How to do mesotherapy yourself at home. Mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid: indications and procedure

To cleanse the skin, rejuvenate, give the appearance freshness and beauty, vitamin compositions are often used, which different ways are injected under the skin. We suggest considering how hardware and needle-free mesotherapy for the face is done, the principle of doing it at home, and also how much the procedure costs in beauty salons.

Indications for the procedure and contraindications

Mesotherapy is an innovative procedure that affects the deep layers of the dermis with a certain vitamin, hyaluronic acid or a mixture of them, provides skin rejuvenation, getting rid of acne, pimples and comedones. As active components, both a synthetic composition can be used to fill folds to get rid of wrinkles on the face and neck, as well as natural components: elastane, collagen, amino acids, protein and others.

To achieve a good result, it is enough to use this service for 4 weeks, with a session once every 7 days. Eat several options for mesotherapy for the face:

Needle or injection (carried out with a mesoscooter, similar to a device from a similar series against cellulite or for body weight loss, except for the length of the needles and the dimensions of the plane). This includes revitalization;
Non-injection (similar to a regular massage with a hollow roller soaked in a special solution, this a good option during pregnancy, lactation, minor superficial aesthetic problems of the dermis).

The main advantage of the procedure is that it is cheaper and safer than dermabrasion (deep facial cleansing), despite the fact that the effects are more pronounced. This rejuvenation is safe for girls and women of any age, but you must first consult with a specialist who will help you choose the right recipe for the composition.

Unfortunately, the technique has minuses:

Complications are possible, especially after injection of hyaluronic acid under the skin;
In 40% of cases, side effects occur after the session: swelling, tumors, itching. They go away in 3-5 days, but during this time they cause a lot of inconvenience;
After many sessions, the skin begins to get used to the mixture, and it needs to be changed so as not to cause the body’s dependence;
Mesotherapy or injection biorevitalization is not used to treat pregnant women and children under 16 years of age. Women over 55.

Fractional and non-injection facial mesotherapy has the following contraindications:

Fungal diseases of the face;
Recent (less than 2 weeks ago), laser or chemical facial peel;
Blood diseases, including hepatitis, low coagulability;
Diabetes.

Many beauty salons are also silent about negative sides procedures. Firstly, this method leaves bruises after the session; they are not visible immediately, but after a few days, they disappear within a week. Secondly, this aesthetic cosmetology will not be able to provide lifting of the oval of the face. Thirdly, it really hurts.

How is mesotherapy performed

Let's look at how facial mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid is carried out step by step.

You cannot carry out such a procedure at home; at a minimum, you need to have similar experience, be able to use a mesotherapy device, and, at a maximum, undergo special training at a cosmetology clinic. That's why at home The homeopathic method (ionic, needle-free method) is more common. How oxygen mesotherapy of the body and face is carried out, and what cocktails are allowed for it:

We thoroughly clean the face using a non-abrasive scrub and soft soap foam;
A pre-prepared composition is applied to the skin, left on it, after 5 minutes you need to pick up the massager and make several movements: up to the hairline, down to the neck and from the nose to the cheekbones. Watch our video, it perfectly shows which direction you need to massage;
Next, leave your face rest for another 10 minutes and wash off with special washing gels.

Course – 10 procedures (one per week), after six months break, repeat if necessary. Depending on age, the effect will last from 6 months to a year. To prolong it, the dermis needs to be provided special care:

Take regular walks in the fresh air;
Do facial massages, use a minimal amount of cosmetics;
Between sessions there is no sanding, cleaning, visiting the solarium, etc.

Types of mesotherapy and preparations

For therapy at home, the women's forum advises buying special drugs for facial mesotherapy. For several procedures, one ampoule should be enough, the cost of which is about 1000 rubles, but it is advisable to immediately use the drug for several sessions.

mesotherapy or biorevitalization: which is better.

