Mesotherapy is a fairly gentle technique that has a cumulative effect, which is why one visit to cosmetology will not bring you much results. It is important to take into account the cosmetologist’s recommendations on how often facial mesotherapy can be done in order to achieve its maximum effect and avoid unwanted consequences.
A course of mesotherapy for the face – how long does the result last and how many injections are needed?
The best effect can be obtained only after several procedures. After one time, you won’t have to observe any drastic changes. During the initial consultation, the doctor determines how many sessions are needed. The approach is usually individual.
How is the mesotherapy procedure performed?
First you will need to consult, choose a course and medications. They are selected based on the condition of the skin and the patient’s specific problems. Hyaluronic acid is often used, which solves many issues - rejuvenates, moisturizes, promotes better production of collagen and elastin, smoothes wrinkles, gives freshness to the face and eliminates signs of aging:
- Then the doctor injects the drug under the skin and waits approximately 10 - 15 minutes. An allergy test allows you to identify a patient’s reactions to certain substances.
- If there is no redness of the skin, swelling or shortness of breath does not appear, then the patient does not have an allergic reaction and a day can be scheduled for the procedures.
- Mesotherapy uses thin needles that are deepened by 1 - 5 mm, depending on the task.
General information - how many sessions are needed to get results?
Depending on the patient’s age and the condition of his skin, it is necessary to select the number of sessions that can solve the problems:
- Depending on the patient’s age and the condition of his skin, it is necessary to select the number of sessions that can solve the problems.
- Most women experience visible facial lifting after just a few procedures. You can notice smoothness, smoothing of shallow wrinkles, partial elimination of pigmentation, and evenness of tone.
- But this is just a small effect. If the problems are not very serious, then several procedures are enough.
- But when there are deep wrinkles, pronounced creases, a large number of rashes and pigmentation, then more than 2 - 3 sessions will be needed.
The average number of procedures is 5 – 8, the interval is approximately 10 days. A pause is necessary for skin restoration.
To prolong the effect, experts recommend making corrections once or twice a month. It will be enough to carry out 1 procedure to keep your facial skin smooth and fresh. It is preferable to repeat the full course no more than once every six months or a year.
For rosacea
The main problem is weak capillary walls and lack of elasticity. Preparations with silicon and magnesium help to tidy up the capillaries, helping to strengthen, increase density and elasticity, and tone.
The recommended course of mesotherapy is 5 – 6 times.
For acne
It is important to take a comprehensive approach to this issue. Acne and rosacea can be eliminated if anti-inflammatory drugs are introduced into the skin layers, as well as sebum-regulating drugs that reduce sebum production day after day and reduce skin oiliness.
To improve the condition of the epidermis, at least 5–7 sessions are recommended.
For enlarged pores
If the skin has a high percentage of oily content, enlarged pores are visible, but there are no pustular inflammations, then 4–6 sessions of mesotherapy are guaranteed to put the face in order.
The following cocktail is introduced into the layers of the skin: vitamins, minerals and natural plant extracts are required.
For scars
Perhaps they decorate men, but for women it is often a huge problem and a serious reason for complexes. Most often these are the consequences of acne - small scars, small irregularities and pits.
The task is to even out the skin structure, uneven surface, and improve the complexion. For this purpose, organic acids (in combination) and microcirculation stimulants are used. The number of sessions can be quite long compared to other mesotherapy courses - from 6 to 8 sessions.
For aging skin
Mesotherapy is used by women who want to tighten their facial skin, smooth it, get rid of age wrinkles, improve color, and look younger:
- The recovery course is quite long. You will have to go to sessions at least 10 times to achieve a wonderful result.
- Anti-aging drugs are used. The complex necessarily includes synthesized hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin of animal origin, environmentally friendly. Various vitamins are also added to further nourish the layers of the skin.
- After completing the full course, the doctor determines whether to return once every 6 months or once a year to maintain facial skin in order.
Mesotherapy - at what age can it be done?
Category Anti-aging procedures.
Mesotherapy is one of the most effective procedures that can fight skin aging. The procedure consists of injecting medications into the skin using a short and thin needle. Mesotherapy can be used on the face, neck, décolleté, hands, that is, on the areas of the body most susceptible to age-related changes and most open to prying eyes. There is also body mesotherapy, to remove local fat accumulations, and scalp mesotherapy, used for hair loss, fragility and weakness.
Mesotherapy – from what age?
Doctors say that mesotherapy can be done from the age of twenty and even earlier. In this matter, there is a direct dependence on the patient’s skin type. First of all, you need an individual consultation with a specialist who will help you determine the goals of the procedure and select the composition of the cocktail to use. Such issues are discussed exclusively with a specialist and no one else can advise this technique or select a drug for mesotherapy. The composition of the cocktail is selected very carefully and depends on the condition of the patient’s skin, the severity of skin problems or age-related changes, possible contraindications and goals.
Why do young girls need mesotherapy?
For girls of the primary age group, whose age is 20-23 years, mesotherapy is mainly a preventive measure and aims to saturate the skin with amino acids, microelements and vitamins. Since childhood, we regularly take various dietary supplements and vitamins to maintain immunity and enhance recovery processes. And when performing mesotherapy at a young age, the same goals are pursued.
Naturally, first of all, this is prevention. It is worth carrying out this procedure to maintain skin tone and to prevent further possible age-related changes. Nowadays, under the influence of unfavorable environmental conditions and a lot of stress, not a single girl, even at a very young age, is immune from premature skin aging. Therefore, for prevention, mesotherapy can be used even from youth.
Mesotherapy can also be indicated for young girls suffering from acne or its consequences in the form of scars. If the patient’s goal is simply to refresh her complexion, then you can do without mesotherapy and use more gentle skin care methods.
