Combination of injections and massages in the practice of a cosmetologist.

Various factors lead to skin problems: dirty air, improper home care, lack of sleep, unbalanced diet, etc.
As a result, many women and men complain of dryness, inflammation, swelling, wrinkles and folds. You can maintain skin health and eliminate imperfections using mesotherapy. This injection method of skin rejuvenation and transformation is good both separately and in combination - with other cosmetic procedures or after plastic surgery. It is effective for the prevention of aging, as well as a tool for combating age-related changes that have already appeared. Moscow offers a large selection of salons and centers where mesotherapy is performed. It is important that the procedure is performed by a doctor. Any injection method involves invading the skin, and without medical education it is extremely risky to carry out mesotherapy. The Medial Clinic invites you to undergo mesotherapy procedures from experienced cosmetologists with higher medical education. We have been working since 2002 and guarantee our patients the safety and effectiveness of all manipulations.

Her Majesty mesotherapy

The procedure has been popular for over 50 years. The main goal is the correction and prevention of age-related changes. The demand is explained by its proven effectiveness, safety, and availability. Mesotherapy is based on the introduction of microdoses of drugs under the skin. These are liquid cocktails that contain various substances; they may contain hyaluronic acid , as with biorevitalization, only the amount is much smaller. Advantages of injection rejuvenation:

• safe, non-toxic components in cocktails;
• minimal list of contraindications;
• painlessness;
• wide age range;
• lasting effect;
• combined with other cosmetic procedures.

Mesotherapy helps eliminate many aesthetic problems of the face, body, and hair without surgical intervention . After a course of treatment, the skin becomes elastic, tightened, wrinkles are smoothed out, microcirculation improves, and the production of its own collagen is activated.

There are drugs that awaken dormant hair follicles and restore the health of the scalp and hair. In addition to solving aesthetic problems, mesotherapy helps to get rid of some dermatological diseases: acne, acne, rosacea, etc.

Mesotherapy can be performed as part of a complex of cosmetic procedures or as a separate manipulation. It is permissible to combine biorevitalization and mesotherapy as 2 complementary procedures.

What is mesotherapy?

This is a method of combating age-related changes, based on injections of special drugs into problem areas. The procedure can be performed by injection or non-injection. The first option involves introducing special cocktails of vitamins and nutrients into the middle layer of the skin. Thanks to the thinnest needles, the solution is injected to a depth of up to 4 millimeters. This increases its effectiveness and in some aspects makes mesotherapy an alternative to surgery.

The non-injection route of the procedure is less popular among patients. This is explained by the fact that the effect is not so pronounced and disappears faster. During the session, the doctor applies the drug to the skin and treats it with a device. This gives beneficial substances the opportunity to penetrate deep into the dermis. The non-injection method is suitable for eliminating minor imperfections.

When is mesotherapy needed?

Due to the multicomponent nature of mesococktails, the procedure has many indications. It can be performed on the skin of the face , head, body to solve aesthetic problems and even lose weight. Mesotherapy will help solve the following problems:

Types of mesotherapy

Due to its high efficiency, the procedure acquired several variations in a relatively short period of time. They differ not only in medications, but also in methods and techniques for introducing cocktails under the skin. By type, mesotherapy is divided into invasive and non-invasive, that is, the introduction of substances with and without punctures.

Injection mesotherapy

It involves the subcutaneous administration of drugs with the thinnest needles. The cosmetologist makes punctures according to the chosen technique: nappage, papular, “prick by prick”, etc. Injection mesotherapy is carried out manually and using hardware methods. In the first case, the cosmetologist uses a syringe with a needle to manually treat the required area, even the most sensitive one. In this way, you can carefully and delicately treat the areas around the eyes, mouth, and nasolabial folds.

The second method uses automatic injectors (pistols) that quickly treat a large area of ​​skin. The device controls the dosage and the exact depth of injection. It will not work on areas with thin skin, so the method is suitable for manipulating the body, especially in the “orange peel” area. With the help of an injector, the duration of the procedure is reduced and the pain is less pronounced.

