Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves injecting a combination of active ingredients (such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and other substances) into the mesoderm—the middle layer of the skin. The goal of mesotherapy is to treat a range of skin and body concerns by stimulating circulation, promoting collagen production, and improving the overall health and appearance of the skin.

There are different types of mesotherapy, including:

Facial mesotherapy: Primarily used to rejuvenate and hydrate the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin texture and tone.
Fat loss mesotherapy: Used for body contouring and reducing localized fat deposits, such as on the abdomen, thighs, or love handles.
Hair restoration mesotherapy: Involves injecting hair-restorative ingredients into the scalp to stimulate hair growth and treat hair thinning or alopecia.

Mesotherapy is most commonly used in aesthetic medicine for non-surgical rejuvenation and fat reduction. The treatment is well-known for its versatility and is considered to be relatively painless with minimal downtime.

Indications:

Skin Rejuvenation & Anti-Aging

Fine lines and wrinkles: Mesotherapy helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen and elastin production, which helps restore skin elasticity.
Skin hydration: Mesotherapy is effective in providing deep hydration, leaving the skin looking plumper and more radiant.
Skin tone and texture: It helps to improve overall skin texture and tone, reducing signs of dullness and uneven pigmentation.
Stretch marks: Mesotherapy can be used to reduce the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating collagen production in the affected areas.

Fat Reduction & Body Contouring

Localized fat: Mesotherapy is commonly used for body contouring, targeting areas of stubborn fat that are resistant to diet and exercise (e.g., love handles, double chin, abdomen, and thighs).
Cellulite treatment: It can help improve the appearance of cellulite by increasing blood circulation and breaking down fat cells in the treated areas.

Hair Restoration

Alopecia (hair thinning): Mesotherapy for hair restoration involves injecting vitamins, minerals, and other growth-stimulating substances into the scalp to promote hair growth, improve hair density, and treat conditions like male and female pattern baldness.

Skin Pigmentation & Hyperpigmentation

Sunspots, age spots, and melasma: Mesotherapy can help lighten pigmentation spots and even out skin tone by targeting melanin production in the skin.
Dark circles under the eyes: Mesotherapy may also be used to treat dark circles by improving skin tone and stimulating collagen production in the under-eye area.

Contraindications:

Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Mesotherapy is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to the lack of sufficient safety data for the ingredients used in the injections.

Active skin infections or wounds: If the skin in the treatment area is infected, broken, or inflamed, mesotherapy should not be performed until the skin has healed.

Allergic reactions: People with known allergies to any of the substances used in mesotherapy (such as vitamins, amino acids, or other ingredients) should not undergo the treatment.

Chronic skin conditions: Patients with chronic skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea, may not be suitable candidates for mesotherapy, especially if the affected areas are targeted.

Autoimmune disorders: Individuals with autoimmune disorders or conditions that affect the immune system (such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis) should consult with a healthcare provider before undergoing mesotherapy.

Blood clotting disorders: Mesotherapy is generally not recommended for individuals with blood clotting disorders or those on blood-thinning medication, as it can increase the risk of bruising or bleeding at the injection site.

Aftercare:

Avoid touching the treated area: Refrain from touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours to prevent irritation or infection.

Avoid strenuous activity: Avoid vigorous exercise, sauna sessions, or any activity that may cause excessive sweating for 48 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation and to give the skin time to heal.

No direct sun exposure: It’s important to avoid sun exposure for the first 48 hours after treatment, as the skin will be more sensitive. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) when outdoors.

Cold compress: If there is swelling, redness, or mild bruising, apply a cold compress to the treated area to reduce discomfort.

Avoid hot showers or baths: For the first 24-48 hours, avoid hot showers, baths, or swimming in chlorinated pools to prevent irritation and allow the skin to heal.

No makeup for 24 hours: It’s recommended to avoid wearing makeup or applying any skincare products (except gentle moisturizers or post-procedure creams) for the first 24-48 hours after treatment.

Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and help the body process and eliminate the broken-down fat cells more efficiently.