Mesotherapy is a method of intradermal administration of active components, which can be aimed at rejuvenating the skin of the face and neck, improving the condition of hair, treatment problem skin in patients with acne and seborrhea, as well as to combat local fat deposits and cellulite. The method was invented by the French physician Michel Pistor in the 60s of the last century, and was initially used only for the treatment of cellulite.

There are a huge number of active ingredients that are used in mesotherapy preparations. Preparations for the prevention and treatment of skin aging usually contain various combinations - hyaluronic acid, vitamins, microminerals, antioxidants, amino acids, regulatory peptides, nucleotides. Moreover, the composition of the drugs is selected for each patient individually - taking into account age, type of skin aging, the presence of hyperpigmentation or rosacea.

For local obesity and cellulite, lipolytics (phosphatidylcholine, deoxycholate, L-carnitine, etc.) are used. But the most widely used group of drugs in mesotherapy are vascular and drainage drugs, for example, “Artichoke”, “GAG Complex DVL Capyl” and others. They are used not only in comprehensive programs treatment of cellulite and local fat deposits, but also occupy one of the leading places in rejuvenation programs for patients with deformational (edematous) type of aging.

Classic mesotherapy involves injection of active components into the dermis or subcutaneous fat. Injections are made with very thin 30, 31 or 32G needles (32G needle diameter = only 0.23 mm). Good effectiveness is shown by the so-called facial skin, where meso-cocktails are used in combination with the DermaPen device or mesoscooters. Less effective is the so-called needle-free facial mesotherapy (using pulsed iontophoresis devices), but it is indicated for patients with a tendency to keloid scars.

Indications for mesotherapy of the face and neck –

Therapy and prevention of biological aging of the skin - in order to improve the color, texture, elasticity of the skin, reduce the depth of wrinkles and folds,
therapy and prevention of photoaging (increasing skin hydration, correction of hyperpigmentation and rosacea),
improving the condition of smokers' skin,
local obesity (double chin, fat bags on the face),
problematic skin with acne,
preparation for medium/deep chemical peels, plastic surgeries, as well as rehabilitation after them.

Local fat deposits on the face are a separate big topic, which we discussed in the article on. Nevertheless, it must be said that the use of lipolytics in combination with drainage drugs is also indicated in complex rejuvenation programs for patients with deformational (edematous) type of aging, making it possible to reduce the volume of soft tissues, the depth of folds, and the severity of gravitational ptosis.

Speaking about mesotherapy for acne, it is worth noting that injections of mesopreparations can only bring the patient out of an exacerbation, reducing the number and severity of inflammatory elements. But as for after acne, fractional mesotherapy (using DermaPen or a mesoscooter) works better here. By the way, the same situation is with stretch marks on the body - classical injection mesotherapy is completely ineffective here, and fractional mesotherapy is quite the opposite.

Features of facial mesotherapy and its differences from biorevitalization -

Many patients do not understand how mesotherapy differs from biorevitalization, because in principle these are very similar techniques, which use both the same injection techniques and similar active components. But nevertheless, these differences are very important, and will allow you to decide how suitable one or another method is for you. The main differences lie in the characteristics of the drugs used, so let's take a closer look at how mesopreparations differ from biorevitalizants.

The first difference is that mesotherapeutic preparations use much lower concentrations of active components. For example, in mesopreparations the concentration of hyaluronic acid (HA) is usually 0.3-0.5% (rarely up to 0.8-1.0%), and in biorevitalizants it is most often no less than 1.8-2.0%. The second difference is that mesopreparations contain, as a rule, low molecular weight HA (with a molecular size of 200-800 kDa), while biorevitalizants contain high molecular weight HA, from 1800 to 3000 kDa.

It should be noted that what larger size molecules of hyaluronic acid, the more pronounced the moisturizing effect of the drug on the skin will be, and secondly, the slower the HA molecules will be destroyed under the influence of the enzyme hyaluronidase, which means the effect of the drug will last longer. The third difference concerns the form of release of the drugs. Mesopreparations are produced on a water or sol basis (sol - liquid gel), which means rapid distribution in tissues, as well as very rapid elimination.

