Composition of drugs
Eye mesotherapy uses drugs that include:
- hyaluronic acid;
- glycolic acid;
- vitamins;
- minerals;
- plant extracts;
- collagen;
- amino acids;
- peptides.
When choosing components for a meso-cocktail, the cosmetologist focuses on the characteristics of the patient’s skin and the general state of her health. For dark circles, it is advisable to use vitamins with minerals, and for loss of skin elasticity and small expression lines - hyaluronic acid.
Peptide cocktails have proven themselves to be effective in reducing swelling and stimulating metabolic processes in dermal cells. The active substances in such a solution are proteins. They improve blood circulation and lymph outflow, remove excess fluid and accelerate skin renewal. Peptides with a botulinum-like effect reduce the activity and tone of muscle fibers, due to which the skin adjacent to them is smoothed. This meso-cocktail eliminates fine wrinkles in the corners of the eyes.

The procedure is prescribed if the patient has the following symptoms:
- loose skin of the upper eyelid;
- severe bruises under the eyes in the morning;
- small wrinkles in the corners of the eyes;
- darker skin of the lower eyelids;
- swelling and swelling in the eye area;

As a preventative measure, mesotherapy is indicated for hormonal disorders that provoke premature aging. In this case, the technique should be resorted to at the age of 25-26 years. In addition, mesotherapy is combined with other minimally invasive procedures, contour plastic surgery, biorevitalization, and plasma lifting.
What are they needed for?
Is it possible to remove bags, bruises, and wrinkles with fillers? With the help of fillers, you can correct many problems that were previously solved only by surgery, for example:
- even out skin color;
- skin correction against wrinkles for the area around the eyes;
- remove dark circles under the eyes;
- changing the shape of the nose (read about nose correction with fillers here);
- correction of the shape and size of the lips (you can learn about the use of lip fillers here);
- correction of facial asymmetry (read about facial correction using fillers here);
- correction of paint bags;
- adding volume to the cheekbones, etc. (you can learn about the use of cheekbone fillers here)
Administration occurs under the influence of a external anesthetic
. Pros:
- the patient does not feel discomfort;
- full recovery after the procedure takes 7-10 days;
- the results of contouring can be corrected or removed using special preparations;
- visible effect immediately after administration of the drug;
- maintaining facial expressions.
Minuses:
- the possibility of an allergic reaction;
- bruises, discomfort in the area where the drug was administered;
- swelling and redness;
- asymmetric result;
- the possibility of damage to the vessel during puncture;
- the possibility of inflammation in case of infection.
Do not confuse Botox with fillers; these are completely different drugs.
Types of eye mesotherapy
Depending on the method of action on the skin, there are 2 types of mesotherapy:
- classical;
- non-injection.
The classic technique involves subcutaneous administration of the drug. Fractional mesotherapy of the skin around the eyes is also considered a type of treatment. During the procedure, the doctor uses a nozzle with 12 microneedles of different lengths.
The essence of the non-injection method is to apply electric current to problem areas. A cosmetologist applies meso-cocktails to the skin in the eye area. Under the influence of electric current, the active substances of the drug enter the upper layers of the skin to a depth of 1-2 mm.
For the best effect, it is recommended to take a rejuvenating course consisting of 4-6 procedures. Mesotherapy gives a long-term effect, slows down the aging process and prolongs the youth of the skin for at least 6 months.
Possible consequences
Side effects that may occur after injection mesotherapy sessions include:
- redness of the skin around the eyes - due to the effects of the cocktail and the resulting microtraumas and usually goes away after a few hours;
- small hematomas - are the result of a needle entering a vessel and disappear after a few days;
- swelling that occurs due to injury to the skin and goes away within a day. If this does not happen, then swelling may be a manifestation of an undesirable reaction to one of the components of the mixture.
The non-injection method may cause slight redness and swelling, which quickly disappears. These manifestations are the body’s reaction to the effects of drugs and current.
How does the procedure work?
