Mesotherapy is an injection of hyaluronic acid or special vitamins that are injected under the skin. Thanks to this method, beneficial substances penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis, make the skin soft, taut and youthful, and slow down the aging process.

Features of the procedure at home

In cosmetology clinics and beauty salons, the mesotherapy procedure is carried out by specialists. The course of treatment is recommended to start after 30 years. But if it is not possible to visit the salons, then you can do everything yourself.

Mesotherapy at home is possible if you purchase a special mesoscooter apparatus. It is a small roller studded with needles. Using these needles, the drug is evenly distributed over the skin.

The only disadvantage of home procedures is that the mesoscooter needles cannot penetrate into the deeper layers of the dermis.

The substances that are injected into the skin get rid of acne, acne, wrinkles and other imperfections.

As a rejuvenating cocktail, you can use:

  • Synthetic compound that fills wrinkles and removes wrinkles.
  • Natural active ingredients: collagen, elastin, proteins, amino acids, vitamins.

  3. Pick up the gezatone m8800 massager and make several movements: up to hair growth and down to the neck. The device should be treated with an alcohol solution before use.
  4. After the procedure, the face must be left alone for 10 minutes, then rinsed with a gel for washing. It is advisable to apply an anti-inflammatory cream. It will reduce redness.

Not only facial mesotherapy at home is possible with this device. The Gezatone m8800 massager is suitable for the care of the neck and décolleté area.

  1. The skin has become firmer and more elastic.
  2. Almost all wrinkles have disappeared.
  3. The color and shape of the face have improved.

Precautionary measures

Through punctures on the skin, a cocktail of nutrients penetrates inside and begins its effect. Home procedures, which are more gentle than salon ones, since the depth of the injections is small, but still have a positive effect.

But in order to achieve a good result, the device must be used correctly. Otherwise, very noticeable bruises and abrasions can form on the face. If the roller is not properly maintained, an infection can enter the wound, which can cause significant damage to the skin.

Therefore, it is very important to rinse the device and treat it with an antiseptic after each use. Your video should not be allowed to be used by another person.

Needleless mesotherapy

For those who do not want to endure piercing pain, there are special techniques. For home use, you can purchase a device that combines several options for mesotherapy, for example, the Gezatone massager. It can be used to carry out phonophoresis at home. This method consists in the action of ultrasonic waves and special drugs on the body. Ultrasound significantly increases the therapeutic effect, and the absence of punctures allows you to avoid side effects in the form of redness, bruising, and bruising.

Using the procedure, you can:

  • Improve skin tone and elasticity.
  • Stimulate the hydration of the epidermis.
  • To activate blood circulation.
  • The interaction of biologically active substances and drugs.

Needleless mesotherapy is much safer than other anti-aging methods and does not bring any painful sensations. Besides, Gezatone is quite affordable and easy to use.

Side effects and contraindications

Before carrying out anti-aging procedures, it is necessary to consult a dermatologist, since mesotherapy has its own side effects and contraindications.

Among the disadvantages of the procedure are:

  1. After the session, there are side effects such as swelling, itching, redness. They pass in a few days, but during this period they can cause a lot of trouble.
  2. Vitamin mixtures that are injected into the skin cannot be used frequently. The drug must be changed so that the body does not get used to it.
  3. The procedure is contraindicated for pregnant women and women over 55 years old.

Mesotherapy should not be carried out for people with fungal skin diseases, if a chemical or laser peel has recently been done, suffering from diabetes mellitus or poor blood clotting.

It is also worth remembering that mesotherapy is quite painful.

To avoid the occurrence of side effects, before starting rejuvenation, it is better to visit a doctor, undergo all the necessary examinations. To determine if there are any diseases for which mesotherapy is contraindicated.

  2. Svetlana, 30 years old “I noticed the gezatone massager for a long time, but I thought it was too early for me to use it. The shop assistants convinced me that there would be no harm. And I don’t regret it a bit. The skin is so smooth and toned! I got a few years younger ”.

Can mesotherapy be carried out at home, this question worries many of the fair sex. After all, as a rule, rejuvenating facial procedures are carried out in special salons. It is worth noting that this is not just a rejuvenating, but also a healing procedure. It has become so popular that many salons offer a similar method. It is believed that mesotherapy can be carried out at home. For this, special devices and additional tools are sold. But without experience with such units, it will be difficult to achieve the desired result.

Indications for mesotherapy

This method was previously used in medicine. But after that it became clear that in a similar way it is possible to successfully rejuvenate the skin of the face, and mesotherapy began to be used in cosmetology. At the same time, this method quickly gained popularity, as it showed high efficiency, which can be achieved in a short time.

Now mesotherapy is used not only to eliminate wrinkles and tighten the skin, but also to treat many dermatological pathologies.

This method will be useful in the following cases:

  • with rosacea, that is, with the accumulation of spider veins on the face;
  • in the presence of age spots;
  • with increased oily skin;
  • with enlarged pores;
  • with a dull complexion, deformation of the oval;
  • with drooping cheeks.

Mesotherapy gives a simply amazing effect on the appearance of fine wrinkles, loss of skin elasticity and firmness, which is inevitable with age. But this method will be useful not only for the face. Mesotherapy is also used on the scalp. In this case, the remedy will help with the appearance of dandruff. Those people who suffer from pathologies of the nervous system, which manifests itself in the form of twitching of the muscles on the face, can also use mesotherapy.