That is why mesotherapy procedures on the face and neck are done once a week. But biorevitalizants are always produced in the form of viscous gels, which improves the deposition of active substances at the site of each injection. The gel will dissolve more slowly, which means the active substances in its composition will act on the tissue longer. Therefore, biorevitalizants are usually administered once every 2 weeks, but there are preparations containing stabilized HA that can be administered only once every 3-4 weeks.

Important : Thus, for biorevitalization, drugs are used that allow achieving more intense rejuvenation (the cost of biorevitalizants is many times higher than the cost of mesopreparations). Based on all of the above, you should understand why the cost of 1 mesotherapy procedure usually starts from 2,500 rubles, and biorevitalization - on average from 9,000 rubles or more for 1 procedure. The different properties of the drugs create differences in the frequency and number of procedures.

For example, mesopreparations are done once a week, and in patients 35+ the course will usually consist of 10-12 procedures, while biorevitalizants are done once every 2-3 weeks, and the course will consist of 3 to 7 procedures (depending on the severity of age-related changes). As for relatively young patients who seek prevention or only minor correction of changes, short courses of mesotherapy will be preferable for them. But for patients 45+ (and even more so after menopause), mesopreparations will no longer work at all.

Mesotherapy and types of skin aging: important

From the outside it may seem that mesotherapy is a very simple technique - you just need to take a more expensive drug with a large number of active ingredients and inject it over the entire area of the face and neck. And so several times, and continue to wait for the onset of rejuvenation. And it seemed like everything was done, but for some reason rejuvenation never came.

Of course, perhaps you initially had too high expectations from the course of mesotherapy, and you refused biorevitalization due to price considerations. However, it is also possible that the treatment was carried out without taking into account individual characteristics, for example, the type of skin aging. For Russian women There are 2 main types of aging: first of all, deformation (edematous) and finely wrinkled types of aging. But, of course, no one has canceled the mixed and tired types of aging either.

1. Finely wrinkled type of aging –

The finely wrinkled type of aging is characterized by thin, dehydrated skin, as well as the early appearance of wrinkles, including a large number of small facial wrinkles around eyes. Typically, this type of aging is associated primarily with photoaging of the skin, i.e. influence of solar radiation. A characteristic sign of photoaging is the presence of hyperpigmentation and rosacea on the facial skin.

With this type of aging, the use of hyaluronic acid (HA) will be a priority, but the drug, of course, must contain other active components. For example, if, against the background of thinning and dry skin, you have hyperpigmentation and spider veins, then in addition to HA, the drug must contain: vitamin C, antioxidants (glutathione, coenzyme Q10 or thioctic acid), cysteine or brightening peptides. A drug with this composition will also be indicated before traveling to hot countries.

If we are talking about aging skin, then after 30 years, in addition to hyaluronic acid, a full complex of B vitamins and antioxidants, the preparation should preferably contain amino acids involved in the synthesis of collagen - these are proline, glycine and lysine. In patients 30-35+, it is already quite possible to use regulatory peptides, and in patients 40+ (in addition to all of the above), periodic use of nucleotides is already indicated, i.e. DNA-RNA complexes.

Moreover, after 30-35 years (even with this type of aging) to achieve good effect– it is important to use vascular and drainage drugs several times during the course of mesotherapy. This is necessary to stimulate lymphatic drainage and microcirculation. But in patients 45+, and especially after menopause, mesopreparations will practically not work at all. What is needed here are those that contain high concentrations of HA, nucleotides, growth factors (stimulating the proliferation of fibroblasts), as well as matrikin peptides that stimulate collagen synthesis.

There are a large number of worthy mesopreparations, but to make this more indicative, we will take the line of drugs from the Mesopharm company, plus we will present several drugs from the Dermaheal line (South Korean company CAREGEN). These are all not too expensive drugs, and at the same time quite decent, with a good price/quality ratio. So what mesopreparations will we use for the fine-wrinkle type of aging, including therapy and prevention of photoaging.