Preparation. Before mesotherapy, the cosmetologist cleanses the patient’s skin of cosmetics and other impurities using an antiseptic. He then numbs the skin around the eyes with a local anesthetic.
Carrying out the procedure. The doctor precisely injects a rejuvenating solution into problem areas in the direction of wrinkles, using a syringe with a thin needle or a special device. The depth of insertion of the needle depends on the depth of the defects. With non-injection mesotherapy, drugs are injected into the area of wrinkles or eyelids, after which a laser device or ultrasound is used.
At the final stage, the skin is again treated with an antiseptic, then a moisturizer or mask is applied.
After the end of the session, the cosmetologist gives recommendations regarding the recovery period.
Information about the manufacturer and seller
- The development and sale of Mesoai gel is carried out by the American company ABG LAB LLC, which specializes in the creation of injectable and external cosmetics based on synthetic peptides. In our country, it is well known for such sensational products as Meso-Wharton P199, Meso-Xanthin F199 and MesoSculpt C71.
- The drug is produced in South Korea, at the plant of BNC Korea, Inc. – it produces several lines of fillers based on hyaluronic acid, mainly for the domestic market and is little known outside its country. On the territory of the Russian Federation, the interests of ABG LAB are represented by the company PremierPharm (“Premier Pharm”). It has exclusive rights to sell all the products of its American partner, and also conducts training seminars on them for cosmetologists.
- In 2021, Mesoeye C71 was registered by Roszdravnadzor as a “gel-implant for intradermal administration” (registration No. RZN 2016/4773), which fully complies with the current requirements for the legal registration of fillers and other products for injection cosmetology.
- In the foreign segment of the Internet, there are practically no significant mentions of this and other drugs produced by ABG LAB - thus, we can conclude that the company is focused exclusively on the Russian market. This in itself is neither good nor bad, but for obvious reasons this nuance is not further advertised anywhere.
Post-procedure care
During the rehabilitation period, you should not overheat or overcool the skin and avoid exposure to ultraviolet rays. Before going outside, you must apply a moisturizer with SPF 30 to the areas undergoing the procedure. The following recommendations are also required:
- In the first 24 hours, wash only with slightly warm water.
- Do not use cosmetics within 48 hours after a mesotherapy session.
- Avoid rubbing your eyes and the skin around them, even if you experience itching and tingling.
- Refuse to visit the bathhouse, sauna, or swimming pool for 7 days.
- Use sunglasses.
How to use bodyagu
The swelling from a sharp blow to the eye will go away if you try bodyaga. The product is quite effective. Bodyaga increases blood circulation - it is this property of the product that causes such a resolving effect. You can buy bodyagi gel at any pharmacy. You can simply spread it on and then remove it just as easily.
Please note that the skin will sting a little after application. That's why you shouldn't keep it longer than a quarter of an hour. It is better to do procedures more often, but for a shorter period of time, than vice versa
It is better to do procedures more often, but for a shorter period of time, than vice versa.
As a rule, the use of bodyagi gel allows you to reduce puffiness and blueness under the eyes from the second day of use.
Effect of the procedure
Most often, eye mesotherapy is carried out in order to strengthen the facial muscles, increase skin tone and activate the process of cell regeneration. In such cases, the procedure helps:
- elimination of edema;
- smoothing out wrinkles;
- production of elastin and collagen;
- increasing skin firmness and elasticity;
- getting rid of dark circles under the eyes.
After administration of the drug, blood flow in the epidermal tissues increases and metabolic processes accelerate, and the synthesis of hyaluronic acid occurs faster. As a result, darkening and irritation in the eye area disappear, the skin becomes fresher, more hydrated and acquires a natural color.
Mesotherapy around the eyes will bring the desired effect only if the defects appear due to overwork, lack of sleep, stress, age-related changes, vitamin deficiency, or oxygen deficiency in the tissues. If the defects develop against the background of pathologies of internal organs, then the procedure will be useless. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct a complete diagnosis of the body to determine the causes of deterioration of the eye skin.
