Mesotherapy, also known as biorejuvenation, is a non-surgical
skin rejuvenation technique to deliver tiny amounts of vitamins, essential
oils, plant extracts, or medications into the skin through many small injections.
Mesotherapy is meant to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, break down fat, and
boost collagen growth in your facial skin for a more youthful appearance.
How mesotherapy is performed
Mesotherapy is a fast and nearly painless procedure that is
commonly done in spas and homeopathy clinics.
Your dermatologist or skin care specialist will cleanse your
face using rubbing alcohol and inject the mesotherapy solution into your skin
using a small needle. The depth of the injections can vary depending on what
layer of the skin is being targeted for treatment. A common treatment regimen
is to have one injection per week for a month, then once every two weeks for
two months, and then just once per month.
Mesotherapy refers to the injection technique itself—what’s
in the injections can vary. Mesotherapy solutions are usually composed of
natural mixtures of vitamins, minerals, plant extracts, and essential oils, but
can contain other medications as well. You can ask your skin care specialist
about the mesotherapy solution they are using.
Recovery and results
There is no downtime to mesotherapy, but there
are risks of bruising, inflammation, and infection. The efficacy of mesotherapy
for skin rejuvenation is unclear and the FDA has not evaluated different
chemicals or mixtures for use in mesotherapy.