1) –

A drug with an excellent composition, which contains not only HA to moisturize the skin, but also a large number of components for the treatment and prevention of hyperpigmentation and rosacea, antioxidants to reduce oxidative stress against the background of solar radiation. This drug is well suited for rejuvenation programs for patients with fine wrinkle type, as well as for improving appearance the skin of smokers, or if you have arrived or are just planning to visit hot countries.

The cost of a 4.0 ml P-Shine bottle is about 600 rubles. In patients under 30 years of age, it can be used as a course of monotherapy; in patients 30+, it will be better to combine it with drugs from the Hydro Line Extra line, and in patients 35-40+, add nucleotides to these drugs (for example, the drug ADN Restart HA”), as well as peptides and B vitamins – the drug “Hydro Line Peptide”.

2) –

This is a typical drug intended to correct age-related changes in patients from 30-35 to 45 years old. After this age (and even more so after menopause), the drug will not work, and biorevitalizants/bioreparants will be needed. The cost is about 1300 rubles per 4.0 ml bottle. This drug also has a cheaper version - with 0.5% hyaluronic acid, but otherwise the composition will be the same (Hydro Line drug), and the cost of a 4.0 ml bottle is about 700 rubles.

3) –

Nucleotides (DNA-RNA complexes) are one of the the best means fight against wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, are used in programs for the treatment and prevention of photoaging, but only for aging skin 35-40+ (drugs with nucleotides do not work in young people). These preparations are especially good for working with delicate areas, such as the neck or eye area. The cost of a 4.0 ml bottle is about 800 rubles. This drug also has a version without hyaluronic acid - “ADN Restart 2%”.

4) –

The manufacturer positions this drug as “luxury mesotherapy.” If you look at the composition, you can really see that the drug contains high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which can usually only be found in preparations for biorevitalization. This is a drug for correcting age-related changes in patients from 30 to 50 years old. In addition to vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants, which are also found in previous complexes, this preparation contains regulatory peptides that directly stimulate collagen synthesis. The cost of a 2.0 ml syringe is about 1,400 rubles.

5) Dermaheal HSR –

This drug is from CAREGEN (South Korea). We present it as an alternative to Mesopharm drugs. It has a very rich composition and is suitable for patients from 30 to 50 years old. A bottle of 5 ml, cost about 1000 rubles.

2. Deformation (edematous) type of aging –

This type of aging is the most common among Russian women. It is characterized by thick skin, a small number of wrinkles, but at the same time quite pronounced nasolabial folds. In addition, it is characterized by pastiness, a large volume of subcutaneous fat, shaving in the lower third of the face, a double chin, as well as gravitational ptosis of soft tissues. There may also be a vascular component – rosacea and/or a tendency to edema.

This type of aging develops due to impaired venous outflow in the face and neck, and is provoked primarily by problems with the cervical spine. Impaired venous outflow leads to interstitial edema of the dermis and especially subcutaneous fat (increasing its volume), as well as impaired lymphatic drainage and microcirculation. Swelling of soft tissues increases their mass, and any mass obeys the law of gravity, i.e. welcome gravitational ptosis. If such patients are given drugs with GC, this will further increase the swelling and mass of the soft tissues of the face.

Therefore, in patients with deformational/edematous type of aging, capillary mesotherapy (lymphatic drainage vascular injection) takes first place, as well as, according to indications, the use of soft lipolytics in the area of fat packets of the face and double chin. For capillary mesotherapy, combinations of vascular and drainage drugs are used - “Gingko Biloba”, “Artichoke”, “Rutin + meliloto extract”, “GAG Complex DVL Capyl formula”. Injections are given according to massage lines face, in the projection of all regional lymph nodes of the face and neck, and necessarily in the area of the cervical-collar zone.

The ideal option is also along the spine along paravertebral lines, i.e. This will additionally be the so-called main vascular puncture. Thus, in the first 2-3 procedures, it is worth doing only vascular/drainage drugs + mild lipolytics according to indications. Next (in the remaining procedures of the course) - we still continue to do capillary mesotherapy at the beginning of each procedure + we include mesopreparations based on nucleotides, regulatory peptides, vitamin C and all B vitamins, and you can also use DMAE.

