Advanced Mesotherapy: A step forward in skin care
What is Advanced Mesotherapy and why it is regarded as a step forward?
As an aesthetic treatment, Advanced Mesotherapy is a step forward from “one combination treats all” ( one size fits all) .
It is about careful customization of treatments which takes into account not only the skin problem to be addressed but also the skin colour, ethnic background, age of the patient and gender.
How did we get here?
Skin Care products have been used forever everywhere.
We started with topical skin care which in various forms has been the mainstay of skin care for centuries.
Topical skincare products play a crucial role in maintaining overall skin health and providing hydration and nourishment.
The benefits of skin care products cannot be underestimated.
However, they have limitations in treating specific skin concerns and in time, more effective treatments have been discovered.
Limitations of Skincare
- Limited penetration: Topical skincare products work on the skin’s surface and have limited penetration into the deeper layers of the skin. This means that the active ingredients may not be able to reach the areas where they are most needed. The limited penetration and concentration of active ingredients may not be enough to produce significant results.
- Dilution and degradation: Topical skincare products can be diluted or degraded when applied to the skin due to factors such as sweat, sebum, and environmental exposure.
- Lower concentration: The concentration of active ingredients in topical skincare products is generally lower compared to the concentrated doses used in treatments like mesotherapy.
This lower concentration may not provide the same level of effectiveness in treating deep-seated skin concerns.
- Regulatory requirements: All the ingredients used in cosmetic products meet certain regulatory requirements, but the use of many substances is allowed only within certain limits, due to their toxicity at higher concentrations. This means that some ingredients may not be as effective or safe as they claim to be.
- Overuse: The use of too many skincare products can damage the skin barrier and microbiome, removing essential nutrients that the skin needs. This can lead to dryness, irritation, and other skin problems.
- They may provide temporary improvements in appearance but may not produce long-lasting or significant results.
- Individual skin variations: The effectiveness of topical skincare products can vary depending on individual skin characteristics, such as skin type, sensitivity, and absorption capacity: What works for one person may not work as effectively for another.
Why Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy offers remarkable solutions to the above limitations of skin care products and a more intensive and targeted approach to skin concerns.
Mesotherapy involves the use of multiple intradermal or subcutaneous injections of a mixture of compounds in minute doses, administered with very fine needles.
The purpose of these injections is to deliver nutrients and other active ingredients directly to the skin, promoting rejuvenation and healing.
Substances used in advanced mesotherapy may include:
- Hyaluronic acid
- Vitamins (such as vitamin C and B-complex vitamins)
- Minerals (such as calcium and magnesium)
- Amino acids
- Enzymes
- Antioxidants
- Plant extracts
Typically , classic mesotherapy uses ready made serums that contain various combination of ingredients to treat skin issues such as: dryness, dehydration, sun damage, pigmentation, acne, scars, wrinkling, cellulite , isolated fat deposits etc.
What are the advantages of advanced Mesotherapy over traditional skin care?
The advantages of mesotherapy over topical skincare include:
- Deeper penetration: Mesotherapy involves the injection of active ingredients directly into the skin, allowing for deeper penetration compared to topical skincare products This means that the beneficial substances can reach the deeper layers of the skin where they can have a more significant impact.
- Targeted treatment: Mesotherapy allows for a more targeted approach to skincare concerns. The injections can be administered directly to specific problem areas, such as wrinkles, lines, age spots, or cellulite. This targeted treatment can lead to more effective results in addressing specific concerns.
- Enhanced efficacy: The direct delivery of active ingredients through mesotherapy can enhance the efficacy of the treatment. By bypassing the barriers of the skin, such as the stratum corneum, the active ingredients can have a more direct and potent effect on the skin.
- Stimulates collagen production: Mesotherapy can promote collagen production, which is essential for maintaining youthful and firm skin. The injections stimulate the skin cells to produce more collagen, leading to improved skin tone, elasticity, and a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
- Improved circulation and skin health: Mesotherapy can improve blood and lymph circulation in the skin, promoting detoxification and healing. This can result in healthier skin cells and a more vibrant complexion.
The main drawback of classic Mesotherapy: the products are not as customizable as in advanced mesotherapy. They are formulated for general use and may not be tailored to individual skin needs and concerns.
What are the advantages of Advanced Mesotherapy over Classic Mesotherapy?
Advanced Mesotherapy is the capacity to customise the treatment. While the substances used in advanced mesotherapy and traditional mesotherapy are similar, advanced mesotherapy may offer more customization and precision in the delivery of the injections.
By combining highly potent ingredients in carefully customised doses, it allows us to perform treatments that target more than one issue in the same session, with better and faster results as well as less complications, discomfort and downtime.
