What the ingredients used in mesotherapy are for, where the micro-injection approach sits within skin care protocols and how session planning works.
Mesotherapy is a method in which small amounts of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and many other nourishing and supportive substances are mixed and delivered into the skin using a microinjection technique.
How Is It Applied?
The mixture can be delivered by microinjection, or through micro-channels created by dermaroller and dermapen devices.
Where Is It Used?
- Skin renewal, correcting wrinkles and lifting
- Under-eye shadows and puffiness
- Pigmentation treatments
- Cellulite and localised slimming
- Brightening skin tone
- Treating acne and acne scars
- Hair loss and helping grafts grow more strongly after a hair transplant
Used across this wide range of indications, mesotherapy is FDA approved.
What Is Used in Mesotherapy?
Mixtures are prepared from components such as hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and amino acids, chosen to suit the skin concern. The content of the mixture is not standard; it is determined by the problem being targeted.
Why Microinjection?
The aim is to deliver active ingredients directly into the middle layer of the skin. This approach keeps the substances in the target area and gives a different distribution compared with topical applications.
How Is the Session Plan Built?
The number of sessions and their spacing depend on the skin's needs, the goal and the protocol used. The definitive plan is created by the physician after examination.
Its Place in a Skincare Protocol
Mesotherapy is best assessed not on its own but as part of a person's overall skincare plan.
