Mesotherapy

Few people know of the existence of mesotherapy. Although it was first devised around 1950, people only started to understand the benefits associated recently. In the beginning this technique was used to treat sports injuries, rheumatism and bad blood circulation. Nowadays we see mesotherapy used in treating cosmetic conditions. This includes hair regrowth, skin rejuvenation, fat reduction and cellulite treatments. Although mesotherapy is mostly done in France, we are happy to tell you that it is more popular daily and there are hundreds of qualified plastic surgeons that can do it.

Mesotherapy can be described as a series of injections. There is a special mixture of amino acids, vitamins and medications. They are put right under your skin, in the area where there are problems. Every single injection site will use one small quantity of the mixture. The idea used for mesotherapy is very simple. We are dealing with putting the active substances needed right where they are required through an injection. Doctors consider this technique to be more precise and it will mean less solution injected. When you go for regular intravenous injections or tablet treatments you will need higher concentrations. This is because part of the ingredients will be lost on the way to the site that requires treatment.

We have noticed that doctors usually use mesotherapy as skin rejuvenating aid. When doing so, the aim is to replace the vitamins, amino acids and minerals that are located in the lower levels of our skin. Alternatively, hyaluronic acid can be put in at higher levels than usual in order to maintain texture and firmness. You should know that as we age hyaluronic acid levels noticed in the skin will decrease. By injecting it into the dermal layer, collagen production is stimulated. This will reduce wrinkles and fine lines while also improving skin tone.

You will need to carefully talk with your doctor about mesotherapy. Talk about your aspirations and understand exactly what will happen. We have noticed that lack of information sometimes makes people feel disappointed with the results of this technique. Your medial history will influence the outcome and you do need to respect everything that the physician will tell you. Understand the risks involved and see whether the benefits are what you are looking for. The doctor might also take before photos and after photos at a point later in time. You should also know that one treatment session is rarely enough. Your doctor will let you know how many mesotherapy sessions you will need to go through.

Talking about mesotherapy procedures, you should know that multiple injections will be done with the use of a fine needle. The location is right under your skin. As an immediate result we need to mention that mesotherapy will replace vitamins that are lost, amino acids, minerals, will improve your circulation and boost hyaluronic acid levels. One treatment session will last 10 to 20 minutes and will not be painful in most cases. If the patient feels uncomfortable the doctor can use topical anaesthetic before the session starts. You will be able to get another injection after 2 or 3 weeks passed since your previous treatment meeting. The actual period is decided by your doctor. You will also need maintenance once ever 2 or 3 months. The good news is that the results obtained through mesotherapy are very good, especially when dealing with your skin tone and overall appearance. Only deal with good accredited doctors that have proven results with mesotherapy. Remember that we are dealing with a relatively new technique and not all plastic surgeons can perform it.