But keep in mind that DMAE (dimethylethanolamine) provides a powerful but short-lived lifting. He does this by increasing the tone of facial muscles. As for hyaluronic acid, it can be added only at the final stage of treatment - in the last 2 procedures, and only in small concentrations (website). The total duration of a course of mesotherapy for deformation type of aging is 10-12 procedures, with an interval of 1 time per week.

What mesopreparations do we use?

As you already understand, for the treatment of deformation (edematous) type we use primarily vascular and drainage drugs - “Gingko Biloba”, “Artichoke”, “Rutin + meliloto extract”, “GAG Complex DVL Capyl formula”. They are used both on the face and always in the cervical-collar area. Soft lipolytics such as “Phito Slim” or “Lipo Stop” - according to indications (in combination with drainage drugs). Next, we include drugs with nucleotides, peptides, vitamins and antioxidants, DMAE.

There are not many drugs for correcting deformity type, and anything that contains hyaluronic acid (HA) will, as a rule, be contraindicated. HA can be used only during the last 3-4 procedures of the course of treatment and only in small concentrations up to 0.5-0.8%.

1) –

As we said above, injections of mesopreparations are made using a syringe and very thin needles 30, 31 or 32G (needle diameter 32G = only 0.23 mm). In mesotherapy, there are 4 main injection techniques - nappage, papules, tubercles, and linear-retrograde technique. Anesthesia will be required before the procedure begins. Pain relief during mesotherapy of the face and neck is carried out using a cream or gel based on the anesthetic lidocaine (in concentrations from 5 to 12%). The cream is applied to the face under the film for 20 minutes.

Above, we already told you about lymphatic drainage vascular injection of the face and neck (capillary mesotherapy), which is necessary to activate lymphatic drainage and blood supply to the skin. This is necessary both for patients with finely wrinkled type of skin aging, and especially for deformational/edematous type of aging. But if with the finely wrinkled type the vascular injection is done only in the first 1-3-5 procedures (we look at the condition of the skin and age), then with the deformation type the vascular injection should be done in each of the 10-12 procedures.

Lymphatic drainage vascular puncture technique –

During mesotherapy of the face and neck, a vascular puncture will activate the regional lymph nodes of this area, improve lymphatic drainage, relieve swelling of the dermis and subcutaneous fat, strengthen the walls of blood vessels, and also reduce the volume of fat bags on the face and neck. For example, your wrinkles, jowls or double chin will also be reduced. For vascular/lymphatic drainage injection, drugs such as “GAG Complex DVL Capyl formula”, “Gingko Biloba”, “Artichoke”, “Rutin + melito extract” are used.

Small injections are made into certain areas: the entire cervical-collar area (to the level of the shoulder blades), on the face and neck - in the projection of all groups of lymph nodes. If there is a large volume of fat on the face and neck, we can also pierce the middle/lower third of the face along the massage lines + the entire second chin. The volume of vascular preparations for 1 procedure is 5 ml. And only after this (in the second part of each procedure) we do injections of mesopreparations aimed at rejuvenation.

Another option is not to use age-correction drugs at all during the first 2-3 procedures, but to combine vascular lymphatic drainage injection on the face and cervical-collar area with the use of soft lipolytics. Lipolytic injections are made in the area of excess fat, such as lip bags, nasolabial folds, jowls and double chin. And starting from the 3-4th procedure, we begin to combine vascular drugs with mesopreparations intended for age correction.

Mesotherapy injection techniques –

There are only a few of these techniques, and below you can read not only their descriptions, but also see videos demonstrating them. Please note that injection techniques in mesotherapy and biorevitalization are completely the same, so do not be embarrassed if the term biorevitalization sometimes appears in the videos below. The process of injecting the mesopreparation usually takes no more than 15-20 minutes (not including time for lymphatic drainage vascular injection, anesthesia, and a regenerating mask after the procedure).

