The essence of the procedure
Mesotherapy is the introduction of beneficial substances into the deep layers of the skin. For this, a syringe, an electrophoresis apparatus, and a roller with needles made of precious metals are used. The method allows you to improve the health of your face, hair, hands, buttocks, neck, and décolleté. At the same time, the internal reserves of the body are activated, which ensures a pronounced lasting result.
Many preparations for the procedure are made based on hyaluronic acid. This substance is produced in the human body and performs the functions of a framework. In addition, it acts like a sponge, retaining moisture in the tissues.
Thanks to this, peeling disappears and wrinkles are smoothed out. The large size of the molecules prevents sodium hyaluronate from leaking through the surface of the skin. Therefore, the best way to penetrate deeper is injections of 1-3 mm.
Benefits and types
Unlike conventional cosmetic procedures, facial mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid is a complete treatment, as it combines the traditional technique of oriental healers (acupuncture) and modern technologies, namely the use of biologically active components. This amazing combination guarantees a 100% result, provided that the procedure is carried out correctly and all the doctor’s recommendations are followed.
By completing a course of facial mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid, you can achieve:
- moisturizing the skin with subsequent retention of moisture in the cells;
- fresh-looking facial skin;
- eliminating the first facial wrinkles;
- improving the condition of oily skin;
- smoothing out deep wrinkles;
- whitening pigmentation;
- eliminate acne;
- treatment of spider veins;
- getting rid of bruises under the eyes and swelling in this area;
- care of unhealthy facial redness;
- eliminating acne scars and small scars;
- Elimination of sun and thermal burns on the face.
Mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid goes well with other procedures, peeling and contouring.
But how the mesotherapy procedure for the face is carried out and to whom it is prescribed first is indicated here.
The above results can be achieved in two ways - manual and hardware. The manual technique involves administering injections by a cosmetologist who marks problem areas of the skin in advance. The hardware technique is carried out using a special apparatus with needles of different thicknesses.
There is also a non-injection method of mesotherapy. In order to avoid unpleasant painful sensations, a non-injection type of procedure is used; it consists of applying a vitamin cocktail directly to the skin of the face. Since the acid itself does not penetrate into the deeper layers, the cocktail is exposed to ultrasound, laser or magnetic waves. This is a low-traumatic method of performing the procedure, but the duration of its action is significantly reduced in comparison with the traditional method. But what is the best way to use mesotherapy or biorevitalization, and how effective this or that procedure is, is outlined here.
The video shows a non-injection method of mesotherapy:
Preparations based on hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid in mesotherapy can be used in pure form or as part of additional cocktails. If the skin needs additional nourishment, hyaluronic acid will be used for mesotherapy in combination with retinol, anti-aging tocopherol, ascorbic acid to increase the body's immune properties, and B vitamins. If there is a risk of complications or a person has very sensitive skin, hyaluronic acid is administered with peptides , which accelerate the process of skin regeneration and make it easier to tolerate mechanical stress on it. It will also be useful for you to learn about how vitamin C mesotherapy is carried out and what results can be achieved from such a procedure.
Indications for use
Mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid is indicated for women over 35 years of age. At this age, the natural production of the substance slows down. Such injections help cope with the following problems:
- the appearance of wrinkles;
- sagging, sagging skin;
- dryness and flaking;
- thinning, brittle hair;
- folds on the hands.
After 55 years, hyaluronic acid injections no longer show significant results. They slow down the aging process, but cannot completely get rid of age spots and wrinkles.
Bruises after mesotherapy
You cannot call care after facial mesotherapy a period of recovery, much less rehabilitation.
There is no “rehabilitation” here. Mesotherapy does not injure the skin, does not violate its barrier properties, and does not lead to microdamage to fibers or connective tissue cells. There is not even exfoliation of dead cells after mesotherapy. Mesotherapy is one of the most gentle and gentle methods of aesthetic medicine. It is based on the injection of nutritional cocktails of amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins, growth factors, and hyaluronic acid into the middle layers of the dermis. Injections during injections are the only “traumatic” factor.
Bruises after mesotherapy are very rare. In cellulite correction programs, small hematomas may form after the administration of mesotherapy drugs, but they disappear within a couple of days.
Bruises after facial mesotherapy can be caused by one of two reasons. Either the procedure is performed by an unqualified cosmetologist, or you have weak blood vessels and reduced blood clotting. By the way, a blood clotting disorder is a contraindication to mesotherapy, and carrying out the procedure against the background of problems with hemostasis says a lot about the qualifications of the cosmetologist.
If you follow all the rules for introducing meso-cocktails, the rejuvenation course takes place without the slightest discomfort. Only slight swelling and hyperemia of the skin is possible for a couple of hours after the procedure. However, this does not mean that you can neglect the doctor’s recommendations and ignore all the rules of skin care after mesotherapy. The effectiveness of the course depends on this, so you better know what you can and cannot do after mesotherapy. We have prepared answers to 6 frequently asked questions.
