The desire for youth and beauty is quite natural for women. This is not just a whim or a tribute to fashion. Beautiful, young and well-groomed skin is part of a successful image. Therefore, many ladies are ready to spend huge amounts of money in beauty salons and clinics. Meanwhile, some salon procedures can be easily performed at home. One of these is mesotherapy. It is enough to purchase a special mesoscooter and delivery of the caring serum to the deep layers of the skin will become easier. Ours will help you choose a high-quality mesoscooter.
What is a mesoscooter
This device is a small roller covered with needles. The length of the needles ranges from 0.2 to 3 mm. They can be made from precious metals or surgical steel. To make it more convenient to work with the roller, it is attached to a special handle.
This device is used to improve the health of the skin or for treatment. The size of the needles is determined by the area of the body on which the device will be used. With this mesoscooter you can carry out procedures in the salon or yourself at home.
Operating principle
The essence of using a mesoscooter is that the needles leave microscopic punctures on the surface of the skin. The area around the eyes is treated with a separate device. Different mesoscooters are also used for the body and face.
As a result of microtraumas, regeneration processes in the body are activated, cells are renewed faster and the skin is rejuvenated. As a result of this treatment, a new capillary network is formed, blood flows to the tissues with renewed vigor, and is saturated with oxygen and nutrients. The synthesis of fibroblasts is enhanced, collagen and elastin fibers are formed faster. The skin is tightened, thickened and smoothed. There is a gradual reduction in pores and a decrease in the number of wrinkles. Natural hydration is activated.
After numerous punctures, the functioning of nerve endings improves and enzymatic activity increases. The effectiveness of using cosmetics together with treatment with a mesoscooter improves several times.
Determining the required needle length
Mesoscooters for leather treatment come in different types. They differ in size and number of needles. When purchasing a device, it is important to choose the right needle size so that use is as effective as possible.
Devices with short needles up to 0.3 mm can be used for independent procedures. Rollers with needles up to 0.75 mm are used in beauty salons. Cosmetologists with a medical diploma have the right to use them. Dermarollers with needles 1-3 mm long are used only by cosmetologists with higher medical education. The procedure with such mesoscooters is quite painful. Therefore, local anesthesia is used.
Devices with needles up to 0.3 mm are suitable for treating the area around the eyes. With their help, you can remove small irregularities, smooth out fine wrinkles, improve the skin's health and improve the absorption of cosmetics.
Mesoscooters with 0.5 mm needles can also be used on the skin around the eyes and throughout the face. Such a device will eliminate light scars, get rid of acne marks, and tighten the oval of the face.
Rollers with 0.75 mm needles are suitable for facial skin with the exception of the eyelid area. They also improve the absorption of cosmetic preparations, smooth out facial wrinkles, strengthen the skin and remove other defects.
Devices with 1-1.5 mm needles are suitable for eliminating pronounced scars, reducing pore size, and tightening the contours of the face and chin.
Mesoscooters with 2-3 mm needles are used only for body treatment. They help remove stretch marks and eliminate cellulite.
When choosing a mesoscooter yourself, it is recommended to first consult with a cosmetologist, discuss with him the existing problems with your face, and then buy and make a purchase.
Indications
Indications for skin treatment with a mesoscooter:
- postoperative scars;
- acne scars;
- age-related sagging skin;
- crow's feet around the eyes;
- spots on the skin - age or from the sun;
- dryness and flaking;
- dullness of complexion.

The device is not suitable for getting rid of cellulite and treating acne.
Instructions for use
For home therapy, as a rule, needles of the following sizes are selected:
- size 0.5 mm - for the face,
- 0.2 mm - under the eyes,
- 1 mm - for the whole body.
Step 1: initial treatment and disinfection of the device
As you know, any device that comes into contact with skin and blood needs thorough disinfection. Therefore, at the first stage it is necessary to prepare the mesoscooter for the procedure.
You can use several options for disinfecting the device:
- treat the dermaroller with hydrogen peroxide (6-8%);
- dip into QuickDes or Bacillol solution;
- immerse for 5 minutes in 80-90% alcohol;
- soak the mesoscooter in chlorhexidine.
