What is Mesotherapy:

Mesotherapy is a non-invasive and non-surgical therapeutic method used for skin rejuvenation and vitality. The term “meso” comes from the Greek word meaning “middle,” and “therapeia” means medical treatment. In mesotherapy, microinjections are used to deliver various substances to the skin, including vitamins, amino acids, growth factors, minerals, enzymes, hormones, and plant extracts.

During mesotherapy, thin needles are inserted into the skin at a medium depth (between the epidermis and dermis), causing minor micro-injuries. These injuries stimulate healing processes that not only lead to the production and secretion of collagen, elastin, and proteins but also promote the formation of blood vessels at the injection site. These events, by stimulating the skin’s metabolism, improve the condition, radiance, and freshness of the skin.

Benefits of mesotherapy include:

Hydration and nourishment: Mesotherapy solutions containing hyaluronic acid help moisturize the skin, relieve dryness, and enhance its radiance and freshness by attracting water.

Treatment of dark spots (melasma): Dark brown spots on the skin caused by the accumulation of melanin pigments can be controlled and improved with nourishing mesotherapy solutions. Additionally, sun-induced spots can also be addressed using this method.

Scar reduction: Mesotherapy solutions can be used to improve wound healing and reduce the appearance of acne scars. This is especially effective for depressed acne scars. The presence of hyaluronic acid in the mesotherapy cocktail adds volume to the skin, while antioxidants, amino acids, and vitamins stimulate and promote the healing and repair of scars and acne.

Types of Mesotherapy:

Facial Mesotherapy: This procedure aims to hydrate the skin, reduce dark circles and puffiness around the eyes, address sagging skin, and treat skin discoloration.

Hair Mesotherapy: Nutrient cocktails are directly injected into the scalp. The microinjections in hair mesotherapy impact the epidermis and improve blood circulation in the scalp. The presence of various amino acids, vitamins, and minerals in the mesotherapy solution strengthens the hair follicles and roots, helping reduce hair loss.

Slimming and Cellulite Mesotherapy: This technique is used for weight loss and eliminating excess fat, especially in areas such as the abdomen, hips, and thighs. This slimming method is considered an alternative to liposuction. A solution containing various substances such as enzymes (lipase), chemical and herbal ingredients, along with the active ingredient phosphatidylcholine (an antioxidant extracted from soy lecithin), is injected beneath the skin. This process breaks down fat cells into small particles in the injected area. The broken-down fat is then separated and eliminated from the body as waste. This method is also used to address double chin and neck fat.

Who should not consider Mesotherapy?

  • Pregnant and breastfeeding women.
  • Patients with cardiovascular diseases.
  • Individuals with immune system disorders.
  • People with a history of allergies or sensitivities to specific drugs or substances.
  • Diabetic individuals with uncontrolled diabetes.
  • Individuals using anticoagulant medications (as they have a higher risk of hematoma and bleeding).
  • Individuals with severe and advanced psoriasis.

Precautions to consider before Mesotherapy:

Avoid using aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for one week before undergoing any type of Mesotherapy, as these medications can increase the risk of bleeding during the procedure.

Post-treatment considerations:

  • Avoid washing your face and taking a shower for 24 hours after facial Mesotherapy.
  • Use sunscreen and avoid direct sunlight exposure.
  • Drink fluids, especially water, for 24 hours after the injection.
  • Avoid using aspirin and vitamin E supplements for 24 hours after Mesotherapy.

Number of treatment sessions:

The number of Mesotherapy sessions is determined by the treating physician based on the individual’s skin condition and treatment goals. Depending on the therapeutic needs and the skin’s response, the physician determines the number and intervals of the sessions. In general, a minimum of four sessions with intervals of 7 to 10 days is necessary to achieve satisfactory results.
