One of the most frequently performed cosmetological procedures in the face, neck, decolletage, but also in other areas of the body is mesotherapy. This is an action that not only intensively stimulates the skin to regenerate each time, but also allows the delivery of valuable nutritional preparations individually selected to the needs of each patient into its depths. Today, both mesotherapy for the face and mesotherapy for the hair are performed. Check out the possible types of this treatment and of which mesotherapy will be the right choice for specific problems.
What is mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a treatment used both as a preventive measure and to actively work on various types of skin problems or lesions. It also owes its popularity to the fact that it is a minimally invasive measure, and when performed properly, it produces satisfactory results in people of all ages, regardless of gender. Most often, mesotherapy is used to restore facial elasticity and firmness, smooth the complexion, improve facial oval or reduce the appearance of wrinkles. You can also use preparations that will work to moisturize, brighten and nourish. This is a great way to restore radiance to tired and lackluster complexions, as well as take care to delay aging and degenerative processes in the deeper tissues of the skin. For many people, various types of mesotherapy are also used to get rid of hyperpigmentation, unsightly scars or for stimulating hair follicles (when applied to the scalp). This is one method also used in hair loss therapies.
What is mesotherapy and how does the procedure proceed?
Among the most popular types of mesotherapy are needle and micro-needle mesotherapy. The procedure involves a series of injections using a very fine needle or special devices equipped with small needles. This results in a controlled disruption of the skin, which stimulates cells to rebuild, multiply and regenerate faster. This is particularly intense for collagen and elastin – key compounds for skin firmness. The punctures themselves are a positive effect for the skin, and in addition, in mesotherapy, along with the punctures, properly selected nutrients and substances are introduced to help correct specific skin problems. Many people wonder if mesotherapy hurts. However, this procedure is carried out under local anesthesia, so patients do not experience any discomfort during the procedure. Among the treatments offered by cosmetologists is needle-free mesotherapy, in which no needles are used and there is no break in the skin. Such non-invasive mesotherapy is performed using a special device that emits a high-frequency current deep into the skin. As a result, similar effects can be achieved, although for the most intense results cosmetologists usually recommend needle mesotherapy.
> "In needle mesotherapy, concentrated preparations selected according to the patient's needs are introduced directly into the source of the problem. In this type of treatment, the entirety of the substances can act strikingly and immediately. It is also possible to focus on the most sensitive areas as in the case of deep wrinkles, stretch marks, cellulite or scars. If the patient wants the best possible result, needle mesotherapy is the right choice here. Visible improvement can be seen after just one treatment, although depending on the severity of the ailment in question, it's usually worthwhile to perform 3 to 5 actions, and then use follow-up treatments every few months, for example." **- Dr. Katarzyna Osipowicz – specialist in dermatology and aesthetic medicine.
When to perform needle mesotherapy? Indications
Needle mesotherapy helps to support the fight against the most common skin problems and is also used to help treat advanced conditions in some skin ailments. This type of treatment is especially recommended by specialists for such problems as:
- signs of skin aging, including facial wrinkles and deep wrinkles, as well as changes associated with photoaging,
- loss of facial oval,
- flaccid and lack of elasticity of the skin,
- loss of skin firmness,
- clear signs of fatigue, dull and lackluster skin,
- decrease in skin hydration,
- dark circles and bags under the eyes,
- discoloration,
- scars,
- cellulite,
- seborrhea,
- stretch marks,
- weakening and hair loss.
Depending on the type of problem, different preparations can be administered subcutaneously during the treatment. For example, mesotherapy with vitamin C may be used for hyperpigmentation. For wrinkles and loss of firmness, mesotherapy with collagen or mesotherapy with retinol is selected. Mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid can be chosen to restore the skin's radiance and proper hydration. One of the most popular treatments is also mesotherapy with platelet-rich plasma, which is prepared from the patient's own blood, collected beforehand. Such a treatment provides the skin with a real bomb of valuable regenerative and stimulating components. Platelet-rich plasma, together with mesotherapy, helps not only reduce wrinkles and improve skin firmness, but also has an effect on thickening the skin, improving its oval, and shows strong nourishing and moisturizing features.
When will needle-free mesotherapy be a good choice?
Needle-free mesotherapy can be an alternative to needle mesotherapy when, for some reason, traditional injections cannot be carried out or the patient is afraid to do so. In needle mesotherapy, activities are carried out using a special device that somewhat resembles a thick marker, which is equipped with a special tip with micro-needles. An appropriately selected preparation is administered to a small depth of the skin along with a series of automatic punctures.

- stimulation of the skin for regeneration, reconstruction and intensive production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid,
- thickening the skin and increasing the level of skin elasticity,
- hydration and nourishment of the skin,
- reduction of scars of various origins,
- reduction of stretch marks (e.g. after pregnancy),
- reduction of hyperpigmentation,
- reduction in the appearance of dilated blood vessels,
- reduction of dark circles under the eyes,
- improvement of skin tone and healthy appearance.
Needle-free mesotherapy can be an excellent choice for people who do not yet have advanced problems. It's also a suitable measure for those who want to take better care of their skin's condition than by using only daily care with cosmetics. Needleless mesotherapy is also a good example of a preventive treatment that can help delay the progression of aging processes. Such treatments are often performed as early as after the age of 20, when processes gradually begin in the skin that slow down the production of key compounds and substances, such as collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
How many mesotherapy treatments need to be performed to achieve the desired effect?
The above question is asked by many people who want to use this popular procedure. However, the answer in this case is not the easiest. Much here depends on the severity of the problems and the type of ailment. Also important are the individual predisposition of a given patient, the rate of skin regeneration and the progression of processes that are genetically determined. Although the effects of mesotherapy can be seen after the first treatment, it is usually recommended to carry out 3 to 5 appointments at intervals of a week or two. The detailed schedule here depends on the specifics of the preparations administered and the needs of the individual patient. Therefore, to get the best results, it is worth using mesotherapy performed by experienced and qualified specialists. Such people will accurately recognize and evaluate specific skin problems, and apply certified and reputable preparations. Mesotherapy with innovative substances performed both for various skin problems all over the body and for weakening and hair loss is carried out at the OT.CO Clinic. After performing a certain series of treatments, it is important to remember not to neglect daily care and to use daily products properly selected for the needs of the specific skin. In order to sustain the effects of the treatment, it is also necessary to repeat mesotherapy once every few months or perform it more frequently. These issues are discussed in detail during consultation with the doctor and in the context of the expected effects of the procedure.
