Dmae what is it: the drug Dmae in cosmetology, what effect it gives, indications and contraindications

Around the age of 40, the face changes, regardless of the intensity of care for it. Even if outwardly it remains the same, age cannot but affect the condition of the internal structures of the skin. Reduced production of hyaluronic acid, aging of elastin and collagen fibers, slowdown of metabolic processes - all these are age-related changes invisible to the eye. Mesolifting helps combat them and their consequences.

A little history

Dmae is an excellent solution for tightening, rejuvenating and moisturizing the surface of the skin. In medicine, it was previously used only as a dietary supplement (dietary supplement) - together with food - to normalize sleep, restore the body after injuries and improve memory.

In 1958, a doctor from France, Michel Pistor, began injecting a rejuvenation agent into the epidermis of some patients. He noted that the use of this substance gives, although not very significant, a positive result. After representatives of the medical community saw the effect after this type of procedure, Dmae mesotherapy became widespread. Since then, DMAE in cosmetology has been considered one of the safest and optimal ways to get rid of many skin imperfections and prolong youth.

Features of DMAE mesotherapy

When administering a substance, cosmetologists usually use one of several techniques: intramuscular injections, nappage techniques or papules.

During the procedure, the specialist makes a small number of injections into certain areas - this allows you to cover all the necessary muscle fibers. The duration of DMAE mesotherapy depends on the area of the treated area. Typically the procedure takes up to 20 minutes.

The procedure can be done with anesthesia, since mesotherapy is a painful technique. It all depends on the individual characteristics of the patient and his sensitivity.

The principle of action of the drug

The substance on which Dmae is based is present in every human body, as well as in salmon fish. It is called dimethylaminoethanol . This chemical compound regulates the strength of cell walls, preventing the loss of nutrients.

The effect of the drug is that the human body needs a constant supply of the active form of acetylcholine, which is considered a kind of activator of many ongoing processes. Due to the fact that age-related changes negatively affect the speed and volume of production of this substance, the body begins to lose tone, reflexes significantly slow down, lethargy occurs, etc.

The drug Dmae causes special reactions that trigger the production of acetylcholine. Notably, dimethylaminoethanol also controls molecular cross-talk, preventing too much bonding. In addition, the substance in question is considered an excellent antioxidant, improving blood composition and saturating tissues with oxygen.

In addition, mesotherapy with Dmae helps get rid of lipofuscin, which is a toxic pigment that accumulates in the brain, heart, nerve cells and, of course, the skin. Here's what the drug does:

removes toxins;
improves immunity and strengthens the body;
cleanses and improves skin condition, solves a number of related problems;
helps tighten the skin and get rid of inflammation.

Composition of cocktails for mesotherapy

Mesotherapy involves the introduction of one drug or a whole complex of useful substances under the skin. The following ingredients are widely used:

• hyaluronic acid, which stimulates the generation of collagen fibers and retains fluid. It is possible to administer both a single drug and complex injections;

• phospholipids, which are an integral component of membranes and increase the elasticity of skin cells;

• silicon and magnesium salts, which strengthen tissues and ensure their elasticity. They improve cell nutrition and improve skin tone;

• polylactic acid, which supports the natural process of neocollagen formation, which in turn stimulates collagen production.

Cocktails for mesotherapy can consist of vitamins of different groups, antioxidants, active enzymes, immunomodulators and even antibiotics. There are about 200 cocktail recipes, differing in different compositions and used in various cases, depending on the condition of the skin and cosmetic defects.

Benefits of the procedure

Why is this procedure so widely popular today? This is due to the following factors:

High level of efficiency. Experts note that the positive effect of the drug Dmae can be noticed after the first session.
Fast course. Five to six therapy sessions are enough to improve your appearance.
The procedures take little time. The modern rhythm of life involves a constant lack of time, and a ten-minute procedure is perfect even for a busy woman.
Durability. The result after the procedure remains for a long time.
Safety. The product is absolutely safe for the body.
The procedure avoids surgery.

Professional cosmetologists speak positively about this drug. They note that procedures using it allow you to even out the contours of the face and say goodbye to folds and wrinkles. In addition, after such mesotherapy, lips become more attractive and plump, and the skin acquires a healthy and even tone.

The effect of mesotherapy

The result of mesotherapy is noted after 2-3 procedures, and the lifting effect is usually noticeable immediately after the first procedure. The complexion improves, deep wrinkles decrease and superficial wrinkles disappear, dark circles and puffiness under the eyes disappear, pigment spots lighten and vascular network disappears, the skin becomes moisturized and healthy in appearance. In addition, you can carry out mesotherapy for hair and body; the features of their implementation are described on our website (Read the articles: Mesotherapy for hair, Mesotherapy for weight loss).

Disadvantages of dmae

The main “disadvantage” is that this procedure is very painful. However, experts do not recommend using anesthesia, because it has a detrimental effect on the effectiveness of the procedure. The discomfort in this case is comparable to the unpleasant sensations during injections of vitamin B. The injections go very quickly, and mesotherapy takes an average of ten to fifteen minutes. A burning sensation occurs every time the needle comes into contact with the skin. In addition, there is a risk that the specialist will accidentally damage the tissue. Therefore, the procedure must be performed by an experienced, highly qualified cosmetologist. If you are afraid of discomfort and pain, then you can simply use a special dmae cream.

