Mesotherapy

One of the most popular techniques to rejuvenate the skin and eliminate the excess of fat is mesotherapy. It involves a series of injections of vitamins, hormones and enzymes that work at the level of the mesoderm by stimulating blood circulation and acting on the surrounding tissues.

What is mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is one of the most popular aesthetic body medicine procedures.

The goal of mesotherapy is to achieve complete revitalization of specific body areas. This effect is achieved bymicro-injections of pharmaceutical preparations, plant extracts and vitamins..

Once inside the body, these substances first induce lipolysis, which is the breakdown of fat cells responsible for local fat accumulations. The reduction of these fat accumulations can be performed in different areas of the body such as the abdomen, legs, arms or even the face.

More generally, depending on the ingredients that are part of the preparation and the area chosen, the effects that can be achieved are:

• Dissolution of wrinkles
• Reduction of cellulite
• Skin tone
• Treatment of alopecia

What substances are used for mesotherapy

Depending on the patient’s individual condition and desired goals, the mix of the mesotherapy preparation is different.
Among the main substances that are used are:

• Vitamins
• Minerals
• Vegetable extracts
• Hormones
• Vasodilators
• Antibiotics
• Antioxidants
• Hyaluronic acid
• Ammino acids
• Enzymes

How the treatment works

The mesotherapy process is usually structured in several sessions, the number of which varies.

During each session, the doctor proceeds with different injections into the areas that you want to treat.

The depth of the injections is variable depending on the goals of the therapy itself. Generally, it is between 1 and 4 millimeters.

Also the preparation is customized specifically for the patient..

The procedure is completely non invasive, and most patients return to their daily routines immediately after treatment. A day or two off from tiring physical activities may be necessary.

Each session should be spaced from the next by at least 7 days.

After each session it is important to observe the doctor’s instructions to ensure the success of the therapy.

What instrument is used

At the Cellin Beauty Clinic, the most appropriate instruments are used for each treatment.

In the mesotherapy case, the instrument of choice is named “ULTIM,” a gun marketed by “AMS” capable of injecting the right concentration of dose at the correct depth. 

Its operating principle is faithful to that of the founder of the therapy itself, Michel Pistor.

In addition to mesotherapy, it can also be used for carboxytherapy to the face or to the body and for filler applications such as that to the chin, to the gluteus or to the nose.

Side effects of mesotherapy

Similar to most aesthetic procedures, there can be some side effects here as well.  Among the main ones are:

• Skin swelling
• Hypersensitivity
• Itching
• Sensation of heat
• Nausea
• Vomiting

In almost all cases, the onset of these effects should not be a cause for concern as the side effects are typically temporary and disappear within a few days.
