Mesotherapy is a technique that uses injections of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, hyaluronic acid, peptides, exosomes and plant extracts to rejuvenate and tighten skin.
How does it work?
After consultation with your healthcare provider you will decide which mesopeptide product is best for you. The area will be cleansed and topical Lidocaine will be applied to numb the area prior to the procedure. The peptides will be mixed with exosomes and then injected subdermally with mesogold 20.
The best candidates for mesotherapy treatments are those over the age of 18 who are physically healthy, not pregnant or breastfeeding. This is a preventative as well as restorative anti aging treatment suitable for all skin types.
How to Prepare (pre-treatment)
Come to your treatment with a clean face. Avoid alcohol, Advil, Tylenol, Aspirin and vitamins a few days prior to treatment to reduce risk of bleeding and bruising. Do not stop prescribed medication without consulting with the injector.
What Does it Feel Like?
Mesotherapy is relatively painless as the area is numbed prior to treatment and the needles being used are 0.5-1.5mm in length for superficial injection.
Post Treatment and Aftercare
Results will be instant and improve over the course of 2 weeks while your skin cells repair and new skin is formed. Depending on the product used you will see a reduction in fine lines, shrunken pores and hydrated skin. Your skin may be red and tender after the treatment for up to 48 hours.
How many sessions are required?
1. fragrances, retinol, alpha & beta hydroxy acids, Vitamin C and anything perceived as “active” skincare for 7-10 days.
2. avoid makeup and swimming for 24 hours
3. avoid extended sun exposure and direct sun exposure for 7 days
4. avoid exercise or strenuous activity for 24 hours
How Many Sessions are Required?
3 sessions are usually recommended initially and then every 6 months for maintenance.
