Facial mesotherapy: drugs and reviews

Fractional mesotherapy is an apparatus technique for rejuvenating the skin of the face and body, involving the injection of microinjections under the skin, which can consist of vitamins, drugs and minerals. In the course of this process, microscopic puncturing of the skin surface is carried out, which makes up no more than 20% of the area of the problem area being treated. The puncture is made by a number of thinnest needles with a bevelled edge at a high rate at a shallow depth, which minimizes the traumatic nature of this procedure.

Principles of operation of the methodology

Fractional micro needle mesotherapy forms microinjection zones with a width of about three hundred microns and a depth of 0.5 to 4 millimeters. The penetration depth depends on the type of damage being treated and is established by the attending physician as a parameter of the computer program, since penetration into wrinkles or into craters post-acne, for example, is different, in order to obtain an optimal result. Fractional mesotherapy is used in the treatment of diseases such as:

- Wide pores;

- scars from post-acne rash;

- age-related gravitational ptosis in the neck, face or chin;

- pigmentary disorders (melasma, sun spots, age);

- thin skin with a mesh of wrinkles;

- scars after surgical and other operations;

- stria (stretch marks) after the period of pregnancy, weight loss or hormonal changes;

- Flabby skin covers of eyelids, neck, decollete, hands, etc.

Contraindications for use

Restrictions for this fairly fast, effective and painless procedure also exist. Fractional mesotherapy of a person whose reviews are predominantly positive is not performed if the patient undergoes chemical peeling less than two weeks before therapy, has atopic type dermatitis, is pregnant, suffers from epilepsy, herpes or psoriasis. In addition, the procedure is not prescribed for inflammatory processes in the area to be treated, and for colds accompanied by fever.

Due to what happens skin regeneration?

Fractional mesotherapy of the face and other parts of the body, in addition to transporting nutrients into the interior of the skin, also has a micro-traumatic effect on the tissues, which leads to their subsequent active regeneration. The site of the device's impact is a separate medical zones around which there are so-called "mobilization zones" (healthier skin), from which stem cells, which are the body's reserve, that will help the skin recover after injury, will "go" to the problem site after the procedure.

The processes in the skin that cause fractional micromosaic mesotherapy are very interesting. After treatment of the site, aseptic inflammation occurs in which damaged structures, as well as blood cells, collagen, melanin and elastin from the problem zone are destroyed by macrophages. From the mobilization zone, fibroblasts are sent to the regeneration zone, which "repair" the basal layer overnight and form a new collagen and elastin, from which a new cellular framework is obtained. Such rates of recovery can shorten the rehabilitation period to several hours (you can apply cosmetics and shave the next day), during which the skin actively absorbs nutrients used to treat a particular process.

Procedures will need several

Fractional mesotherapy can only process one-fifth of the problem area at a time, therefore, to completely restore the damaged area, it may take 4-5 procedures, which are performed at intervals of 10-12 days. During this period, the skin is complete recovery processes, and he is ready for the next treatment session. The device of the fractional micro needle mesotherapy, installed in this or that salon, may differ slightly from the "fellow" in its characteristics.

The main characteristics of mesotherapy machines

For example, the Korean model "Dermopen EDR-02" has adjustable needle length, from 0.2 to 2 millimeters, it includes cartridges with a dozen sterile needles that can penetrate into the skin also at an adjustable rate - up to 2400 punctures per minute . The penetration density of the device into the skin is quite high - 12 needles per 0.2 square centimeter, which allows to carry out the procedure with the least painful sensations for the patient. The device allows you to process large surfaces at a high tempo, giving customers the opportunity to process skin integument on the body and face in one session.

Application not only for face and body

The more expensive fractional mesotherapy equipment ZX 12-13, also available in Korea, has approximately the same characteristics as the Dermopen EDR-02. The device ZX 12-13 is distinguished by a lower cost of cartridges that can be disinfected for several procedures for one customer, while for Dermopen EDR-02 only one-time options are provided. The device "Zet-X 12-13" affects the skin with 12 micro-needles, which produce a maximum adjustable speed of 3600 beats per minute, which allows using it with mesotherapy of the scalp and giving increased effectiveness in the treatment of stretch marks. The depth of penetration of the apparatus is all the same 0.2-2.0 mm. An additional advantage of the device is the possibility of its autonomous operation on the battery.