Kinds
Hyaluronic acid can be delivered deep into the skin in different ways.
Classical
During the sessions, the cosmetologist makes injections manually. He uses a syringe with a thin needle and injects the drug at an angle of 45° to a depth of 1-3 mm. For some areas of the body (hands, neck, area under the eyes) this method is the only possible one.
On thicker skin, injections can be made with a manipulator with an attachment of 10-15 needles. Thanks to it, the entire fraction is covered, and the procedure time is reduced.
Non-invasive
For clients with a low pain threshold, doctors recommend a method of delivering acid without punctures. For this purpose, electrophoresis and iontophoresis devices are used. They consist of a power supply and electrodes attached to it.
The nozzles are attached to the skin moistened with the drug, and current pulses push the beneficial liquid into the deep layers.
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.
Preparations with sodium hyaluronate
Hyaluronic acid is sold in liquid form. But more often cosmetologists use cocktails based on it.
Pharmacy
Pharmacies sell ampoules and bottles of hyaluronic acid. For example, the Swiss company Tete Cosmeceutica has released 11 types of HA-based products. She combined the substance with calcium, collagen, elastin, chitosan, and vitamin D.
In addition to three glass vessels, the package contains a dispenser for economical consumption of medicinal liquid.
Meso cocktails
The doctor mixes cocktails based on sodium hyaluronate during the session before performing the injections. Similar drugs can be purchased in pharmacies, online stores, and beauty salons.
Mixtures with oligoelements - copper, magnesium, selenium, zinc - are especially useful. Such products, called Kosmo-Oligo, are produced by the company KosmoTeros.
Non-injection facial mesotherapy: reviews
According to reviews from girls, the non-injection mesotherapy procedure has many advantages:
- minimum side effects;
- maintaining skin integrity;
- absence of bruises and swelling;
- painlessness;
- short rehabilitation period (2 hours is enough for recovery);
- safety.
In rare cases, mesotherapy causes slight discomfort. The most important disadvantage of the procedure is considered to be relatively low efficiency. For visible results you need to take a long course. Some girls say they expected a different effect.
Experts' opinions regarding mesotherapy are predominantly positive. Cosmetologists confirm the effectiveness of rejuvenation and recommend it to everyone who has skin problems.
Home sessions
Hyaluronic acid injections are prohibited at home. A drug injected deep under the skin can cause hematoma, swelling, and compaction. During such sessions, it is allowed to use pharmaceutical preparations with HA, a mesoscooter, iontophoresis and electrophoresis devices.
During the administration of cocktails, sterility conditions must be observed. Before use, the roller should be dipped in a container with an alcohol solution. Ion and electrophoresis electrodes also require careful cleaning. Opened ampoules are stored in the refrigerator for no more than two days.
What do you need to know about biorevitalization?
Biorevitalization is known as the most physiological way to replenish the deficiency of hyaluronate in the body and start metabolic processes, which promotes the formation of new cells and the elimination of wrinkles, returning youth to the face and body.
In addition, pure hyaluronic acid is used in preparing the skin for contouring. Hyaluron usually does not cause allergies, quickly penetrates tissues and immediately exhibits its effect, due to which it is widely used to eliminate dermatological problems.
There are 2 known methods of performing the procedure: injection and laser. In cosmetology, a product of non-animal origin is used, since it remains in soft tissues for a long time and activates cellular renewal.
Performing mesotherapy
Mesotherapy can be compared in effectiveness to plastic surgery. The main difference is minimal external intervention. A special cocktail consisting of healing, beneficial drugs is injected directly into the problem area. Moreover, the penetration of the product can be amazingly precise, error-free, and nutrients in maximum concentration will reach exactly the intended place.
As a result of this procedure, they act on the skin of the face:
- Fast;
- Effective.
The selection of drugs is influenced by the existing problem. The introduction of cocktails is carried out to a depth of 1-2 mm using the finest needles directly into the source of deviation. This action serves as proof of the absence of a widespread effect on the entire body. As a result, collagen and elastin fibers begin to be produced from this procedure. At the same time, the structure of the facial skin is restored.
Non-injection facial mesotherapy: price
The cost of the procedure largely depends on the following factors:
- pricing policy of the clinic;
- professionalism of the specialist;
- the drug used;
- selected cocktail;
- processing areas.
In the regions, you will have to pay about 3,000 rubles for mesotherapy (the whole face). For a separate zone you have to pay about 1000 rubles. Often, beauty centers lure customers with promotions and discounts. Therefore, this procedure can save a lot of money. All that remains is to follow the news of the salons.