Non-invasive (needle-free) mesotherapy

The needle-free look is an alternative to the classic procedure, ideal for those who are afraid of injections but want to rejuvenate their skin . Cocktails or ready-made preparations are also used, but they are injected into the skin without the use of needles. Mesococktails are applied to the skin, and the active substances of the drug penetrate inside.

The cosmetologist selects the type of non-invasive mesotherapy individually:

• electroporation – penetration of drugs through the skin due to electrical impulses;
• magnetophoresis – exposure to low-frequency magnetic fields;
• iontophoresis - weak galvanic current discharges help substances enter the dermis, as well as improve microcirculation and metabolism;
• oxygen mesotherapy – targeted driving of a cocktail with a powerful stream of pure oxygen;
• laser mesotherapy - under the influence of a laser beam, the skin quickly absorbs hyaluronic acid and other components of cocktails.

To enhance the effect, peeling is often carried out before the procedure to cleanse the skin and pores. Unlike injection mesotherapy, more sessions will be required to obtain a lasting result from a non-invasive procedure.

With non-invasive mesotherapy, there is no rehabilitation period and no special care is needed, since the skin has not been injected.

Drugs

Depending on the specifics of the treated area - scalp, facial tissues, other areas of the body, expected action and initial condition, the cosmetologist individually selects the components for the mesotherapy cocktail. Compositions for fractional administration differ in origin and mechanism of action, among the most popular it is necessary to highlight:

• synthesized components - injectable preparations obtained artificially, for example, hyaluronic acid;
• plant extracts – have a mild effect and are absolutely safe for humans;
• ingredients of animal origin - elastin, collagen, which restores lost elasticity and youth;
• vitamin supplements – vitamins B, C, U, A, P have antioxidant properties and significantly improve skin condition;
• minerals - phosphorus, magnesium, selenium and other trace elements are selected depending on specific tasks;
• acids of organic origin – accelerate the process of cellular regeneration, have a peeling effect;
• medicinal products - designed to solve specific diseases, pathologies, prescribed by a salon beauty expert based on individual indicators.

The cosmetologist conducts a thorough examination of the skin, finds out during the consultation what defects the client wants to get rid of, only after that it becomes clear that it is better to inject. The ingredients of the meso cocktail are selected based on the results of the consultation, as well as taking into account age and other features - wrinkles, age spots, post-acne, etc.

Anti-aging products

The effect depends on the selected drug, but is also directly related to the manipulation. Many microtraumas appear at the injection site, which triggers the synthesis of one’s own collagen and elastin. As a result, complexion, microcirculation, metabolic processes improve, and skin elasticity increases.

The components for meso-cocktails are selected individually, taking into account the condition of the skin and its main problems. Based on the principle of action, drugs are divided into several groups:

1. Vitamins – necessary for nourishing the skin and improving hair condition .
2. Lipolitics – break down fat cells.
3. Vascular - normalize metabolic processes, blood flow, and the condition of the dermis.
4. Lifting – help increase tone , firmness, and elasticity.

Taking into account the drugs used, allopathic and homeopathic mesotherapy are distinguished. In the first case, the cocktails include medicinal and artificially created components:

• minerals;
• vitamins A, E, B, C;
• organic acids;
• medications;
• fat-breaking substances;
• hyaluronic acid, etc.

Homeopathic cocktails are of plant origin, so their advantage is their naturalness (aloe vera, guarana, artichoke, etc.).

Cost of mesotherapy

How much mesotherapy costs in Moscow depends on the drugs used by the cosmetologist. On average, the price of a procedure at the Medial clinic is 4,450 rubles. Also, the cost of mesotherapy may increase if the injection procedure is combined with the use of a TDES device to deliver beneficial substances to the deep layers of the skin.

Restrictions after mesotherapy

After the injection rejuvenation procedure, you must follow the recommendations for 3-5 days:

• do not visit the sauna, bathhouse, solarium;
• do not use decorative cosmetics;
• do not be under the scorching rays of the sun;
• refuse peeling, massage and other procedures with mechanical effects on the skin;

• do not drink alcoholic beverages;
• do not take drugs that affect blood clotting;
• In summer, apply sunscreen before going outside.

