Mesoscooter for the face: rules of use, tips

What is a mesoscooter?

A mesoscooter is a compact device consisting of a plastic handle and a rotating roller.

The surface of the roller is covered with microneedles, which, when rotated, affect the surface layers of the skin.

Conventional mesoscooters are made of steel, but there are models with needles made of alloys and even precious metals.

Dermarollers can be used both at home independently and in aesthetic clinics.

The devices are divided into several types; there are separate devices for the face, for combating cellulite, as well as for solving other skin problems.

In mesoscooters, the number of microneedles on the roller also differs; their number can reach several hundred pieces.

What is a mesoscooter

This device is actively used in aesthetic medicine and cosmetology. It is a medium-sized roller, on the surface of which there are needles of small diameter. There may be different quantities of the latter depending on the size, model, and price of the device. Inexpensive mesoscooters use needles made of plastic or stainless steel, while expensive ones use gold or silver plated needles. The length can vary between 0.15-2.5 mm.

Purpose

The operating principle of the device is based on acupuncture effects on the epidermis.

The movement of the roller leads to short-term micro-piercing of the surface layer of the skin, which provides:

• Activation of elastin and collagen production processes;
• Increased blood circulation at the local level;
• Growth of new cells and, accordingly, restoration of the skin;
• Normalization of metabolic processes in the subcutaneous layers.

Typically, a mesoscooter is used in combination with special creams and cocktails applied to the face and body before the procedure.

Micro-piercing of the facial skin leads to better penetration of the beneficial components of therapeutic and care products deep into the subcutaneous layers.

As a result, the course of using a mesoscooter for the face leads to:

• Increases skin elasticity - fine wrinkles are smoothed out, age-related sagging disappears, facial contours become clearer;
• To reduce the visibility of scars on the face, to the disappearance of acne spots;
• To improve skin tone - the use of a mesoscooter helps lighten age spots and freckles.

Dermarollers are produced not only for the face. You can purchase devices whose action ensures the resorption of cellulite tubercles and the reduction of stretch marks on the body.

With the help of mesoscooters you can stop hair loss.

How does a massager with needles work?

As a result of using a mesoscooter, a huge number of microchannels are formed on the face, without damaging the epidermal barrier. Due to punctures, cells begin to work more efficiently, intensively producing their own collagen and elastin to restore the skin. In a matter of hours, the wounds close completely, and until this happens, it is recommended to apply therapeutic serums and cocktails so that they penetrate into the deep layers. Advantages of using a mesoscooter:

• helps cosmetics be better absorbed from the surface of the skin;
• accelerates skin regeneration processes;
• eliminates pigmentation;
• evens out complexion;
• helps tighten pores;
• eliminates “crow's feet”;
• improves skin tone;
• reduces the “double chin”;
• eliminates the problem of drooping upper eyelid;
• restores skin elasticity;
• makes facial contours clear.

Kinds

Mesoscooters are usually divided into three types, these are:

• DEVICE FOR HOME USE. The length of the needles on the roller of such a dermaroller ranges from 0.2 to 0.5 mm. A homemade mesoscooter helps well in eliminating fine wrinkles and sagging skin, evens out facial tone, and reduces the visibility of enlarged pores. This device is also useful for excessive hair loss. Its use is safe - the short length of the needles does not injure the skin.

  

• COSMETIC MESOROLLER. The main difference is the length of the needles, which is more than 0.5 mm. This type of device should be used in beauty salons; without professional skills, there is a risk of damage to the basement membrane. The use of a cosmetic mesoscooter is necessary when there are defects on the face in the form of deep scars, pronounced wrinkles, hyperpigmented spots, and ptosis.

  

• MEDICAL. The rollers of this device have the longest length - from 1 to 2.5 - 3 mm. Thin needles pierce the skin deeply, affecting the nerve endings and causing pain. Therefore, a medical facial roller is usually used after anesthesia of the skin with local agents. It helps well in eliminating deep scars, pronounced cellulite and stretch marks. Only a cosmetologist with a higher education and a certificate corresponding to his activities can use such a device.

  

Mesoscooters also differ in the composition of the alloy used to make the needles. The most common analogues are those with titanium needles. Devices with surgical steel needles have a longer service life.

Dermarollers coated with silver and gold should only be purchased if an allergic reaction occurs to ordinary metals.

When choosing a device, you need to pay attention to the number of needles; the more there are, the higher the effect and the less painful sensations.