Mesotherapy for dark circles and wrinkles – 50 years in cosmetology
Mesotherapy injections became popular several decades ago. The main task of injections is directly related to the tightening and healing effect: correction occurs not only quickly, but also with obvious benefits for the internal condition of the skin. Now this is not just fashion, it is a manifestation of the completely natural desire of every woman to glow with natural beauty and charm. The popularity of the procedure has a very specific explanation and, in addition to its anti-aging and corrective effect, it is safe and accessible. Mesotherapy injections against circles under the eyes began to be done in many aesthetic medicine clinics and by cosmetologists at home. True, the question always arises about the reliability of such manipulations at home or without the participation of a qualified specialist. The delicate and sensitive area around the eyes needs special care and professional treatments. But back in the middle of the 20th century, mesotherapy was considered only a pain-relieving manipulation, which was used by the French physician Michel Pistor.
It is worth taking a closer look at what compounds are used in mesotherapy for dark circles under the eyes and wrinkles. In fact, almost all compositions are essentially very similar. The basis is hyaluronic acid, which, when ingested, stimulates the amazing activity of collagen. Mesococktails include a lot of useful biological substances that stimulate metabolism. For example, their composition (along with hyaluronate) almost always includes in different proportions:
- amino acids;
- minerals;
- vitamins;
- glycolic acid.

Since the skin around our eyes is very sensitive and thin, it is important to choose the right composition and perform manipulations very carefully so as not to further injure the epidermis. For injections in this part of the face, we use special gentle meso-cocktails, characterized by a gentle and delicate effect.
There are the following groups of compounds:
- Preparations with peptides: are most actively used to reduce swelling and dark circles under the eyes. The active components in this composition are proteins. They improve the outflow of lymph, accelerate the blood, remove excess fluid, and effectively launch the metabolic mechanism in cells.
- Preparations with hyaluronate: effectively smooth the skin, nourish it, deeply moisturize it, and have a beneficial effect on elasticity. Useful substances in this combination can be used even for basic wrinkle prevention, saving you from minor visual troubles of premature aging.
Both drugs have a pleasant rejuvenating effect and correct skin defects. The main difference between these two types of compositions is their fundamental purpose: for deep wrinkles and pronounced, unpleasant circles under the eyes, a peptide composition is more suitable. A product with hyaluronic acid will do a great job with small crow's feet. But no matter what mesotherapy you choose for the eyes, before and after you will feel like a different person!
What is important to remember in this case: regardless of your desire, the main recommendation on which product to use should come from a cosmetologist. But your aspirations to become more charming play an equally important role. Therefore, you need to have an open dialogue with a specialist so that you understand each other correctly.
The base of the vitamin-mineral “duet”, together with hyaluronic acid, delicately activates the smoothing mechanism of the dermis. Instead of being disrupted by injections, the skin absorbs all the beneficial components like a sponge, removing the unpleasant blue under the eyes and puffiness, which create the sad impression of extreme fatigue and lack of sleep. Of course, we should not forget about the personal nuances of the epidermis and the level of activity of the body towards regeneration.
Using a thin needle, they reach exactly the right place under the skin, guaranteeing a long-lasting mechanism for maintaining properties. The epidermis is quickly renewed, moisturized, wrinkles smooth out and disappear, and youth returns. True, this effect lasts only as long as the main active ingredient (hyaluronic acid or peptides) is still present in the body. Some time after the injections, they begin to be excreted; this is a natural process. It is the composition of the miraculous cocktail with vitamins and hyaluronate that primarily affects the duration of the result. In second place is the number of injections given per session.
