Mesotherapy of thighs and buttocks against cellulite and extra centimeters

Mechanism of action, types and methods of procedure

Mesotherapy is an injection-based cosmetic procedure that involves the subcutaneous administration of special cocktails. The drugs are injected into the dermis of the thighs, buttocks or legs, depending on the desired result. Punctures are carried out to a depth of one and a half to 4 mm.

The impact can be carried out using a mesoscooter. Healing compounds, entering the epidermis, restore and activate cell metabolism, as well as blood circulation. After just a few procedures, the skin is tightened, external defects disappear, and the hips become noticeably slimmer. You can also adjust your buttocks in the process.

In a salon setting, cosmetologists use 0.3 mm microneedles, with the help of which meso-cocktails with healing properties are injected under the skin.

The procedure can be carried out in two ways:

• with a syringe - manually;
• injector - hardware.

What problems does it solve?

Mesotherapy of the thighs is indicated for the following problems:

• sagging skin;
• stretch marks (striae);
• cellulite;
• excess weight.

Excess fat deposits are the root cause of many aesthetic problems associated with the skin on the thighs. Because of this, fluid stagnates in the tissues, which impairs blood circulation. Mesotherapy allows you to deliver the medicinal composition to all areas of the body that need correction. As a result:

• overall blood circulation improves;
• the elasticity of the dermis increases;
• the volume of fat deposits decreases;
• the relief will be improved;
• cellulite disappears;
• buttocks and thighs become more graceful and feminine.

Designation of the technique

Mesotherapy for weight loss is a therapeutic method of local administration of medicinal and biologically active agents into the middle layer of the skin and subcutaneous fat through multiple microinjections. The technique corrects local fat deposits, improves cellular regulation, stimulates the breakdown and removal of lipids, and increases skin elasticity.

Story

The discoverer of mesotherapy is Michel Pistor, a French doctor who in 1950 identified the relationship between intradermal injections near the affected area and the rapid recovery of the painful area after a course of manipulation.

The official registration of the technique occurred in 1987 in France. Since then, the procedure has been used in facial and body cosmetology.

Technique for performing hip mesotherapy in the salon

During the procedure, the cosmetologist uses microscopic needles. Most often, the drug is administered manually, but sometimes a specially designed injector gun can be used.

Mesotherapy of the thighs in a beauty salon is carried out in stages:

1. The skin is thoroughly cleaned with an antiseptic.
2. An anesthetic cream is applied for about 20-30 minutes. In some cases, this step is omitted if the mesococktail already contains an anesthetic component.
3. If the cream has been applied, then after the start of its action, the skin must be re-disinfected.
4. The therapeutic composition is drawn into the syringe and injections begin.

The preparations can be used to treat both the inner and outer surface of the thigh. You can speed up the process using an injector, which makes it possible to make several injections at the same time.

At the end of the procedure, be sure to treat the body with an antiseptic solution and apply an anti-inflammatory agent on top.

Typically, 6 to 12 procedures are required, depending on the initial situation and the desired effect. Weekly intervals must be observed between sessions.

To get the maximum effect from the procedure, you also need to monitor your diet and provide yourself with at least minimal physical activity.

The effectiveness of mesotherapy

The result of the procedure becomes noticeable after just a few sessions. Mesotherapy has many positive characteristics, the main ones are:

• the ability to prepare a meso-cocktail individually for each patient, based on his characteristics and desires;
• complex solution of aesthetic problems;
• affordability;
• short period of rehabilitation;
• the ability to choose the method of administering the drug under the skin - hardware or manual.
• affordable price;
• a small amount of time required for injections;
• the ability to carry out the procedure using several methods (manually and using a special device).

Contraindications and complications

Like many other cosmetic procedures, mesotherapy also has a number of contraindications that are important to pay attention to:

• inflammatory processes on the skin that are of viral, fungal or bacterial origin;
• fever, high body temperature;
• problems with blood clotting;
• pregnancy and breastfeeding period;
• allergy to component components or individual intolerance to any ingredients;
• epilepsy, fear of needles, mental disorders.

