Fractional lip mesotherapy and its features
Fractional lip mesotherapy is carried out using a special device that has thin microneedles only 0.2-0.3 mm long. It allows the skin to recover faster and differs from laser in having more gentle consequences.
Methodology
The procedure consists of several stages:
- Removing skin impurities.
- Additional peeling.
- Applying a cocktail or a special serum to the dermis, the composition of the substance depends on the type of problem that needs to be eliminated.
- Exposure to a device with microneedles.
- Applying a soothing mask and spray.
- Then a cream is applied for a toning effect.
This is a gentle procedure that is as safe as possible for the skin. Depending on the thickness of the skin, a cartridge with needles of different sizes is selected.
Tints for the procedure
Special lip tints for fractional mesotherapy are pigments that create a special effect and are widely used in cosmetology. Their selection is carried out individually depending on the required color. Today, the most popular lip tint is “Tint KISSUM lips” as an alternative to permanent makeup. The set includes the richest shades, such as pink, scarlet and others.
Tints create so-called “kissed” lips, add volume, make them smooth and shiny. This is a way to adjust the shade and increase color saturation. The recommended course is 3-5 procedures with an interval of 2 weeks.
Result before and after
To ensure the effectiveness of lip mesotherapy, you can look at the before and after results. After the procedure, a long-lasting cosmetic effect occurs:

- wrinkles and creases in the nasolabial triangle are smoothed out;
- the desired shape appears;
- tone improves;
- the skin is smoothed;
- a long-term therapeutic effect occurs, which can last up to one year.
What is mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a procedure for the face and lips that involves the introduction of special meso-cocktails into the dermis or under the skin using a mesoinjector or a thin needle. This procedure is much more effective than external application of cosmetic creams, serums and masks. Since many useful components are not able to overcome the skin barrier, remaining on its surface. With the help of mesotherapy, you can deliver all the necessary substances to the deep layers of the dermis.
Mesococktails contain synthetic or natural substances similar to those produced in the body:
- hyaluronic acid;
- collagen;
- elastin;
- enzymes;
- vitamins;
- amino acids;
- microelements.
The cosmetologist selects the component depending on the problems of a particular patient. Thanks to a thin needle, nerve endings are stimulated, thereby accelerating the metabolic process in tissues. Next, the epidermis produces the necessary substances with the help of which regeneration occurs. To achieve a lasting effect, you need to complete a course consisting of at least 5 procedures. The intervals between sessions are 7 days.
Lip mesotherapy with toning effect
Toning lip mesotherapy is a romantic fashion trend due to its pronounced volume and stylish shades. At the same time, the lips look like after a light kiss, thanks to the “blurred” effect. It is achieved using fractional microneedling technique and the use of tints.
Lip mesotherapy with a toning effect allows you to shine at any moment of your life, even immediately after waking up. During the initial procedure, pigment is usually lightly sprayed in order to be able to saturate the brightness and intensity of the pigment during correction.
Non-injection procedure
An analogue of the injection procedure is the hardware one. During skin treatment, a special device is used that generates current pulses. They can be of two types:
- galvanic,
- low frequency.
Before starting such non-injection mesotherapy, a special vitamin cocktail is applied to the skin. Then the cosmetologist uses the device, under its influence the vitamins better penetrate the cell membranes and the water balance is restored.

Fractional mesotherapy is a modern method of facial rejuvenation, deservedly gaining popularity in recent years. Fractional facial mesotherapy has confidently replaced classical mesotherapy. What are the differences and advantages of fractional mesotherapy over classical facial rejuvenation techniques? —
Fractional facial mesotherapy is carried out with a special device with needle attachments from 12 - 36 - 42 micro needles. The method is based on skin perforation and the introduction of meso-cocktails through created microchannels. Unlike classical techniques, we get a double effect:
— The first effect of rejuvenation is associated with strictly dosed microtrauma. Microtraumas stimulate blood circulation, lymph flow and increased production of type I and III collagen. It is known that in adults, type I collagen (dense, fibrous) predominates in the skin, while in children, type III collagen predominates (elastic, with a large amount of elastin). After 35 years, the production of type I collagen also decreases... every 10 years by 10%...
— The second effect comes from special meso-cocktails selected according to the problem + hyaluronic acid. The main component of cocktails for fractional mesotherapy is hyaluronic acid, which, since its appearance in cosmetology, has established itself as the best anti-aging component. This is confirmed by biorevitalization (mesococtyls based on hyaluronic acid), which recently replaced classical mesotherapy (vitamins and microelements in their pure form).
Fractional mesotherapy, as a more modern rejuvenation technique, is devoid of the main unpleasant aspects of classical facial mesotherapy techniques:
— no pain during the procedure: instead of painful injections, you feel an active massage
— precise distribution of cocktail microdoses, evenly launching rejuvenation processes
- short rehabilitation period and absence of papules: rehabilitation period is 2-3 hours, during which there is pronounced hyperemia (redness) on the face
Modern fractional facial mesotherapy can replace several procedures:
— Mesopeeling: injection of AHA/BHA acids in minimal concentrations directly into the skin. There is no rehabilitation period associated with the renewal of the epidermis, injured by high concentrations of acids, as with classic peeling. ANA and BHA acids, which are part of the meso-cocktails, enter directly into the intended use through microchannels and actively work there: moisturize, stimulate collagen production, whiten and even out the relief.
— Mesotherapy: introduction of meso-cocktails - vitamins, microelements and amino acids necessary for the correct life and functioning of the skin.
— Revitalization: introduction of cocktails based on hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is the best dermal filler. It is this that fills the intercellular space of the dermis, retaining water and providing conditions for the production of collagen and elastin.
— Mesobotox: injection of muscle relaxants into the upper layers of the skin. Unlike the classical technique, botulinum therapy does not paralyze facial muscle expression, but gently smoothes out wrinkles, preserving the ability to show emotions on the face.
Mesobotox is suitable for those who:
— For some reason I am not ready for botulinum toxin injections
— To maintain the effect of Botox several months after administration of the drug
— To eliminate fine wrinkles throughout the face
