Facial mesotherapy is one of the most popular techniques that allows you to hide age-related changes on a girl’s sensitive skin. It is performed not only on the entire surface of the face, but also on its individual zones, one of which is the eyelids. Mesotherapy around the eyes allows you to eliminate expression lines, dark circles and pigmentation that appear as a result of photoaging.
What is the essence of mesotherapy for the skin around the eyes?
Using aggressive cosmetic procedures that involve the use of a syringe to administer beneficial drugs in the eyelid area is quite dangerous, which is associated with the increased sensitivity of the epidermis in this area. Eye mesotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure aimed at eliminating many age-related changes.
Eyelid mesotherapy involves the use of a unit with a large number of thin needles. They penetrate the skin structure and contribute to the uniform introduction of a beneficial meso-cocktail, the composition of which is selected individually based on the desired result.
The drug, which is administered subcutaneously during the technology, fills all folds and wrinkles, and also activates natural metabolic processes in epithelial cells. Due to this, you can notice a lifting effect after your first visit to the salon.
The effectiveness of mesotherapy
The advantages of manipulation include its effectiveness. Cosmetic manipulation simultaneously eliminates several problems:
- removes crow's feet;
- fights dark circles and bruises;
- moisturizes the skin;
- acceleration of metabolic processes;
- restores turgor and elasticity.
The main function is to restore thinned tissues and fill sagging areas with a fortified composition. Thus, leveling of the relief of the periorbital zone is achieved.
The drug is injected through the finest needles to a depth of up to 4 mm. All irregularities are filled. The aesthetic effect becomes noticeable after 2 days, when the pinpoint marks from microscopic punctures of the skin disappear.
The number of manipulations is determined by a specialist and depends on the age of the patient and the general condition of the integument. Lasting results are observed after 3-5 sessions, while creams and ointments must be used constantly.
If the manipulation is performed correctly (calculating the dose, determining the area of administration), the effect lasts for several months or more. It also depends on the number of sessions performed.
The benefits of mesotherapy include:
- painlessness;
- use of proven drugs;
- planning the procedure, which eliminates the development of complications.
Mesotherapy is not addictive. The selected product stimulates the production of fibrillar protein, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
Varieties
Regardless of where you are going to perform mesotherapy - at home or in the salon, pay attention to the choice of technology for introducing beneficial cocktails into the skin.
There are two methods:
- Injection. The classic version of mesotherapy, which has the highest efficiency. The drug is injected into the skin by puncturing it in many places.
- Non-injection. Most often used on sensitive, thin skin, which is easily damaged when performing injection mesotherapy. Here the drug is administered using special equipment that emits electromagnetic pulses.
When performing mesotherapy around the eyes, it is recommended to use non-injection technology, since it is less painful and does not injure the skin when administering meso-cocktails.
Types of mesotherapy
There are two ways to carry out the procedure - using injections and a cosmetic device.
The procedure is carried out using mesoinjection pistols, approved for use in medical practice in the Russian Federation. If the procedure is manual, a disposable insulin syringe with a volume of 1 ml or syringes with special needles with a diameter of no more than 0.4 mm are used.
A mesoscooter or mesoinjector reduces pain, the amount of cocktail is reduced, but does not allow targeted administration.
Local administration of drugs delivers nutrients to the desired area faster. The concentration of cocktail components in the pathological zone becomes maximum. Thanks to this, the products are used in low doses and at longer intervals.
During manual injection mesotherapy, the cosmetologist carefully places intradermal injections. Places where blood vessels pass are avoided. This technique takes longer. Manual mesotherapy lasts about 40 minutes.
There is also non-injection mesotherapy. This is one of the types of physiotherapy. Drugs are injected under the skin using heat, high pressure or electric current, or radiation.
First, the skin is treated with the selected medicine, then it is exposed to a special device that ensures deep penetration of the active substances. The procedure is painless and no anesthetic is required. The results are noticeable immediately, unlike injection mesotherapy.
Drugs
When performing mesotherapy in the salon, a special meso-cocktail is used, which is selected by the master individually for each client.
Such a cocktail may include the following components:
- Hyaluronic acid;
- Vitamins;
- Phospholipids;
- Minerals;
- Organic acids;
- Plant and animal extracts;
- Oils.
All components of the meso cocktail are absolutely safe and non-toxic, so they can be used even in the eyelid area.
