It is very important for any woman to prolong the feeling of her youth. But not everyone can decide to use the services of plastic surgeons. Modern cosmetology allows you to avoid radical methods to achieve female beauty. There are many rumors and speculations surrounding aesthetic medicine. Beauty injections that are popular nowadays are surrounded by an aura of uncertainty. They say that the cost of such procedures is so high that only wealthy people can use them. Well, this issue requires detailed consideration.
What is filler-volumeizer Radiesse ↑
Maintaining the firmness and elasticity of the skin occurs thanks to the protein collagen. Over time, its amount in the skin decreases, wrinkles begin to appear and the oval of the face begins to sag. Radiesse beauty injections are involved in launching the self-rejuvenation mechanism. The skin produces its own collagen. It can be used to correct any part of the body, especially all areas of the face. The required substance is contained in sterile syringes. The specialist uses a thin needle to inject the drug under the wrinkle, thus leveling the patient’s skin texture. Nowadays, there are numerous videos about beauty injections demonstrating all the stages of “creating a miracle.”
Despite this, the body continues to age, and newly formed protein is no exception. This means that in a year the skin condition will be the same as before the injections. Whether to apply further procedures or not is everyone’s business. No addiction to the drug was detected after the first manipulations.
Still, there are cases where fillers did not perform well. The material migrated across the skin, was rejected or caused an allergic reaction. In such cases, reviews of beauty injections were, of course, negative.
Weigh the pros and cons of turning to aesthetic medicine specialists
Reviews about Melanotan 2
Of course, advertising promises and properties guaranteed by the manufacturer are good, but only reviews from real people can show how things really are with Melatonan 2. That is why we have selected the most informative and accurate reviews that demonstrate the essence and expectations from taking this drug.
Vicky917
“I used Melanotan in an additional dose of 500 mcg, but I didn’t take any more, for my weight this is the maximum. I can confirm that I have never had such a tan in my life, both in color intensity and uniformity. When the skin simply burns after a certain point in the sun or even in a solarium, with Melanotan II you can get any color in two weeks.”
Dmitry Akhisimov
“I injected myself with an insulin syringe. The simplest and most convenient option. The dosage used was 1000 mcg per day. Solarium for 5-6 minutes no more, so that the tan becomes even + sometimes go to the beach for 20-30 minutes. Over time, don’t overdo it; it’s better not to joke with melanotan. The skin won’t burn, but you can be very black, much blacker than you originally wanted. I saw such an example clearly from a friend and I don’t recommend it, only he increased the dosage. I personally recommend stretching the course to 21 or even 24 days, but with small dosages. Then there won’t be freckles, which everyone is afraid of.”
Anfisa
“Previously, I read all sorts of terrible things, studied reviews of Melanotan tanning injections and everything that was written about the drug in general. It wasn’t then that I didn’t decide to have an appointment, because I’m afraid of injections. This year I saw the effects of Melanotan on a friend and decided to try it. I had to make a decision. I got a perfectly even tan, many didn’t believe it, they thought it was the effect of some kind of cream or self-tanner. Of the minuses, I will highlight only the injections, albeit with an insulin syringe, and during the first week I noticed a slight pulsation in my head and an increase in pressure, although this may not be related to the drug. Next summer I’ll definitely take the course again, at other times I don’t see the benefit of such a strong tan, it’s too flashy and unnatural.”
Kurono Kei
“I added Melanotan 2 during drying to highlight the tan texture. I combined the intake with fragment 176-191 and Hellfire fat burner. I took a little less dosage than needed. My weight is 80 kg, and I was injecting 600 mcg per day, I was just afraid. Based on the results, I will say this, the skin tone is very uniform, but you must definitely visit a solarium or just go out in the sun, in the latter case, at least 2 times a week for 30 minutes. I didn't want a very dark shade, so I only did the course for 2 weeks. And I was satisfied with the result.”
Paty Kerry
“I often read horror stories about melanoma, so I decided that sunbathing with Melanotan 2 would be safer. At least there are no recorded cases of melanomas appearing after the course, in contrast to long visits to the solarium and sunbathing. They often write that it increases sexual desire, but I didn’t feel this myself, everything was normal. I visited the solarium once a week for 5-7 minutes. I went to sunbathe once more a week for 40 minutes in the late afternoon. The end result was a great tan.”
