Mesotherapy

Many people are unaware of the existence of mesotherapy which is a non-surgical cosmetic medicine treatment. This treatment came into being in the year 1950; however its associated benefits were understood only recently. Sports injuries, bad blood circulation and rheumatism were being treated initially by this technique. At present mesotherapy is used for treating cosmetic conditions. Some of the treatments carried out by this technique are hair re-growth, rejuvenation of the skin, cellulite treatments and fat reduction.  Mesotherapy is mainly performed in France; however this is becoming popular day by day and you will find a large number of plastic surgeons capable of doing it.

In fact, mesotherapy is nothing but giving a series of injections to the patient. These injections consist of a special mixture of vitamins, amino acids and medications. They are injected under your skin wherein you have the problem. Every site having the problem will be given an injection of a small quantity of this mixture. The basic principle on which mesotherapy operates is very simple. We are injecting the active substances in the areas that require them and this is done through injection. Doctors are of the opinion that this technique is very precise and the solution injected is minimal. If you go for treatments wherein you are given tablets or administered intravenous injections the dosage required is high. This is mainly due to the reason that some amount of medicine is lost en-route to the site requiring treatment.

Normally the doctors administer mesotherapy in order to rejuvenate the skin. The objective in this case is to replace the vitamins, minerals and amino acids that are situated at lower levels in the skin. As an alternate to this the doctors inject hyaluronic acid at higher levels than normal thereby maintaining the firmness and texture of the skin. You must be aware that the level of hyaluronic acid in the skin decreases with age. If you inject the hyaluronic acid into the dermal layer you will be stimulating the production of collagen. This will ensure that fine lines and wrinkles are reduced considerably thereby improving your skin tone.

While talking to your doctor on the subject of mesotherapy you should be very careful. Discuss with him about your longings and try to know what exactly happens after mesotherapy. Many people get disappointed with the results because they do not have full information on its potentials. The outcome of the therapy will be influenced by your medical history and hence it is essential that you follow your surgeon’s instructions without fail. Try to understand the shortcomings of this therapy and make sure that the benefits of this therapy are the ones you are looking for. The doctor might take your photographs before and after therapy. You should be aware that not much can be done in one treatment session. Your doctor will advise on the number of mesotherapy sessions required for your treatment.

The mesotherapy procedures consist of administering multiple injections on the areas affected using a fine needle. The locations for the injections are just under your skin. Initially mesotherapy replaces the lost vitamins, amino acids and minerals; they also boost the hyaluronic acid levels and also improve your blood circulation. The duration for one session of treatment is about 10 to 20 minutes and in most of the cases they are hardly painful. The doctor might use topical anesthetic before the starting of the session in case the patient finds it uncomfortable. You might be administered another injection 2 or 3 weeks after the first treatment. The correct time period will be decided by your doctor. You may require maintenance once in 2 or 3 months. It has been found that the results obtained from mesotherapy have been very good that too in the case of treating your skin tone and overall appearance. However you must ensure that you deal with reputed doctors who have proven themselves in mesotherapy. You must know that this technique is relatively new and not all plastic surgeons have the requisite knowledge and experience in it.
