Mesotherapy is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment involving the injection of a customized blend of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and other active ingredients directly into the skin’s middle layer (mesoderm). It is designed to rejuvenate, hydrate, and improve skin health, targeting a variety of aesthetic and medical concerns.
Uses of Mesotherapy
1. Aesthetic Applications
- Skin Rejuvenation: Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness by improving skin hydration and elasticity.
- Hair Restoration: Stimulates hair growth and slows hair loss by delivering nutrients to the scalp.
- Cellulite Reduction: Breaks down fat deposits and improves skin texture in areas affected by cellulite.
- Body Contouring: Helps in localized fat reduction by dissolving fat cells.
- Pigmentation Issues: Reduces dark spots and improves overall skin tone.
2. Medical Applications
- Pain Management: Used to alleviate musculoskeletal pain or sports injuries.
- Scar Treatment: Improves the appearance of acne scars or surgical scars.
How Does Mesotherapy Work?
A small needle is used to deliver a cocktail of active ingredients into the targeted area. The specific formulation is customized based on the individual’s needs and goals. The ingredients may include:
- Hyaluronic Acid: For hydration and plumping.
- Amino Acids and Peptides: To stimulate collagen production and repair.
- Vitamins (e.g., A, C, E): For skin health and radiance.
- Botanicals and Enzymes: To target specific issues like fat or pigmentation.
The injections stimulate the skin's natural healing process, enhance circulation, and boost the metabolism of targeted cells.