This cosmetological method will be useful not only for treatment, but also for prevention. Therefore, women try to undergo such procedures before there are noticeable signs of skin aging. Mesotherapy can be an excellent face preparation for other procedures. It is useful to do it before a skin peeling and resurfacing session and after such events. Mesotherapy is considered so beneficial that it is prescribed even to get rid of scars and keloid scars. In a few sessions, not a trace of these defects will remain.

Mesotherapy has many positive aspects. Therefore, this method gained popularity very quickly. Among the indisputable advantages, it is necessary to note a high level of safety and efficiency, which most other cosmetic procedures will not give.

In general, there are no particular difficulties in performing such a procedure. The main thing is to choose the right serum or healing gel. 70% of success depends on this.

After all the necessary components are purchased, it is necessary to thoroughly cleanse the skin of the face. Various scrubs work well for this. Additionally, an antiseptic and anesthetic should be applied to the skin. It all depends on the presence or absence of allergic reactions in the patient. If nothing similar has been noted for any antibiotic, lidocaine can be used as a proven and inexpensive remedy.

Before starting the procedure, the part of the apparatus that will touch the skin must be disinfected. The mesoscooter head can simply be dipped in alcohol.

The next step is to apply a serum that experts call. After that, the head of the mesoscooter should be carried over the face. All movements should correspond to the scheme of treatment in the presence of a particular problem. Most often, it is recommended to carry out from the bridge of the nose to the temples and from the nose to the chin, and then to the ears.

This is the optimal regimen for general facial rejuvenation. To get a good result, you need to use the roller in each direction 10 times. In this case, it is very important to press the device correctly. This should be light pressure. If you press lightly, there will be no desired effect. But even with strong pressure, you should not expect a good result, as this threatens with side effects.

After the completion of the procedure, the skin is applied nourishing mask... At this time, it is necessary to disinfect the device. This will end the home mesotherapy session.

It should be borne in mind that experienced craftsmen will have a more noticeable effect than those who use the mesoscooter for the first time. But do not despair, with experience the result will come. The main thing in this case is not to overdo it so as not to get side effects from the procedure.

Such a device will be useful not only on the face, but also on. Here, using a mesoscooter can eliminate dandruff and thicken hair with multiple sessions.

How to choose a device for home rejuvenation?

Mesoscooter is an apparatus in which a rotating roller with needles plays the main role. They are very thin and are made of stainless steel or an alloy of gold, silver or platinum. Depending on this, the price of the device and the final result will differ significantly. But to a greater extent, the effectiveness of mesotherapy is influenced by a serum or gel applied to the skin.

One of the highest quality is considered the device for mesotherapy at home Perfect Photo Poring. This is a Japanese device that works, among other things, due to light radiation and. This is a very expensive device, but the quality and efficiency of the procedures when using it will be at the highest level.

The French mesoscooter Beauty Iris Gezaton (GezatoneBeauty IRIS m709) can compete with the Japanese device. Its main advantage is its relatively low price, especially in comparison with the previous version. This device is 15 times cheaper. Moreover, its effectiveness is also at a high level. With the help of such a device, it is possible to solve various problems with the skin, regardless of the severity of the pathology.

The American device Gezaton M9000 (Gezatone) is also in the top three. In his homeland, he has no equal in popularity. The reason for this is the relatively low price and wide range of the device. With this device, you can achieve excellent results in skin rejuvenation and elimination of various defects on it. In this case, the effect will be no worse than after the salon.

Preparations for mesotherapy

After the device for home mesotherapy is selected, it is necessary to decide on the serum, since most of the success of such an event depends on it. Here it is best to consult with a specialist who will suggest a remedy to deal with a specific problem. Only with a properly selected meso cocktail can a good result be achieved.

The composition of ready-made serums may vary, but most often this includes hyaluronic, ascorbic, glycolic and thioctic acids, collagen, elastin, a set of vitamins and trace elements, plant extracts, as well as peptide complexes. Sometimes animal extracts, dehydroergotamine and placenthex are present.

Precautionary measures

To get a good result, you cannot mix the meso cocktail yourself. Serum can only be used in the form in which it was purchased. In addition, it should be remembered that the effect will last for a long time only when a course of mesotherapy is carried out.

Before starting such a procedure as at home, you need to make sure that there are no contraindications. You should not use the mesoscooter during pregnancy, in the presence of viral or infectious ailments, with oncology, renal failure, hypertension, as well as with cholelithiasis. Contraindications also include diabetes, damage to the skin of the face and the presence of a pacemaker. Do not carry out mesotherapy immediately after chemical peeling.

Techniques and methods of mesotherapy

Due to its high efficiency and popularity mesotherapy, this method has had many different variations in a relatively short period of time. Not only the drugs used differ, but also the methods and techniques for introducing these substances into the skin. Each of the methods used has its own advantages and disadvantages. At the consultation, doctors and cosmetologists can explain to the patient in detail what kind of technique will be used in his case, and what caused such a choice.

What devices, syringes and needles are used for mesotherapy?

In mesotherapy, a lot of different technical devices are used, which are designed to make the procedure more effective and facilitate the work of a specialist. Classical mesotherapy, in principle, can be carried out even with a conventional syringe and a set of ampoules with the necessary drugs. However, for some types of this procedure, more serious equipment is required.

Disposable syringes for mesotherapy are used to exclude the possibility of transmission of a number of infectious diseases ( HIV, viral hepatitis, etc.). The thickness and shape of the needle depends on the type of procedure. For example, for intradermal injection of drugs at a shallow depth, thinner needles are needed.

From devices to the classic ( injection) mesotherapy, the most common are mesoscooters and mesoinjectors of various designs, which are designed to partially or completely automate the process of drug administration.