In the first days, it is recommended to wipe the skin with chlorhexidine and healing gels. If possible, avoid touching your face, especially with dirty hands, so as not to provoke inflammation.

Rehabilitation and possible complications

The principle of mesotherapy is based on the introduction of the drug into the deep layers of the dermis. Accordingly, minor trauma to the skin and tissues is inevitable. Recovery takes some time.

It is worth remembering the influence of the mesotherapy cocktail. Everything must be done to maximize the absorption of nutrients and eliminate factors that impede this. Neglecting prohibitions during the rehabilitation period is fraught with complications.

What not to do after facial mesotherapy

Doctors Telos Beauty prof. It is recommended to follow a number of rules to speed up recovery:

• Limiting physical activity. Exercising stimulates blood circulation. This means that water is retained in the facial tissues, redness and swelling increase. A number of useful components are excreted through sweat, and injection wounds heal more slowly due to overheating.
• Alcohol consumption. For regeneration, the condition of the vascular system and the general well-being of the patient are important. Alcoholic drinks and coffee negatively affect the body, contributing to the appearance of new bruises and irritation on the skin. Ignoring this requirement can lead to a delayed appearance of an allergic reaction and swelling.
• Contact of the treated skin area with other surfaces. Even light touches can trigger inflammation. For this reason, facial massage and peeling should be avoided until complete recovery. You should sleep on your back, avoiding skin contact with the pillow. Swimming in the pool and open water is also prohibited.
• Warming up the skin. Visiting a bathhouse, sauna, or solarium has a negative impact on the healing of microwounds. The likelihood of inflammation increases. In addition, beneficial substances are excreted through sweat.
• Ban on tanning. The temperature automatically rises due to prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Melatonin begins to be actively produced, creating a situation in which several mutually exclusive processes operate simultaneously in the dermis. This causes inflammation and dryness of the skin, redness and pigmentation. Until the skin has fully recovered, doctors strongly advise against sunbathing, either on the beach or in a solarium.
• Carrying out cosmetic procedures. In pursuit of an ideal appearance, patients often try to combine several rejuvenation techniques at once. Without waiting for the end of the rehabilitation period after mesotherapy, they risk losing the achieved results and encountering complications. Since the skin is irritated after injections, it is better not to aggravate the situation with peelings, hair removal, or ultrasound. You should also avoid decorative cosmetics - they can cause an allergic reaction.

Home mesotherapy

The procedure is carried out in cosmetology and medical centers. The invention of mesoscooters made it possible to do it at home to achieve skin rejuvenation. A mesoscooter is a small roller with numerous needles of various lengths and diameters. Some manufacturers sell devices directly with meso-cocktails.

When rolling the mesoscooter over the surface of the skin, micropunctures are formed, through which the components of serums and other cosmetics penetrate faster. Due to the smallest damage, microcirculation is enhanced and metabolic processes are improved. The mesoscooter is used not only for the face, but also for the body and scalp .

With constant use, the “orange peel” disappears; a light scalp massage enhances hair growth by awakening dormant hair follicles. Before using a mesoscooter, you should consult a cosmetologist, as there is a list of contraindications for its use.

If you read real reviews and study photos after the procedure, mesotherapy gives excellent results that last up to a year, and sometimes longer. The price depends on the area of ​​work, the number of injections, and the drugs used. The cost is also influenced by the qualifications of the specialist and the pricing policy of the medical or cosmetology center.

Fractional facial mesotherapy

This is micro-piercing of certain areas of the skin. The depth of penetration of the active substance directly depends on the size of the skin area, as well as on the individual thickness of the skin. Over time, smooth, young tissue appears at the puncture site.

After the first three sessions, the first effect becomes more noticeable; after five, the damaged areas of facial skin are completely regenerated. After mesotherapy of this type, slight swelling may appear, which is caused by individual sensitivity to the active substances of the medicinal drug. After the procedure, it is prohibited to apply any cosmetics to the face.