Apelsinka
“I decided to take a Melanotan course with my boyfriend, he takes it every year before competitions, I sat on my neck because I have long been envious of an even tan. I don’t know the exact dosage, he adjusted it, but the course lasted 20 days. At first it was “wow”, then I got used to it and thought that I wasn’t very tanned. But when I compared the before and after photos, I was blown away. I didn't feel any other effects. Visually I have lost weight, but this may be due to a change in skin color"
Ways to deal with major problems of the face and body ↑
Smoothing nasolabial folds and lip augmentation ↑
Fillers are an effective means of filling folds, hollows and adding volume. These are a number of different gels that are injected subcutaneously. The procedure is performed using local anesthesia. The total duration of manipulations is 15-30 minutes. Swelling and bruising may occur in the pierced areas. After 2-3 days they disappear.
Among the safest fillers, preference is given to biodegradable ones (those that dissolve after some time). This filler contains substances related to our body. Among them, the most famous are: hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite, collagen, own fat (lipofilling) or suture materials. The external effect after such injections is more natural. The percentage of complications after using this method is insignificant. Over time (from six months to 3 years), the fillers dissolve, which means that the effect of the injections also disappears.
Nowadays, combination preparations with non-absorbable synthetic particles and biodegradable gel are widely used, which makes it possible to prolong the effectiveness of the procedure. But most doctors are inclined not to take risks and not to use such prolongation measures, since these injections can cause the development of severe complications, including fibrosis (overgrowth of connective tissue) and granulomatous inflammation. The appearance of negative reactions may take several years to appear. And surgical removal of synthetic particles is a very complex process.
Beauty injections make it possible to change your face and prolong its youth
Non-absorbable biopolymer gels are associated with an even higher percentage of complications. It is known about the frequent migration of synthetic gels, which cause persistent inflammation and suppuration. Treatment procedures to correct these problems can take about 2 years.
Beauty injections, the effect of which will last a lifetime, should be avoided so as not to suffer from the terrible consequences of such a procedure.
Smoothing facial wrinkles ↑
Active facial expressions affect the appearance of forehead and eyebrow wrinkles and the development of crow's feet in the outer corners of the eyes. This problem can be dealt with by injections with drugs based on botulinum toxin type A. They are most often referred to as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and other drugs that are aimed at blocking the transmission channels of nerve impulses. As a result, the muscles relax and the active possibility of grimacing disappears. Such beauty injections retain their effect for 4-8 months until new neuromuscular connections are formed.
Take the opportunity to make your skin elastic and firm with beauty injections
Such manipulations last about 10-15 minutes. This procedure is almost painless. It is necessary to contact a highly qualified specialist who understands the anatomical intricacies of the human face and can correctly calculate the dosage level of the drug. If the dosage is calculated incorrectly or the wrong injection point is chosen, ptosis may develop. This disease is expressed in drooping of the upper eyelid, drooping or raising of the eyebrow line, facial asymmetry, etc.
There is no possibility of addiction to Botox injections. They talk about the accumulation of botulinum toxin and the slow “poisoning” of a person. But manufacturers say these are just baseless accusations. The drug is eliminated within three weeks after the injection.
For those who are interested in the question of how much beauty injections cost, there is information on the cost of 1 bottle of Botox. Its price is $400. This amount of substance will only be enough to correct one problem area.
One bottle of Botox worth $400 is enough to correct only one problem area
Improving complexion and reducing cellulite ↑
The use of mesotherapy and biorevitalization (bioreparation) will help cope with these problems. Their basis is hyaluronic acid. Plasmolifting technique is used. These injections involve human blood plasma, which is enriched with platelets. This technique is used for areas of the face, neck, décolleté and hands. Among the areas of mesotherapy there is a correction program to combat the figure and the manifestations of cellulite. For these problems, the method of lipolytic cocktails is most applicable.
Such manipulations take about half an hour. Both intradermal and subcutaneous injections are used. They are shallow and are accompanied by the introduction of an anesthetic ointment. Modern injection mesotherapy uses syringes with microneedles, special guns (mesoinjectors), as well as individual mesorollers with a drug in a capsule.
Modern products help improve complexion and remove blemishes
The most common complications from these procedures include redness and swelling. But they disappear after a few hours. And you can get rid of multiple bruises in 3-5 days. They are more common in smokers, as well as in thin-skinned women with fragile blood vessels. Therefore, it is better to calculate your time after the procedure in such a way that you can spend several days at home. The use of cream and ointment to accelerate the resorption of bruises is not allowed.
