What is Mesotherapy treatment?
Mesotherapy harnesses both mechanical and chemical actions to rejuvenate the skin. Mechanical stimulation involves the precise injection of needles, creating micro-damages that prompt the body’s natural healing processes. This leads to the production of new collagen and elastin, vital proteins for maintaining youthful and firm skin. Importantly, existing collagen remains intact during Mesotherapy, with only new collagen stimulated. Chemical stimulation involves the introduction of tailored solutions into the skin’s middle layer, tailored to address individual skin conditions and concerns. This treatment can be administered using thin needles or specialised devices.
Facial Mesotherapy
As time progresses, the skin undergoes natural ageing, manifesting in visible signs such as wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, typically surfacing around the age of 30. Additionally, changes in skin complexion occur gradually. Various external factors, including UV light exposure, genetics, stress, and pollutants, contribute to skin ageing. Mesotherapy emerges as a highly effective treatment for achieving smoother skin, repairing microdamage, and diminishing fine lines. This technique stimulates and nourishes the skin’s top layer, making it a popular choice among both men and women who seek preventive anti-aging measures, often beginning in their mid-20s.
Mesotherapy Treatment for Fat and Cellulite Reduction
Mesotherapy presents a non-surgical solution for reducing fat. During the procedure, specific products are directly injected into problematic areas, boosting local metabolism and preventing fat cell accumulation. Enhanced metabolic rates facilitate the breakdown of existing fat cells, targeting fat and cellulite in areas like the buttocks, thighs, waist, double chin, and other regions prone to unsightly fat deposits. Mesotherapy yields noticeable reductions in cellulite and promotes smoother, more uniform skin, resulting in a naturally rejuvenated appearance. Treated areas also experience improved firmness and slimming effects.
Mesotherapy for Stretch Marks
Effective in eliminating stretch marks, this treatment involves delivering specialised products into the skin’s dermal layer via mesotherapy. Utilising fine needles, mesotherapy administers a formula comprising Hyaluronic Acid, antioxidants, and Vitamin B5 to target stretch marks. With several treatment sessions, the skin becomes smoother, tighter, and remarkably less marked by stretch marks. Strengthening the skin and promoting rejuvenation and firmness, the Stretchcare product also enhances moisture retention, flexibility, and reduces skin discoloration. With minimal side effects, this treatment is suitable for patients of all ages, offering results that can last for over 3 months.
Mesotherapy Treatment for Hair Loss
Often, hair loss occurs due to hormonal imbalances around the hair follicles, insufficient nutrients, or poor blood flow. Mesotherapy treatment addresses these issues by improving blood circulation, reducing excess DHT (dihydrotestosterone), alleviating inflammation, stimulating collagen production, and increasing hair follicle size. Consequently, this treatment not only prevents or halts hair loss but also fosters the growth of new hair.
The Benefits of Mesotherapy Treatment
Following mesotherapy treatment, tired and dull skin is instantly revitalised, with fine lines reduced and hyperpigmentation and acne scars diminished. The facial skin receives much-needed hydration and radiance. Mesotherapy improves poor blood flow, aiding the body in eliminating toxins that contribute to ageing. Mesotherapy vitamin solutions activate fibroblast cells in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production to protect against ageing. These vitamin cocktails, enriched with vitamins, hyaluronic acid, peptides, growth factors, antioxidants, and other essential elements, promote healthier skin capable of resisting the ageing process. Mesotherapy treatment solutions nourish, rejuvenate, and repair the skin, rebuilding its structure, smoothing cellulite dimples, and enhancing body contours by firming and toning the skin. Furthermore, mesotherapy can stimulate hair growth and alleviate symptoms of hair loss.
FAQs
Upon arrival at Harley Medclinic, patients undergo an initial consultation with the treatment doctor, who meticulously assesses both their skin condition and the specific treatment area. The highly trained Harley Medclinic team doctors specialise in various aesthetic procedures and ensure each patient receives personalised care. Additionally, the treatment doctor inquires about the patient’s medication use and allergies to prevent any adverse reactions, tailoring a bespoke procedure plan to address individual concerns and objectives.
During the treatment session, the patient’s skin is numbed using an anaesthetic, minimising discomfort throughout the procedure. Subsequently, a specialised short needle is used to administer injections at varying depths, typically ranging from 1 to 4 mm into the skin, depending on the targeted condition and solution. These precise injections penetrate the mesoderm, correcting underlying issues such as poor blood flow and inflammation that contribute to skin damage.
A typical session of mesotherapy treatment for addressing hair loss symptoms generally lasts between 20 to 30 minutes, with the duration contingent upon the size of the targeted area. Typically, achieving optimal results necessitates a series of 10 sessions, spaced two weeks apart. Hair growth stimulation becomes evident within 2 to 3 months following the initiation of treatment.
As mesotherapy involves the use of tiny needles for cosmetic purposes, some potential side effects may occur, including bruising, swelling, inflammation, or a reaction to the injected solution. Patients may also experience sensitivity to touch, itching, or the development of bumps on treated areas. Following the procedure, the face may appear red; however, the treatment doctor can apply mineral foundation to conceal this redness, which typically resolves within 48 hours. Given that mesotherapy is a non-surgical procedure, downtime is minimal, allowing patients to resume their normal daily activities promptly. However, it is advisable to avoid sunbathing and sun exposure for 72 hours following treatment, as well as vigorous exercise for 24 hours. Patients should also refrain from taking aspirin and avoid massaging the treated area to prevent swelling. In the event of swelling, applying a cold compress can help alleviate discomfort.
As every patient is unique, the outcomes of mesotherapy treatments can vary based on factors such as body type, the number of sessions, and the specific type of treatment administered. Some patients may observe immediate improvements, such as enhanced skin tone and hydration, even after the first session. Over time, the skin may become more radiant and evenly toned, resulting in a fresher and rejuvenated appearance, particularly in the face and neck. Others may begin to notice significant changes after the third session. Once the desired results are achieved, they are typically long-lasting. Patients can expect to enjoy benefits such as improved skin texture and tone, as well as enhanced body contour.
Long-lasting results with additional touch-up sessions recommended once or twice a year.