In addition to the mesoscooter for the face, analogues are also produced for other parts of the body.

Devices for the eyelids are distinguished by the shortest needle length and narrow roller, which allows you to easily treat the delicate skin around the eyes.

Mesoscooters for the body have a wide roller, providing a large area of ​​coverage of the torso during the procedure.

In case of excessive hair loss, you should pay attention to special devices for treating the scalp.

You can also purchase sets of mesoscooters; they may include two or three devices designed to eliminate defects from individual areas of the body.

A variation of ordinary mesoscooters is a background device. Such devices have a built-in photon emitter, which allows the treated area of ​​the body to be subjected to light therapy.

The combination of mesotherapy and light therapy increases the effectiveness of the procedures.

How to choose a mesoscooter for home use

The effectiveness of the procedures depends on the quality of the selected devices. You can purchase mesoscooters in specialized stores, pharmacies or online stores selling health and beauty products. Give preference to devices manufactured by trusted manufacturers. When choosing a device for home use, pay attention to the following criteria.

Needles

1. The length of micro needles for self-procedure should be no more than 0.5 mm, and for more delicate parts of the face, such as eyelids, 0.15 mm is sufficient.
2. Needles no longer than 0.3 mm are designed to get rid of minor age spots, smooth out small wrinkles, prevent skin aging and administer vitamin cocktails and serums.
3. Micro needles 0.5 mm help to cope with more serious problems: skin pigmentation, age wrinkles, lip and nasal folds, small acne scars and other defects.
4. The remaining needles are intended for work by specialists in beauty salons.
5. Rollers with a number of needles from 40 to 550 are intended for the face; a larger number corrects other problematic parts of the body. Depending on the areas you want to correct, select the appropriate roller width.

Needle material

• Pay attention to the material from which the needles are made. Plastic ones quickly deform, and when in contact with disinfectants and compositions for treating the skin before the procedure, they change their structure.
• Needles made of surgical steel are cheaper than others, but also less durable, they last for a maximum of 10 sessions. With frequent use they become bent and dull.
• The most optimal are titanium micro needles, as they contain antimicrobial properties, are less susceptible to corrosion and remain sharp longer.
• If you are allergic to these metals, purchase a device with silver or gold plated plating.
• For close proximity of blood vessels on the face and for thin skin, special needles with laser or diamond sharpening are intended.

Additional mesoscooter options

Choose devices that are equipped with additional devices for chromotherapy, electroporation, galvanotherapy, as combined devices give more effective results.

Using a mesoscooter at home

It is quite possible to improve the condition of your facial skin with the help of a mesoscooter. But it is advisable that the initial consultation be given by a specialist. Their use to eliminate facial wrinkles is especially controversial, since more effective methods are needed to solve this problem.

A qualified cosmetologist will select meso-cocktails suitable for your skin type and explain the nuances of the effect on different areas of the face.

It is necessary to take into account all contraindications to the procedure and use only a device made for home use.

Mesotherapy at home has many advantages. But you need to understand. That salon procedures performed by a master are much more effective than self-care.

Why do you need a mesoscooter?

In addition, the mesoscooter is often rolled over the face, which has been applied with anti-aging serum, hyaluronic acid, etc. Cosmetologists responsibly declare that micropunctures of the upper layer of the dermis contribute to the rapid delivery of all vitamins and active components of anti-aging serums to the cells.

During conventional cosmetic procedures, only 5% of beneficial elements enter the skin. A facial mesoscooter helps active beneficial substances penetrate from the surface of the skin through punctures to deeper layers. The effect of these procedures increases many times over.

Dermoroller allows women to effectively combat:

• wrinkles of various origins;
• age spots;
• wide pores;
• double chin;
• drooping upper eyelid;
• uneven complexion;
• scars;
• loose skin;
• acne.

Choosing a high quality mesoscooter

Before purchasing a device, you should know what parameters you need to pay attention to in any case.

The quality of a mesoscooter is assessed primarily based on three components, these are:

• Length of needles and their total number;
• Purpose of the device;
• Type of material used.

Mesoscooters for the face should be equipped with needles no more than 0.5 mm in length.

For the eyelid area, you should purchase devices with needles, the length of which reaches 0.15 mm.

There are also special devices with narrow rollers, convenient for treating nasolabial folds.

Some manufacturers produce special sets of facial rollers consisting of several devices with different purposes.