Special equipment is necessary for the following types of non-injection mesotherapy:

  • electroporation;
  • laser;
  • ultrasonic;
  • gas-liquid, etc.
The main requirement for any equipment for mesotherapy or related preparatory procedures is the sterility of the needles. Many devices must have special disposable tips ( in places of contact with skin).

How is mesotherapy carried out?

Conventionally, in each procedure, you can perform several stages. Contrary to popular belief, these steps are not limited to the time spent in the beauty parlor. Achieving a good result will require the efforts of not only a competent specialist, but also the patient himself.

In carrying out mesotherapy, the following stages can be distinguished:

  • Self-preparation. The patient should not drink a lot of alcohol and take certain medications 1 - 2 days before the procedure ( at a preliminary consultation, the doctor can more accurately indicate which).
  • Preparing the patient in the clinic. Some patients may be better off taking sedatives before the procedure. Also, with some types of mesotherapy, pain relievers may be prescribed immediately before injections.
  • Allergic test. Before the introduction of new drugs into the skin, the doctor should make an allergy test to make sure that the patient's body reacts normally to the injected substance. This will eliminate a number of serious complications during the procedure.
  • The procedure itself. Mesotherapy itself is pretty simple. Doctor different ways (by injection or alternative methods) injects certain drugs into the skin.
  • The period after the procedure. Depending on what the purpose of the mesotherapy was, you may need some skin care after the procedure. As a rule, the doctor explains all the details to the patient in detail, and this stage takes place at home.

Slimming mesotherapy ( cellulite, fat burning, lipolytic)

Mesotherapy can be effectively used as one of the methods of fighting cellulite. A pathological accumulation of adipose tissue most often represents an excessive accumulation of these substances in the subcutaneous fatty tissue. With the introduction of special lipolytic drugs that break down fats to a sufficient depth, a good local effect can be achieved. For example, anti-cellulite mesotherapy of the abdomen or the elimination of a double chin is widespread.

Slimming mesotherapy has the following features:

  • sufficiently deep administration of drugs;
  • the need for a course of several procedures to consolidate the effect;
  • gradual elimination of adipose tissue ( split fats are excreted by the body itself, naturally).
For a more stable effect of mesotherapy, it is recommended to combine it with a diet and other methods of fighting excess weight. It is best to consult a nutritionist, endocrinologist or other doctor who can determine the cause of excess fat accumulation before contacting a clique. Medical elimination of the cause will avoid re-gaining weight, and mesotherapy will quickly relieve the patient of the existing excess adipose tissue. Unlike losing weight or exercising, which affects the entire body, here we are talking about the targeted breakdown of fats in a specific area.

Lifting ( facelift)

Lifting is a cosmetic procedure, which consists in "tightening" the skin, which loses its elasticity with age. Most often, patients seek lifting in the face and neck area ( here wrinkles appear earlier and are more noticeable). To achieve this effect in mesotherapy there are different methods... It should also be noted that not all lifting belongs to mesotherapy. It is possible, for example, to tighten the skin of the face with the help of plastic surgery.

Face lifting with the help of mesotherapy methods can be done as follows:

  • Filler mesotherapy. Special gels are injected under the skin or between its layers, which do not completely dissolve. They kind of raise the surface and provide tension, smoothing out wrinkles.
  • Biorevitalization. This method involves the introduction of hyaluronic acid, which stimulates the production of connective tissue fibers. This makes the skin firmer and more elastic.
  • Other substances that stimulate the production of connective tissue. In addition to hyaluronic acid, there are other drugs that can be administered to improve skin firmness ( collagen, some vitamin cocktails, amino acids, etc.).
In each specific case the doctor can suggest which type of lifting is best for the patient.

Electroporation ( current mesotherapy)

Electroporation is called exposure to the skin. electric current with certain physical characteristics. In terms of its therapeutic effect, this method is similar to mesotherapy. In combination with medications, some experts refer it to the so-called non-injection mesotherapy. The fact is that many biological structures in the thickness of the skin function on the basis of minimal bioelectric impulses. This applies to vascular tone ( smooth muscle cells in the walls), pores, ion channels of cells. During electroporation, the curative current increases the permeability of the pores in the skin. This improves the flow of medicinal substances into the tissue. Unlike classical mesotherapy, drugs cannot penetrate also deeply, forming a kind of "depot" that will dissolve for some time. On the other hand, the current stimulates metabolic processes, as well as minimal injuries during injections. The risk of various complications with electroporation is somewhat lower.

Like classical mesotherapy, electroporation can help with the following problems:

  • premature aging of the skin ( wrinkles, reduced elasticity);
  • rosacea, etc.
Sometimes electroporation courses are alternated with mesotherapy courses in order to achieve a more pronounced and lasting therapeutic effect. The possibility of using this method of treatment for specific skin problems and diseases should be discussed with a dermatologist or beautician.

Plasmolifting

Plasmolifting is a technique in aesthetic mesotherapy, which is most often used to combat the signs of aging. The "lifting" effect ( smoothing wrinkles and tightening the skin) is achieved by injecting the patient's own plasma. Thus, the "material" for the procedure is preliminarily obtained from the patient's own blood. The procedure stimulates metabolic processes and activates immune defense mechanisms. The structure of the connective tissue is restored, due to which wrinkles are quickly smoothed out. The effect of the plasmolifting course can last from several months to several years. It depends on the individual characteristics of the organism.

