Mesotherapy

Principle of Mesotherapy

The technique is based on precise injection of the preparation into the dermis. This way, the active cocktail is evenly distributed and works locally. The substance reaches the targeted skin layer directly, bypassing the digestive tract, which ensures high bioavailability. The effect is enhanced by microtraumas from the needle, which stimulate tissue regeneration and collagen production.

Indications for Mesotherapy

The method is used in cosmetic treatment and prevention of age-related changes. Indications include:

• wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity

• dull complexion, dryness

• localized fat deposits and cellulite on the body

• hair loss and thinning

• stretch marks and scars

• preparation and skin recovery after laser procedures

Contraindications for Mesotherapy

Despite its safety, the procedure has limitations. Contraindications include: acute infections, pregnancy and breastfeeding, oncological diseases, autoimmune disorders, poor blood clotting, and allergy to cocktail components. A doctor’s consultation is required before starting the course.

How Mesotherapy is Performed

A session lasts about 30–60 minutes. The cosmetologist cleanses the skin, applies an anesthetic cream, and injects the preparation using a fine needle or mesoinjector. The injection depth is 1–4 mm depending on the area. After the procedure, the skin may appear slightly swollen or red, but these reactions usually subside within 1–2 days.

Preparation for Mesotherapy

No special preparation is required. A few days before the procedure, it is recommended to avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medications, and sauna visits. The cosmetologist also checks for chronic diseases and selects the optimal cocktail composition.

Aftercare Recommendations

To maintain results and avoid complications, patients should:

• avoid touching the skin for the first few hours

• refrain from using cosmetics for 24 hours

• avoid baths, swimming pools, and intense workouts for 2–3 days

• use SPF cream when exposed to sunlight

Effects and Results of Mesotherapy

Patients often notice improvements after 2–3 sessions. The skin becomes smoother, wrinkles diminish, elasticity increases, and the face gains a fresher tone. In hair treatment, growth and density improve. For long-lasting results, a course of 5–10 sessions with subsequent maintenance treatment is required.

Types of Mesotherapy

Several variations of the method exist:

• Classic mesotherapy — manual injection with a needle

• Hardware mesotherapy — using a mesoinjector or injection gun

• Fractional mesotherapy — microinjections across the skin surface

• Needle-free mesotherapy (electroporation, ultrasound) — delivery of active substances without injections

• Capillary mesotherapy — for hair loss treatment

Components for Mesotherapy

The composition is selected individually. Most commonly used are:

• B vitamins, C, E

• amino acids and peptides

• hyaluronic acid for hydration

• lipolytics for body contouring

• trace elements and antioxidants

The cocktail may contain from 2 to 10 substances, with dosage measured in milliliters and calculated for each treatment area.