The needles on the rollers are made of plastic, titanium alloy, and steel. The most short-lived material is plastic; its needles are fragile and too sharp, and disinfection of the device negatively affects the structure of the plastic product.

Steel needles last longer compared to plastic ones, but even with frequent use of the device, they quickly become deformed.

The most practical solution is to purchase a mesoscooter with titanium needles; they are durable and retain all their performance characteristics for up to 6 months.

The number of needles affects the efficiency of penetration of therapeutic agents into the subcutaneous layers and the degree of pain of the procedure. Modern devices can have from two hundred to five hundred needles.

You should purchase a mesoscooter with the largest number of needles on the roller.

Advantages of use

An intensive cosmetic procedure has the following advantages:

• helps narrow pores;
• improves complexion;
• fights unwanted pigmentation;
• stimulates tissue regeneration;
• the introduction of cosmetics becomes more effective;
• the oval of the face is tightened;
• the elasticity of the skin increases;
• "crow's feet" near the eyes become smaller.

The quality of needles affects the effectiveness of the procedure

Indications and main contraindications for the procedure

Home mesotherapy is useful if you are concerned about skin defects such as:

• Scars and scars after surgery;
• Age-related decrease in skin elasticity;
• Deep and fine wrinkles, crow's feet around the eyes;
• Hyperpigmentation spots on certain areas of the face;
• Excessive dryness of the epidermis and individual flaky spots;
• Lack of healthy skin tone.

The use of mesoscooters, subject to all rules, is considered safe, but before carrying out the procedure, you need to exclude contraindications to mesotherapy.

You will need to refuse such treatment if:

• There are individual psoriatic lesions, fungal skin infections, and dermatitis on the face;
• Herpes occurs in the active phase;
• There is skin irritation at the site of intended impact of the roller;
• An expanded network of small vessels (rosacea) is visible on the face;
• There are neoplasms and warts on the face;
• There is inflammation in the affected area.

Do not use the mesoscooter during pregnancy and lactation. Before purchasing a device, it is advisable to consult a cosmetologist.

The specialist will assess the condition of the skin, recommend serums and cocktails suitable for the procedure, and explain all stages of the procedure.

Sometimes it is advised not to include mesorollers in home care, since the condition of the skin may be such that mesotherapy will cause irritation and provoke an exacerbation of chronic dermatological sores.

The effectiveness of using a mesoscooter against cellulite

Let's now see what cellulite is and what its causes are. Until now, the exact reason for the development of such fatty deposits in women has not been discovered. Interestingly, in the Middle Ages, the presence of cellulite was a sign of beauty and wealth. And now the fair sex is investing a lot of money to get rid of it.

The pathophysiology of cellulite is the retention of intercellular fluid between adipocytes. If no measures are taken at this stage, the process will progress. So, at the second stage, partitions of connective tissue are formed, and swelling and lumpiness intensify. Using a mesoscooter for cellulite stimulates the resorption of intercellular fluid, activation of metabolic processes in the affected area, and also improves blood and lymph flow.

In addition, close contact of metal objects with the skin causes the formation of chemical compounds in tissues and cells, thereby stimulating metabolic processes in them.

Cosmetics used with the mesoscooter

Mesoscooters are used at home with certain medications; they are selected taking into account:

• Skin type;
• Nature of the problem;
• Contraindications.

Mesotherapy products are divided into concentrates and specially formulated cocktails.

Concentrates usually consist of one component and therefore actively eliminate only one or two defects.

The group of concentrates includes:

• Hyaluronic acid. The concentrate moisturizes the epidermis, helps eliminate fine wrinkles;

  

• Ascorbic acid. The main effect is lightening the epidermis;
• Elastin and collagen hydrolyzate. Under their influence, skin elasticity increases and the growth of new cells is activated;
• Aloe extract. The concentrate is used when it is necessary to moisturize the skin, remove inflammation and relieve irritation;
• Chamomile concentrate. It is used when it is necessary to remove traces left from allergic reactions and reduce irritation on the skin.

Mesotherapy products may contain extracts of plants such as gingko biloba, centella asiatica, and seaweed.

Medicinal cocktails are divided into two types. Ready-made products from this group contain about 50 components and can be purchased in pharmacies and online stores.

The second type of cocktail is a self-prepared solution consisting of three or four components.

Only a specialist can professionally create a cocktail suitable for the skin type, taking into account defects, features of the epidermis, and the age of the client.