Mesoinjector ( mesotherapy gun)

Mesoinjectors are modified syringes for more accurate injection mesotherapy. These are a kind of apparatus that can have a different design. A common feature for all models is the possibility of strict adherence to dosage, adjustment of the injection depth and the angle of needle insertion.

Mesoinjectors are widely used not only in specialized clinics and salons. Special models have been developed for home skin care. With strict adherence to the instructions, this allows you to avoid various complications and side effects from the procedure.

Nappage ( bedspread, picotage, papular technique)

This technique is widely used in mesotherapy, if the drug needs to be injected at a shallow depth ( about 0.5mm). The needle is usually inserted at a sharp angle so that the drug gets into the uppermost layer of the skin - the epidermis. The minimum insertion depth explains a number of other requirements for this technique. For example, no more than 0.01 - 0.02 ml of the substance is injected per injection so that it is absorbed and absorbed faster. On the surface of the skin during nappage, injections are arranged in a dense mesh ( 0.5 - 1 cm between injection points). This is necessary so that the drug is evenly distributed in the skin, because there are no capillaries in the epidermis that could quickly spread the drug over a large area.

Nappage is most often used for mesotherapy in the face, neck and décolleté area, where deeper needle insertion is fraught with pain or various complications ( vessels and nerves are located close to the surface of the skin).

Rejuvenation

In general, rejuvenation means the elimination of signs of skin aging. In mesotherapy, this effect is achieved through a variety of different procedures and techniques. Various vitamins and minerals, collagen, hyaluronic acid and other substances are used to combat the rapid aging of the skin. As a rule, they all affect the structure of the intercellular substance, the fibers of which are responsible for the elasticity of the skin.

Rejuvenation procedures in mesotherapy involve the elimination of the following cosmetic defects:

  • wrinkles;
  • deep nasolabial folds and grooves;
  • Crow's feet on the sides of the eyes;
  • discoloration of the skin;
  • loose and thin skin.
Common to all methods of rejuvenation is that the effect of the procedure will be temporary. Sooner or later, similar problems will reappear, and the course of treatment will have to be repeated.

Is it possible to do mesotherapy at home on your own?

In principle, mesotherapy is a very safe method of treatment and skin care, so in theory it can be performed at home as well. However, in practice, there are a number of obstacles to this. From a medical point of view, only a few mesotherapy techniques can be successfully applied at home. In most cases, however, such an experiment will not only fail to produce the desired effect, but can lead to various complications.

Mesotherapy at home is not recommended for the following reasons:

  • Lack of sterility. Mesotherapy in salons and clinics takes place in special rooms where the risk of any infection on the skin is minimal. It is quite difficult to achieve this at home, even if you pre-treat the skin with disinfectant solutions. Thus, the risk of infection in wounds from injections increases.
  • Lack of experience. A qualified mesotherapy specialist is familiar with the technique of performing the procedure. He can determine at what depth to inject, at what angle to position the needle and how much of the drug to inject. In addition, doctors and cosmetologists are familiar with the anatomy and physiology of the human body, which eliminates the risk of damaging any important structures. The patient, performing injections at home and not having the necessary skills, can, for example, damage a nerve ( on the face they pass close to the skin), causing serious neurological complications.
  • The need for consultation. In order for mesotherapy to bring the desired result, the patient needs to make the correct diagnosis and correctly determine the nature of the problem. To a man without medical education it is difficult to distinguish telangiectasia from rosacea or age spots. This can lead to the wrong choice of drugs for treatment. In clinics, the patient must be consulted by a cosmetologist or other specialized specialist before the procedure. They not only select the optimal drugs, but they can also discover the root cause of aesthetic problems ( chronic diseases and disorders in the body).
  • Lack of drugs. Currently, mesotherapy drugs can be purchased on their own in some pharmacies or ordered from specialized companies. The problem is that the purchase price in this case will be higher, and the quality of the drugs can be questioned. In addition, it will take more time to formulate a cocktail of several substances, and its therapeutic effect will be lower. Beauty salons, on the other hand, work with large trusted suppliers, store drugs in optimal conditions and thus guarantee the best therapeutic effect.
  • Risk of allergies. Even in large medical centers, where procedures are carried out by highly qualified specialists, there is a risk of unforeseen complications. The most dangerous is an acute allergic reaction to the introduction of drugs into the skin. In extremely rare cases, this can provoke anaphylactic shock or Quincke's edema ( angioedema), representing a potential danger to the patient's life. In the clinic, before mesotherapy, allergic tests are performed to find out the patient's reaction to a particular substance. It is almost impossible to predict it in advance at home. Sometimes shock conditions are observed in people who have never suffered from allergies in their lives. If this happens in a medical facility, specialists are always ready to provide urgent medical assistance. At home, the patient does not have the necessary drugs, which can put his life at risk.
Nevertheless, a number of techniques used in mesotherapy can be used at home as well. First of all, this concerns hardware-based treatment methods. Many devices are produced specifically for home skin care. For example, mesoscooters with adjustable needle length do not traumatize the skin as much as injections. In combination with medicinal creams and ointments, they are quite safe and can provide a good aesthetic and therapeutic effect by stimulating metabolic processes.

In general, mesotherapy for specific problems is preferable to do in specialized institutions with experienced specialists. If you need to carry out procedures at home, you need to consult with a specialist to obtain appropriate recommendations.