Any external interference in the natural processes occurring in the body not only has a positive effect, but can also provoke a number of negative reactions. Most often, this effect is invisible to the patient and does not cause him discomfort. But if the needle works over a large area on the body, quite unpleasant symptoms can occur. These include:

• swelling;
• soreness;
• itching;
• papules;
• bruises;
• redness;
• local inflammation;
• rashes.

In most cases, such manifestations do not require additional therapy if rehabilitation conditions are properly followed. Over time, they disappear without a trace. But if any of the factors bother you for a long time, you need to visit a specialist for advice.

Benefits of using mesotherapy for weight loss

• Naturalness - “cocktails” are not toxic to the body and are selected individually.
• Locality - useful substances are delivered to processing areas.
• Multifunctionality - meso-compositions solve a wide range of specific issues.
• There is no long recovery period, which makes it possible to follow an integrated approach.
• The achieved result is long lasting.

Flaws

• Discomfort in the form of painful sensations.
• Lack of the desired effect with an incorrect combined approach.
• Course sessions are required to prolong the results.
• Allergic reactions are possible due to the composition of the drugs.

Home care products

If for some reason a woman cannot visit a cosmetologist’s office, it is possible to carry out mesotherapy at home. To do this, you will need to purchase a special mesoscooter - a roller with microneedles on the surface. You can buy the device at almost any pharmacy or order it through an online store. The needles are very thin, they help to make micro-punctures in the skin and thereby launch regenerative processes, as well as collagen synthesis.

In order for the effect to be as positive as possible, you need to choose the right mesomedicine, which will be injected under the skin using a mesoscooter. It is best to contact a professional cosmetologist. A good doctor will be able to create a prescription based on individual skin characteristics.

It is strongly recommended not to experiment with the preparation of meso-cocktails for treating the dermis in the absence of appropriate professional training. This is fraught with negative consequences for the skin and the body as a whole.

Many women decide to buy ready-made mesocomposition. The most popular are:

Before the procedure, it is necessary to treat the mesoscooter with an antiseptic. For example, dip it in chlorhexidine and leave it there for several minutes. You should also thoroughly disinfect the skin to avoid infection.

What types of hair removal are there - the answer from the specialists of the Beauty Med Clinic

Every woman wants to be beautiful.
One of the main components of female beauty is smooth skin. But some people have it smooth by nature, while others have to fight and defend the coveted smoothness. And, of course, one of the main objects of such a struggle is unwanted hair. And the main means of combating unwanted hair is hair removal. So – what is hair removal? The term itself comes from the French word epiler, which translated into Russian means “to get rid of hair.” There are several definitions of hair removal that are quite similar in meaning. This article will discuss the main types of hair removal offered in hair removal centers and salons.

Reviews from real people

Kira, 33 years old, Orel:

I am a cosmetologist by training, and I regularly perform mesotherapy at home. I also prepare a lipolytic cocktail myself, since I have a lot of experience. I really like the result. A friend is going to take a course in the spring to prepare her body for summer, for short shorts.

Inna, 29 years old, Omsk:

I recently purchased a mesoscooter and started using it actively. I buy the drug at a regular pharmacy. It turns out quite cheap, but very effective. I'm very pleased with the result. My thighs have noticeably tightened and my cellulite has gone away.

Svetlana, 25 years old, Ufa:

I had mesotherapy done by a cosmetologist. Of course there is an effect, but it was very painful. Especially the first procedure. But for the sake of toned and elastic legs, you can endure the pain and turn a blind eye to the cost of the procedure.

How does the session work?

To get results, you need to properly prepare for the procedure and take care of your skin after it.

Failure to follow the basic rules can lead to a reduction in the effectiveness and duration of the result.