The apparatus of fractional mesotherapy "Raffin" is known among specialists as the device with the most thin needles that have stiletto sharpening. They penetrate the skin only 0.3-0.8 mm, which allows you to carry out procedures without local anesthesia, even on the face. The device is equipped with a powerful Japanese engine and gives up to 2,400 injections per minute, which allows not only to treat the skin from scars and stretch marks, but also to get good results with cellulite, couperose, atonic skin (strengthening nutrition), etc.

Does it hurt or not?

The most inexpensive are the salon procedures, conducted on the apparatus "Mi-m", which in itself is inexpensive. A special feature of this device is sufficiently thick needles penetrating into the tissues to a depth of 2 mm with a speed of 10 to 30 movements per second. The procedure can be quite painful, but discomfort depends on the level of the patient's own pain threshold. As a rule, fractional mesotherapy does not leave traces on the treated surface, but in some cases small swelling is possible, which, however, quickly pass.

The result is not always guaranteed

When visiting the salon, the clients, as a rule, do not pay attention to the fact that the apparatus of fractional mesotherapy is used. Reviews, expressed subsequently, are sometimes negative, since the girls do not get the desired result. This is possible in the case when an unconscientious cosmetologist, using the device, for example, did not take into account that the pits from the post can not be much larger in depth than the needle of the apparatus. But in general, the impressions of this procedure in women are more than positive, as the skin becomes fresh, tightened, elastic without surgical intervention.

Mesotherapy at home

Can the fractional mesotherapy be carried out at home? Reviews about mesorollers - mechanical devices for individual use - indicate that such operations are possible, but they are less effective than salon procedures. When using mesorollers, it should be remembered that it should be disinfected after applying hydrogen peroxide, medical alcohol or special liquids and sprays, do not steam or other high-temperature methods (autoclave, etc.), do not drop, as this can damage the thinnest needles that Further will lead to traumas of processed integuments.

Ah, this "magic" hyaluronic acid!

Preparations for fractional mesotherapy used in salons and at home are most often based on hyaluronic acid. It is a synthetic substance of non-animal origin, which when introduced contributes to the formation of a protective film that resists the environment, which determines the moisture level of the skin, gives the skin firmness, smooths wrinkles, promotes wound healing without scarring. The maximum concentration of natural hyaluronic acid in the body is in young years (up to 25 years) due to its natural synthesis. Therefore, young people have such beautiful and fresh faces.

The user reported that, after applying the hyaluronic acid-based mesococtails, skin color enhancements and smartness can be seen almost immediately, which can persist for several months, after which the procedure should be repeated. For a longer-term effect, mesotherapy should be carried out by courses in several procedures, which many ladies consider to be quite expensive (one procedure per person can cost from 2500 rubles). But it must be taken into account that the price of the service, among other things, is the work of a cosmetologist, from the skill of which the result of manipulating the skin almost always depends. For example, not many know that the same drugs of hyaluronic acid can not be brought home roller directly into the inner corners of the eyes, so as not to harm the lacrimal glands.

Vitamins (C, E, A), mineral-salt complexes that promote the resorption of scars, etc. are offered in salons and shops based on hyaluronic acid, for example NCTF. To smooth wrinkles, complexes with peptide argyregin are offered, which relaxes muscles . Lotion for mesotherapy used to treat allopecia, contain extracts of plankton, and gels for eliminating acne eruptions - active sulfur compounds. With the help of apparatus fractional mesotherapy can get rid of dark circles under the eyes, if you use a solution of hyaluronic acid in combination with vitamins and troxerutin. Pick up the right drug and carry out all the necessary manipulations and it can only a highly qualified specialist.

We get rid of the "stars" and dark circles

In addition, fractional mesotherapy, which is often more positive than negative, allows you to get rid of puffiness (solutions with artichoke), vascular asterisks (drugs based on ginkgo biloba), increase tone (mesococciols including melilot and rutin), reduce the size "Riding breeches" or "second chin" due to the use of concentrates with L-kartininom or lipolytic caffeine.

The above preparations are often diluted to the desired concentration with a bioactivator (2% procaine), which reduces the concentration of nutrients to the desired level and reduces the soreness from the rejuvenation procedure performed in home or salon conditions. In addition, users often buy special disinfectants, if they use their own individual mesorollers, which must be thoroughly sterilized before each procedure.

The average score for the mesotherapy procedure, obtained from surveys of Russian women, is about 4 out of five possible. They occur as completely negative (the skin condition has not changed, the manipulations are painful, the cost is high), and rave reviews about rejuvenation for ten years, painlessness and the admissibility of high prices for such a wonderful operation.