But patients who crave youth and beauty are not stopped by the fact that the effect of the composition ends after some time, since the result is completely justified and nothing prevents you from doing a second series of injections after some time. The area of mesotherapy for the skin around the eyes is definitely the leader in the reviews: “subcutaneous injections get rid of swelling and the hated crow’s feet”, “I look 20 years younger”, “my skin glows from the inside”, “why didn’t I do this before”. The opinions of admiring women and men pour in as if from a cornucopia. Many people notice that the spectrum of action of these injections is very wide. What do those who have already tried mesotherapy focus on:
- amazing rejuvenation effect;
- swelling disappears (this is especially noticeable in the morning, the skin after sleep glows like after a magic serum);
- dark circles under the eyes disappear or become much less pronounced;
- wrinkles around the eyes disappear (the same “crow’s feet” and the result will last for several months);
- the upper eyelid is tightened;
- the oval and contours of the face become clearer and more pronounced, aligned along their natural line (even if you chose only mesotherapy injections for bruises under the eyes);
- the general condition of the skin improves noticeably, its elasticity becomes noticeable even to the touch.
Additionally, let us remind you that the process of collagen and elastin production begins to actively manifest itself under the skin. This cannot be felt on a physical level, but it will be perfectly noticeable in the changed appearance.
Agree, a very attractive list of effects for mesotherapy around the eyes. Before and after photos, which are taken in all clinics, visually prove the result of a wonderful transformation. But is everyone ready for injections for this? There are plenty of people around us who faint at the mere sight of a needle. For them, cosmetology, which never stops developing, has come up with methods without injections. We will talk about this in the next part of our article.
Contraindications and side effects
Eye mesotherapy is not performed on women during pregnancy and lactation, or on patients under 18 years of age. Contraindications also include:
- presence of cancer;
- diabetes;
- infectious diseases;
- bleeding disorders;
- individual intolerance to the components of the active drug;
- previous kidney pathologies;
- disturbances in the functioning of the cardiovascular system.
The procedure allows you to achieve the desired result only if the doctor takes into account all possible complications and approaches the matter responsibly. Some side effects cannot be avoided, however, they disappear within 3-4 days. After the procedure, irritation around the eye skin, small wounds and swelling may occur.
Causes of dark circles
The structure of the area around the eyes is characterized by the close location of blood vessels and soft tissues to the skin.
The color that we see in the lower eyelid area is the “lumen” of blood vessels and tissues through our skin. In most cases, the color of the skin itself has absolutely nothing to do with it!
If in youth, with a healthy, unslag-free body, there is a small layer of fat between the skin and tissues in the eye area, then over the years it becomes thinner and modified, thereby provoking visual changes in the area under the eyes.
Look how many blood vessels there are around the eyes and what kind of “glow” they give:
The skin itself also loses its density and elasticity over the years, and sometimes acquires dark pigmentation.
Pathological changes
With an unhealthy lifestyle or the manifestation of any diseases, lymphatic drainage and microcirculation of fluid in the body are disrupted. Diseases of the liver and kidneys are accompanied by an increased content of toxins in the body, which in turn provokes the appearance of dark areas with a yellow tint. A low level of oxygen transport in the circulatory system provokes the appearance of “bruises” of purple and blue shades. This is a very general diagnostic assessment, but in general, the color of the area under the eyes can signal a particular disease.
If any disease has haunted you since childhood, then circles around the eyes can be observed from the same age.
Age reasons.
With age, subcutaneous fat shifts, its amount decreases, and the skin becomes thinner. If previously the blood vessels and tissues of the periorbital region were “hidden” by thick skin and subcutaneous fat, then with age the vessels with tissues begin to “see through” and give a blue or dark color.
Rarely, the pigmentation of the epidermis under the eyes can change with age, then the causes of problematic formations in the periorbital zone can be several factors, including the skin color itself.
Myths about the procedure
Myth 1. Mesotherapy is injections of hyaluronic acid
During the procedure, not only preparations based on hyaluronic acid can be used. The compositions can be very diverse. Mesococktails with a complex of peptides or fortified solutions from plant components are often used.
Myth 2. Mesotherapy is a very painful procedure
Another common misconception. It cannot be said that mesotherapy does not give the patient any sensations, but this is not at all critical. Before giving injections, cosmetologists use local anesthesia. Ultra-thin nanoneedles of the latest generation have been developed for painless penetration. After their use there are no traumatic injuries or hematomas.
