Will mesotherapy help with rosacea on the face and what you need to know about this procedure

Application for rosacea

When the vessels weaken and dilate, a reddish venous network appears on the body. This disease is called rosacea. It is not dangerous to health, but indicates a predisposition to varicose veins.

Mesotherapy for rosacea is an effective way to treat this defect. It works more reliably than traditional methods and cosmetics. Spider veins disappear after 2-3 sessions, and after the full course the result is permanent.

The composition of the drug is always discussed with a cosmetologist; it may include other useful microelements. Therefore, together with the treatment of rosacea, the general condition of the skin improves.

The procedure has disadvantages. Clients with a low pain threshold have difficulty with injections. In this case, painless laser treatment is preferable. But this method cannot cope with severe forms of rosacea in one procedure, and repeating it is fraught with darkening or discoloration of the skin. With mesotherapy, pigmentation does not appear.

Photorejuvenation also does not require injections and gets rid of vascular networks, but it is contraindicated for people with dark skin and moles in the treatment areas. Side effects after the procedure bother you for a long time - 1-2 weeks.

Electrocoagulation copes with severe forms of rosacea, but is effective only on a limited area. Also, after it is carried out, pigment spots and scars may appear at the puncture site.

The choice of procedure depends on the stage of the disease, sensitivity, and individual characteristics of the client.

Cost of the procedure

The price for one session ranges from approximately 3,000 to 6,000 rubles, it depends on factors such as:

• area of ​​the affected area of ​​the face, neck and décolleté;
• size of vascular networks;
• type of drugs and their quantity;
• patient's skin condition;
• level of the clinic and qualification of the master.

Even with the first stage of rosacea, one session is usually not enough; a whole course of 4-10 procedures is required. But in the future, to maintain the results, it is advisable to take a maintenance course every 1-2 years.

As a rule, patients immediately question whether mesoprocedure can be done simultaneously with other methods of treating rosacea?

Yes, you can. In case of severe disease, mesotherapy is usually prescribed, which gives good results, for example, together with laser resurfacing.

Contraindications

Mesotherapy has limitations:

• pregnancy;
• lactation period;
• oncological diseases;
• diseases of the blood, skin, kidneys;
• infectious, chronic diseases in acute form;
• allergic reactions to the drug.

Leaving these “risk groups” allows you to begin a course of treatment for rosacea. The composition of the vitamin complex is determined together with a cosmetologist, so the component that causes allergies is excluded.

Menstruation is not a limitation to therapy, but hormonal levels and blood properties change during this period. Purulent pimples that appear during menstruation will temporarily prevent the procedure from being carried out, and there is a risk of infection.

Side effects after mesotherapy during menstruation are more pronounced - small bruises risk developing into hematomas, and swelling appears.

It is also worth remembering the change in pain sensitivity. The injection method is painful, and during menstruation it will be more difficult to endure the injections. Therefore, it is better to adjust the mesotherapy schedule so as to avoid procedures during menstruation.

Causes of rosacea on the face

Couperosis can occur on all skin types. Most often, this pathology is observed in women with light and very sensitive skin, prone to slight redness. The most striking sign of the disease is the presence of small dilated veins, which appear mainly around the cheekbones and sides of the nose, as purple or reddish lines on the cheeks and chest.

Main reasons for development:

• hypothermia of the skin in winter (for example, under the influence of cold and dry wind),
• increased ambient temperature and direct exposure to infrared radiation (for example, prolonged sunbathing or high temperature in a sauna),
• mechanical stress to the skin (frequent cosmetic cleansing or exposure to irritants),
• long-term treatment with corticosteroids (topical application),
• weakness of the vascular wall (may manifest itself in the form of frequent nosebleeds),
• weakness of connective tissue and capillary system,
• hereditary factors (most often transmitted through the female line),
• hormonal changes in the body (for example, pregnancy),
• consequences of chronic diseases of internal organs and systems,
• bad habits.

Kinds

There are two main types of mesotherapy: classical (injection) and hardware (non-injection).

Injection

The classic approach to treating spider veins with mesotherapy involves injecting the active drug with 3-6 mm needles.

Traditional and fractional (multi-needle) methods are used. During the first one, the cosmetologist determines the injection points and injects the drug himself or with an injector gun.

For fractional therapy, a device with microneedles is used, which does not stretch the skin and causes less trauma to it. The risk of side effects is reduced, the rehabilitation period passes in 1-2 days.

Using controlled injections, the specialist determines the depth of penetration and distribution of the meso-cocktail.

Non-invasive

Mesotherapy can be done without injections. The drug is applied to the problem area of ​​the skin and processed by the device. Influence used:

• oxygen;
• cold;
• ultrasound;
• laser;
• galvanic current;
• electric waves.

Rating of the best drugs for mesotherapy

Pharmacy drugs

Redness on the face can be relieved by pharmaceutical products. They contain the same drugs that are included in the injection cocktail - vitamins C, B, magnesium, zinc, which is useful in the fight against rosacea rutin.

