Mesotherapy is a skin treatment procedure that holds a popular spot in the skincare world. While, one may opt for various products to get the skin they desire, this lone process claims to provide with a skin rejuvenation that also addresses a wide variety of skin issues as well. However, every procedure carries a size-able set of pros and cons and these can be listed along with some details regarding what it actually is.
What Is The Procedure?
The word ‘meso’ means ‘middle’ meaning the middle layer of the skin. As a result, the word mesotherapy refers to injecting the middle layer of your skin with vitamins, enzymes or hormones with very fine thin needles. The idea behind this therapy was originally to relieve pain resulting from medical procedures until it made its way to cosmetology where skin damaging issues like inflammation or poor blood circulation started being treated using this process.
How It Works
Mesotherapy may vary according to the skin issue you’re trying to resolve. Mainly it involves the following steps:
- The doctor typically applies anesthetic to the areas that are about to be treated. However, this may not be an option if you have high pain tolerance level.
- Next come the series of injections filled with various ingredients depending upon the issue at hand. Each needle is injected at the depth of 1 to 4 mm again depending on the type of skin problem being treated.
- You may need several mesotherapy sessions for the related skin issue to achieve the desired results as recommended by the doctor.
What It Does
Following are some of the processes mesotherapy is being used for today:
- Reduction of wrinkles or cellulite
- Removal of excess fat from legs, arms, face, thighs, stomach, hips
- Lightening of skin
- Pigmenting the skin
- Baldness
Is It Effective?
It’s hard to conclude regarding the results because the process uses a variety of ingredients that vary with different skin related issues. A limited number of studies have been carried out that haven’t shown positive results in term of skin rejuvenation i.e. studies conducted deduced that the procedure didn’t have any real effect on the thigh size or the wrinkles.
Benefits
- Mesotherapy is no ordinary therapy and it is not just for some specific treatments and issues. Rather it can be used to address various types of skin issues all at once, which makes it a really efficient procedure.
- As it can be used for many kinds of skin issues, it can be an alternative to otherwise expensive procedures or surgeries.
- It saves both, cost and time due to above-mentioned facts.
- Another added upside of this therapy is that it caters the factor of brightening and clearing skin. Because injecting of vitamins and enzymes brightens the skin.
- If your skin has any deficiency of vitamins or minerals, this process can provide your skin with the dose of vitamins and other minerals.
- The treated skin may appear firm, healthy and hydrated.
Conclusion
Although the procedure has been claimed to have shown promising results but as of today, there has been no in-depth study regarding its confirmed results and effects. As it was introduced to be an alternative to cosmetic surgeries like liposuction, it’s considered to be pain-relieving treatment in the skincare world and hence there is a general lack of confirmation regarding safety and side effects.