Filler mesotherapy

Fillers in mesotherapy are gel-like substances that, after being introduced into the skin, do not dissolve. long time... They are often used for contouring and other procedures aimed at slightly reshaping the face or body. Fillers are also injected into the skin using a special syringe or apparatus. The amount of the introduced substance depends on what kind of effect the patient wants to get in the end. Many experts distinguish filler procedures in a separate area, since in classical mesotherapy drugs are usually used that dissolve rather quickly ( within a few days). Fillers, on the other hand, or their derivatives can remain in the thickness of the tissues for several months, maintaining, for example, the tension of the skin. These gels are made from special materials that virtually eliminate the risk of allergic reactions or a pronounced immune response.

Are the injections painful ( injections) with mesotherapy?

In classical mesotherapy, injections are performed with special thin needles, which allow minimizing tissue damage. Due to this, pain during the procedure itself is also reduced. In general, the patient's feelings are largely subjective and depend on many factors. If necessary, it is allowed to treat the skin area before the procedure with special anesthetic agents. This makes mesotherapy more comfortable for patients.

In general, the intensity of pain from injections during mesotherapy depends on the following factors:

  • needle thickness;
  • the depth of drug injection;
  • peculiarities medicines;
  • injection area ( skin on the face, for example, is more sensitive than on the back or arms);
  • individual characteristics of the organism;
  • the presence of various skin problems and dermatological pathologies ( for example, in psoriasis or scleroderma, the sensitivity of the skin in the affected area decreases, and in acne it may be increased).
In each case, the doctor discusses with the patient the pros and cons of using pain relievers in advance. In principle, mesotherapy injections are never very painful, since the surface layers of the skin are punctually damaged. The pain can be reflexively intensified if the patient is tense or in advance afraid of injections. In these cases ( if the procedure still needs to be carried out) professionals can prepare the patient with sedatives.

Types of mesotherapy

There are quite a few different types of mesotherapy, each of which can be used for specific purposes. Most often, the name of the species reflects the indications for the procedure ( e.g. anti-cellulite mesotherapy) or the substances used ( oxygen, hyaluronic, etc.). As a rule, in large clinics and salons, most types of this procedure are available to patients.

Non-injection ( needleless, non-invasive)

Non-invasive mesotherapy is a set of methods for carrying out this procedure, in which there is no mechanical violation of the integrity of the skin. In other words, unlike classical mesotherapy, there are no drug injections here. Everything necessary substances delivered to the skin by alternative means. This reduces the risk of various complications and makes the procedure more accessible for some patients ( the number of contraindications decreases).

The following types of non-injection mesotherapy are most common:
  • Electroporation. The medicine is delivered to the body through electrical impulses and an electromagnetic field acting on the skin ( the effect is similar to electrophoresis).
  • Laser mesotherapy. The skin is exposed to a special laser, which increases its permeability to drug molecules.
  • Ultrasonic mesotherapy. The drug is injected into the skin by exposure to ultrasonic waves.
  • Gas-liquid mesotherapy. Medicines are a mixture of a liquid solution and air, which is applied under great pressure to the surface of the skin.
In almost all cases of non-injection mesotherapy, special devices and specialists who can work with them are needed. The choice of treatment method depends on the indications and contraindications in a particular patient.

Hardware

Currently, mesotherapy is used quite a large number of various devices and devices that can make the procedure more effective. Each device has its own advantages and disadvantages, so a qualified specialist should choose a treatment method. The main advantage of any hardware method is the reduction of the human factor. In other words, it reduces the risk of medical errors, which sometimes lead to complications or side effects.

Conventionally, all mesotherapy devices can be divided into two large groups:

  • Injection. The design of this group of devices involves the introduction of special thin needles at a given depth. You can also adjust the distance between the injection sites and the depth of entry of the needles into the tissue. The advantage of this method is the preservation of the healing effect from physical damage. Microinjections are perceived by the body as a violation of the integrity of the skin. Because of this, even without the introduction of special drugs, collagen production improves, blood circulation is stimulated and immune cells are activated.
  • Non-injection. Non-injection devices are used to inject medicinal substances into the skin, various types of physical or chemical effects ( laser, ultrasound, etc.). In each specific case, it is required to configure certain parameters ( in addition to the selection of a medicinal substance). The doctor or beautician performing the procedure must be familiar with the operation of the apparatus he is using.
As a rule, patients perceive mesotherapy apparatus as a more progressive and effective method of treatment. In fact, a qualified doctor with extensive experience can achieve the same result ( and sometimes better) using the classical technique. The main difference is the complexity of the method. Manual injection with syringes takes longer and requires more effort ( concentration of attention, physical stress) from a specialist. In general, we can say that hardware techniques are definitely preferable when it comes to processing a large area of ​​skin ( e.g. mesotherapy against cellulite on the abdomen). When removing small age spots or spider veins, the difference between hardware mesotherapy and the classical technique is not so fundamental.

Mesoscooter

The mesoscooter is a small apparatus resembling a roller with thin needles on the surface. This device can be used for some types of mesotherapy ( including at home). In this case, microtrauma is provided in a certain area of ​​the skin, which in itself activates many biochemical and physiological processes. With the subsequent application of medicinal substances to the treated skin ( ointments, solutions, gels, etc.) there is a faster and more complete absorption. The drugs get into the deeper layers of the skin and more effectively affect the tissues.

In cosmetology centers, there are various types of mesoscooters that are necessary for specific procedures. However, these devices are also available for sale. Periodic use of the mesoscooter ( on healthy skin ) at home protects the skin from rapid aging. In fact, procedures with a mesoscooter ( even without the use of various drugs) represent a non-specific prevention of many dermatological diseases and cosmetic problems.

