Mesotherapy - Causes, symptoms and treatment. MF.

The concept of "mesotherapy" appeared in 1950, belongs to Michel Pistor, when he introduced an old shoemaker suffering from bronchial asthma, intravenously procaine and received the desired result. Then the method itself received such a name. Although, this introduction of drugs appeared in the 18th century, when Charles-Gabriel Pravoz invented a syringe with a needle. Now such injections would be called "intravenous" or "intradermal", etc.

At the present stage, mesotherapy is the administration of substances in a low dose, both to the lesion site and next to it, in order to obtain an effect due to this substance, stimulationtissues and biologically active points with a needle. Mesotherapy is performed by a physician-cosmetologist who has passed the corresponding specialization.

Do not apply cosmetics 24 hours before the manipulation. If you ever had herpes manifestations, be sure to tell your doctor about it, as mesotherapy can aggravate it.

The ideal time of the year for mesotherapy is winter or late autumn, as skin healing is faster in these periods. To improve the result of the procedure of mesotherapy it is very advisable to undergo a superficial peeling course before it( this applies, of course, to the person).

Before the session, make sure you have an intradermal allergic test, especially if you are injecting the drug for the first time.

How to perform mesotherapy

In order to avoid complications, the doctor before the procedure starts you a personal card of the mesotherapist, where he carefully collects an anamnesis, selects the drugs that are most often entered in the form of cocktails( their mixture), then you sign the reliability of the information.

The procedure is usually 1 time per week, a maximum of 2. Intensive course of 5-6 procedures, which supports 1 procedure in 2 weeks.

All drugs that are administered with mesotherapy can be divided into allopathic and homeopathic.

Allopathy is the treatment of opposite substances to the state of the human body. Examples include medicines, vitamins used in medicine.

Homeopathy - small doses of substances, which in large cause the disease itself. This triggers triggers, including immune mechanisms, that treat or prevent a pathological condition. That is, the body works itself. ..

If you do mesotherapy for the first time, I would advise you to start with homeopathy. The effect is not as fast as with allopathy, but more resistant, as the "reserves" of your own organism work.

Skin is disinfected, most often chlorhexidine or miramistin. The doctor carries out anesthesia of those places where the substance is injected deeply( for example, wrinkles).More often for this, special creams with anesthetics are used, and the procedure even in the most sensitive patients looks quite comfortable. The maximum depth of administration of drugs is 10 mm. Drugs are injected with a special needle or gun. This is how anyone is comfortable.

Mesotherapy for wrinkles

Mesotherapy for cellulite

Sensations can be divided into two types - it is a kind of micromassage of the skin and pain, which can be compared with a Mantoux reaction or by taking blood from a finger. If there is severe pain( the sensitivity is different for everyone), then ask your doctor to perform additional anesthesia.

Method of introduction is mainly surface( nappage).If a small wrinkle, a papule is made, that is, the preparation is injected to a depth of 5-10 mm. With deep wrinkles - these are such as: "crow's feet" near the eyes, nasolabial triangle, a technique is used - an injection to the depth and the extent of the wrinkle itself.

With mesotherapy of the scalp, the surface technique and papules are used in biologically active points.

For the treatment of cellulite the drug is injected intradermally into special areas.

The average time of the mesotherapy procedure of the face, decollete or scalp is 1 -1.5 hours, the body is 20 minutes.

Possible complications of mesotherapy

One should also remember complications. The most frequent: allergy to drugs, exacerbation of skin, internal diseases, including herpes, skin infection, bleeding.

Therefore, to avoid complications:

if you have very sensitive skin, make an anti-inflammatory mask in the salon.15 minutes after the procedure, do not touch the face. The day after the procedure, wipe the skin with chlorhexidine solution 2 times a day.3 - 4 hours do not apply makeup. Do not sunbathe for 2 - 3 days and do not go to the sauna, swimming pool, solarium.

Mesotherapy is a good technique and with the correct purpose the effect will not be long in coming.
