During the procedure of mesotherapy, small doses of medicinal or biologically active drugs are locally administered to the middle layer of the skin. This procedure is performed in two versions: manual (using a syringe for 1-3 ml with a needle of 0.3 mm) and hardware (can be performed by individual injections, by a queue, using an electronic or mechanical mezzo-injector).
In aesthetic medicine mesotherapy can solve several problems:
- elimination of scars;
- figure correction;
- elimination of cellulite;
- the solution of problems with the skin (acne, etc.);
- preventive and therapeutic actions against skin aging.
This procedure at the natural level triggers the natural processes of cell regeneration, the skin is renewed and rejuvenated. The medicinal substances introduced into the skin act from the inside, they increase blood circulation in the subcutaneous tissue, accelerate metabolism (metabolic processes) and, as a result, cell renewal occurs much faster.
The implementation of mesotherapy on the body, as a rule, solves the following medical and cosmetological tasks:
- Elimination of cellulite at different stages of development. Various combinations of drugs (mesococci) can have different effects on the skin, some break down the subcutaneous fat, and others trigger lifting processes in the epidermis.
- Elimination or reduction of defects on the skin: scars, postnatal stretch marks, warts, striae.
- Help with general obesity or local fatty deposits (decrease in the volume of the buttocks, waist, and breeches). For these purposes, powerful lipolytic drugs are used that can break down large volumes of fat deposits.
This procedure has several undeniable advantages in comparison with surgical technology, for example, liposuction. Liposuction is not only unable to eliminate cellulite, but it happens that on the contrary, after surgery, cellulite becomes more noticeable than it was before the operation. Mesotherapy also acts directly on cellulite, which means that as a result, the girl gets an even surface of the skin. Also, a significant advantage is that the use of lipolytic drugs in mesotherapy sufficiently strongly removes fat cells, which subsequently do not tend to appear elsewhere, as happens after liposuction. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, which does not violate the habitual way of life.
When correcting the figure (in particular the treatment of cellulite) with the help of mesotherapy, several points should be considered. First, mesotherapy with regard to cellulite suggests correct diagnosis: it is necessary to establish the true causes of the appearance of cellulite. After determining the causes of cellulite, the specialist must choose an individual cocktail formula that will be most suitable for the patient, i.e. solve all the tasks. Among them can be the following: improvement of skin condition (epidermis and dermis), stimulation of peripheral circulation, strengthening of the vascular network, influence on connective tissue. Mesotherapy will help to cope with cellulite in places such as the stomach, hips, waist, arms, double chin.
Mesotherapy in such zones as the neck, face, decollete and hands should be conducted from two to four times a year. Depending on what the problem is solved the procedure is carried out in the following modes:
- restoration of the face oval: 4-8 procedures;
- elimination of cellulite - 5-15;
- removal of hernias under the eyes - 1-4;
- decrease in volume - 4-10.
The result of the procedure largely depends on the initial state. However, usually after 2-3 procedures the result is already noticeable, sometimes the effect is observed after 1 procedure.
The result remains long in time, however mesotherapy is not magic, this procedure can not stop the aging process. To maintain the effect, it is recommended to carry out the procedure with a preventive purpose once every 2-3 months.
The procedure of mesotherapy does not cause discomfort, but if necessary, you can use local anesthetics.
At the injection site, redness or swelling may occur, which can be removed with Traumeel or Wobenzym ointment.