What are injected for wrinkles, and what is the principle of action of injections
Several types of products are used in cosmetology practice. The most popular are hyaluronic acid, botulinum toxin and collagen. The choice of drugs depends on the purpose of use and the age of the patient. Read more about injection techniques below.
Preparations with collagen
Collagen is the main protein of connective tissue, which also provides the firmness and elasticity of the skin. With age, the reserves of this protein gradually decrease. At the same time, regeneration processes in the body do not completely compensate for the loss of collagen, which leads to the appearance of first fine and then deep wrinkles.
Using injections, collagen is injected into the wrinkle area, which fills the skin imperfection and evens it out. Such procedures have nothing to do with protein synthesis and are purely symptomatic measures whose effects are limited in time.
Collagen injections are effective in correcting deep facial wrinkles, nasolabial folds, glabellar furrows, post-acne and scar changes.
Today cosmetologists use two types of collagen - human and bovine.
Human collagen
This is a natural protein for the body, so it is absorbed without complications or adverse reactions. The drug is obtained by processing donor skin that remains after operations. Collagen can also be made from the patient's own epidermis, which is taken from different areas of the body, most often behind the ear.
Bovine collagen
This is a drug made from calf skin, which, in its essence, is a foreign protein for humans. Therefore, allergic reactions often occur with injections of bovine collagen, which requires a preliminary test for sensitivity to the drug. For this purpose, a small amount of a biological product is injected into the skin of the inner surface of the forearm and the result is assessed after a day. The appearance of itching, hyperemia, rashes or swelling in the area where the allergy test was performed is a contraindication to the injection technique.
The advantage of collagen injections is the rapid onset of the effect, but the disadvantage is its short duration (3-4 months).
Botulinum toxin preparations
Botulinum toxin, which is popularly called “Botox,” belongs to paralytic drugs. The mechanism of action of the drug is to provoke partial paralysis of facial muscles, as a result of which wrinkles and folds of the skin are smoothed out.
This method is best suited for the correction of shallow wrinkles and general rejuvenation in women over 40 years of age. Botulinum toxin injections are especially popular against wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. In addition, the procedure is used to prevent the formation of new wrinkles. The duration of botulinum therapy is up to six months.
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid injections are the most common, safest type of facial injections, which are suitable for any location and depth of wrinkles, as well as any age. The method is based on filling the skin defect with a special gel, which includes hyaluronic acid. The procedure helps smooth out even deep wrinkles, disguises darkness under the eyes and effectively nourishes the skin.
Among the advantages of the method, it is necessary to note the low cost and fairly long-lasting results - up to 24 months. The disadvantage of hyaluronic acid injections is swelling of the skin for two to three days after the injections.
Ozone therapy
Ozone normalizes metabolism and microcirculation in the skin, which, in turn, activates the synthesis of collagen and elastin. Due to this effect, ozone therapy is widely used in the beauty industry. The procedure consists of intradermal injections of an ozone-oxygen mixture into the wrinkle area. The appearance of an “orange peel” indicates sufficient administration of the drug.
Ozone therapy is an innovative way to rejuvenate, tighten and moisturize the skin. With the help of ozone, it is possible to eliminate even deep wrinkles for a long time and give the skin a healthy and natural color. Such procedures also eliminate pigmentation, small scars, vitriol and dark circles under the eyes, and reduce the production of sweat and sebum.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy refers to the introduction into the middle layer of the skin of various cocktails that have anti-inflammatory, restorative, antioxidant, rejuvenating, nourishing, anti-cellulite or other beneficial effects.
Cocktails for mesotherapy may include various components, namely:
- hyaluronic acid;
- vitamins;
- minerals;
- anti-inflammatory drugs;
- plant extracts and many others.
Biorevitalization
Biorevitalization is the procedure for intradermal or subcutaneous administration of mixtures of hyaluronic acid. For such injections, hyaluronic acid is used in combination with vitamins, microelements, plant extracts and other components.
Biorevitalization is intended to remove wrinkles, pigmentation, dark circles below the eyes, scars and acne, as well as to rejuvenate the epidermis of the face, neck and décolleté.
