MESOTHERAPY

Mesotherapy has been used in medicine for many years. It is a method of injecting small doses of medicine right into changed places. In the seventies, a French doctor M. Pistor adopted mesotherapy to aesthetic dermatology. It is a perfect method preventing skin ageing, loosing hair and generating cellulite. Mid-skin injections with nutritious mixtures into the relevant spots, e.g. face, neck, décolletage, hairy head skin, hunkers, thighs, abdomen. Treatment can be done only by doctor with a needle and syringe or a special mechanical mesotherapy indicator.

Special mixtures have to be prepared in mesotherapy. They are usually three mixed revitalizing and regenerating substances called cocktails. Active substances should be properly mixed dependently on the treatment and the patients need.

You are not a good candidate to the treatment if you:

	Have an allergy
	Are pregnant
	Have inflammable skin changes, herpes, wounds
	If your skin does not tolerate injections (skin with visible blood vessels, which easily gets keloids).

Treatment mechanism
Before the treatment you should carefully clean up your skin (carefully remove make up), and disinfect injected spots after treatment with e.g. hydrogen peroxide.

The mixture is injected into mid-skin, from 0,5 to 4 millimeters deep, with 4 to 5 millimeter gap in between the spots. We use a 0,4 x 4 millimeters needle and inject the area that needs regeneration. If there are winkles, we do injections along that lines, and leaving spaces at both sides of the lines. We can inject every kind of wrinkles: eye wrinkles, mimic wrinkles around lips, dark wrinkles on cheeks and neck. After injection we can see small blisters, but they disappear within a few minutes. After the treatment we disinfect the injected places.

Disadvantages and other circumstances that can happen during treatment:

	Pain during injections is inconsiderable and might be limited with pain-killer (i.e. EMLA unguent)
	Effusions and bruises are small and disappear in a few days after treatment
	Blush and swallow can stay not longer than dozen hours; this is not a reaction for allergy but for a skin injection
	Inflammable states in injected places are very seldom
	Allergy states are very seldom and usually passes by; if they occur, they usually are with blush and itching

Advantages of Mesotherapy:
It is a non-surgery method of improving the skin's condition and looks. Mid-skin and under-skin injections of substances (e.g. hyaluron acid, organic silica, multivitamins) stimulate the cell metabolism and increase the collagen and elastine production.
Skin looks younger, well-nurtured and comforted.

Mesotherapy is very effective in hair loosing prophylactics. Especially prepared cocktails of hair nutrition substances (minoxidil, dexpanthenol, oligoelements) generate hair structure regeneration, stop the hair loosing process and even stimulate re-growing of hair.
Mesotherapy is also very effective in removing cellulite. Injections with coffin and vegetal extracts made of melilotus officinalis and routine improve micro-circulation in under-skin tissues and increase the fat cells metabolism (lipolysis). It effects with general skin firming and cellulite removing.

To achieve expected effects you should take a set of treatments, usually according to a scheme one session a week during 8 weeks, and later on some support treatments - once a month, during 3 to 6 weeks. The scheme is of course modified, according to patient's individual needs and skin reactions. You should also remember the effects are not immediate, it takes some time before obtaining the expected reactions.

This modern method of skin regeneration and nutrition is very popular, because mid-skin injections of active substances guarantee fast and apparent effects of wrinkles correction, hair condition and body skin smoothness. And that effects with a sense of well-being and self-confidence.