KOSMO-ANTICUPEROSE concentrate is used for home procedures. In addition to the listed components, it contains algae extract, which increases skin elasticity.

The initial stages of rosacea are treated with ointments. Pharmacies offer Troxevasin, heparin ointment, Lyoton, Troxerutin. They strengthen capillaries, but are not able to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin. Treatment with ointments will take more time, and the result may be insignificant. Complete removal of venous networks with ointments is impossible.

Meso cocktails

Mesopreparations for rosacea contain:

• rutin (vitamin PP);
• vitamin C;
• zinc, selenium, magnesium;
• organic acids;
• microelements;
• plant extracts;
• homeopathic extracts.

These components strengthen the walls of blood vessels, increase the elasticity of capillaries, and improve blood circulation.

By determining the composition of the meso-cocktail together with a cosmetologist, you can add hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin to it to increase skin elasticity.

Working with the problem area

At the first stage of therapy, the skin is cleansed of impurities and disinfected.

During the injection procedure, a numbing cream is applied to the skin. Attention is paid to the delicate area around the eyes, eyelids and neck. Sometimes anesthetic components are already present in the mesococktail.

Then the cosmetologist injects the drug to the desired depth. This stage is the longest, taking 20-30 minutes. The procedure is completed with a soothing or cooling cream.

Possible side effects from mesotherapy

During treatment, complications and side effects are possible. They are quite rare, however, cosmetologists note the following:

• pain during injection, it can be eliminated by first applying an anesthetic,
• redness, swelling occurs immediately after mesotherapy, this is a skin reaction to puncture,
• very rare allergic conditions, manifested by erythema, resolve spontaneously after a few minutes or hours,
• bruises, hematomas.

Most often, side effects occur when mesotherapy is performed by an inexperienced doctor and when the patient has contraindications.

Recovery

After a mesotherapy session, it is necessary to follow the rules of rehabilitation, otherwise the result of the procedure will not last. They are similar to recommendations for preparing for the procedure.

Side effects after the procedure disappear within 5-7 days and do not require medical intervention.

To relieve itching, relieve redness and pain, potato or cabbage gruel is applied to problem areas, and painkillers are used. Allergic reactions are treated with antihistamines

If negative sensations intensify, nausea, fever, inflammation appear, you should consult a doctor. Infection can lead to skin necrosis. It can only be avoided in a clinic where sanitary standards are observed.

Cuperosis: treatment with mesotherapy

Mesotherapy against rosacea is a method that involves the direct introduction of special cocktails and medicinal substances into the affected areas of the skin. Its creator is the French doctor Michel Pistor. This method was originally used to treat migraines, neurological diseases, varicose veins and respiratory diseases.

Preparation for mesotherapy:

• 2 weeks before the cosmetic procedure, aspirin should not be used,
• Immediately before the procedure (1, 2 hours), the skin is treated with an anesthetic cream (for example, EMLA).

The cosmetic procedure itself for this pathology consists in the fact that special substances are injected several millimeters into the problem areas using thin needles.

Doses of drugs injected under the skin average about one tenth of a milliliter. The cosmetologist performs this procedure in a very short time, and it is practically painless.

There are two ways to perform injections:

1. Manually (the doctor uses a syringe to inject the drug into the area of ​​the vascular network),
2. Using special equipment (the doctor uses a mesotherapy device to administer the drug).

The latter method of carrying out a cosmetic procedure is the most comfortable, but it is less accurate and effective.

Compatibility with other methods

The effect of mesotherapy is aimed at overall improvement of the skin, getting rid of small vascular networks. Couperosis in advanced stages cannot be cured with injections alone, so meso is used in parallel with laser. After saturation with vitamins and minerals, the face becomes hydrated.

Side effects from the laser procedure become less noticeable, skin tone will not change, and pigment spots will not appear. Only the combined use of techniques gives effective results.

Who is mesotherapy indicated for?

Mesotherapy has no age restrictions. Teenagers and young people over 20 years of age often resort to it. It is recommended in the following cases:

1. prevention or elimination of the first signs of aging;
2. dull skin, “panda effect”;
3. dehydrated, dry skin;
4. acne or post-acne, enlarged pores, rosacea, increased pigmentation;
5. after mechanical peeling and similar manipulations.

This procedure also takes place during preparation for plastic surgery. Mesotherapy is used in combination with other procedures to combat cellulite, stretch marks, telangiectasia, and excess weight. In old age, mesotherapy may well be used, but it should be borne in mind that in people in their seventh decade, the effect of it will be less pronounced.

Reviews

Irina, 44 years old, Pskov

“My review of mesotherapy is positive. I noticed minor redness in the cheeks and nose area. The cosmetologist said it was rosacea. After the meso session, venous networks, pigment spots, and even small wrinkles disappeared.”

Olga, 31 years old, Moscow

“I chose the clinic based on the photo on the website - my situation is serious and I wanted to achieve a good result. I attributed the redness to the cold and wasted time. I came to the doctor when the third stage began, he recommended meso. After the course, nothing changed, six months later I signed up for laser removal - it helped.”
