Injectable mesotherapy is a method that aims to achieve a rejuvenating effect on the skin while preserving the patients' natural aesthetic features. It will strictly influence the quality of the skin, without producing changes in volume and facial expression.
How it works mesotherapy?
It is a non-invasive and painless needle technique, performed manually (syringe with a very fine needle) or instrumentally (using specially designed devices - pen or gun).
Local anaesthesia is not mandatory, it can be performed depending on the patient's tolerability.
This involves introducing into the integument at mesodermal level, by microinjections, a cocktail of substances, determined by the doctor according to the patient's needs and situation, containing vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, hyaluronic acid, trace elements, etc.
Active substances are natural ingredients of the body's tissues that are essential for their functioning and that actively participate in cellular metabolism, inducing the activation of metabolic pathways:
- stimulating cell repair and multiplication;
- inducing cellular recovery, ensuring their integrity and tissue health;
- acting on countless biological processes important in the ageing process with reversibility.
Mesotherapy is used as a treatment for dermatological/aesthetic conditions such as alopecia (hair loss), cellulite/localised adiposity (liposomes), stretch marks, dark circles under the eyes, post-acne scars or regenerative therapy of the integument of the face, neckline or back of the hands.
For each of these problems, the treating doctor draws up a therapeutic protocol, describing the substances used, the total number of sessions and their periodicity (for example, for cellulite, 7-10 sessions every 7-10 days are necessary, for epidermal regeneration 3-5 sessions every 2-4 weeks).
It is very important to perform maintenance sessions every 6 months-1 year.
Risks are minimal and side effects are low. There may be small bruising or haematomas in areas of laxity, redness, local pain, burning, itching or a minor local allergic reaction.
