Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is a form of treatment that involves the delivery of active ingredients through direct injections into the skin.

The active ingredients of mesotherapy usually consist of natural substances such as hyaluronic acid, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to ensure better absorption of the skin. These ingredients provide the nutrients the skin needs and promote the regeneration of skin cells. Thus, mesotherapy increases the elasticity of the skin, reduces wrinkles, corrects the skin tone and supports the rejuvenation process.

I. Working Principle of Mesotherapy

One of the most basic principles of mesotherapy is the delivery of active substances to the deep layers of the skin. Thanks to these injections, the active ingredients, penetrating into the deeper layers of the skin, nourish the skin cells and trigger regeneration processes. This reduces wrinkles on the skin, increases elasticity and provides a youthful appearance.

Mesotherapy is performed with a thin and small injection needle. The active ingredients are injected directly into the skin at the injection points. This allows the ingredients to penetrate deeply into target areas on the skin. During the application, local anesthesia is usually applied and the patients’ discomfort is kept to a minimum.

II. Injection Techniques in Mesotherapy

Injection methods and techniques are important factors that affect the success of the treatment process and the comfort of the patient.

1. Needle Size and Length

vary depending on the treatment area and the intended injection depth. Generally, thinner needles are preferred in the facial areas, especially in sensitive areas, while thicker needles can be used in the treatment of hair loss. Experts make needle selection in line with the patient’s skin structure, tolerance and treatment goals.

2. Injection Techniques

• Nappage (Surface Injection)

In this technique, the active ingredients are injected into the skin by holding the needle at a depth close to the surface of the skin. Superficial injections are generally used in treatments aimed at skin regeneration and tightening. The angle of the needle and the speed of the injection are factors to be considered during administration.

• Point-to-Point

In this technique, the needle is directed deeper, under the skin layers. The needle is injected into certain points, allowing the active ingredients to reach deeper tissues. In the treatment of hair loss, this technique is used to direct the needle towards the hair follicles and inject vitamins into the scalp.

• Mesogun

Mesogun is a method of mesotherapy applied with an automatic injection device. Mesotherapy gun has a predetermined depth and a fast injection process. Mesogun provides precise control of the injection and can speed up the treatment process.

3. Anesthetics and Topical Numbing Creams

Mesotherapy injections can sometimes cause mild discomfort for patients. Therefore, in some cases, local anesthetic creams or topical numbing creams may be used. These creams help reduce pain and discomfort in the treatment area and provide a more comfortable experience for patients.