Indications and contraindications

The procedure helps to cope with a number of cosmetic problems:

dark spots;
scarring;
increased dryness of the skin;
defects left after peeling, botulinum toxin and other cosmetic procedures;
bags under the eyes;
double chin;
decreased tone and sagging skin;
wrinkles;
asymmetry of the contours of the face or lips;
skin inflammation.

This procedure has no age restrictions, so it can even be used for preventive purposes to stabilize the functioning of the sebaceous glands.

Although dimethylaminoethanol is a natural substance, there are people who are undesirable to use Dmae mesotherapy . These include:

patients with diabetes mellitus;
have had a heart attack or stroke;
HIV-infected;
nursing and pregnant women;
cancer patients;
people who have low immunity;
patients with individual intolerance to the Dmae drug.

Before mesotherapy, you should definitely consult a specialist.

Facial mesotherapy: indications

The mesotherapy method is recommended for use in the following cases:

• in the presence of obvious signs of premature aging (photoaging);

• in case of sagging nasolabial folds and furrows near the mouth;

• with the appearance of deep wrinkles and darkening of the skin;

• when dark circles appear under the eyes;

• in case of formation of age spots;

• with a tendency to the appearance of freckles and spider veins;

• with closely located vessels;

• in the presence of scars of various origins: atrophic, hypertrophic, postoperative, keloid and post-acne.

The method of facial mesotherapy is widely used in the pre- and postoperative periods. It is often combined with other procedures - chemical peels, dermabrasion and laser resurfacing.

Applications

Some comsetologists use capsules, others prefer ampoules. In any case, regular use of dimethylaminoethanol can be dangerous because it accelerates muscle growth. This substance helps break down lethicin in the body and helps remove toxins from it.

As for drugs, the most popular ones include Complex Plus, Mesoderm and Kosmo Teros. These mixtures are aimed at deep lifting and increasing the elasticity of the skin.

For injections of highly concentrated dimethylaminoethanol, cosmetologists use ordinary saline solution. This is due to several reasons. Firstly, pain and discomfort with this approach are significantly reduced. Secondly, saline solution prevents bruising and swelling. The cost of the procedure depends on the ingredients of the “Dmae-cocktail” and averages four to five thousand rubles.

What it is?

Mesotherapy in general is the process of introducing special nutritional cocktails into the deep layers of the dermis. There, these substances compensate for the lack of endogenous components and help accelerate cell regeneration. Mesolifting is a variation of this technique. This is the same mesotherapy, but aimed at tightening the skin.

To not only nourish the skin, but also tighten it, special formulations are used. At our center, injections include:

Hyaluronic acid. Attracts and holds water. Directly involved in the synthesis of collagen and elastin. Creates an optimal environment for metabolic processes (removal of free radicals, absorption of nutrients).
Amino acid complex. They compensate for the lack of elements important for collagen and elastin formation.
Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE, DMAE). Antioxidant. Promotes the removal of decay products and better absorption of nutrients by cells. Stabilizes cell membranes.

Stages of the procedure and possible problems

The DMAE procedure involves several stages:

To begin with, the specialist prepares the skin. For this purpose, he wipes his face with antiseptic solutions and tonics. This is necessary to prevent infection.
After this, the facial skin is treated with compounds containing lidocaine.
The doctor then injects the drug Dmae with a thin needle. This is done manually, since the facial structure of each person is individual, therefore the use of equipment may be unsafe or ineffective.
After the procedure, the cosmetologist treats the skin with moisturizing and anti-inflammatory mixtures.

Complications may arise due to the fact that during mesotherapy with Dmae, muscle and skin injury occurs. The most common problems include spider veins, bruising, swelling, burning, bruising and redness. Such complications go away on their own after a few hours.

If the procedure is performed by an inexperienced specialist, then an infection may get into the skin. In addition, after injections, allergies may occur, manifested in the form of itching, rash and swelling. In any case, you must immediately inform a specialist about this and begin therapy.

During the rehabilitation period, cosmetologists advise adhering to the following recommendations:

Avoid exposing your face to sunlight. Use sunscreen and avoid baths and saunas for a while.
Swelling and burning can be relieved exclusively with cold compresses. Doctors advise using chamomile decoctions.
Stop using anticoagulants.
As for cosmetics, it is better to avoid using aggressive peelings, scrubs, etc.
After mesotherapy, you should not comb or massage your face.
Protect yourself from hot baths.
Minimize physical activity for a while.

Cream Dmae for face

Reviews of this product indicate that it is very effective . The drug has the same effect as mesotherapy, but it is much less profound. The cream helps increase the elasticity of the skin and normalize water balance. Experts say that Dmae cream can also smooth out facial contours and gradually get rid of fine wrinkles.

This cream can be used by people after twenty years of age to remove pigmentation and inflammation on the skin. In addition, it allows you to normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands. This vitamin-containing complex does not form an addiction to it and makes the skin healthy and shiny.

Of course, the use of Dmae preparations in mesotherapy is a colossal breakthrough in the cosmetology industry. However, remember that the procedure in question is uncomfortable and painful, and is quite expensive . Moreover, it is impossible to remain young forever - some changes in appearance that appear with age must be learned to be accepted.