Popular products used in conjunction with a facial mesoscooter include:

• Gel with hyaluronic acid “Anti-aging serum Gel Serum de jeunesse avec l'acide Hyaluronique”;
• Hyaluronic acids: Professional, Mumiton with mumiyo, FYTODON with sweet clover, Herbamine with Celandine and Collagen, Gold Elite, Luxury;
• Facial serum Laura Mesoeffect;
• Concentrate with dexpanthenol.

When choosing products, cosmetologists advise giving preference to ready-made formulations. They are sterile and do not have foreign inclusions.

Cocktail for mesoscooter

A cocktail for a mesoscooter can be a cosmetic product and be sold ready-made or prepared independently at home, but:

• for dry or wrinkled skin, the composition should contain hyaluronic acid, peptides, collagen and elastane;
• Vitamin C will help against pigment spots or the consequences of acne;
• for inflamed skin – aloe extract.

In any case, you will need to know the true problems of your facial skin and select medications taking this information into account.

How to choose a product

You need to choose products for a mesoscooter “according to your needs”:

• if the skin is excessively dry and there are already fine wrinkles on the face, then cocktails with hyaluronic acid would be the best choice;
• if it is necessary to whiten the skin of the face (for example, there are extensive or numerous age spots), vitamin C should be present in the cocktail;
• the presence of inflamed areas of the skin with peeling, redness and rashes is a signal to use a product with aloe vera extract;
• The presence of elastane and collagen in the cocktail indicates that it will be most effective for dry, wrinkled skin with signs of sagging and sagging.

When choosing a specific drug, you need to take into account the individual characteristics of the body - if there is a history of allergies to any substances, then they must be excluded from the cocktail.

The best cosmetic meso cocktail

Cosmetic mesocotails are divided into the following types:

It is not possible to choose the best, “universal” mesocotail - this is done on an individual basis. Even if the procedure with a mesoscooter is carried out at home, in order to purchase a truly effective drug, you need to consult a cosmetologist.

Recipes at home

To achieve the desired effect, the cocktail must contain collagen, enzymes, vitamins and hyaluronic acid. These substances are freely available in pharmacies. The best combinations for carrying out caring procedures with a mesoscooter at home are:

• vitamins + amino acids + mesoflavone – have the maximum rejuvenating effect;
• hyaluronic acid + betaine + elastin + panthenol – the result will be complete hydration and smoothing of the relief;
• biostimulants + plant extracts + thiamine - this combination is optimal for problem skin with acne, pimples, and enlarged pores.

Preparing cocktails at home should begin with the selection of specific components; some of them may cause a severe allergic reaction.

Criteria for choosing a device for independent use

Mesoscooters are available in different types, each of which solves a specific skin problem.

The purpose of the device is primarily determined by the length of its needles:

• The length of the needles up to 0.2 ml ideally helps to enhance the absorption of cosmetics. Such mesoscooters are usually used to treat the skin of the eyelids and the area around the eyes;
• Dermarollers with needles 0.5 mm long effectively help cope with fine wrinkles and improve the functioning of hair follicles;
• Devices with 1 mm long spikes are used to eliminate wrinkles, light stretch marks on the skin and fresh scars;
• Mesoscooters with needles 1.5 mm long are used when it is necessary to reduce the visibility of deep scars.

The thicker the skin, the longer the needles should be. This rule also applies to men's skin, since it is denser and rougher than women's.

For the face, you should choose devices in which the length of the needles is 0.5 mm; they effectively activate collagen production and, at an optimal level, promote the penetration of all the beneficial components applied to the skin.

Devices with shorter needles should be purchased only if they will be used to eliminate defects in the area around the eyes.

Dermarollers with needles longer than 2mm should only be used in beauty salons. Their use at home leads to unwanted complications.

The cost of a mesoscooter used independently is determined by the length and number of needles, the material used in the device, and the model of the device. The price also depends on the pharmacy chain that sells such devices. The average cost for home mesotherapy is from $14 to $22.

Types of dermarollers for the face

Mesoscooters are classified depending on the number of needles, the length of the protruding spikes and the width of the roller itself.

The variety of types allows you to choose the right item for use on a specific area of ​​the body.

1. If there are 1080 barely visible needles on the device roller (maximum number), it is used on the skin surface of the body.
2. If the number of needles is 192-200, this indicates that the mesoscooter is suitable for treating the epidermis near the eyes or on the head.
3. 540 needles on the roller allow you to use the dermoroller for the face, neck, décolleté, and near the eyes. The universal device is suitable for use on problem areas subject to mesotherapy.