1) “Nappage” technique(superficial, middle, deep) –
with superficial nappage, the tip of the needle does not penetrate the dermis, i.e. the doctor works only at the depth of the epidermis, which will mean the absence of blood discharge from the needle insertion points. This technique is characterized by too much consumption of the drug, which must dry on its own. In theory, this should help the active substances penetrate the dermis, but in fact this is the most ineffective of mesotherapy techniques.

The median nappage technique is much more effective, and in this case microdoses of the drug will enter the upper layers of the dermis to a depth of 1-1.5 mm (hence, there will definitely be blood dew from the injection sites). With each needle insertion, only 1 drop of the drug is released, which usually does not cause the formation of papules, or they quickly disappear. But the deep nappage technique is used in patients with thick skin and is distinguished by the fact that the needle is inserted already at 2-3 mm.

Nappage: superficial (video 1) and middle (video 2)

2) "Papules" technique(superficial or medium) –
This technique involves injections into the upper or middle layers of the dermis, so that at the site of each injection a “papule” will appear, which looks like a raised area above the surface of the skin. The size of the papules will depend on the volume of mesopreparation injected into the tissue at each needle insertion point. Papules can be small (about 1-2 mm) - in this case they are called micropapules. The volume of the drug at each point will be about 0.01-0.02 ml, and the distance between them will be from 0.3 to 0.5 cm. Such papules are made in areas with thin skin, for example, in the periorbital zone.

In areas with denser skin, papules are made to a standard size, i.e. with a diameter of 3-4 mm. The volume of the drug at each point will be about 0.03-0.04 ml, and the distance between injections will be about 1.0-1.5 cm. Keep in mind that the larger the papules, the slower they will dissolve. Usually papules disappear within 2-3 days, less often - up to 5-7 days. Sometimes papules can take up to 2-3 weeks to resolve, but this is usually due to a doctor’s mistake (when a cosmetologist administered a drug based on stabilized HA in the form of standard papules, which cannot be done).

Papule technique: video

3) Lumpy technique –
if the previous technique involves introducing mesopreparations at an angle of 15 degrees to the surface of the skin (into the superficial and middle layers of the dermis), then in this case the drug is injected with a 32G needle at an angle of 45 degrees to the entire depth of the needle. In this case, the drug depot is created in the deep layers of the dermis, at a depth of approximately 3 mm. This technique is distinguished by the absence of elevations on the surface of the skin in the form of papules, and after the procedure only traces of needle injections will be visible. However, this technique has a greater risk of hematomas.

4) Linear-retrograde technique –
Technically, this technique is the most complex, and it came to mesotherapy from contour plastic surgery. If for all previous techniques 4 mm needles are most often used, here they are 12-13 mm long. After injection, the needle moves into the dermis parallel to the surface of the skin over its entire length. The drug is eliminated when the needle moves backwards in a retrograde manner. This is the most efficient technique mesotherapy, although it is more traumatic. But the fact is that in this case, additional trauma to the dermis is a plus - the body responds to it with regeneration and an increase in collagen synthesis.

Facial mesotherapy before and after: photos, reviews

On the websites of cosmetology clinics you will almost never find real photos before and after facial mesotherapy, because... To sell procedures, clinics only post photos of successful treatment cases, or even more often, they post photos of patients after hardware rejuvenation techniques - as if they had undergone a course of mesotherapy. However, you should know 2 important points. Firstly, the effectiveness of the same drug (even though the same number of procedures were performed) can vary greatly in different patients.

And secondly, facial mesotherapy, by definition, is much weaker than biorevitalization, and therefore it cannot achieve very pronounced changes, especially if you have aged but well-groomed skin. But if you have never paid much attention to your facial skin before, the effect of mesotherapy will certainly be obvious. Below we present cases of clinical treatment in patients aged 35+ and 45+.

