What is Facial Mesotherapy?
Facial mesotherapy is a cosmetic treatment that addresses a range of skin problems, including skin rejuvenation, hydration, and tone balancing, by injecting a specialized mixture under the skin. This mixture typically contains hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and other skin-regenerating ingredients. The process directly affects the deeper layers of the skin, resulting in a more vibrant, smoother, and younger-looking complexion.
How is Facial Mesotherapy Applied?
The facial mesotherapy procedure begins after the skin is cleansed and, if necessary, local anesthesia is applied. A specialized mixture, determined by a qualified plastic surgeon or dermatologist, is then injected subcutaneously using a fine-tipped needle or mesotherapy gun. The injected mixture works by targeting underlying skin problems.
Who is Suitable for?
Facial mesotherapy is generally a suitable treatment option for individuals experiencing skin problems such as signs of aging, sun damage, acne scars, decreased skin elasticity, and uneven skin tone. However, it is not recommended for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, those with bleeding disorders, or those with certain skin infections or allergies.
How Often Should It Be Applied?
Facial mesotherapy is generally applied at intervals of 3 to 6 weeks. After the first session, 3 to 5 sessions are generally recommended to achieve the desired results. Afterward, sessions can be continued at regular intervals for preventative purposes.
Advantages of Facial Mesotherapy
Facial mesotherapy helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, while also improving skin elasticity and maintaining moisture balance. It can also help with acne scars, pigmentation disorders, and blemishes.
Side Effects and Cautions for Facial Mesotherapy
Although facial mesotherapy is generally a safe procedure, some side effects can occur. These side effects may include mild redness, swelling, tenderness, and, rarely, infection. It is important to protect your skin from the sun and maintain proper skin care after the procedure.
