Mesotherapy is a non-surgical treatment involving injections into the middle layers of the skin to improve the skin's texture and firmness, break up fat deposits, and reduce wrinkles. Doctors who offer these treatments do so using a variety of mesotherapy products, as well as a range of injection formulas.
While mesotherapy is often delivered using a thin needle, a number of specialized injection delivery devices have been designed to give doctors better control over the process. These ensure that the needle only penetrates two to six millimeters underneath the skin, so that the injected solution is delivered to the correct area of the skin. Automated devices, sometimes called 'mesotherapy guns,' control the timing, spacing, or dose delivery. By increasing accuracy, such devices may lead to more predictable results and reduced side effects.
The substances used for treatment include homeopathic compounds, vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, and medications. These are believed to break apart fat deposits, reduce wrinkles, and treat other skin issues you may have, such as stimulating hair regrowth in areas of hair loss. There is no standard formula; many doctors create the solution based on the specific skin issues the patient wants to target, while others use the same formula for all of their patients. Ask your doctor about the specific products being used for your mesotherapy treatments.
Ask your mesotherapy doctor about the mesotherapy products and injection solutions he or she uses, so that you can make informed decisions regarding the mesotherapy process you are about to undergo.
