MESOTHERAPY AND MICRONEEDLING
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy derives its name from the Latin words "meso" meaning "middle" and "therapeia" meaning "therapy." This treatment, performed in the middle layer of the skin using a needle in a method similar to acupuncture, involves injecting amino acids, minerals, enzymes, and vitamins either alone or mixed together.
Mesotherapy is a gentle skin treatment that works by injecting natural active ingredients into your skin. The procedure uses micro-needling, which creates tiny micro-channels in the skin, allowing the body to absorb the active ingredients more effectively.
Benefits of Mesotherapy:
- Softens wrinkles
- Removes blackheads
- Stimulates collagen growth
- Firms and tightens the skin
- Reduces cellulite and pigmentation spots
- Diminishes fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging
Who Should Avoid Mesotherapy?
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women
- Individuals with known allergies to the active ingredients
- People with autoimmune diseases
- Those with a known allergy to hyaluronic acid, immunotherapeutic treatments, or skin inflammations
- Individuals with active skin infections
Possible Side Effects:
- Allergic reactions
- Swelling and bruising
Mesotherapy for the Eye Area
Mesotherapy can also be performed around the eyes to reduce dark circles and puffiness, and to revitalize the area. This is done using very thin needles, injecting the product under the skin in small papules to nourish the area.
Possible Side Effects:
- Swelling
- Increased fluid retention under the eyes
- Bruising
- Allergic reactions
Microneedling
Microneedling is a treatment that creates thousands of small holes in the outermost layer of the skin to stimulate collagen production. Increased collagen production revitalizes the skin, reduces wrinkles and pores, and can make scars and stretch marks less noticeable.
The tiny holes stimulate the skin to repair itself, boosting the production of collagen and elastin. These proteins provide strength, elasticity, and support to the skin. The breakdown of collagen and elastin is a major cause of wrinkles and lines associated with aging. Microneedling can help reverse this process by increasing the skin’s production of these crucial proteins.
Benefits of Microneedling:
- Rejuvenates the skin
- Reduces wrinkles, lines, and pores
- Minimizes scars, especially acne scars
- Enhances the effectiveness of skincare products
- Reduces stretch marks and pigmentation spots
- Adds a radiant glow to the skin
Common Indications for Microneedling:
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Pores and uneven skin texture
- Age-related changes and sun-damaged skin
- Stretch marks
- Scars, especially acne scars
- Pigmentation spots
Who Should Avoid Microneedling?
- Individuals with active skin infections or inflammations
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women
- Those with certain skin conditions or severe acne
Downtime and Aftercare:
- Downtime: 0-5 days
- Avoid sun exposure and use strong sun protection for 6 weeks post-treatment
