditions and diseases the procedure is dangerous. Contraindications include:
- pregnancy, breastfeeding;
- malignant and benign neoplasms;
- renal, liver failure;
- diseases of the cardiovascular system;
- acute infectious diseases;
- chronic dermatological pathologies;
- problems with blood clotting;
- the need to constantly take blood thinning medications;
- wounds, burns, other skin injuries in places where injections are planned;
- allergy to the components of the administered cocktail;
- weak immunity;
- chronic systemic diseases - diabetes mellitus, lupus erythematosus, HIV/AIDS.
Skin mesotherapy
Skin mestherapy is prescribed to patients with the following cosmetic and aesthetic defects:
- small expression and age wrinkles;
- dryness, dull color, pallor of the skin;
- acne and post-acne, acne;
- hyperpigmentation;
- rosacea, cellulite;
- alopecia;
- scars, cicatrices, stretch marks.
During the initial examination, the doctor assesses the scale of the problem, after which he selects the composition of the meso-cocktail individually. After treating the skin with an antiseptic solution and anesthetic, the drug is injected into the skin using special thin needles. If the treatment area is delicate, the procedure is performed manually by a cosmetologist to ensure maximum accuracy and safety of the injection.
The number of sessions depends on the patient's age and the scale of the problem. On average, 4–10 procedures are enough to achieve the desired anti-aging effect. The result becomes noticeable after the first session. The skin becomes healthy, elastic, smooth, moisturized, fresh, radiant.
Facial mesotherapy
Facial skin mesotherapy is indicated for patients with the following problems:
- deteriorated condition of the epidermis as a result of the adverse effects of natural factors;
- the need to restore the epidermis after surgical procedures;
- decreased tone of facial muscles;
- flabby, sluggish, overdried facial skin with characteristic signs of aging;
- fine and medium-deep wrinkles;
- double chin;
- acne, acne, pimples;
- pronounced fat deposits under the skin;
- nasolabial folds;
- swelling, bruises under the eyes;
- visible creases on the face;
- pale, dull skin;
- unsightly lip contour, insufficient volume.
Before the procedure, an allergy test is performed, then the operation is performed in the following sequence:
1. The patient sits comfortably in a special chair and relaxes.
2. The skin is treated with an antiseptic, then the doctor makes marks with a marker where beauty injections will be placed.
3. Mesotherapy is a painless procedure, however, in order to completely eliminate even the slightest discomfort, the doctor treats the correction area with an anesthetic gel.
4. Manually or using an injector, the cosmetologist precisely injects the mesococktail under the skin to a certain depth.
On the first day after mesotherapy, it is forbidden to use any cosmetics or be in direct sunlight. It is necessary to avoid swimming pools, saunas, baths for 7–10 days, limit physical activity, and avoid drinking alcohol and cigarettes.
Neck mesotherapy
Mesotherapy of the neck and décolleté is one of the most popular procedures, because in these areas the skin is one of the first to age, revealing its true age. Beauty injections will help to significantly improve the condition of the epidermis, reduce folds and wrinkles, eliminate local fat deposits and pigmentation.
Mesotherapy in the neck and décolleté area is technically performed in the same way as on the facial skin. First, the cosmetologist will assess the condition of the skin, then select a suitable cocktail that will help effectively solve the problem.
After cleansing the skin and pain relief, the specialist administers microinjections. After the procedure, slight redness and swelling remain at the puncture sites, which will disappear on their own after a few hours.
The average duration of the procedure is 30 – 40 minutes. The effect will become noticeable after the first session. The skin in the problem area will become fresh, tightened, and rested. Dryness and sagging will disappear, the oval of the face will become clear, pigmentation will noticeably decrease, and not a trace will remain of wrinkles. To maintain the effect, it is necessary to undergo a full course of mesotherapy. The number of sessions is determined by the doctor.
To avoid complications after mesotherapy, you must follow these recommendations:
- avoid contact of the treated area with direct sunlight;
- avoid overheating or hypothermia of the body for 7–10 days after surgery;
- refuse decorative cosmetics, aggressive care and hygiene products;
- do not smoke cigarettes, do not drink alcoholic beverages;
- stop visiting the sauna, bathhouse, solarium, swimming pool for 7 - 10 days after the procedure.
How to consolidate and enhance the results during rehabilitation?
Restoration of the skin after injections takes place at home and takes from 3 to 7 days. To speed up such a rehabilitation period, the following rules must be observed:
- It is prohibited to visit steam rooms, saunas and baths, as well as solariums for 1-2 weeks.
- It is not recommended to wash your face with hot water or take warm baths (the first week after the procedure).
- Limit physical impact on the treated area, do not massage, rub or crush the skin (3-5 days).