Be sure to rinse the dermaroller under running water after each use.
According to the rules, after disinfection, the mesoscooter is dried and placed in a special box.
Step 2: Skin Treatment
After disinfecting the device, the skin must also be treated. To begin with, makeup is removed, toner and any disinfectant are applied. Then you need to wait until the skin is completely dry. It is undesirable for particles of the disinfectant to get under the skin.
Step 3: choosing a drug
At the third stage, the question becomes: what can you use a mesoscooter with to carry out facial procedures at home.
The most common option is the use of ready-made meso cocktails. The “Lora Mesoeffect” serum from the Evalar company could not be more suitable.
You can also use monopreparations, that is, ampoule products that contain one component, for example, hyaluronic or ascorbic acid, vitamins E, B, A, collagen, extracts of various plants.
We provide several options for applying the product:
- The first layer of the drug is applied to the skin, after which the procedure itself is performed with a dermaroller, then the second layer of the drug is applied;
- You can simply apply the product and treat the area with a dermaroller without reapplying it;
- You can first use the mesoscooter and then apply the product.
Step 4: working with the device in areas of the face and body
At the fourth stage, we will consider how to correctly perform the procedure with a mesoscooter at home.
- First, you need to divide your face into zones: cheeks, forehead, nose, eye area and décolleté.
- You should go over each of them with a dermaroller 10 times (5 vertical movements and 5 horizontal ones). And 10 times diagonally.
- Do not put too much pressure on the roller: movements should be smooth and easy.
- Treat the area around the eyes with a separate roller with a number of needles not exceeding 200 pieces.
- The movement of the mesoscooter begins from the outer corner of the eye to the nose (inner corner). For this area, only this direction applies; it cannot be changed. This rolling should be done 10 times.
- It is recommended to start the procedure from the forehead. Next, move to the left cheek - then massage the right. Go to the eye area and then to the nose. Next, work on the nasolabial folds and finish with the chin area.
- It is worth remembering that using a roller on a moving eyelid is prohibited!

Watch the video from which you will learn about the correct operation of the roller:
It is according to this scheme that it is better to carry out the procedure. For the reason that this technology helps to evenly distribute blood flow throughout the face.
Step 5: Post-Procedure Care
At the end of the procedure, apply a moisturizer or mask to the treated area to help soothe the skin.
After the session, the skin will look red and swollen, in this case this is normal. Also, I would like to mention that you should not apply cosmetics to hide the marks of the mesoscooter!
Step 6: finishing and disinfection of the device
After all manipulations with the device, it must be washed and disinfected, as described at the beginning of the instructions (see step No. 1).
Remember that a dermaroller is a purely personal (individual) device and it is prohibited to use it collectively!
By choosing a mesoscooter for home skin care, you will get rid of many problems: dullness, wrinkles, dull color and other skin defects. But if you prefer such procedures, do not forget to first consult with a specialist.
About the choice of serums for mesoscooters -
Any mesopreparations designed specifically for fractional mesotherapy are made only from low molecular weight components so that they can penetrate the skin. Those. in fact, these products differ little in the composition of active ingredients from conventional cosmetics for rejuvenation. Low-molecular components are significantly inferior to high-molecular components (for example, high-molecular hyaluronic acid, DNA-RNA complexes) in terms of the strength of their rejuvenating effect on the skin.
High molecular weight active substances can only be injected into the dermis. High molecular weight HA is able to saturate the dermis with moisture as much as possible and improve the condition of the skin. In addition, it remains in tissues longer (up to 3-4 weeks, if it is partially stabilized, i.e. “cross-linked”), and low molecular weight is destroyed in just about 24 hours. At the same time, low molecular weight HA is not particularly capable of retaining moisture in the dermis - due to too short chains of molecules, and basically it stimulates only angiogenesis and the healing of skin damage.