Preparation

To ensure that therapy does not cause harm, you need to check for contraindications. Three days before the injections, stop taking analgesics (eg aspirin). They thin the blood, which is why microtraumas do not heal for a long time. At the same time, drinking alcohol is not recommended, as they can neutralize the effect of hyaluronic acid. A day or two before the appointment, the composition of the meso-cocktails and the duration of the course are discussed with the cosmetologist. If necessary, allergy testing is carried out.

Nutritionist opinion

Women have always put beauty as a priority. But in pursuit of attractiveness, it is important not to forget about health. To get rid of excess fat deposits and cellulite, you need to accustom yourself to proper nutrition, as well as regularly devote time to physical activity. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to torture yourself every day in the gym and eat only carrots. For many, morning exercises, evening walks and a large amount of fresh vegetables in the diet will be enough.

It is also recommended to use methods of external influence on the skin - masks, wraps and scrubs, which are good for fighting cellulite. Such a set of measures taken will save the budget and will be no less effective than painful mesotherapy procedures.

If the choice falls on a cosmetic procedure, then you need to carefully follow the recommendations of a specialist. The master must be verified, and the clinic must be certified.

Indications

Mesotherapy for weight loss affects fat deposits in hard-to-reach places, so zonal points of application are distinguished:

• local fat deposits (“protrusions”) on the anterior abdominal wall;
• excess amount of lipid tissue on the arms (shoulders, forearms);
• excessive volume of fat in the waist and hips (“breeches” area);
• a large amount of adipose tissue (“rollers”) on the buttocks, in the area of ​​​​the knees and legs;
• thickened layer of subcutaneous fat in the back area.

The procedure normalizes intra- and extracellular processes, which determines the general mechanisms of administration:

• cellulite correction;
• fat “traps” in the legs, arms, abdomen, thighs;
• the presence of “jowls” and a “double” chin;
• fat “packets” in the area of ​​the nasolabial folds and eyelids;
• restoration of figure after childbirth or sudden weight loss;
• rehabilitation after plastic surgery (liposuction).

Answers on questions

How long does the effect of mesotherapy on legs and buttocks last?

The result after a mesotherapy procedure can last for about six months or even longer. The period depends on the patient’s lifestyle, his diet and the presence of sports.

How often do you need to repeat a course of mesotherapy?

As needed. To maintain the effect, many people need to take the course once every 6-9 months.

Will the procedure help against old stretch marks on the skin?

Yes. To do this, you should contact a cosmetologist who will be able to select the components and create the desired meso-cocktail that will allow you to achieve the maximum possible effect.

Restrictions

Contraindications for the procedure are as follows:

• pregnancy, lactation;
• skin diseases at injection sites;
• diseases of the blood, nervous system;
• infectious diseases;
• oncology;
• diabetes;
• cholelithiasis;
• the need for treatment with tetracycline, antibiotics;
• intolerance to the components of the drug.

Injection therapy is not recommended during menstruation. It does not affect the result, but during this period sensitivity increases and the properties of the blood change. There is a risk of hematomas and edema.

Photoepilation - painless, fast and safe hair removal

Photoepilation involves the use of intense pulsed light to remove hair. In this case, the diode emits waves of several wavelengths, they are scattered inside the skin and give the desired effect. In this case, the pigment contained in the shaft and bulb of the hair reacts. Existing hairs fall out, and new ones do not grow for quite a long time - from several months to several years.

Photoepilation is not suitable for everyone , only for those with fair skin (types 1-3) with dark or medium hair. Photoepilation is especially convenient for clients with thick hair , because the technology allows you to work with a larger area than with electro- or laser hair removal. Another advantage is the elimination of the possibility of infection, since the procedure is non-invasive.