The advantage of the mesoscooter is that it is possible to use the device independently at home.

The main thing is the quality and length of the needles

The needle elements of the mesoscooter vary in quality and elongation. Those made of steel or titanium metal are considered preferable.

Models are available with spikes made of an alloy of steel with silver or gold. Cosmetic devices are also made with plastic needles, but they are short-lived.

Rollers with spikes made of metal materials last longer in comparison with mesoscooters whose “spines” are made of medical steel.

The length of the spines ranges from 0.2-3.0 mm. Taking this indicator into account, the following classification was created:

1. For home use. Such devices have needles, the length of which varies between 0.2-0.5 mm. This device can reduce wrinkles, eliminate sagging, improve tone, and slightly narrow pores. It can also be used in case of hair loss.
2. Professional cosmetic device. In this case, the length of the needles is longer. The dermaroller is used only in a salon or clinic, and the doctor who performs the manipulation must have the appropriate skills. But the effect of using this device is better, since it can be used to lighten age spots and reduce scars.
3. Medical device. Such devices are distinguished by the fact that their needles are quite long (1-3 mm). They absolutely cannot be used at home, just like the previous type. Their use is quite painful, which is why anesthesia is used. This method can help you get rid of deep scars and stretch marks.

A mesoscooter with 0.25 mm needles can be used every day or every other day (if you do not have sensitive skin), 0.5 mm - 1-2 times a week, 0.75 mm (or more) - it is best to carry out the procedure monthly.

Plastic surgeon Stephen Weiner

Purchasing a dermaroller with a certain length of needles depends on the goal to be achieved. Therefore, to get rid of excessive stretch marks, scars, scars on the skin, you will need a device with spikes on a roller with a length of 1 mm.

Duration of use

A course of home mesotherapy consists of 6-10 procedures performed once a week.

It is recommended to throw away the highest quality mesoscooters after about 10 procedures. The thing is that their needles become dull, become deformed and therefore do not perform their intended function.

When repeating a course of mesotherapy, it is recommended to purchase a new device.

Stages of preparation for the procedure

The effect of the finest needles on the face requires strict adherence to all the rules for preparing the device itself, the skin of the face and caring for it after the session.

Neglecting recommendations reduces the effectiveness of the procedure and increases the likelihood of unwanted reactions.

Preparing for use of the mesoscooter

The device is intended for individual use only and should not be shared with close relatives.

The device must be treated with care - impacts, falls and handling with inappropriate means will damage the mesoscooter.

Before the first use, there is no need for additional sterilization of the roller, since special disinfectant compounds are used during the production process.

Subsequently, the device needs to be disinfected; it is carried out both before and after the procedure.

You can clean the mesoscooter from dirt and pathogenic microbes using:

• Chlorhexidine;
• Miramistin;
• Alcohol 75 degrees;
• 3% hydrogen peroxide.

The device roller is completely immersed in the prepared solution for 15-20 minutes. Then it is taken out and positioned so that the needles dry without coming into contact with surfaces.

The device is ready for use after the roller has completely dried. The mesoscooter treated after the procedure should be stored in a separate case.

Preparing the face

Before the session, you must remove all makeup from your face, wash it and treat it with a disinfectant. To do this, you can use 0.05% Miramistin. Immediately before the procedure, the selected serum is applied to the epidermis.

If you plan to use a mesoscooter with needles more than 0.5 mm in length, then 20 minutes before using the device, you should apply a gel with an anesthetic effect.

Benefits of a dermaroller

• Fine and deep wrinkles. Using a dermaroller can improve the appearance of small to deep wrinkles, including crow's feet and forehead lines.
• Scarring. Scar tissue can be broken down well with 1.5mm needles, while acne should be treated with 1mm needles. Experts note that scarring will be minimized within 2-3 weeks.
• Sun damage and pigmentation. Dermarollers with needles from 1 to 1.5 mm can treat skin damaged by UV rays and prone to seasonal pigmentation.
• Skin aging. Thanks to the active stimulation of collagen, the dermaroller will make the skin more elastic and firm, and wrinkles less obvious.
• Moisturizing and nutrition. After using a dermaroller, any product, be it cream, mask or serum, will penetrate the skin much more effectively. This means that you will be able to see the result much earlier.

