Pimples (acne), blackheads and blackheads ruin your life, but you can’t eliminate the formations with the help of cosmetics and pharmaceutical tablets? It's time to turn to professionals. Many experts argue that the optimal way to combat inflammation on the skin is the injection of medications, because this provides the most accurate and complete effect on the problem. Does mesotherapy really help with acne? We will try not only to find the answer to this question , but also to determine how exactly the treatment is carried out.
What is mesotherapy for acne
The principle of this procedure is that the patient receives small injections of a special substance under the skin, which prevents the appearance of new pimples and acne and significantly reduces existing ones.
Mesotherapy is used to treat acne. Special cocktails with zinc, sulfur, and potassium are injected under the skin, which fight existing acne and prevent the development of new ones.
The method is aimed at strengthening the immune properties of the skin.
In the case of acne treatment, injections are one of the components of therapy, along with other skincare procedures and oral medications.
The procedure is very effective, since the active substance immediately gets under the dermis and begins to act specifically on the problem area of the skin. The substance causes active regeneration of inflamed and damaged skin cells.
The composition of the mesotherapy cocktail directly depends on the stage of acne.
For active inflammation, you should choose drugs containing salicylic acid and cloxacillin. If you need to remove post-acne and scars, then it is better to choose meso-cocktails with ascorbic acid and magnesium pidolates.

Indications for mesotherapy against acne
Since different compositions can be used for mesotherapy, it is suitable for solving a large number of problems with sensitive skin.
If we talk about mesotherapy for problem skin, the following indications are prescribed:
- Acne;
- Acne;
- Post-acne;
- Scars and acne scars;
- Enlarged pores.
In addition, after acne crusts disappear, the skin often becomes dull, less elastic and firm. Mesotherapy also helps correct such problems, as it creates a powerful lifting effect on the facial skin, visually making it younger.
Composition of meso-cocktails for acne
The composition that is injected under the client’s skin during the procedure is called a cocktail, since not one specific substance is added to it, but a whole set of them, which provides a comprehensive effect on the entire problem area of the face.
Such active microelements are magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium and many others. Various acids are used as auxiliary elements, the most common of which is hyaluronic acid.
In addition, meso-cocktail is not used in ready-made form in all cases. Often the doctor himself selects the composition of such a cocktail, that is, he carries out an individual approach to the patient depending on his problems and the degree of skin inflammation.
The point is that not only the injection mixture itself has a positive effect on the skin. The microneedle injections themselves are also capable of reviving it and stimulating it for further regeneration.
Price for acne removal service
The price for removing post-acne with a laser depends on whether these are pinpoint elements or whether there are many scars and they cover the entire face. One laser flash costs up to 300 rubles. Sanding 1 cm costs 900 rubles. If you remove scars all over your face, the cost will be 25,000 rubles. The cosmetologist will make a calculation on the most favorable terms for you.

Features of treatment
The most important feature of facial mesotherapy for acne and pimples is that it is not the vitamin cocktail itself that heals and rejuvenates the skin. The substances that make up it simply force the body to independently fight the problem that has arisen, using its resources for this.
Self-medication is dangerous with complications!

Causes of acne
Acne is a skin disease that manifests itself in the form of increased oiliness of the skin, the appearance of large painful pustular rashes, small rashes and blackheads. Teenagers are most susceptible to acne, as during puberty the body experiences increased hormonal activity, which provokes the appearance of skin rashes. In middle-aged people, the problem occurs equally often among both men and women.
Experts identify the following causes of pathology:
- Hereditary factor
- Hormonal imbalance
- Inflammatory processes in the body
- Disruption of the endocrine system
- Frequent stress, nervous tension
- Allergic reactions
- Increased sebum production
- Gynecological diseases, gastrointestinal diseases
- Taking hormonal medications, oral contraceptives
- Poor quality or incorrectly selected cosmetics for your skin type
- Wearing tight and uncomfortable synthetic clothing
- Failure to comply with hygiene rules, insufficient skin care
The pathology mainly affects areas of the skin where a large number of sebaceous glands are concentrated, namely: the face, décolleté, and back. Less commonly, acne can be found on the arms and buttocks. The disease rarely goes away without a trace - even after the pimple has completely disappeared, dark spots (post-acne) or small scars remain on the skin.
Detailed procedure
The procedure is carried out in several stages.
Elementary
Before deciding on the procedure, you need to go to an appointment with a dermatologist and cosmetologist, find out what is the cause of the rashes on the face, and whether this problem can be somehow solved without resorting to mesotherapy.
Preparatory
If the doctor and his patient decide that acne mesotherapy is the only way to help the patient, then it’s time to take decisive action, namely, select a ready-made cocktail for the procedure, or create a completely new mixture individually for the patient.
The procedure itself
First, the cosmetologist disinfects and covers the patient’s face with cooling gel. Most often, the doctor gives injections manually, which ensures a clearer hit in the problem area.
Rehabilitation
After the procedure is over, the client must sit in a chair for about 15 minutes, the doctor makes sure that everything is fine with him and sends him home.
Course duration
One injection of mesocotail will not make your skin completely healthy. The procedure must be repeated several times. The number of such repetitions is determined individually and depends on the condition of the client’s skin, the causes of acne, age, and the goals that he sets for himself.
It should be said that the positive effect of the procedure is only achievable when injections are carried out regularly. This is a mandatory condition, since this is a cumulative procedure. In order for the effect to constantly please a person, you need to visit a specialist more often than usual.
Attention! Hyaluronic acid decomposes naturally after 1-2 months. In order for the face to be in relative order, the procedure must be repeated at least once every six months.
Step by step process
Individual skin condition, the number of acne, the age of the patient - these factors are taken into account in order to determine how long mesotherapy will last. Acne treatment is cumulative, so the full effect is noticeable after the end of the therapeutic course.
During the session, local anesthesia is used to reduce pain. The process is divided into several stages:
- Decorative cosmetics are removed;
- The skin is treated with a special antiseptic;
- After this, an anesthetic is applied to reduce sensitivity;
- The cosmetologist first administers injections along a special line;
- Next, the drug is injected into the acne elements;
- The final stage of injections is injecting the areas around the rash;
- After all the injections have been administered, a soothing mask is applied to the face.
For acne, the procedure is often performed manually. It is also possible to use non-injection mesotherapy, when the composition penetrates the layers of the skin under the influence of oxygen or laser radiation.
Skin care after the procedure
The result of the procedure directly depends on how competently and carefully the aftercare is carried out.
