Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is a skin treatment and beauty method falling under the category of injection-based procedures. It involves the injection of specialized substances with therapeutic properties beneath the skin, tailored to address specific concerns. These substances may include herbal extracts, vitamins, enzymes, drugs, and hormones, which are locally administered during mesotherapy.

The term "mesotherapy" is derived from the Latin words "meso" (meaning "middle") and "therapy" (meaning "treatment"). This treatment targets all three layers of the skin, exerting therapeutic effects on the epidermis, dermis, and underlying connective tissues. As a result, mesotherapy finds various applications and proves effective in treating conditions like hair loss, cellulite, and other concerns.

Mesotherapy offers compelling benefits, such as the micro-damaging effect of fine needles used in the procedure on the skin. The needle penetration induces minor damage, triggering the activation of skin repair processes. This activation stimulates the production and secretion of collagen, growth factors, interstitial proteins, and other substances by healthy skin cells. Additionally, new blood vessels form, and stem cells migrate to the damaged areas.

Other advantages of mesotherapy include:

• Effective drug delivery, hydration, and skin nourishment
• Cost-effectiveness compared to therapeutic effects
• Minimally invasive and non-surgical procedure
• Absence of anesthesia requirement and pain
• Short recovery period without the need for special aftercare
• Minimal side effects and negligible risk

The components commonly found in mesotherapy cocktails include various medicines, vasodilators to increase blood flow, local anesthetics with anti-inflammatory effects, hormonal drugs for hair mesotherapy, and nourishing substances like vitamins and minerals. These components contribute to improving blood supply, follicular nutrition, and overall skin and hair health.

For optimal results and proper care after mesotherapy, patients should adhere to general recommendations applicable to most skin and hair treatments. This includes washing the head before the visit, avoiding certain medications like aspirin and ibuprofen a few days before the session, refraining from using hair care products before and after treatment, and following specific guidelines for post-treatment care, such as avoiding exercise for two days, staying hydrated, and monitoring skin reactions for possible allergies to the mesotherapy solution. Patients are also advised to consult their doctor regarding the use of anticoagulants or blood thinners and to avoid anti-inflammatory drugs and vitamin E for 24 hours post-treatment.