Important: After the procedure, your skin will be red and sensitive for several hours, and this is completely normal. Moreover, after a few days you will experience dryness and flaking, but this is also not something to be afraid of. Just stock up on a good moisturizer to mask the effects, and you will see results within a week.

Mesotherapy technique

A mesoscooter at home should be used according to certain rules. First, the face is divided into zones. The procedure begins by treating those areas where the skin is thickest.

It is recommended to carry out mesotherapy from the forehead, then act on the cheeks, chin, nasolabial triangle and eye area.

The movement during the session is performed without strong pressure and in three directions - the mesoscooter roller is moved horizontally, then vertically and diagonally. Movement in each direction is made from 5 to 10 times.

After treating one area, be sure to apply the serum used again; it will penetrate well into the lower layers of the epidermis through the already formed micropores.

The most problematic areas are the folds near the lips and nose; the neck can be exposed to the needle roller twice in one procedure.

A mesotherapy session lasts on average about 20 minutes. It is carried out once a week, 15-20 sessions are enough for the course. It is not recommended to use a mesoscooter more than twice a year. Frequent use of the device reduces the skin's own regenerative properties.

Cosmetics for mesoscooter

Cosmetics for mesoscooters are sold in pharmacies - these can be serums or multi-component products to solve common problems of aging and fading:

• drugs – Biotin, Ascorbic acid, Alfutol, Retinol;
• the most popular Laura serum, often sold together with a mesoscooter;
• hyaluronic acid (high molecular weight, medium molecular weight and low molecular weight).

Preparations for mesoscooter in the pharmacy

Preparations for mesoscooters are sold in ampoules in pharmacies; the most popular ones for home procedures are:

Laura serum with mesoscooter

Together with the mesoscooter, Laura serum is sold - the most popular drug for performing mesotherapy at home. The tool roller contains about 200 needles 0.5 mm long - this means that it can be used to treat the skin of the face, neck, double chin and even the area around the eyes.

The serum is a multicomponent product that contains peptides, cosmetic oils, vitamins, and minerals with hyaluronic acid. The concentration of the drug is low, so overdose and side effects are excluded.

It is stated that with regular use of this product the following effect will be obtained:

• the oval of the face will acquire a clear contour;
• the “jowls” will catch up;
• small wrinkles will be smoothed out;
• your complexion will change for the better.

This kit is a budget option and makes it possible to conduct several trial mesotherapy sessions at home. The first results will be obvious after 1-2 procedures, which are carried out once a week.

The cost of a set of Laura serum with a mesoscooter ranges around 1000 rubles.

Hyaluronic acid for mesoroller

Hyaluronic acid for mesoscooters is available in pharmacies in three forms:

• high molecular weight – capable of penetrating only into the cells of the epidermis, ensuring the formation of a protective film and retention of moisture on the surface of the skin;
• medium molecular weight – penetrates into the middle layers of the skin, making the dermis more elastic and firm;
• low molecular weight - will be effective in all layers of the skin, has a pronounced moisturizing and rejuvenating effect.

What kind of hyaluronic acid a particular person needs is determined individually and depends on what goals are being pursued:

• if the mesoscooter is used as a prevention of early aging or must solve the problems of enlarged pores and acne, then high molecular weight hyaluronic acid can be used in the procedures;
• if there are signs of aging (wrinkles around the eyes, sagging skin on the cheeks, transverse folds on the forehead), the optimal choice will be the medium-molecular type of the drug in question;
• If the skin is clearly aging, has already lost its elasticity, is dry, and has areas of peeling, then only low molecular weight “hyaluronic acid” can improve its appearance and condition.

The cost of the drug starts from 900 rubles for a 10 ml bottle; the price increase is due to the addition of components to hyaluronic acid that are designed to nourish and treat the skin, making the procedure more effective.

Facial care after home mesotherapy

The procedure is considered complete after applying preparations with a cooling and soothing effect to the skin.

Cosmetologists advise using lotions or creams containing retinol, beta-carotene, peptides, ascorbic acid, and tocopherol.

All of them help restore the epidermis.

After applying the product:

• You need to rest for a few minutes, during which time all discomfort will pass and the cream will be completely absorbed;
• Do not go outside in direct sunlight for at least 2 hours;
• For the next two to three days, you should apply sunscreen to your face before going outside.

In between sessions, you can use masks with nourishing and regenerating properties.

