Prevention and treatment of skin aging with Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is well known in the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system and that of certain aesthetic indications such as cellulitis and androgenetic alopecia.

 

Properly used, mesotherapy gives great satisfaction in the prevention and treatment of skin aging including the face, neck, decollete and hands.

 

For this, the method should be precise and care :

• 1st syringe: epidermal technical level of all affected areas (face, neck, hands if necessary) with a mixture "nutritious" (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, nucleic acids ...) whose action is combined intense cutaneous stimulation of the needle.
• 2nd syringe :
  • injections at all the fine wrinkles (eyes, cheeks, neck ...) with the technique of the « papule » (epidermal-dermal junction). The injections are spaced 2-3 mm.
  • deeper injections in the face with the technique of « nappage » (strict intradermal injection: 2-3mm deep). It must sting about thirty points.

In these two latter types of injection, the mixture used is the precedent which is added to the non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid.

 

The results are visible after 5 sessions spaced two weeks each. The radiance is apparent quickly (in the USA the technique is called "mesoglow") and then quickly fade fine wrinkles, tone and improve skin hydration and prominently.

 

Although mastered, this technique is very satisfactory, requiring only syringe and two needles and some products!