Laser

Laser mesotherapy refers to non-injection techniques for delivering drugs to the skin. The essence of the method consists in preliminary surface treatment with a special laser, which acts on the surface layers ( epidermis). As a result of this effect, the skin is cleansed of dead and dead cells. After that, a cocktail of medicinal preparations applied to it will penetrate deeper into the thickness of the skin. The main advantage of the method is its complete painlessness for the patient. In addition, the laser itself with the correct physical characteristics has a general healing effect on the skin.

Most often, laser mesotherapy is used in the following cases:

  • preventive cleansing and skin care;
  • elimination of signs of aging;
  • acne and some other skin diseases;
  • dark spots and etc.

Microneedle ( nano-needles)

Microneedle mesotherapy differs from the classical one, since in this case the procedure is carried out using a special apparatus. Injections are performed at the same distance from each other, and the depth of penetration of the needles and the dose are clearly adjustable. This method involves the use of thinner needles through which medicinal substances are injected. This reduces the risk of any side effects ( the procedure has fewer contraindications). Also, pre-treatment of the skin with anesthetic substances is not required, because the injury is less pronounced.

Whitening

Whitening mesotherapy is a procedure aimed at restoring normal skin color. It can be carried out with various drugs that are designed to affect melanocytes ( skin cells that produce dark pigment) and vascular tone. In each specific case, experts select an individual composition of therapeutic cocktails. Most often, bleaching mesotherapy is done on the face, in the décolleté or on the hands. To achieve the result, 1-2 courses of injections are required.

Drainage

Drainage mesotherapy is sometimes called a procedure aimed at stimulating the skin and subcutaneous vessels. For this, drugs are used that affect the cells that make up the vessels. Increasing the permeability of the walls and widening the lumen allow for faster diffusion. Due to this, various metabolic products and harmful chemical compounds are removed from the skin. In other words, after the procedure, there is a kind of "drainage" and tissue cleansing. This type of mesotherapy can be used, for example, to combat obesity.

Trunk

The name "trunk mesotherapy" comes from the name of the cocktail, which is used in some cases for procedures. The main cocktail is a mixture of vasoactive substances ( affecting blood vessels). The effect of its use is reminiscent of drainage mesotherapy. The main task of the procedure is to rid tissues of excess fluid and remove harmful substances. Trunk mesotherapy can be carried out for prophylactic purposes to accelerate metabolism and complex skin healing.

Ultrasonic

Ultrasonic mesotherapy is one of the non-injection methods for introducing drugs into the skin. With this procedure, you can use almost the same substances as with mesotherapy. A special device, by generating ultrasonic waves of a given frequency, ensures the penetration of drug molecules to different depths. This phenomenon is called phonophoresis in medicine.

Ultrasonic mesotherapy has the following advantages:

  • no direct damage to the skin;
  • administration of drugs using special devices ( the risk of medical errors is reduced);
  • stimulation of metabolic processes in the skin, not only due to the injected drug, but also due to the effects of ultrasonic waves;
  • low risk of some complications ( bruises, infectious complications, etc.);
  • painlessness of the procedure.
The main disadvantage is the higher cost of the procedure. This is due to the need for the clinic to purchase special devices. Also, there are no micro-damages of tissues, which in some cases can be useful ( stimulate the natural regeneration of skin cells in the damaged area).

Cosmetology

The concept of "cosmetological mesotherapy" is not entirely correct, since any type of mesotherapy to one degree or another is a section of cosmetology. Sometimes cosmetology is called aesthetic mesotherapy. It combines all types of this procedure aimed at improving the patient's appearance, maintaining healthy skin or eliminating cosmetic defects. In other words, aesthetic mesotherapy is not performed for any specific pathologies ( as opposed to medical). This procedure is not prescribed by a doctor. The patient decides for himself whether he should go to the clinic for aesthetic mesotherapy, because the result of the procedure will be certain external changes.

Gas-liquid

Gas-liquid mesotherapy is one of the types of non-injection mesotherapy, that is, no injections are made to inject medications into the skin. The procedure is performed using a special apparatus that creates a gas-liquid mixture of drugs and directs it to the skin under high pressure. High pressure at the outlet and a small in diameter outlet ( about 0.1mm) leads to the formation of microscopic droplets. They bombard the skin and, due to their high speed, penetrate into the deep layers.

Gas-liquid mesotherapy has the following advantages:

  • in parallel with the introduction of drugs, saturates the layers of the skin with oxygen;
  • low risk of various complications;
  • effective cleansing of the upper layers of the skin from dying cells;
  • the procedure is painless for the patient ( no pain relievers required);
  • non-contact mechanical effect on blood and lymph vessels ( air pressure is similar in effect to massage);
  • the ability to use most of the drugs used in classical mesotherapy.
The disadvantage of this procedure is the absence of tissue damage, which is sometimes also useful, as it stimulates cell growth. In addition, with gas-liquid mesotherapy, it is more difficult to accurately calculate the dose of the drug. It is difficult for the patient to determine whether this method is suitable for him, therefore, it is better to consult with a specialist before the procedure.

Classic

Classical mesotherapy involves injection methods of introducing drugs into the thickness of the skin or ( less often) into deeper tissues. Within the framework of classical mesotherapy, there are also various techniques that differ mainly in the depth of drug injection, the distribution of injection points, the thickness of the needles, etc. As a rule, the volume of the drug injected with each injection is 0.02 - 0.2 ml ... In classical mesotherapy, substances are used that are completely absorbed and absorbed by the body within a few days.