Myth 3. Mesotherapy rejuvenates by 10 years or more
Alas, this is not true. The procedure significantly improves the skin, eliminates fine wrinkles, strengthens the dermal layer, moisturizes the skin, and strengthens the walls of blood vessels. You should not expect a powerful rejuvenating effect from mesotherapy. This will require more radical interventions.
Myth 4. After canceling injections, the skin ages rapidly
This is impossible! The patient's skin will never return to its original state. During the procedure, drugs are introduced that are absorbed and stimulate the functioning of the skin itself. Its appearance noticeably improves not only under the influence of vitamin complexes and nutrients, but also due to stimulation of the skin’s immune system and activation of intradermal metabolic processes.
Myth 5. The result of mesotherapy is noticeable after the first session
One of the popular misconceptions. The procedure is characterized by a cumulative effect. The result will become noticeable only after a course consisting of 7-10 sessions.
Myth 6. Mesotherapy is addictive
Not a single injection procedure in cosmetology is addictive.
Myth 7. Mesotherapy will help replace other cosmetic procedures
Unfortunately, it is not. After 40-45 years, the procedure is useless, since it is unable to resist age-related changes in facial skin. The optimal period for mesotherapy is considered to be between 22 and 30 years of age, when the first signs of skin aging begin to appear.
Rehabilitation and skin care
Rehabilitation and skin care after the procedure must be carried out correctly, otherwise serious complications may occur. The most common complications are long-term swelling or the formation of dense papules at the puncture sites.
In the most severe cases, there is the development of post-traumatic lymphostasis, the appearance of long-lasting bruises and lumps, and the development of an inflammatory process due to an infection. Fortunately, such complications are extremely rare. But their appearance cannot be ruled out. When the first signs of trouble appear, you must urgently seek medical help.
To reduce the risk of complications, you must follow a number of simple but very important rules. After the sessions it is prohibited:
- use decorative cosmetics;
- drink alcohol;
- sunbathe;
- swim in open water or pools;
- exercise.
The last recommendation may cause confusion, since sports activities are beneficial for the body. However, after mesotherapy you should refrain from training for several days. The fact is that during physical activity, waste and toxins are removed from the body through the sweat glands. And at the same time, the components of meso-cocktails will be removed along with harmful substances. Therefore, you need to avoid training for several days so that the administered substances have time to take effect.
conclusions
- Mesoeye C71 is produced by a company whose products have been presented in our country for several years and are positively assessed by professional cosmetologists. The drug is registered and sold in full compliance with the legislation of the Russian Federation; there is also no negative information about the official distributor.
- Sales of this biorepair began relatively recently, so there are reviews from cosmetologists and patients about its practical use, nuances, side effects, etc. very little. We were also unable to find independent studies that would determine the extent of its effectiveness.
Methodology of the procedure
For the injection procedure, very thin needles 2-6 mm long and about 0.5-1 ml of meso-cocktail are used.
- The affected area is treated with an antiseptic.
- When working with the area around the eyes, it is advisable to use anesthesia, as the area is very sensitive. If the patient has closely spaced capillaries visible under the skin, the skin is treated with an adrenaline solution before starting injections. It will narrow the blood vessels and reduce the risk of complications such as hematomas.
- The actual procedure for introducing the mesococktail takes no more than 20-30 minutes.
- Finally, the skin is re-treated with an antiseptic.
With non-injection methods, the serum is applied directly to cleansed, sometimes heated skin. The session also lasts about 30 minutes; no antiseptic treatment is needed.
After the procedure is completed, the cosmetologist evaluates the result and the presence or absence of complications. Gives important recommendations for skin care during the rehabilitation period.
With classical mesotherapy, the number of sessions is usually small, on average 3-7 procedures. With needle-free techniques, at least 10 sessions are required. There should be a gap of 1-2 weeks between procedures.
