Mesotherapy is a treatment method commonly used in medical aesthetics and dermatology, involving the injection of vitamins, minerals, and other nourishing substances into the skin's deeper layers. This method is effective in addressing many aesthetic concerns, including skin rejuvenation, hair loss treatment, and cellulite.

What is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy involves injecting various vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other nourishing substances into the mesoderm, the middle layer of the skin, using fine needles. This method aims to improve skin health and appearance. Mesotherapy can be applied in different forms depending on the purposes and needs:

• Facial Mesotherapy (Mesolift)
• Hair Mesotherapy
• Cellulite Mesotherapy
• Body Mesotherapy
• What Does Mesotherapy Do?

Mesotherapy is applied to rejuvenate the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, prevent hair loss and promote hair growth, reduce the appearance of cellulite, and improve skin texture. It also helps in reducing localized fat and tightening the skin.

By injecting nourishing substances under the skin, mesotherapy promotes skin renewal, firmness, and a healthier appearance. It is used in treating various aesthetic issues such as skin rejuvenation, hair loss treatment, cellulite treatment, and localized slimming.

How is Mesotherapy Performed?

The question of how mesotherapy is performed is one of the most frequently asked. The procedure is done by an experienced specialist in a sterile clinical environment. The area to be treated is cleaned, and a local anesthetic cream may be applied. Using fine needles or a mesotherapy gun, the nourishing substances are injected under the skin. The application usually takes between 30-45 minutes and is effective over a period depending on the purpose.

The substances used in mesotherapy applications include vitamins (A, B, C, E), minerals, amino acids, enzymes, hyaluronic acid, and other nourishing components. These substances help renew and rejuvenate the skin.

Pre-Mesotherapy Preparations

The pre and post-mesotherapy process is not challenging for the patient. The patient’s overall health and medical history are evaluated as a fundamental part of all procedures. If the patient uses blood-thinning medications, they should inform the specialist to prevent bleeding risk. These medications are usually discontinued one week before the procedure. Mesotherapy usually takes 30-45 minutes. After the procedure, the patient can immediately return to daily activities.

Effects of Mesotherapy

In the context of medical aesthetics, mesotherapy sessions can immediately revitalize and brighten the skin. Mild swelling, redness, and bruising may occur in the treated area, but these symptoms typically resolve within a few days.

The effects of mesotherapy generally last for several weeks. Regular sessions are recommended at specific intervals to achieve long-term results. Mesotherapy sessions are usually repeated every 3-6 months to maintain the overall health and appearance of the skin.

Mesotherapy is generally suitable for individuals aged 18 and older. However, it is more commonly preferred for skin rejuvenation purposes in individuals aged 30 and above.

Post-Mesotherapy Care

After mesotherapy, it is important to keep the treated area clean and dry. Avoid strenuous physical activities and do not massage the treated area for the first 24 hours post-procedure. Protecting the treated area from sunlight for the first 2-3 days is also crucial.