As for the most effective anti-aging components, they are all predominantly high-molecular (with the exception of some peptides). High molecular weight HA and DNA-RNA complexes are most often used in rejuvenation procedures. It is these products that are used in skin biorevitalization procedures, i.e. in injection mesotherapy. A good but short-term lifting effect can be provided by a component such as DMAE (dimethylethanolamine). Effective concentrations of this component are 2.5-3.0%, but again, at such concentrations, DMAE is present only in preparations for injection.
Considering all this, you should not count on a special anti-aging effect from serums for mesorollers based on low-molecular components, and therefore you should not buy too expensive drugs. But if you make a choice between drugs, then it is better to choose mesopreparations produced by professional companies specializing in this, and not random Russian temporary companies in this market who take on something only when they sense a demand. We will probably surprise you, but there are products much stronger than serums and meso-cocktails for use with mesoscooters, but to know about them, you need to study independent clinical studies.
What drugs work best in combination with mesoscooters?
There are many clinical studies that confirm that the maximum effect from mesoscooters is achieved when using either products with a stabilized L-form of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) or with retinoids. Retinoids refer to various forms of vitamin A, of which there are a very large number. But we immediately warn you that it is pointless to use such forms of vitamin A as retinol acetate or retinol palmitate. The latter are practically not converted in the skin into the active form of vitamin A.
Active forms of vitamin A (in descending order of effectiveness) –
- retinoic acid (Tretinoin),
- 13 cis-retinoic acid (Isotretinoin),
- retinaldehyde,
- pure retinol.
The best option would be to use the indicated forms of vitamins A or C - at least 1 month before the first procedure of using the mesoscooter. Moreover, if you do procedures in the spring or summer, it is better to use products containing 10-15% pure stabilized L-ascorbic acid (this can be a cream or serum), and if in the fall or winter - creams with retinoids. These products should be used as a course, and not applied before the procedure. In the article above, we have already provided links to reviews of similar products on the Russian market.
Below I will give you an example of highly effective preparations with vitamin C and vitamin A (pure retinol), which I, as the author of the article, usually recommend to my patients. This is the American brand “SkinCeuticals”, which, unfortunately, does not have an affordable price. For example, the most budget serum “Serum 10”, containing 10% L-ascorbic acid, will cost about 6,500 rubles (for 30 ml). But these products really work on aging skin.
At the same time, if you use cosmetics with retinol and vitamin C at the stage of preparation for fractional mesotherapy (duration of at least a month), then directly during the procedure you can use a solution of the L-form of vitamin C, which is used for injection mesotherapy. For example, this could be the drug VitaLine® from Mesopharm, which contains 20% L-ascorbic acid (a 5 ml bottle costs only 200 rubles) or similar drugs from other companies.
Just keep in mind that the serum cannot be mixed with anything else, plus every 1-2 procedures it is better to use a new bottle, because the entry of air into it leads to the gradual inactivation of vitamin C. In addition, pharmacy versions of L-ascorbic acid will not suit you; here you need drugs that are produced specifically for mesotherapy.

All mesotherapy products are divided into concentrates and cocktails. Concentrates consist of one substance and have a selective purpose, that is, they help solve one skin problem.
Hyaluronic or ascorbic acid, silicon, gingko biloba, collagen, and centella asiatica are usually used as a concentrate.
You can choose a serum with peptides Evalar Laura or Lifting with oligopeptides. Contains silk amino acids, rose oil, vitamins. Cost - 680 rubles.
Cocktails contain from 50 components. They are sold ready-made or prepared before the procedure in a beauty salon. It is not recommended to make a cocktail at home, as it can harm your skin .
Useful tips
Choosing the right mesoscooter is not a difficult task. The main condition is to determine the therapy zone. The device is suitable for any area of the face and body. To make the procedure more comfortable, select the optimal width of the roller. Before purchasing, we recommend that you consult with your doctor.

How do mesoscooters differ from each other?
In order to choose the mesoscooter that best suits your criteria, you need to know how they differ.