Contour plastic

In a broad sense, contouring is one of the types of mesotherapy, although some experts refer it to a separate direction in cosmetology. The essence of the procedure is to inject dense gels ( usually based on hyaluronic acid), which can give the body or parts of it the desired shape. Most often, contouring is performed on the face in order to combat wrinkles. This procedure can also give the desired shape to the lips, nasolabial folds, etc. The introduction of the gel under the skin provides tension of the surface layers for a rather long time, which temporarily eliminates the signs of aging.

Preparation for contour plastics and the main contraindications coincide with those in the case of mesotherapy. Unlike mesotherapy, when rapidly absorbable substances and medicines are injected into the skin, the effect of contour plastics can last up to several years ( depends on the individual characteristics of the organism). Sometimes this method is used in combination with other types of skin exposure. In each individual case, the possibility of such combinations is discussed in advance with a specialist.

Complications, side effects and consequences of mesotherapy

Despite the fact that mesotherapy is much safer than many others treatment procedures, it does not exclude a number of complications and side effects. Most of these complications are local in nature and do not pose a serious threat to the patient's health or life. Nevertheless, it is necessary to be aware of the possibility of the consequences of the procedure in order to notice them in time and eliminate them.

If we talk about the causes of various complications, then they are usually associated to one degree or another with the human factor. For example, the wrong choice of a drug for a certain problem can not only not give a positive effect, but also aggravate the existing disease.

It is also important to accurately calculate the dose and depth of drug administration. Even minor deviations increase the risk of complications. That is why mesotherapy is best done in large reputable centers and clinics, where experienced certified specialists in this field work.

All side effects and complications after mesotherapy can be divided into two large groups:

  • Specific. Specific complications of mesotherapy are associated with drugs that are administered during this procedure. Incorrectly selected substances can aggravate the problem. For example, with age spots, not only do not remove them, but make them even more visible. Also, allergic reactions are possible for almost any drug. It is rather difficult to predict them, as it depends on the characteristics of the patient's immune system.
  • Non-specific. Nonspecific complications include a number of problems that are directly related to the technique of performing the procedure. It can be bruises after injections, small papules ( blisters on the skin) due to the fact that the drug was injected to the wrong depth, etc.
In general, serious complications of mesotherapy are very rare. Those problems that occasionally appear after the procedure are mainly local and temporary. In most cases, they do not require any treatment or care, but disappear on their own within a few days.

With mesotherapy ( during and after the procedure) the following side effects and complications may occur:

  • Pain. Pain sensations are a subjective criterion for any procedure, since each patient perceives them differently. As a rule, injections to a depth of 0.5 - 1 mm are painless even without the use of painkillers, since the nerves and pain receptors are located in deeper layers. However, skin on the face, lips, chest, or hands is sensitive. In many cases, pain can be avoided by pre-anesthetizing the skin with special drugs. Here, specialists should be careful, as some anesthetics ( painkillers) may cause an allergic reaction. The decision on pain relief is made by the doctor or cosmetologist together with the patient.
  • Redness. Erythema ( local redness at injection sites) appears relatively often, but usually goes away on its own within 15 to 30 minutes. It appears due to the expansion of small blood vessels. If the redness has not gone away within 1 - 2 hours, it is better to notify the specialist who performed the procedure.
  • Hemorrhage. Minor hemorrhages are an almost inevitable part of injection mesotherapy, since during injections, even the thinnest needle injures small vessels. With normal blood clotting and healthy vascular walls, these hemorrhages are not noticeable and pass quickly. If the patient has vascular problems, small bruises or visible subcutaneous hemorrhages may appear after the injections ( petechial rash). Such patients are not recommended to do mesotherapy in principle. They should be prepared for the procedure or give preference to non-injection techniques of exposure to the skin.
  • Allergic reactions. Allergic reactions are the most serious complication of mesotherapy. They arise due to the individual reaction of the body to certain substances. Allergy can manifest itself directly during the procedure or after a while ( 2 - 3 days) after it ( delayed reactions). The most common manifestations of allergies are edema, persistent redness of the skin, urticaria, rash in the area of ​​drug administration. It is extremely rare that severe allergies occur ( Quincke's edema, anaphylactic shock, skin necrosis). In these cases, the patient needs urgent health care to reduce tissue damage and stop the pathological process. In any specialized clinic or salon, patients are usually tested for allergies before the procedure, and the staff has a set of first aid drugs.
  • Edema. Edema may appear due to the reaction of the vessels of the skin to the administration of drugs. This complication is quite rare. As a rule, the edema is limited to the injection site. With severe allergies ( as one of its manifestations) edema can appear in another part of the body, but this is extremely rare. In these cases, you should contact a specialist who will prescribe a short-term course of treatment. The appearance of edema usually does not affect the result of the procedure.
  • Dark spots. Pigmented spots can appear at the injection sites after mesotherapy, if the procedure was carried out for another reason. For example, after mesotherapy against cellulite, small marks sometimes remain at the injection sites, which may disappear on their own over time. Their appearance is associated with the reaction of melanocytes to trauma and the specific effect of the injected drugs on skin cells. With this problem, you can contact the specialist who performed the procedure, and he will prompt an ointment or cream ( sometimes he will prescribe procedures), which will help get rid of such a stain faster.
  • Infectious complications. Infection with mesotherapy is extremely rare. The risk of such a complication exists in the case of using injection techniques, when a foreign object penetrates into the thickness of the skin to different depths ( the needle itself). In theory, the needle can be infected ( mainly bloodborne viruses), but in practice this happens extremely rarely. According to international standards, procedures are performed with disposable needles ( the devices also have the ability to change needles) and all other tools and items in the cabinet are pre-processed. Most often, infectious complications arise from the fact that the patient does not follow the recommendations of a specialist after the procedure.
Not a single patient is insured from the above complications, therefore, when carrying out mesotherapy, you need to be prepared for their appearance. If the consequences of the procedure, in the patient's opinion, pose a threat to his health, create certain inconveniences or are a cosmetic defect, he has every right to seek advice or assistance from the clinic where the procedure was performed.

