Mesotherapy of the scalp: painful but effective

Injection mesotherapy – painful or not?

Some patients may experience unbearable pain, while for others it is no more painful than mosquito bites. It all depends on the pain threshold of the patients. Many of them do not even want to use anesthetic cream. In addition, some areas of the face easily accept injections, while others instantly react even to a mosquito bite. However, the question of whether mesotherapy is painful should not worry potential clients of beauty salons. Cosmetologists perform all injection procedures under local anesthesia - anesthetic cream.

What problems does mesotherapy solve?

With the help of mesotherapy you can really achieve serious results:

• rejuvenate and smooth the skin,

Probably every woman knows about the importance of hydration and the harmful effects of dryness and lack of water, both in the skin and throughout the body. Everyone has already heard about hyaluronic acid and its beneficial properties. So, these injections of hyaluronic acid are done using a mesotherapy procedure - the introduction of small doses of acid into certain places with a mesotherapy device. Simply put, we know about the beneficial properties of certain substances. Mesotherapy is a way to deliver these substances. Beneficial substances are located in the deep layers of the skin and are consumed gradually, which allows you to achieve better results. A result that the best quality cream cannot achieve.

It should be noted that in addition to aesthetic problems, mesotherapy also fights serious diseases, such as pain, dermatological diseases, neuralgic ailments, inflammation, vascular problems and other diseases.

Mesotherapy is often used in combination with other procedures and treatments. Let's say that with its help you can significantly reduce your double chin. But here mesortherapy can speed up the process and only help. For example, a person intensively loses weight, does facial exercises, undergoes massage procedures and supplements all this with mesotherapy. Introduces drugs that accelerate processes under the skin, help break down fat faster, and moisturize the skin.

The skin becomes not only firm, but also elastic. It acquires a beautiful healthy color. More detailed information about the recovery period can be obtained from specialists at the OB clinic.

Procedure of the week: how I did mesotherapy for the first time

BeautyHack columnist Marina Syutaeva tested mesotherapy at the Clinical Institute of Aesthetic Medicine (KIEM) and shared her impressions.

“Oh, you have some dots here! - my hairdresser friend says in surprise, applying hair dye to me somewhere near my right ear. – Beauty experiments again? Yeah, three days ago I decided to have a mesotherapy session for the first time in my life. I'll tell you in order.

BEFORE

At the beginning of summer, in addition to my main place of work, I, as an incorrigible workaholic, took on another interesting - but very labor- and time-consuming freelance project. And after several months of living in a work-work-work mode with virtually no breaks for sleep or lunch, I discovered that my skin had turned into something terrible.

Just six months ago, tender, smooth, radiant, it became dull, flabby, with obvious signs of sagging, deep wrinkles in the area of ​​the nasolabial folds and around the lips - this is exactly the kind of skin that is called “lifeless”. As an advanced beauty editor, I first went to an endocrinologist (I’ll describe this useful experience later) and, on his recommendation, underwent a bunch of tests.

But, of course, while the test results are being prepared, therapy is prescribed, month after month the indicators return to normal - in any case, you need to do something with your face so as not to be afraid of your reflection in the mirror. In general, I wanted to act quickly, so I decided on a mesotherapy session.

I think everyone already knows what mesotherapy is, but just in case, let me remind you: this is an injection technique in which cocktails based on a complex of vitamins, amino acids, peptides, and hyaluronic acid are injected into the skin. The purpose of this mix is ​​noble - to moisturize, strengthen, tone tired skin, restore its radiance and freshness, and properly energize it.

And for me, mesotherapy was a good reason to finally visit the famous KIEM - Clinical Institute of Aesthetic Medicine on Novy Arbat. Without delay, I sign up for the procedure and go to an appointment with dermatocosmetologist Elena Ivanova. I voice all my problems to the doctor, and at the same time warn that, according to allergy tests done several years ago, I may be allergic to lidocaine.

This is a difficult moment, because the local anesthetic that is used for injections is based on this substance. Then Elena does a test: she applies a little anesthetic cream to the thin skin of the wrist, plus she invites the director of the clinic, Andrei Alenichev, for a consultation. The three of us discuss options and monitor my skin's reaction. No reaction occurs within an hour - you can proceed to the procedure.

Taking into account my wishes and after a careful examination of the skin, we choose a drug for mesotherapy. My skin needs not just hydration, but also a pronounced anti-aging effect: smooth out wrinkles, increase elasticity and density, strengthen facial contours. Therefore, we stop at the drug “Meso-Warton R199”. It is designed to correct the first signs of skin aging. Contains:

• hyaluronic acid;
• growth factors;
• vitamins A and groups B, C, E, K;
• amino acids, nucleic acids;
• coenzymes;
• peptides (thioredoxin, copper-containing tripeptide and the author's development of Wharton's Jelly Peptide P199 oligopeptide).

Elena cleanses my skin of makeup, then applies anesthetic cream. I lie there for about 15 minutes, feeling how my lips, cheekbones, chin, and then everywhere are gradually going numb. Begin. Elena makes injections in “even rows”. Around the eyes I don’t feel anything at all, in the area of ​​the chin and cheekbones the sensations are tolerable, but around the lips it really hurts. From time to time I look at myself in the mirror - nothing terrible is reflected there, just red dots. I apply a block of ice to the injection sites to reduce the slight feeling of burning and heat.

Elena also injects a certain amount of the drug into the nasolabial folds and along the contour of the lips (spoiler: the wrinkles there will be smoothed out, but not for long; fillers are still needed for the full effect).

The actual injections do not last long, less than half an hour. After which the doctor applies a fabric mask impregnated with hyaluronic acid to me - this will give the skin an additional supply of moisture and help calm me down after the invasive procedure.

After a meso session, it is not recommended to actively engage in sports, visit the bathhouse or sauna - otherwise the elimination of the drug will accelerate. It is better not to apply makeup during the day after mesotherapy, but you can and should treat the skin in the evening with a cotton pad soaked in a chlorhexidine solution.

I left the clinic with a face as if I had been stung by a whole swarm of bees at once: my skin turned red and quite large papules swollen on it. Well, just the Frog Princess. After a couple of hours, the swelling subsided, the papules turned into red dots. The next morning, all this had disappeared without a trace, except that tiny bruises were visible here and there, which indicates weakness of the capillaries. The skin is smooth, even, not a single hint of yesterday’s frog style.

As Elena Ivanova warned, the maximum effect of the procedure appeared after a couple of weeks. Moreover, he had to do this in extreme circumstances: I was hospitalized with my three-year-old daughter, and even in a small room, where the old-school cast-iron central heating radiator was boiling with might and main, my skin managed not to turn into a piece of parchment. And my “sore spot” - nasolabial folds and emerging purse-string wrinkles - looked less deep. But I’ll still do fillers, now I’m not afraid of injections and I know that I can tolerate lidocaine adequately.

AFTER

Now, after a month, I am still pleased with the result. The face is fresher, the usual feeling of tightness after washing has not made itself felt for a long time. Moreover, I can easily forget about the cream - but my skin will look great. This suits me.