Example #1 –

Shows the effectiveness of facial mesotherapy with a single preparation of hyaluronic acid. The following photographs are taken from an independent clinical study. Each patient was injected with 2.0 ml of Restylane Vital (a monopreparation of 2% partially stabilized hyaluronic acid) during 1 procedure. Moreover, the course of treatment consisted of 3 procedures performed with an interval of 4 weeks.

Facial mesotherapy: before and after photos

As you can see, the effect of using even a single course of hyaluronic acid in patients aged 35 and 46 years is practically not noticeable. Such drugs, in our opinion, are best used to prevent aging at a younger age, but not for age correction.

Example No. 2 –

The following photos were taken by cosmetologist Victoria Petrovskaya. The patient underwent a course of 4 procedures (with a frequency of 1 time every 2 weeks). At the beginning of each procedure, a lymphatic drainage vascular injection was first performed with the drug “GAG Complex DVL Capyl”. Then, for each procedure, the mesopreparation “Hydro Line P-Anti-wrinkles” was used for the periorbital area, and “Hydro Line Peptide” was used for all other areas of the face. The after photos were taken after the second procedure.

Example No. 3 –

The photographs below were taken by cosmetologist E. Kuvshinnikova. The patient underwent a course of 5 procedures. The first 3 procedures used the drug "Hydro Line" (with a frequency of 1 time - every 7-10 days), and in the last 2 procedures - the meso drug "Hydro Line Peptide" (with a frequency of 1 time in 2 weeks). Capillar mesotherapy was not carried out, but, of course, a positive effect was achieved. But in the following example you can see how effective biorevitalizants or their combinations with mesopreparations can be.

Example No. 4 –

The photos below were taken by cosmetologist Irina Pyagai. The patient underwent a course of eight procedures (with a frequency of 1 time in 10 days). At the beginning of each procedure, a lymphatic drainage vascular injection was first performed with the drug “GAG Complex DVL Capyl”. After this, rejuvenation drugs were used in each of the eight procedures. Please note that in this course of treatment a combination of biorevitalizants (in the first 5 procedures) and mesopreparations was used in the last 3 procedures.

6,7,8 procedures – mesopreparation “Nucleospire DNA-RNA 1% DM Peptide”.

How much does facial mesotherapy cost – price 2019

If you decide to undergo facial mesotherapy, the price for 1 procedure will depend on the cost of the drugs administered, as well as the pricing policy of the clinic. In advertising you can often see that for facial mesotherapy the cost of 1 procedure starts from only 2,500 rubles, however, if we are talking about high-quality drugs, then this amount is only the minimum cost of consumables.

For example, we decided to do a lymphatic drainage vascular injection with the drug “GAG Complex DVL Capyl”. Only its cost at the beginning of 2019 will be 300 rubles. Then we take the cost of one of the above drugs - this is another 800 to 1400 rubles. You also need all kinds of consumables (several expensive 30 and 32G needles for injections, sterile sheets, gloves, the cost of anesthesia and many other little things) - that’s another few hundred rubles. Thus, 1600-2000 rubles is only the cost of materials.

But prices should take into account the costs of training a mesotherapist, and rent, and depreciation of equipment, and wages. Typically, for frequent cosmetologists the markup is + 100-150%, and for private cosmetology clinics the markup is + 150-200% (to the cost of all consumables). Thus, the normal price, for example, for the above complex with vascular injection and the drug “Hydro Line Extra” should be at least 4000-4500 rubles.

Important : but if we take more expensive drugs from the series of biorevitalizants, for example, “Nucleospire DNA-RNA 2%” (2.0 ml), only the cost of which is 4000 rubles, then the final cost of the service together with the vascular injection should not cost less than 9000 rubles . And here we gradually come to the question of why some patients have negative reviews of mesotherapy, and they say that it does not work. Yes, simply because, for example, cosmetologists almost never perform capillary mesotherapy on patients.

The latter takes a lot of time (and time is money), plus it takes a long time to explain to patients why this is needed at all. It's easier not to do it at all. Secondly, the correct drugs and their combinations are not always used - which we told you so much about above. As a rule, this is due to the low qualifications of specific mesotherapists. Well, as we have already said, in older patients with well-groomed skin Mesotherapy of the neck and face will not give a good effect; other drugs are needed.

