Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the injection of a customized cocktail of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, hormones, and other substances into the skin’s mesodermal layer (middle layer). Originally developed in France in the 1950s by Dr. Michel Pistor, mesotherapy was initially used to treat conditions such as pain, circulation problems, and sports injuries. However, it has since gained popularity as a cosmetic treatment for various skin concerns.
Here’s an overview of mesotherapy, including its uses, procedure, benefits, and potential risks:
Uses of Mesotherapy:
- Skin Rejuvenation: Mesotherapy can improve skin texture, tone, and hydration by stimulating collagen production and enhancing microcirculation in the treated area.
- Hair Restoration: Mesotherapy injections can promote hair growth and thickness by delivering nutrients directly to the hair follicles, improving blood flow, and reducing inflammation.
- Cellulite Reduction: Mesotherapy injections may help break down fat cells and improve lymphatic drainage, leading to a reduction in the appearance of cellulite.
- Localized Fat Reduction: Mesotherapy injections can target small areas of unwanted fat, such as love handles or double chin, by dissolving fat cells and aiding in their elimination from the body.
Procedure: During a mesotherapy session, a healthcare provider or trained practitioner administers a series of injections using a fine needle or mesotherapy gun. The injections are delivered directly into the target area of the skin, typically at a shallow depth to ensure the substances reach the mesodermal layer. The specific formulation of the injected solution varies depending on the patient’s needs and the desired outcome. Treatment sessions are usually spaced several weeks apart, with multiple sessions recommended for optimal results.
