Mesotherapy Overview and Versatile Treatment Options
Mesotherapy involves injecting a blend of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and plant extracts into the skin to rejuvenate, and improve skin quality. This technique addresses fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, dehydration, and hair loss.
Benefits and Varieties of Mesotherapy Cocktails
Mesotherapy offers custom cocktails tailored to treat various skin concerns:
- Hyperpigmentation: Glutathione and vitamin C brighten the skin.
- Rejuvenation: Hyaluronic acid provides deep hydration and improves elasticity.
- Overall Skin Health: Peptides and vitamins target wrinkles, acne scars, and promote skin rejuvenation.
Procedure
The procedure begins with a consultation where the practitioner assesses the patient's skin condition and discusses goals. A customised cocktail of active ingredients is prepared based on the patient’s specific needs. The skin is then cleansed and numbed with a topical anaesthetic to minimise discomfort.
Using fine needles, the practitioner administers multiple microinjections into the middle layer of the skin (mesoderm). The depth of the injections and the type of ingredients used depend on the treatment area and desired outcomes. The entire procedure typically takes about 30-60 minutes.
Treatment Areas
- Face: For skin rejuvenation, hydration, and anti-aging, also to adress discolouration.
- Neck and Décolleté: To improve skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles.
- Scalp: To stimulate hair growth and reduce hair loss.
Downtime
- Minimal Downtime: Most patients experience minimal downtime and can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
- Possible Side Effects: Mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites, typically resolving within a few days.
Pre-Care
- Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from taking aspirin, ibuprofen, and other blood thinners at least a week before the procedure to reduce the risk of bruising.
- Avoid Alcohol: Avoid alcohol consumption for at least 24-48 hours before the procedure.
- Hydration: Stay well-hydrated in the days leading up to the treatment.
- Healthy Diet: Maintain a healthy diet to support overall skin health.
Post-Care
- Avoid Strenuous Activities: Avoid intense exercise, heavy lifting, and other strenuous activities for 24-48 hours post-treatment.
- Sun Protection: Protect treated areas from direct sunlight. Use sunscreen if necessary.
- Ice Packs: Apply ice packs to the treated areas to minimise swelling and discomfort.
- Avoid Touching: Refrain from touching or massaging the treated areas to avoid irritation.
- Follow-Up: Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor the results and address any concerns.
Results
- Immediate Effects: Some immediate improvement in skin hydration and texture may be visible, but full results develop over several sessions.
- Longevity: Results can last several months, with maintenance treatments recommended for prolonged effects.
Considerations
- Treatment Plan: Multiple sessions are typically needed for optimal results, often spaced a few weeks apart.
- Individual Variability: Results may vary based on individual skin characteristics and overall health.