Needle material
This is their first and most important difference. The alloys used are: medical alloy, titanium plating, gold plating. Medical alloy needles are cheaper than needles coated with titanium or gold. This is their advantage. The disadvantage is that they quickly become dull. But titanium or gold needles will last longer. Titanium is also non-allergenic.

Number of needles
When choosing a mesoscooter, check how many needles are on the drum. 35 and up to 180 needles per ram are intended for treating the eyes and nose. 192, 200, 360 and 540 needles - for facial treatment. And more, i.e. up to 1080 needles – for body treatment.
Drum
There are mesoscooters that have a removable ram. This is convenient and economical, because the working part often breaks, and if it is removable, it can be replaced and save money on buying a new roller.
Mesoscooters by type of drums
- Drums made of plastic discs with soldered needles. Suitable for home use, area of application: face, body.
- Drums, where the needles are soldered into a transverse plate and collected into a roller. These mesoscooters are suitable for professional and home care and can be used in any area.
- Drums without joining seams. Aesthetically beautiful and economical models. The cosmetic product will reach the skin up to 95% without losing most of it in the seams of the drum.
Before each use, as well as after use, the device must be cleaned with disinfectants, so it is better to choose one that is easy to disassemble and assemble.
How does a mesoscooter work?
The main function of the mesoscooter is to tingle or puncture the skin, which ensures faster delivery of healing compounds into the dermal cells that are necessary for skin care, both the face and other parts of the body. In addition, the action of needles and medications help to activate metabolic processes in the skin, which, according to reviews from cosmetologists, allows you to get rid of a number of skin problems yourself at home.
By having a piercing effect on the skin, the mesoscooter stimulates blood microcirculation in it and restores weakened connective tissue fibers containing collagen and elastin. Tingling sensations of varying degrees irritate the cells of the dermis, activating their activity. Thus, the device initiates the internal process of formation of new collagen.
By acting on the facial skin, the “spiky” roller provides a lifting effect, launching a natural rejuvenation program. Mesotherapy involves the use of therapeutic and cosmetic cocktails; the use of a dermoroller enhances the effect of these drugs several times.
How does a mesoscooter work?
Rotation of a standard mesoscooter with 192 needles over the surface of the skin 15 times leads to the formation of about 250 holes per cm2. Microneedles cause microtraumas to the skin, the depth of which will depend on the length of the mesoscooter needles. Microtraumas lead to minimal superficial bleeding from the injection sites and trigger the process of skin regeneration, accompanied by the release of a large number of different growth factors. For example, platelet-derived growth factor (PGF), TGF-α and TGF-β factors, and connective tissue and fibroblast growth factor (FGF).
Treatment of the skin with needles leads to focal destruction of connective tissue fibers and the intercellular matrix, which causes the migration of fibroblasts to areas of damage, their proliferation (division), the processes of laying the intercellular matrix, the process of formation of new vessels, as well as neocollagenogenesis - the process of formation of new collagen (1, 3 and 7 types). The fibronectin matrix is formed approximately 5 days after injury, and ensures the attachment of newly formed collagen fibers to the extracellular matrix. Histological examination of skin treated with a mesoscooter 4 times with an interval of 1 month showed a significant increase in collagen deposition even 6 months after the end of the last procedure (source).
When treating scars and scars, the mesoscooter needles first destroy the fibers of dense fibrous connective tissue, triggering revascularization processes in them, i.e. formation of blood vessels. The emerging bundles of collagen fibers already have a normal lattice pattern, and do not represent parallel bundles (as is typical for scar tissue fibers). But there are other interesting effects (24stoma.ru). For example, trauma to the dermal matrix leads to the release of enzymes - matrix metalloproteinases, which reduces skin hyperpigmentation.
Needle length
The correct choice of needle length is the first thing you need to take care of when choosing a mesoscooter. There is a common belief that the longer the needles, the better they are. It is incorrect. For beginners in this procedure, small sizes from those suggested below are more suitable:
For the face - from 0.3 to 0.5 millimeters. For the body - from 0.5 to 1.5 millimeters. For hair - from 0.5 to 1 millimeters. If the facial skin is thin with dilated blood vessels (rosacea) - from 0.3 to 0.5 millimeters (for this type of skin, models with laser sharpening are preferred: these are Gold Elite and DNS London) Professional mesoscooters used in the salon by a cosmetologist have needle lengths from 0. 5 to 2 millimeters.