Mesotherapy at home –

Mesotherapy at home is possible using special devices. The most effective is the use of a fractional mesotherapy device called DermaPen. This device is easy to use and costs only 6,000 rubles, which is quite a bit compared to the cost of a full course of mesotherapy. A cheaper version of this device are mesoscooters.

The latter are also effective for solving aesthetic problems, but due to some features of mesoscooters (you can read about them at the link below) - when used regularly, they lead to roughening of the facial skin. But the use of DermaPen does not lead to such consequences. In addition, both of these devices for fractional mesotherapy are more effective from atrophic scars after acne than the classic injection technique. However, you can get the maximum effect here - from a combination of DermaPen + injections of nucleotides and matrikin peptides.

The appearance of the first wrinkles is inevitable and from this moment a woman begins a period of struggle with the signs of old age. Such changes lead to a decrease in self-esteem and the appearance of complexes. Some people buy tons of “rejuvenating” creams, some take it for granted, while the rest go to a cosmetology office for a facial mesotherapy procedure.

Facial treatment with hyaluronic acid is one of the most popular rejuvenation methods, based on scientific developments aimed at preserving youth and attractiveness.

Facial mesotherapy - what is the essence of the procedure?

The essence of the procedure is the introduction under the skin of the components of the drug based on hyaluronic acid, which affects the regenerative properties of the epidermis at the cellular level. The effectiveness of the technique is confirmed by reviews of patients and cosmetologists, but the result is achieved when the sessions are systematically carried out in a course. Microinjections contain minimal doses of the mesotherapy cocktail, so you cannot count on instant success.

In addition to the classic, injection method of introducing hyaluronic acid, non-injection is also widely used. It is designed for patients who are afraid of injections or with low blood clotting, when mechanical damage to the skin is unacceptable. Facial mesotherapy, according to research, is used by 15% of women over 35 years of age.

The effectiveness of mesotherapy

The effectiveness of the procedure depends on the following factors:

peculiarity of the patient’s body;
state skin;
degree of age-related changes;
quality of the selected drug;
qualification of the cosmetologist performing the procedure.

Anti-aging is only a small part of the many benefits of hyaluronic acid therapy. The amount of active substances in the composition of the drug for facial mesotherapy allows you to fight cosmetic flaws. The solution is injected in small doses directly into the problem area, promoting targeted action.

Therapy is permissible no more than once a week.

Types of mesotherapy

In cosmetology, several types of techniques are used to achieve results. They differ in the method of getting the drug under the skin - injection and non-injection;

Injection mesotherapy for face

The classic method of conducting a session is by administering the drug using a needle. The cocktail of active substances is administered pointwise according to the marked scheme. There are two injection techniques:

manual, using a syringe with a microneedle;
fractional mesotherapy.

The essence of the method of fractional mesotherapy of the face is the simultaneous exposure, using a device for fractional mesotherapy, of a certain number of needles on one area. The use of the device increases the cost of the procedure, but the advantages outweigh it. The method is not suitable for treating delicate areas: eyes, neck, nose

The innovative development of cosmetologists allows the composition to be introduced without damaging the skin. The components enter the layers of the epidermis under the influence of additional stimulating devices. The non-injection method is divided into types:

cryomesotherapy (use of cold and electric waves);
laser therapy;
iontophoresis (current);
magnetophoresis (magnetic waves);
oxygen facial mesotherapy;
ultraphonophoresis (ultrasound);
aquaphoresis (laser, electric waves, lymphatic drainage).

The non-invasive technique allows people who are contraindicated for injections or those who are simply afraid of injections to undergo the procedure. However, the exposure process requires a larger number of sessions, since the depth of penetration of the substance is insignificant.

Preparations for mesotherapy are divided according to their effect on the epidermis - some of the drugs are aimed at improving the general condition of the skin, others for nutrition or a lifting effect (eutrophic effect), and others for weight loss (lipolytics).
