Mesotherapy is a popular treatment discussed in many online articles, blogs, social media posts, and videos. Satisfied patients may claim that it has the power to make you look much younger and rejuvenate your skin with astounding results.
But is it genuinely effective or just overhyped?
Here’s the truth: mesotherapy does work, and it can create fantastic results.
Below, I’ll explore:
- Why mesotherapy works
- What benefits it offers
- What happens during the treatment
- When results typically start to show
But first, I’ll explain what mesotherapy is.
What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a simple cosmetic treatment performed with a micro needle, cannula, or injection gun. The chosen device feeds a combination of hyaluronic acid and a cocktail (featuring vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and plant extracts) directly into the skin’s middle layer (the dermis).
What Happens During a Mesotherapy Treatment?
Mesotherapy treatments tend to be straightforward and short. They last around 15 minutes on average, but length can vary depending on the size and number of areas treated.
I’ll begin by cleaning the injection sites, then mark them carefully. Next, I’ll prepare the microneedle, injection gun, or cannula to administer the treatment. The injection process is usually comfortable for patients, but if you’re worried about potential pain or you’re nervous with needles, I can apply ice or a numbing cream for your peace of mind.
Why Does Mesotherapy Create Real Results?
Mesotherapy is far from overhyped, as some people may suspect — it really can create smoother, more youthful skin with lasting results. One of the main reasons it works is that it stimulates the body’s natural collagen and elastin production process.
Collagen and elastin are proteins that play a huge role in the human body’s function and appearance. Collagen is a major component of skin, bones, blood vessels, and connective tissues. It helps keep skin strong, firm, and structured.
Elastin is essential for making skin and organs stretchy. It allows the lungs, bladder, and other organs to stretch and return to their proper shape as needed. If you pull your skin and watch it go back to where it should be, that’s elastin at work.
However, the body’s collagen and elastin levels deplete as you grow older. That has a noticeable effect on skin: it contributes to sagging, wrinkles, and fine lines. But mesotherapy can take your collagen and elastin levels higher to create a younger appearance.
Mesotherapy places the cocktail of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and other helpful ingredients directly into the skin’s dermis. That enables them to bypass the outer layer of the skin, hydrate tissue from inside, and get to work sooner rather than later.
All this may be a lot to take in for patients trying mesotherapy for the first time, but it shows that the treatment has a tangible impact on the body and creates visible results.
What are the Benefits of Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy offers the following benefits:
Make Skin Radiant and Youthful
As we age, skin becomes thinner, duller, and wrinkled. The condition of your skin is based on numerous factors, including a drop in collagen and elastin production. But sun exposure, lifestyle choices (e.g. diet, smoking, drinking alcohol), and genetics can all determine how your skin looks.
Mesotherapy can create real changes in your skin’s appearance and texture from within. It’s not just applying a cream or ointment to the skin’s outer layer — the healthy ingredients go beyond that and work from the inside. That can leave your skin plumper, better hydrated, and with a radiant glow. Existing wrinkles and fine lines will be less noticeable too.
Suitable for Different Areas of the Body
Mesotherapy can be used on multiple areas of the body based on each patient’s issues and goals. Treatments may cover:
- Face
- Neck
- Hands
- Arms
- Stomach
- Thighs
For example, if you’re unhappy with wrinkles and sagging skin on your neck, your mesotherapy treatment may focus on that area only. But it may apply to multiple areas if needed.
No Effect on Muscular Movements
Unlike Botox, mesotherapy doesn’t affect muscular contractions or your ability to form expressions. Botoxcreates smoother, younger-looking skin by safely relaxing muscles and preventing them from moving as they usually do. Mesotherapy works on improving skin without that type of physical effect.
Effective for Various Goals
Mesotherapy may be used to address a wide range of issues that affect a patient’s confidence. For example, treatments can target fat cells and break down stubborn pockets of fat that refuse to shift even with a healthy diet and exercise.
I’ll discuss your hopes and expectations for mesotherapy during your pre-treatment consultation. This will help me understand what you want to achieve, how mesotherapy could work for you, and whether it’s the best option for your specific needs.
What are VBeauty Spa’s Mesotherapy and Biorevitalization Treatments?
At VBeauty Spa, I provide Mesotherapy and Biorevitalization treatments to repair skin and reduce the signs of aging. Biorevitalization uses a cocktail of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and enzymes with zero additives. These mixtures are generally more viscous than those used in mesotherapy treatments. As a result, it also fills in areas of skin while revitalizing it.
Mesotherapy works best on younger skin, and it can be particularly powerful in holding back various signs of aging. But Biorevitalization is primarily recommended for patients in their thirties and above who may be experiencing more advanced cosmetic changes.
When Will Results Show?
Results typically start to show immediately after treatment (particularly with Biorevitalization): skin should be smoother and plumper right away. However, the full results can take up to three months to appear.
Between three and six treatments per year, spread three months apart, are necessary to maintain the effects.