You can independently operate devices whose needle length is no more than 0.5 mm.

Devices with needles larger than 1 mm lead to the appearance of fairly deep micropores, which creates the effect of blood dew on the face.

Such devices can only be used if you know the structure of the skin in individual areas of the body.

How to use a facial massager

To get a positive result, the device must be used correctly. One procedure takes about 10-15 minutes. Instructions for use:

1. Clean the skin, remove makeup, use an antiseptic, for example, Miramistin.
2. Apply numbing agent if using needles larger than 1mm.
3. It is advisable to treat the skin with the selected cosmetic product.
4. Start treating areas of skin without pressure, making horizontal, vertical and diagonal movements. Massage 5 times in each direction.
5. Re-treat your face with an antiseptic and reapply the active substance or moisturizer.
6. Clean the device with a disinfectant solution.

Mesotherapy results

The effectiveness of improving the condition of facial skin when using a mesoscooter is determined by:

• The condition of the epidermal layer of the skin;
• The severity of the main skin defect;
• Type of meso cocktail and its composition;
• Individual characteristics of skin cells;
• Compliance with all points of the instructions for use of dermarollers;
• The quality of the device and the length of the needles.

Many women see noticeable results in changing the appearance of their faces after the first session, or rather after 24 hours. The skin gains elasticity, facial contours become clearer, and the skin tone improves.

For minor defects, to achieve a visible effect from the procedures, on average, up to 8 sessions are required.

With pronounced age-related changes, skin rejuvenation is noticeable after 15-20 mesotherapy procedures.

An experienced cosmetologist can advise you on the optimal scheme for facial treatment and the total number of sessions. The opinion of a specialist should not be neglected; it increases the effectiveness of medical care.

Features of using professional devices

Many cosmetologists believe that the use of devices with needles up to 0.5 mm or less does not provide a pronounced rejuvenation effect.

Only devices with needles longer than 1 mm can cope with the task of enhancing the work of collagen fibers and delivering serum components into the deep layers of the epidermis.

But the use of such devices leads to the fact that small vessels are injured, and “blood dew” appears on the skin.

Procedures with such an effect should be carried out only by a specialist, since failure to comply with mesotherapy techniques and asepsis rules increases the likelihood of bruises, wounds and, most importantly, infection of the skin.

Therefore, purchasing mesoscooters intended for professionals is dangerous. You can use such devices at home only if you have the necessary medical knowledge or experience as a cosmetologist.

Mesoscooters with needles of 0.5 mm or less have the least cosmetic effect. But if you engage in skin rejuvenation in time, then their use will be enough to look younger than your age until you are very old.

A mesoscooter is a truly effective device. The very essence of its use consists of applying a special product to the skin and treating it with a dermaroller. As a result, all important substances penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin. But the problem is that home use will not bring the same effect as professional use of the device by a cosmetologist.

Mesoscooters are often advertised as a miracle device that can save you from a lot of problems.
They remove scars and wrinkles and stimulate collagen production. But the fact is that such an effect is only possible from a professional mesoscooter. Home devices, whose needles do not exceed 0.5 mm in length, give only a slight effect. You can’t use dermo-roddlers with long needles at home, as you can harm yourself. Regular use of a mesoscooter helps solve skin problems. The device can fight wrinkles and scars on the face. The roller massager makes the skin tone uniform, giving it softness and smoothness.

Advantages and disadvantages of mesoscooter devices

The ease of use of dermarollers has been appreciated by thousands of women around the world. The benefits of home mesotherapy include:

• Effectiveness of sessions. Noticeable positive changes appear after the first procedure.
• Ease of the procedure.
• The safety of mesotherapy provided that all the rules suggested in the instructions are followed.

The use of mesoscooters can be compared in terms of effectiveness with other innovative methods of body rejuvenation.

The devices also have their disadvantages, the most important ones being discomfort and the risk of developing allergies to the cosmetics used during the procedure.

Failure to comply with the session technique can cause:

• Formation of swelling and hematomas;
• Severe redness of the skin;
• Fibrosis;
• The appearance of age spots.

Care and careful handling of the device

Any, even the highest quality mesoroller, is designed only for use during one course of mesotherapy.

The needles of the device are thin, so handling the roller requires careful and delicate care.

The mesoscooter must be treated with the above-mentioned antiseptics before and after the session.

The dried device is stored with a protective cover placed on the roller or placed in the tube case that comes with it.

