Mesotherapy is a procedure in which medications or similar formulations are delivered to the deeper layers of the skin using fine needles. It allows the active ingredients to be applied directly to the problem area or closer to it than usual. It is used in various fields, such as treating skin issues, skin rejuvenation, and cellulite treatment. Through microinjections of substances like vitamins and plant extracts into the subcutaneous layer, mesotherapy stimulates skin cells, promoting a healthier and more vibrant appearance.
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical procedure that involves delivering certain reactive substances, typically to the middle dermis layer, using microinjections, aiming to achieve high efficacy from therapeutic products. Depending on the intended target, various active ingredients can be injected into the skin alone or in combination. The mesotherapy technique was first used by Dr. Michel Pistor in 1952 to treat pain and vascular issues, and over time, it has become more widely applied for cosmetic purposes. It has applications in areas such as hair loss, body contouring, and treating skin issues.
With its rapid results and increasing popularity, mesotherapy is now offered by many institutions and facilities. However, procedures performed in unsuitable settings or by non-experts may cause side effects. Issues such as nausea, vomiting, pain, swelling, and itching are some of these. Incorrect techniques can lead to unwanted outcomes like infections, hyperpigmentation, and subcutaneous nodules. For these reasons, choosing reputable and specialized institutions is a safer option.
Mesotherapy can be used for various purposes, from reducing wrinkles to treating cellulite. The areas where mesotherapy is applied and its benefits are as follows:
Mesotherapy is suitable for many areas of the body, depending on the desired effect. The application area varies based on the intended outcome. For example, it can be applied to the abdomen, hips, and legs for cellulite treatment and removal of unwanted fat tissue. Mesotherapy procedures performed on the hair, face, and neck areas can be detailed as follows:
Hair Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy can be preferred for patients experiencing hair loss, with the aim of preventing hair loss and stimulating hair follicles. By injecting vitamins, minerals, and various therapeutic products used in hair loss treatment, hair roots can become stronger and healthier. The desired effect can be enhanced by delivering these agents to the deeper layers of the skin, allowing for quicker results.
Facial Mesotherapy
As a natural result of aging, fine lines and wrinkles start to appear on the face. Mesotherapy is one of the most effective non-surgical methods to eliminate such signs of aging and improve skin appearance. Additionally, it can be used for various skin issues. Issues that can be corrected with facial mesotherapy include:
With mesotherapy, products such as Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and Hyaluronic Acid can be injected into the skin. The use of such products can result in a brighter, more vibrant, and healthier skin appearance. By stimulating cell renewal, it can strengthen the skin barrier and protect the skin from external factors.
Neck Mesotherapy
The neck area is prone to sagging and wrinkles. Through mesotherapy, the production of collagen and elastin fibers is stimulated. A firmer and fuller appearance can be achieved. Unwanted fat in the neck, especially in the area known as the double chin, can be broken down with mesotherapy, giving this area a more pleasant look.
Before deciding on mesotherapy, a patient’s skin type and medical conditions are thoroughly examined. The patient is informed about potential side effects. Local anesthesia may be applied depending on the area and application method. Using special devices called meso-guns, micro-injections are carried out through various techniques. Active ingredients like vitamins, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants are applied individually or in combination, depending on the desired results and complaints. These agents reach deep skin layers, providing a high level of efficacy.
This method allows for stimulating connective tissue, increasing blood and lymph circulation, and making changes in fat tissue without surgery. During the first two months, the treatment is administered biweekly, followed by monthly sessions for the next two months. For lasting effects, treatment can be repeated twice a year. Factors such as inadequate sun protection may reduce the effectiveness of mesotherapy, so it is advised to avoid such practices.
Mesotherapy can be applied to patients dealing with issues such as hair loss and cellulite. Suitable candidates for mesotherapy include:
Mesotherapy is a widely preferred and effective method. However, it should only be applied to individuals who have obtained doctor approval. Therefore, a detailed medical examination should be done before deciding on mesotherapy, and it should only be performed in reputable health institutions.
Although mesotherapy is a highly effective treatment, it is not suitable for everyone. Patients who are not ideal candidates include:
If you have concerns such as hair loss, wrinkles, cellulite, or skin problems, you may consult a healthcare facility and see a dermatology specialist to determine if you are suitable for treatment and obtain professional advice on the process.