Bruises

Bruising after mesotherapy is a relatively common complication of this procedure. In many ways, their appearance depends on the initial state of the organism. The bruises themselves represent minor damage to small vessels, due to which some blood enters the tissue. As the blood cells break down, the color of the bruise may change slightly. With injections during mesotherapy, damage to small vessels is almost inevitable.

The risk of bruising after mesotherapy depends on the following factors:

  • Needle thickness. The thinner the needle that is injected, the less vascular damage.
  • Depth of injection. In the surface layers of the skin of blood vessels ( even small) Hardly ever. That is why injections to a depth of 0.5 - 1 mm are almost never accompanied by bruising. Deeper injections ( for example, with lipolytic mesotherapy) are accompanied by significant damage to vessels of a larger diameter.
  • Processing area. The number of blood vessels in different areas of the skin is different, as is the thickness of the skin itself. On the back, for example, bruises almost never appear. On the face ( especially under the eyes) the capillary network is thick and the risk of bruising is higher.
  • The state of the body. In a number of diseases, in some patients, there is a thinning of the walls of blood vessels and a slowdown in blood clotting. Because of this, even injections with thin needles can lead to bruising that lasts a long time. The fragility of the capillaries can also be an individual feature of the organism. For patients who have experienced similar problems in the past, it is better to discuss with the doctor the possibility of non-injection mesotherapy.
  • The volume of the injected drug. The larger the volume of the drug is injected during each injection, the more the layers of the skin are moved apart. This leads to more severe vascular injury, and the risk of bruising increases.

Papules

Papules are small, solitary formations on the skin in the form of small bumps. After mesotherapy, a papule may form at the injection site. It appears, since a certain amount of a medicinal preparation is injected into the thickness of the skin, which pushes the layers of the skin, lifting it. In principle, papules are not considered complications of the procedure, since they do not pose a danger to the patient and often disappear on their own, as the injected drug dissolves.

Swelling of the eyes

Swelling around the eyes is a relatively rare complication of mesotherapy. When medicinal preparations are injected into the eyelid area, this may indicate a local allergic reaction. If the eyelids are very swollen and watery when mesotherapy was carried out in another part of the body, this can be interpreted as a sign of a systemic allergic reaction. The patient should be observed for some time, as further deterioration is possible.

Do traces remain after injections during mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy injection techniques are inevitably accompanied by minor skin lesions that may be visible for some time after the sessions. These may be small blackheads, areas of redness, or bubbles ( if the drug was injected into the superficial layers of the skin). Such traces usually disappear on their own 2 - 3 days after the procedure. In rare cases, they are noticeable for up to 2 to 3 weeks. Then it makes sense to contact a specialist ( dermatologist or cosmetologist), who will advise on special creams or ointments to eliminate the effects of mesotherapy.

Traces after intradermal and subcutaneous injections may be more noticeable in the following cases:

  • fragile capillaries with thin walls ( individual feature of the organism);
  • local allergic reactions;

For cleansing the skin, rejuvenating, giving the appearance of freshness and beauty, vitamin formulations are often used, which are injected under the skin in various ways. We propose to consider how hardware and needleless mesotherapy for the face is done, the principle of doing it at home, and also how much the procedure costs in beauty salons.

  2. Non-injection (similar to a regular massage with a hollow roller dipped in a special solution, this is a good option during pregnancy, lactation, small superficial aesthetic problems of the dermis).

Facial mesotherapy refers to therapeutic injections in the form of individually selected cocktails, which are injected into the middle layer of the skin. Such cocktails may include minerals and vitamins, herbal extracts, amino acids and other substances.

A very thin needle is used for injection, penetrating to a depth of 1.5 to 3.9 mm. Injection mesotherapy can effectively solve many problems associated with the face.

In each case, its action is individual, but the result is always there. The procedure allows you to increase microcirculation in the bloodstream, improve the elasticity and tone of the skin in the injection zone.

While external agents that are applied to the integument cannot penetrate to act on other layers of the skin except the superficial one, mesotherapy cocktails get to the middle layer of the dermis. This makes it possible to activate metabolic processes and speed them up, improve blood circulation and start the processes of cell regeneration.

Session progress, video

During preparation for facial mesotherapy, the beautician should talk to you, learn about diseases and allergies, if any. He will clarify if you have taken any medications and what you expect from mesotherapy. During the conversation, the specialist will be able to select the optimal drugs for you, which will be injected under the skin.

All the patient needs to do is sit in a comfortable chair. The rest will be done by the beautician. First, an allergy test is carried out, since in case of a negative reaction to any of the components, the effect will be spoiled. As such a test, it is assumed that a specialist will introduce a minimum dose of a substance into the wrist area and analyze the reaction.

If a cocktail is planned, it usually uses no more than three ingredients to reduce the risk of an allergic reaction. Many are worried about whether anesthesia is required during mesotherapy. This is determined by the client's threshold of sensitivity. For some clients, mesotherapy does not cause any discomfort, and it feels like a kind of subcutaneous massage.

If the pain scares you, talk to your beautician right away. The face can be pretreated with a special cream, which will include lidocaine, which protects against pain. Thin needles are used for injection. A specialist can carry out the procedure manually or using an injector - a device that doses the injection of a component.