Why is a mesoscooter used in dermatology and cosmetology?
It all depends on what skin problems you want to solve first. Thus, a mesoscooter with shortened needles improves blood flow and rapid absorption of active cosmetic compositions. This allows you to solve the problem of increasing skin tone and getting rid of shallow nasolabial folds.
A mesoscooter with medium-length needles is recommended for those with thick, oily skin. It will improve the tone of the epidermis and remove tiny wrinkles.
A mesoscooter with elongated spikes smooths out keloid scars, removes post-acne, revitalizes dull skin, makes it smooth and rejuvenated.
We invite you to read: Write down for which injections the needles are used
What to look for when buying a mesoscooter?
Width. The narrowest models are intended for nasolabial folds and the area near the eyes, standard (about 2 cm) - for the face and scalp, wide (about 4 cm) - for the body.
Needle length A drum with 0.2 mm needles is considered the most optimal for the face. A device with such attachments can be used to treat the skin of the face and the delicate area around the eyes. It should be remembered that needles shorter than 0.5 mm do not penetrate deep enough into the skin; such therapy is not effective in combating wrinkles, because
Needle material If you want the device to serve you for a long time, choose mesoscooters with needles coated with gold and titanium alloy. Moreover, titanium is a hypoallergenic alloy and does not cause irritation.
Pen. Despite the fact that the mesotherapy procedure itself is quite fast, the uncomfortable handle can cause your hand to get tired, so a comfortable ergonomic shape will always come in handy. And, say, a non-slip relief coating will create additional comfort during the procedure.
A mesoscooter or dermaroller is a cosmetic instrument in the form of a needle roller mounted on a plastic handle. Its roller is covered with many thin microneedles, for the production of which medical steel is used, sometimes with titanium coating, gold or silver plating. A facial mesoscooter is usually equipped with needles 0.2–0.5 mm long. Such models are safe to use even at home.
The effect of rolling such devices is based on the principles of acupuncture, triggering the natural mechanisms of skin restoration, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. When a needle roller is rolled over the surface of the face or other part of the body, microchannels are formed in the dermis. They allow beneficial substances from preparations applied to the skin to freely penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin. But you can use a dermaroller without additional application of serums, lotions or meso-cocktails.
Carolina, cosmetologist. Depending on the clinical picture, in my practice I used facial rollers with needle lengths from 0.5 to 2 mm. But if you choose a tool for home use, the maximum needle length is limited to 0.5 mm. I do not recommend using more “serious” devices at home.
Marina, cosmetologist and esthetician. In our salon, various techniques are used to solve skin problems, and it is possible to visually compare them in terms of effectiveness. Based on my experience, I can say that the effect of using a roller dermaroller is comparable to the results after performing superficial mesotherapy.
But in order to quickly get a noticeable effect, it is important to choose the right drug used in conjunction with the roller. Mesoroller products come with an emphasis on cell nutrition, moisturizing, whitening, tissue regeneration, rejuvenation, enhancing hair growth and intended for other purposes. Therefore, the possibilities of using roller mesotherapy are very wide.
Evgenia Igorevna, physiotherapist, cosmetologist. If you are planning to buy a mesoscooter for the face and use it at home, choose models with steel or titanium needles 0.3–0.5 mm long, medium width, preferably with diamond sharpening. If you have sensitive skin, it makes sense to choose a dermaroller coated in silver or gold. And, of course, choose products from trusted brands.
A mesoscooter for medical and cosmetic purposes is used with needles from 0.5 to 2.5 mm long, using local anesthesia. A device with this type of needle can only be used by experienced specialists, as there is a high probability of damaging the basement membrane if used incorrectly.
