Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is more a principle of treatment, delivering key nutritional elements such as vitamins directly to the area of concern. Mesotherapy injections deliver nutrients directly into the deep layers of the skin to maximise rejuvenation. So the main consideration is the product being injected. Perfect Skin Solutions only use products from Toskani, one of the most internationally recognised mesotherapy and medical cosmetic companies. The substances injected may include vitamins, minerals, enzymes, plant or natural extracts. Mesotherapy has been around for over 60 years and is practised in countries all over the world, including the U.K., France, Switzerland, Belgium, the United States and several South American countries. It’s recognised as a medical speciality in France and has become a widely accepted medical technique. We avoid certain applications of mesotherapy where there is no strong evidence of efficacy and/or safety or where we already have a more effective treatment. Subdermal vitamin injections rejuvenate the cells, making them more active and therefore stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. The substances injected can include hydrating agents, natural extracts and other active ingredients tailored to the patient’s needs. Mesotherapy also promotes elastin production, improving skin firmness and elasticity. You can start anti-ageing treatments in your mid-twenties to prevent wrinkles from forming. Facial mesotherapy is good for tired looking skin, dark circles and overall skin texture. Treatments for the face, neck, arms and hands are recommended several times a year. The treated area may be sore or have minor side effects.
Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common form of hair loss affecting both men and women. Mesotherapy can be used to treat hair loss and promote hair re-growth by delivering nutrients directly to the hair follicles. Almost all men and women with AGA start to lose their hair before the age of 40 and many will start losing their hair by the age of 30. AGA affects 50% of men and 20-50% of women by the age of 50 and is distinguished from all other types of alopecia by its gradual onset. AGA is caused by the gradual shrinking of the hair follicles that produce normal (terminal) hairs into miniaturised hair follicles that produce fine (vellus) hairs. The terminal-to-vellus hair ratio, normally 2:1, gradually reduces until it’s reversed.Although AGA is considered a cosmetic condition by most doctors it can have significant psychological and physical effects on those who have it. Women are more prone to the psychological effects of hair loss as a thick head of hair is a highly valued part of feminine beauty in almost every culture.
Men present with gradual thinning in the temporal areas, producing a V-shaped frontal hairline. As hair loss progresses a bald patch appears on the crown of the head which increases in size as the frontal hairline recedes. Eventually the receding frontal hairline and the bald patch meet up and you lose hair on most of the top of the head whilst the hair around the base of the head remains. This pattern of hair loss is classified as Norwood/Hamilton stages 1-7.
Women present with diffuse thinning of hair on the crown of the head. This pattern of hair loss is classified as Ludwig stages 1-3. V-shaped temporal recession does occur in women but to a lesser degree than in men. Women generally maintain their frontal hairline. AGA is inherited; however the exact mechanism of inheritance has not been determined. It’s also likely that systemic or external factors play a role. When customising mesotherapy treatments we need to consider the patient’s skin type.
Not much. You may feel a slight pinching or burning sensation when the injections are administered. Remember injections are very superficial; just under the skin. We use probably the world’s most advanced injecting device which allows very depth-precise injecting. The importance of precise injection sites ensures effective and safe treatment. This also means we can use an extremely fine needle and with the device injecting at such high speed the patient can relax in relative comfort during the entire treatment. Some mesotherapy treatments may also use glycolic acid to improve skin texture and promote cell turnover.
Apart from some bruising which generally resolves in one week the risk of side effects is extremely low. Patients may experience temporary soreness. This will subside in 24-48 hours. There is also the potential for minor skin damage or bruising at the injection sites which will resolve quickly.Most people see results after a few treatments; however it’s difficult to say how long these results will last as we can’t stop the natural ageing of your skin. For this reason we recommend regular maintenance visits. A healthy lifestyle including proper diet and exercise can enhance and prolong the results of mesotherapy. 2-4 treatments a year will keep your skin super-nourished and the results will speak for themselves.
What is Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that has become very popular for those looking for effective solutions for skin rejuvenation, hair loss and body contouring. Developed by French physician Dr. Michel Pistor this medical technique involves using very fine needles to deliver a customised blend of active ingredients into the middle layer of the skin. By targeting this layer mesotherapy aims to improve skin health, tighten skin and remove excess fat resulting in a fresher more youthful appearance. Whether you want to address stubborn fat deposits, improve the quality of your skin or restore hair growth mesotherapy is a versatile and effective treatment that works with your body’s natural processes.
What is Mesotherapy Used For?
Mesotherapy treatments can be used to address a wide range of skin concerns and cosmetic conditions. Common uses include tightening loose skin, treating hair loss and improving pigmented skin. The treatment is also very effective for boosting skin hydration, improving blood circulation and reducing the visibility of stretch marks and superficial wrinkles. Beyond cosmetic benefits mesotherapy can be used to treat medical conditions such as poor circulation making it a great option for those who want to improve sluggish blood circulation without cosmetic surgery. Each treatment can be customised to target specific concerns so patients get a solution tailored to their individual needs.
How Mesotherapy Works
Mesotherapy works by delivering a customised blend of ingredients—hyaluronic acid, vitamins and plant extracts—into the middle layer of the skin using fine needles. This targeted approach improves blood circulation, skin texture and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin which are essential for youthful skin. Before the treatment a numbing cream is applied to the area to be treated to ensure comfort. The injections are performed with precision so can treat areas such as the face, neck and body. Mesotherapy can also be combined with other treatments like dermal fillers to enhance results and address more skin concerns.
Mesotherapy Ingredients
The ingredients used in mesotherapy are chosen based on the individual’s skin concerns and treatment goals. Commonly used substances are hyaluronic acid for deep skin hydration, vitamin C for brightening and antioxidant protection, amino acids to support skin repair and plant extracts to soothe and rejuvenate. Growth factors can also be added to promote hair growth and overall skin tone. These active ingredients are delivered into the skin using very fine needles making the treatment minimally invasive and highly effective. The combination of these powerful agents boosts collagen production, improves blood circulation and addresses various skin and hair concerns.
Benefits of Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy offers many benefits for those who want to improve their appearance and skin health. The treatment is known for deep skin hydration, fine lines and wrinkles reduction and even skin tone. It’s also a solution for hair loss, poor circulation and minimising pigmented skin. As a minimally invasive treatment mesotherapy requires little to no downtime so patients can get back to their daily activities quickly. Maintenance treatments are recommended to maintain optimal results so mesotherapy is a practical choice for ongoing facial skin rejuvenation, body contouring and hair growth. With its versatility and proven results mesotherapy is a leading treatment in aesthetic medicine for a radiant youthful look.
