What is mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is the injection of drugs into the skin. Hyaluronic acid, which gives fullness to the skin and balances the moisture rate, PRP solution prepared from the patient's own blood, antioxidant vitamins, selenium, ginko biloba, DMHA substance used for tightening the skin, vitamin B5, copper and zinc, salmon DNA and many more. Reliable and useful molecules for health can be found. Mixtures of these substances can also be applied in combination.
Developed by Michel Pistor in 1952, mesotherapy is used in the treatment of many skin diseases today, but also for cosmetic purposes such as cellulite, xanthelasma, facial rejuvenation, hyperpigmentation, etc. This procedure, which is widely used for skin rejuvenation and beautification all over the world, can be applied not only to the face but also to any part of the body.
How is mesotherapy applied?
- Local anesthetic creams are applied for the mesotherapy process and sufficient time is waited for narcosis (20-40 minutes). Then the application area is cleaned with skin disinfectants and the prepared ingredients are injected into the skin.
-Unstung mesotherapy (mesostar) works through electroporation. The drugs prepared with the help of microchannels formed by monopolar low voltage electrical current and polarization are transferred to the target tissue by passing through the skin.
Mesotherapy using very fine needle injectors is much more common. Injections are also within the targeted level dermis. Some pain, bleeding and bruising can be seen in all of these applications, but these side effects are at levels that can be easily tolerated by the patients.
Why do we need mesotherapy? Why should everyone who can afford it?
Because time flows unstoppably and irreversibly. And over time, histological and clinical changes occur in our skin (chronoaging).
Changes occur especially in skin texture and elasticity, skin pigmentation, subcutaneous tissue quality, and vascular system.
-Clinically, the volume of the skin decreases (atrophy) and wrinkles appear with loosening of its tightness.
As the epidermis thins histologically, the dermis layer also gets thinner, and the number of elastic fibers and the production capacity of fibroblast cells decrease.
- With aging, the immune, hormonal, and neural functions of the skin also decrease, and these changes are genetically determined, that is, they come from within. For this reason, differences in skin aging processes and severity are observed from person to person.
In addition, exposure to the sun for many years also leads to negative changes and aging (photoaging) in our skin.
- Since the ingredients applied with mesotherapy have different properties, they are often applied in combination and some of the benefits seen are as follows:
* Increases the quality of the epidermis.
* Significantly increases the proportion of elastic fibers.
* Increases collagen, elastin and endogenous hyaluronic acid synthesis of fibroblasts.
* Provides collagen repair.
* Increases skin moisture and microcirculation and strengthens the extracellular matrix.
* It cleans free radicals (they are harmful to the skin) and shows an antioxidant effect.
How often should mesotherapy be done?
- It can be applied in 6-8 sessions with two-three week intervals, or it can be done continuously with wider time intervals (4-6 weeks).