Plasmolifting
Plasmolifting is the introduction under the skin of one’s own blood plasma, enriched with platelets, since these cells contain the growth factor. To do this, 5-10 ml of blood is taken from the patient, it is centrifuged to separate the plasma, which is drawn into a syringe and injected into the desired area of the skin.
The entry of growth factor into the deep layers of the epidermis activates the processes of regeneration and self-rejuvenation. Thanks to this, the color and turgor of the skin improve, age spots, stretch marks, small scars, and post-acne disappear. With the help of plasma lifting, you can also remove wrinkles, correct the oval of the face and treat alopecia.
Lipolifting
Lipolifting involves the transplantation of one's own lipocytes to correct the oval of the face, deep expression wrinkles, tear troughs and other parts of the body.
The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia. During the operation, adipose tissue is drawn from the abdomen or buttocks into a syringe with a special atraumatic needle, which is processed and brought to a homogeneous consistency. Then the resulting drug is drawn into a syringe and injected into problem areas.
At what age should you start using beauty injections ↑
Twenty years of age is the age at which many experts consider it possible to start using aesthetic products. Provided, of course, that there are reasons for this. The main purpose of these procedures is to get rid of scars and scars, acne and post-acne.
At the age of 23-25, beauty injections are used to prevent the first manifestations of skin aging. “Tired” skin receives nutrients, is refreshed, and gets rid of dryness and age spots.
Attention: contraindications Any intervention in the natural environment of the body is accompanied by unpleasant side effects. Basically, they are expressed in the pain of the procedure itself, hematomas, hyperpigmentation and allergic reactions. But there are a number of contraindications according to which it is not recommended to subject your body to such procedures. These include the following body conditions:

Tanning injections
In order to get a richer and more lasting skin tone, it is recommended to choose Melanotan tanning injections. Injections can be used at any time of the year if you always want to have a rich chocolate skin tone.
There are certain side effects:
- Deterioration of general mood and well-being, emotional overload, depression and stress.
- Drowsiness or insomnia.
- Increased blood pressure and heart rate.
- Rash on the skin.
- Increased sweating.
- Deterioration of appetite or, conversely, increase in body weight.
- Rich and even black skin tone if you exceed recommended doses.
Adverse reactions are very rare and only due to non-compliance with recommended doses. Therefore, you need to carefully read the instructions from the manufacturer and consult a doctor. If any negative symptoms occur, you should stop using tanning injections.
What are “beauty injections”?
One of the popular methods of rejuvenation in cosmetology, which can give visible results in just a few procedures, is beauty injections. Although aesthetic cosmetology does not focus only on invasive (injection) procedures for skin rejuvenation, injections have already become very popular due to their effectiveness. The introduction of preparations based on vitamin cocktails, hyaluronic acid, etc. allows you to restore skin elasticity, fight age-related changes (flabbiness, pigmentation, etc.), help eliminate existing wrinkles, and improve complexion.
"Beauty injections"
Injectable drugs are more effective if the procedures are carried out in courses (with the exception of contouring, Botox, etc.). In most cases, a single injection will not bring significant results.
Injection of a drug of any composition is a rather painful procedure. Therefore, before starting a cosmetic procedure, the skin is anesthetized with special compounds (creams, lotions).
Rehabilitation period
The process of chin mesotherapy is considered easy; it is rarely accompanied by complications and unpleasant feelings. For this reason, the rehabilitation period takes little time. It proceeds easily, during it no health problems appear, there is no pain.
After administering the drugs, it is recommended to lie down for 30 minutes. During this period, the solution will be completely distributed over the entire chin area and will have a therapeutic effect.
It is important that during this period the water balance in the body is equalized, so you need to immediately drink about 500 ml of water. In the subsequent period, a burning sensation and hypothermia may occur; to alleviate the condition, a cold compress should be applied. This will speed up skin recovery.
It is recommended to take the following measures that will speed up the process of removing fatty acids and improve lymph flow:
- You need to drink two liters of water a day.
- It is important to take regular walks.
- Perform lymphatic drainage massage.
- Complete exclusion of tanning in a solarium.
- You need to constantly use sunscreen, even in winter and autumn.
- It is worth eliminating the consumption of alcoholic beverages and giving up smoking.
What else cosmetologists talk about will be useful to know for those who have decided to get rid of a double chin:
It is worth noting! Unpleasant phenomena disappear on their own after 2-3 days. Bruising may be visible for 7 days. If they persist longer than this period, you should consult a doctor.
