Facial mesotherapy. What is it?
Facial mesotherapy is a medically invasive treatment and correction procedure in which various mixtures of active ingredients are injected into the skin of the face. Depending on the patient’s needs, age and skin condition, the preparations may contain hyaluronic acid, amino acids, enzymes, vitamins, antioxidants and other substances. These preparations stimulate skin renewal, blood circulation and lymphatic flow. Fibroblast activity is also activated and the walls of blood vessels are strengthened. All these processes ensure the natural renewal of the skin. Mesotherapy can immediately improve the condition of tired, puffy skin. This procedure can also be very effective in treating hyperpigmentation and acne. Mesotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for wrinkles

Facial mesotherapy process
During the procedure, microinjections are administered into the facial skin using an ultra-thin needle to inject various mixtures of active agents into the upper layers of the skin. The biologically active agents penetrate to a depth of 0.5-1.0 mm and directly affect specific areas of the face. If necessary, the injection site is anaesthetised with an anaesthetic cream. Depending on the area where the procedure is performed, it takes between 30 and 60 minutes. To achieve an optimal and high quality result, a minimum of 3-5 treatments are required, spaced 7-15 days apart, depending on the condition of the skin and the desired result. After a course of mesotherapy, maintenance treatments are recommended.
Preparing for the procedure
First of all, of course, the dermatologist carries out a thorough analysis of the skin condition and decides which composition of active ingredients should be used for mesotherapy. It is recommended to avoid aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for a week before the procedure. These painkillers can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising during mesotherapy. It is also recommended that patients undergo a deep cleansing of the face one week prior to the treatment in order to improve the absorption of the active ingredients and to achieve a more effective result.