When operating the device, you must handle the working surface with extreme caution, avoiding strong mechanical impact on the needles.

There is no need to place the device with needles on hard surfaces; it is not allowed to drop or hit it. The slightest careless impact leads to deformation of the needles, and such a device becomes unsuitable for use.

Instructions for use

Correct use of a mesoscooter will allow you to rejuvenate your face and cope with many problems. Violation of technology can lead to unpleasant consequences and cause harm to the body.

The duration of one session is approximately a quarter of an hour.

Standard mesoscooter

Tool processing

Before starting the manipulation, you need to prepare the instrument itself. The mesoscooter must be disinfected with chlorhexidine or alcohol. To do this, place the roller in a disinfection solution for several minutes.

After this, the device is taken out to dry and positioned so that its needles do not touch foreign objects. When the roller is dry, it can be used for cosmetic procedures.

When immersing the roller in a disinfection solution, it is advisable to avoid contact of the needles with the walls of the vessel so that they do not become dull.

Carrying out the procedure

Roller work must be performed without the use of force.

Order of conduct:

1. Cleansing skin and removing cosmetics.
2. Treating the face with an antiseptic.
3. If needles from 0.1 cm are used to perform the procedure, then the skin is treated with an anesthetic composition.
4. Apply the cosmetic preparation for the procedure in an even layer.
5. The roller performs movements in various directions (longitudinal, transverse and at an angle), and the device must pass five times in each direction.
6. After the procedure is completed, the face is treated with an antiseptic solution.
7. Apply a moisturizing or active cream.
8. The mesoscooter is cleaned and disinfected.
9. After processing, the device is placed in a case.

Only special cosmetic cocktails that are designed specifically for this procedure are suitable for mesotherapy.

Reviews from practicing cosmetologists

Cosmetologists who professionally engage in facial rejuvenation in various ways have an ambiguous attitude towards the mesoscooter.

Some of them regularly use the innovative device in their work and see real changes in the condition of the skin of their clients.

Some cosmetologists, after several attempts at mesotherapy procedures, were disappointed in the operation of the device.

Such conflicting opinions are explained by the fact that dermarollers, like any other product, have their own disadvantages, advantages and features of use.

Many cosmetologists give preference to other modern methods of influencing the epidermis in order to enhance regeneration processes.

Contraindications

Mesotherapy using a roller is prohibited in some situations.

Strict contraindications to using a mesoscooter for cosmetic purposes are:

• the presence of skin damage in the form of unhealed wounds or burns;
• dermatological diseases of the facial skin;
• presence of neoplasms;
• pregnancy;
• viral and other infections;
• bad feeling;
• recovery period after injuries and illnesses.

Reviews

Oksana Ivanovna, 34 years old.

“I took a course of mesotherapy about two years ago in an elite salon. The procedure is quite expensive, but the effect was pleasing - the skin tightened, bags under the eyes and fine wrinkles disappeared.

This year I purchased a device for independent use, the result is not so noticeable, but it is there.

I hope that in the near future I will be able to afford sessions with a professional cosmetologist.”

Maryana, 35 years old.

“The mesoscooter will rejuvenate the skin only if the composition of the facial serum is selected by a specialist.

The first time I was advised to purchase the concentrate when purchasing the device itself, I did not see too noticeable skin rejuvenation.

About six months after this, I had a consultation with a cosmetologist, and it was she who prescribed me a product suitable both for my skin type and for solving the main defect - sagging, pastosity and hyperpigmentation. I noticed changes that pleased me already in the third week of the procedures.”

Natalia, 37 years old.

“Recently, I have been an opponent of mesoscooters, or rather their home use. Home mesotherapy sessions left my face in a terrible state - small reddish pimples, flaky spots appeared, and my skin itched for a long time.

I don’t know what exactly this is connected with - with the serum or with the influence of the device itself, I probably won’t dare to carry out such an execution again.”

Karina, 33 years old.

“I bought a dermaroller online. I’ve been using it together with the serum for three weeks now, my face tone has increased, my pores have narrowed, and my elasticity has increased. I will complete the course and appreciate all the advantages of this compact and easy-to-use device.”

Julia, 31 years old.

“I bought a mesoscooter hoping to use it to get rid of pigment spots on my cheeks and forehead. After the course of treatment, the color intensity of the spots decreased, but the size remained the same.

I’ll repeat the sessions in a month, I hope I can get rid of my problem.”