Thus, this procedure has no age restrictions. Mesotherapy, no matter what age you do it, will in any case have the most beneficial effect on the skin. Despite all the achievements of modern cosmetology, not a single cream, lotion or serum can penetrate the skin and act only on its surface, while with mesotherapy, nutritional and medicinal cocktails enter directly into the dermis - the middle layer of the skin.
How often can injections be given to have an effect - interval
These questions interest most women. You should definitely consult a specialist. He will prescribe an individual course. To avoid complications after mesotherapy, you should follow the doctor’s recommendations and adhere to the rules.
Approximate schedule of procedures - how long after the first one can be repeated
The approximate plan is 5 – 7 procedures in a complex 1 – 2 times a year. But more detailed information can only be provided by a doctor, who must be aware of the health characteristics. Only he professionally assesses the seriousness of the problems and the number of sessions:
- The procedure is carried out once every 5 – 7 days. Then, after the full course, you still need to do maintenance procedures, first twice a month, then once every 30 days.
- Repeat the course every 6 months for those with pigmentation and early wrinkles. If there was a double chin, then a repeat course can be carried out in a year.
What not to do after the session
To avoid complications after mesotherapy, you should follow the doctor’s recommendations and adhere to the rules. The rapid restoration of facial skin after procedures depends on this:
- Stay in direct sunlight for a long time.
- For some period, stop going to the fitness center, gym and solarium.
- While the skin is recovering, you need to take very careful care of it. It is advisable not to start using new cosmetics, refrain from peeling, scrubbing and other active procedures.
- You should also pay attention to your diet: the food and drinks you consume. Caffeine, alcohol, salty, spicy and fatty foods are not recommended.
Fact #6: mesotherapy has minimal side effects
There is a myth that the effectiveness of the procedure depends on the time of day, but for women it will most likely depend on the cycle. Mesotherapy is best performed in the second half of the cycle - during this period there is less sensitivity and the risks of complications are much lower. If the situation is critical, then women no longer care about pain - they are ready to endure, just to achieve the effect faster.
Marks on the skin after light mesotherapy disappear within 20 minutes. But it all depends on the hand of the master - it happens that slight redness can remain with you for two hours. As for biorevitalization, papules remain on the face for one and a half or two days.
How quickly does the effect of the anti-aging procedure occur and how long does it last?
It is important to know what drugs were administered, the patient’s age and the condition of the facial skin. The “mesococtail” usually includes complexes of vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, homeopathic remedies, and biostimulants.
Small improvements can be noticed within a few hours. However, hematomas and bruises also appear, which disappear after a few days. A clear result is noticeable after 2 – 3 procedures. Next, you need to take a break of 10-14 days so that the skin is completely restored, swelling, bruises and hematomas go away.
The results are not fully visible at first, because initially the effect of the drugs is aimed at changes in the cells of the epidermis, healing and rejuvenation. It is difficult to see external improvements in the first days due to the presence of swelling and bruises.
How long does the effect last?
Depending on the problems eliminated with mesotherapy, the duration may vary. In any case, the result will be stable for 6 months:
- Injections in the lip area - from six months to a year.
- After treatment of any area of the face - approximately six months, the result rarely lasts up to a year.
Fact No. 3: there are several technologies for administering the drug
Manual therapy is the most common and involves introducing active substances under the skin using a syringe.
Mechanical – carried out using a mesoinjector, that is, using a special gun with needles, or using a mesoscooter (a roller with thin needles).
Using a non-injection technique, various types of procedures are carried out - fractional, oxygen, hydromesotherapy and nanomesotherapy.
Common negative manifestations after mesotherapy
They will definitely be, since this procedure is not only cosmetic, but also medical. This is a full-fledged “invasion” of the epidermis and, accordingly, there will be a reaction. What you will have to face during the recovery period:
- Swelling, redness and peeling of the skin. This is an absolutely normal reaction to the administration of drugs and the beginning of healing and corrective processes.
- Bruises and hematomas can be of several types - diffuse and in the form of small dots. This happens because the doctor performs the punctures blindly and cannot see the entire network of blood vessels.
- Gel displacement. This happens for several reasons. Sometimes too much of the drug is administered or the composition is not exactly what the patient requires. In addition, it is forbidden to touch or rub the places where punctures were made. It is not recommended to break the rule.
conclusions
- Mesotherapy is an effective procedure that helps not only rejuvenate the face in middle age, but also fight problems such as acne, acne, scars and scars, early aging, oily skin and enlarged pores.
- To achieve the desired result, you should talk with a dermatologist and determine how many sessions will be needed.
- You need to carefully select the composition of the drugs. If vitamins, amino acids, that is, complexes are included, then an allergic reaction is possible, up to anaphylactic shock. At the first consultation, you must tell the doctor about all the ailments and characteristics of the body. We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with mesotherapy with Dermaheal in this material.
Fact No. 2: mesotherapy can be performed on any part of the body
Mesotherapy can be done on any area of the skin, as it has a huge range of therapeutic effects - a specialist can carry out the procedure even from head to toe. Mesotherapy for the face helps to cope not only with aging and loss of skin tone, but also minimizes all age-related damage: wrinkles, ptosis, local fat deposits and dry skin.
Mesotherapy for hair improves blood circulation in the hair follicles, saturating the follicles with nutrients. This stimulates the growth of new hair and normalizes sebum secretion. As a result, the hair does not split and looks thick and healthy.
Body mesotherapy also effectively combats the signs of aging on the body, cellulite, and local fat deposits. But it all depends on the cocktail you choose.