Scars on the skin
Using a dermaroller allows you to eliminate mechanical damage to the skin and acne scars. The device is suitable for all types and types of dermis and has advantages compared to other cosmetic products due to its low price, availability and ease of use. A mesoscooter with small needles can be used even in the area around the eyes where peeling and laser cannot be used.
Scars are removed with a mesoscooter
Revitalization (rejuvenation)
The device is often used for anti-aging therapy due to its minimization of skin damage, low cost and lack of rehabilitation. The process consists of reducing wrinkles in problem areas: around the eyes, décolleté, and hands. The effect of skin tightening appears, a clear oval of the face is acquired, pores are narrowed and pigmentation is eliminated.
With this device you can achieve the launch of the revitalization process in the body
Hair restoration
Stimulation of the top layer of the scalp improves blood circulation, which helps reduce pathological hair loss and helps start the process of new hair growth. Used together with drugs to improve the vital activity of the scalp to guarantee quick results.
Tissue lifting and cellulite removal
Through needle therapy, the massager stretches the skin, removing cellulite, stretch marks, and removing toxins. The process allows you to activate the production of collagen, which triggers the effect of eliminating damage in the subcutaneous layer.
Mesoscooter fights cellulite
After conducting research and collecting all the information about reviews from cosmetologists, we can draw the following conclusion.
Beauty experts have a mixed attitude towards dermarollers. Some people often use this device at work, advertising it even more. Others, on the contrary, rarely offer this service to patients or completely exclude the device from their work, offering instead other effective methods and devices, arguing for high efficiency and long-term experience in use.
Not all experts recommend dermaroller
In any case, each method of combating age-related changes, healing and eliminating damage to the dermis can have different effects on human skin. After all, each organism and all its reactions are purely individual, and the same problem, when using the same devices and medications, will cause an allergic reaction in some, while in others it will produce a better effect in a short time.
You should first consult with a dermatologist if you want to use a mesoscooter.
Inna, Tolyatti
“I’ve been using the mesoscooter at home for a long time, I like the effect. Of course, it is difficult to achieve the same result as from injection mesotherapy in the clinic, but there is still an effect - wrinkles are smoothed out, the skin looks more fresh. Before using it, I consulted with a doctor about how to do everything correctly and what products to use, so I’m not worried. I recommend!”

“A cosmetologist recommended a mesoscooter to me and said that I could fix many problems myself with it. At first there was no effect, I was upset, I thought it was all nonsense. Then it turned out that I was simply using the mesoscooter incorrectly. I also chose the wrong remedy. The doctor explained everything to me, after a week of use I began to notice the effect. I found no side effects. I will try further."

Types and models
There is a wide range of mesoscooters on the cosmetics and tools market. To choose the right option, you should know how they differ from each other and why there are so many different models. Differences by manufacturing company. The most popular rollers are from the Korean company Genosys. The manufacturer offers a large selection of different models for the face. Separately, there are options for processing the wings of the nose.
The original rollers of the English company DNS are of high quality and the same high price. The company sells replacement rollers, which significantly reduces the cost of purchasing a new device after its expiration date. And also the unique structure of the roller does not allow liquid to penetrate inside.
A large number of Chinese branded and counterfeit models are sold online. Prices are much lower, but there is no guarantee of product quality.

Mesoscooters for the face differ in the number of needles and their rows on the roller. The length of needles for home use should not exceed 0.5 mm. Longer needles can cause unpleasant consequences. Therefore, official manufacturers sell professional models only after providing documents indicating the buyer’s medical education and the classification of a cosmetologist-dermatologist. Treatment of the skin of the eyelids and near the eyes is carried out with needles no longer than 0.3 mm and the number of needles should be up to 92 pieces. For other areas of the face, needles up to 0.5 mm are used. Their number varies from 180 to 540. When purchasing, you should also pay attention to such details as: Packaging. Must be convenient for safe transportation of the roller. The thickness of the needles. For home procedures, needles no thicker than 0.2 mm are used. The material from which the needles are made. Titanium needles will last the entire service life. Spraying of noble metals will reduce the risk of allergies and inflammation. Steel needles bend easily.