Advantages

1. Safe method 2. Large surfaces are treated 3. Non-contact (without direct intervention into the human skin) 4. Virtually no ingrown hairs and redness of the skin 5. Comfort 6. The method is applicable after puberty

Flaws

1. Restrictions on skin color 2. Does not apply to gray, blond, and vellus hair 3. Hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation of the skin 4. Oncological diseases 5. Does not guarantee permanent hair removal 6. Less effective than electrolysis 7. Not recommended for pregnant women 8. The method is less painful and does not require post-epilation treatment. 9. Not a low price.

Electrolysis - hair removal forever

Electrolysis is the most time-tested and studied method of hair removal. Electrolysis is the process of removing stem hair using various types of currents. The result of the procedure is complete removal of unwanted hair . The professional hair removal center "Beauty Med Clinic" has been working in this field for more than 20 years. Since 1999, we've been helping our clients get the smooth, clear skin they've always wanted. Quality and safety! Our specialists have specialized education and extensive experience, and for the procedure we use exclusively disposable gold-plated needles.

Electrolysis is FDA approved as a method that removes 100% of all hair. The process can be compared to killing weeds. If you only cut or break off the stem, the weed will grow again and again from the remaining root. Photoepilation, figuratively speaking, is uprooting weeds: the root is destroyed - the stem no longer grows.

But this only works if hair removal is performed by a competent specialist who can not only set up the technique, but also perform all manipulations in such a way as to achieve maximum effect without causing any harm .

Important! Contact only experienced hair removal specialists to avoid negative consequences - burns, ingrown hairs, lack of effect, and so on.

Well, thirdly , these are, of course, recommendations for post-epilation care - not all “offices” and hair removal salons are, in principle, ready to spend time on this.

Fourthly , we can add that not every hair removal salon or “office” draws up an agreement for the provision of medical services. As a result, they do not bear any responsibility for possible problems caused by failure to comply with contraindications and conditions necessary for the painless and comfortable implementation of this type of hair removal. So be careful, because in Moscow alone electrolysis is offered in almost every hair removal center!

Advantages

1. Guaranteed hair removal forever. Hair will never grow back from a destroyed follicle. 3. The method is applicable to any type of skin and hair 4. There are practically no ingrown hairs 5. Can be used after puberty

Flaws

1. Not used for cancer 2. For neuropsychiatric diseases 3. Dermatological inflammation 4. Cardiovascular diseases (after heart attacks, strokes) 5. Diabetes mellitus 6. Not recommended for pregnant women

average cost

Mesotherapy is not a cheap “pleasure”. The average cost of one session in Russia varies between 1.5-2.5 thousand rubles. In Moscow, the price of the procedure can reach 15,000-17,000.

The load on the patient’s wallet is formed from several factors:

• cost of components for meso cocktails;
• processing area;
• degree of development of lipodystrophy.

Since it is pointless to undergo one procedure, a full course of injections to combat cellulite will cost on average from 10,000 to 40,000 rubles. You can make the process somewhat cheaper by performing the manipulations yourself, rather than in a professional salon.

Composition of meso cocktails

Special cocktails include substances that help eliminate the causes of cellulite formation.

Among them:

• vitamins – to strengthen local immunity and tissue nutrition;
• enzymes;
• L-carnitine, which accelerates the burning and removal of fat cells from the body;
• hyaluronic acid, necessary to increase the elasticity of the epidermis and normalize water balance;
• calcitonin;
• lipolytics (such as caffeine, sodium deoxycholate, phosphatidylcholine), which stimulate the breakdown of the subcutaneous fat layer;
• antioxidants (for example, ascorbic acid or Ginkgo Biloba extract). They stimulate blood circulation, lymphatic drainage, free the skin from waste and toxins, restore the permeability of the smallest vessels;
• microelements;
• organic silicon - has the ability to retain moisture in cells and activates their regeneration;
• collagen, which tightens the fibers and restores their elasticity;
• lidocaine - to reduce pain;
• plant extracts (artichoke, cumin seeds and others) - act as lymphatic drainage, relieve swelling, accelerate metabolism.