Patient reviews often contain not only information about the procedure, but also questions about how to consolidate and enhance the results obtained. It is quite difficult to find universal advice for every situation, so it is most logical to ask your cosmetologist with a similar question. As for the general rules, it can be noted that mesotherapy goes well with other procedures, but they require:
- consent of your specialist;
- completion of the rehabilitation period.
At home, it is not advisable to perform any manipulations. However, many patients perform simple skin massages, use elastic bandages to fix the problem area, apply masks and various compresses.
Contraindications for mesotherapy:
- cholelithiasis;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- allergies to cocktail ingredients;
- taking systemic retinoids, tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones;
- menstruation and periods a few days before it begins and after it ends;
- peeling - chemical or laser, less than a month has passed since the date of execution;
- malignant neoplasms and any infectious and inflammatory processes.
In the presence of diseases such as epilepsy and hemophilia, the introduction of cocktails is strictly prohibited. A pathological fear of needles may also be a contraindication.
Main stages of the procedure
Let's start describing rejuvenation with a procedure such as neck mesotherapy. At the first stage, the skin is treated with an alcohol solution and then with an antiseptic. Injections of drugs are carried out mainly manually; injections usually require no more than 30 minutes. As for the mesococktails used during rejuvenation, their typical components are:
- hyaluronic acid (responsible for moisturizing the skin, reducing wrinkles and preventing them);
- collagen and elastin of animal origin (replenish the existing deficiency, help cell renewal, create a stronger connective tissue framework);
- vitamins A, B, C, E (help in the fight against pigmentation, ensure the removal of toxins and prevent aging).
When it comes to eliminating a double chin, there may be several possible solutions. If you want to eliminate fat, it is recommended to choose formulations based on lipolytics; they successfully break down excess deposits and promote their natural removal from the body. Please note that such meso-cocktails should also contain components that increase skin elasticity.
The fight against skin folds is the most difficult; choosing a product for injections in this case is not at all easy. As a rule, to solve this problem, cosmetologists try to use compositions based on collagen and elastin, substances that in the natural environment act as a framework that supports the skin.
As for the double chin removal technique, the actions performed are no different from the algorithm already described above. To begin with, the skin is cleansed, treated with painkillers, and only then proceed with numerous injections.
In both cases, all manipulations take no more than 30-40 minutes. It should be remembered that mesotherapy involves a course of treatment. Its duration and schedule of sessions are determined by a specialist individually after examining the patient. On average, for a moderately severe problem, 7 to 10 procedures are required.
In what cases is neck mesotherapy performed?
Mesotherapy of such an area may be appropriate in the following cases:
- appearance of a double chin;
- expression lines on the neck, decreased skin tone, pigmentation, sagging and unhealthy color.
If in the second option the treatment regimen and the principle of operation of the procedure are relatively clear, then the prerequisites for mesotherapy in the first case require additional discussion. Thus, the formation of a double chin can be caused by:
- excess weight and the presence of fat deposits in this area;
- age-related changes that lead to loss of skin elasticity and sagging;
- Weight fluctuations that cause skin folds to form.
Of course, it is easier to get rid of injections if the appearance of an extra chin is associated precisely with excess fat accumulation. Skin folds are much more difficult to correct through non-surgical intervention, however, it may still be possible to improve the existing situation.
Possible contraindications
Before deciding on skin rejuvenation and a non-surgical double chin lift, it is recommended that you carefully read the list of possible contraindications. As a rule, mesotherapy is prohibited in the following cases:
- pregnancy;
- lactation;
- diseases of the circulatory system;
- exacerbations of chronic diseases;
- fever, elevated body temperature, viral infection;
- individual intolerance to injection agents.
Among other things, in some situations the effectiveness of mesotherapy is questioned by experts. It is believed that injections cannot help patients who have a large amount of excess weight with significant localization in certain areas. In addition, the effectiveness of the procedure may be minimal in case of irreversible aging processes in adulthood and in the presence of pronounced late-stage ptosis.
BEFORE/AFTER PHOTO
How is mesotherapy performed? Preparation for the procedure
After deciding to carry out mesotherapy, you must contact a qualified specialist who will examine the skin of the face and also interview the patient for complaints, chronic and infectious diseases. If the survey reveals no contraindications or allergic reactions, the doctor will schedule a day for the procedure.
Three days before mesotherapy you must:
- give up alcohol;
- do not take painkillers and medications containing acetylsalicylic acid;
On the day of the procedure, do not use cosmetics.
The procedure itself begins with cleansing the face and highlighting problem areas. Next, the doctor makes a special marking, prepares a cocktail and injects it into predetermined points (in the case of classical mesotherapy, the needle penetrates to a depth of 5 mm). If the pain threshold is high, the client may request additional pain relief with a spray.