Differences in drum size
Narrow and wide mesoscooters differ in the size of the drum. Narrow mesoscooters are used for sensitive areas of the face - the nasolabial area and eyes, the number of needles varies from 80 to 180 pieces. Help eliminate problems of puffiness and bags under the eyes, loss of tone, dryness, pigmentation, wrinkles.
With the help of wide mesoscooters, large areas of the body are worked out. They have an increased number and length of microneedles. The number of needles reaches 1200 pieces, the length of the needles is up to 2 mm.
Advantages of wide mesoscooters
- Makes the skin firm and elastic.
- Eliminate cellulite.
- Fights fat deposits.
- The skin becomes smooth and tightened.
Algorithm for working at home
To achieve the effect of a salon procedure, you can follow the following algorithm of actions.
The mesoscooter should be soaked in alcohol for several minutes. The face is thoroughly cleansed of all cosmetics. Using cotton pads or special sponges, remove excess moisture. The selected mask is applied. Usually you need to give the mask time to absorb. This is no more than 20 minutes. Excess mask is removed with a sponge. Apply a concentrate or cocktail to the areas using a face brush. Each zone is treated with a roller. For example, if we cover our forehead with a cocktail, we immediately connect the mesoscooter. The roller should be moved vertically, horizontally or diagonally. There is no need to put extra effort or press on the roller. The length and thickness of the needles are sufficient to achieve the effect. Work with caution in the area of the temples and around the eyes. The whiskey is processed using vertical movements. Under the eyes - in the direction from the outer corner of the eye to the nose. The sequence of actions is as follows: forehead-cheek-temple-cheek-temple-under the eyes-nose-chin.

Experts' opinion
For those who are concerned about the topic of whether it is worth purchasing at all and which mesoscooter to choose for the face, we present reviews of professional cosmetologists.
Elena Sitnikova, doctor, cosmetologist
The effect of using a mesoscooter is similar to mesotherapy with proper selection of medications for the roller. To achieve a positive result, 5 procedures are prescribed once a week .
The procedure for the nasolabial triangle and décolleté area has a good effect.
A mesoscooter is not suitable for everyone when removing stretch marks. It is effective in eliminating fine white streaks.
Marina Baranova, dermatologist and cosmetologist
When rolling the roller, the skin is pierced, and at the same time blood microcirculation increases. At this point, medicinal and cosmetic products are introduced. Serious procedures require pain relief, which is only possible in a specialized salon.
The procedure takes no more than an hour . One procedure is not enough, but even after the first session, a change in complexion becomes noticeable, visible lifting and smoothing of wrinkles is achieved.
A mesoscooter is an individual device. After the end of the session cycle, we give it to the client.
You can buy a mesoscooter at a pharmacy and use it at home. But first consult with a cosmetologist and select the right nutrients.
Advantages of using a mesoscooter
The main advantages of using a dermaroller are:
- The ability to improve the condition of skin and hair in a relatively short time, give clarity to the contour of the face and eliminate existing defects.
- Visible results after the first sessions of roller mesotherapy.
- Safety and painlessness of use - provided that you use a high-quality device with sharp needles up to 0.5 mm long.
- Rapid skin restoration after the procedure - the resulting microchannels heal within a few hours.
- Preservation of the epidermis - the protective layer of the skin.
- Affordable cost – purchasing a mesoscooter and using it independently provides significant savings on cosmetologist services.
- Easy to use and store.
- Wide range of application possibilities - for better absorption of the products used, stimulation of hair growth, improvement of the condition of the skin and elimination of all kinds of defects.
Special preparations suitable for mesotherapy, for example, minoxidil, are used together with the dermaroller. It is unacceptable to use ordinary creams and masks as products for mesorollers. They are nonsterile, contain various artificial additives, and when they get deep into the dermis, they often cause inflammation and allergic reactions.
Contraindications and precautions
Despite its many advantages, the magic roller is not for everyone. The list of contraindications includes:
- the presence of moles and other benign formations;
- infectious and fungal skin diseases;
- acne, psoriasis, eczema, atopic dermatitis;