Sometimes cosmetologists use ready-made preparations aimed at improving the quality of the skin in the treated area. They can also be used at home.
What it is?
Eye mesotherapy is a procedure designed to rejuvenate the skin of the periorbital area. It consists of introducing special injections into the periorbital area.
Each injection is individually selected with mixtures for each individual case .
As a result of the mesotherapy procedure in the eye area, you can:
- significantly strengthen the muscle frame;
- stimulate cellular synthesis;
- transform your face by lightening your skin color;
- increase tissue elasticity;
- remove swelling and bruises;
- eliminate age wrinkles;
- regain lost tone.
How is mesotherapy performed for the skin around the eyes?
A mesotherapy session always begins with cleansing the skin of makeup and impurities and treating it with a disinfectant solution of Chlorhexidine. When using injection technology, an anesthetic is additionally applied.
When performing non-injection mesotherapy, the skin treatment algorithm is as follows:
- A selected meso-cocktail in the form of a gel is applied to the area around the eyes.
- The cosmetologist points the device at a small area and waits 10-15 seconds, then the device moves to another area.
- At the end of the treatment, the remaining gel is removed from the skin, and it is re-treated with Chlorhexidine.
- A soothing lotion is applied to the skin.
One mesotherapy session typically lasts about twenty minutes, including preliminary skin preparation.
Description and essence of the procedure
The skin around the eyes is highly sensitive: it is four times thinner than the skin on the cheeks, around the lips and on the forehead, almost devoid of sebaceous glands, but at the same time it receives enormous loads every day. A person talks, laughs, cries, grimaces - all this primarily affects these areas of the face. Additionally, the condition of the skin is affected by:
- stress;
- chronic diseases;
- bad habits;
- spending a long time at the computer.
As a result, there is a violation of blood microcirculation in the blood vessels, the development of stagnation, insufficient hydration and nutrition of epidermal cells and a slowdown in regeneration processes. The skin becomes dull, dry, prone to irritation and early formation of wrinkles, black circles and swelling appear.
Folk remedies do not always help cope with the first signs of aging of the skin around the eyes, while mesotherapy easily solves the problem of bags and circles in this area
Eye mesotherapy helps strengthen the muscle frame, restores blood circulation, and intensively moisturizes dermal cells. The essence of the procedure is extremely simple: special preparations are injected into the problem area under the skin with a thin needle. They have a gel or liquid structure, due to which they are evenly distributed under the skin, fill all the unevenness and smooth and tighten the skin, which has lost its elasticity, and help get rid of wrinkles, swelling and bruises under the eyes.
In most cases, the following substances are used for administration:
- hyaluronic acid, saturating cells with moisture;
- vitamins and minerals that nourish the skin;
- antioxidants that help remove toxins and excess fluid.
This cocktail stimulates the production of collagen and elastane - substances responsible for elasticity, firmness, youth and beautiful skin color. With the help of meso you can quickly and permanently get rid of bags under the eyes, bruises and wrinkles. Moreover, the recovery period is much shorter than after blepharoplasty or other invasive rejuvenation methods. The photo shows what patients look like before and after the procedure.
At what age can you do mesotherapy for the skin around the eyes?
If we talk about the age at which mesotherapy can be performed in general, then cosmetologists recommend doing it from the age of 18. Since the technique involves creating many punctures in the skin, it cannot be performed in adolescence, which can lead to a hormonal surge.
Mesotherapy for the eyes itself will be most effective when the first wrinkles and other signs of photoaging appear. Most often, they begin to actively manifest themselves after 30 years.
However, even before the age of 30, you can have a cosmetic procedure for preventive purposes, making your skin young and toned.
Causes of bruises
Remember: any “invasion” of foreign objects inside your body will cause some kind of reaction from the body. And even though the needles used in mesotherapy are microscopically thin, when inserted they inevitably damage the smallest blood vessels, hence bruising, swelling and even hematomas. And it doesn’t matter whether you inject into the face and décolleté, into the stomach or buttock - the reasons for the side effects will be the same.
It turns out that when doing “beauty injections”, you need to know in advance and stock up on what helps or will help against such stagnant spots after bruises. After all, it all depends on the individual reaction of your skin to injections.

Possible side effects and complications after mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is considered an absolutely safe procedure regardless of the area where it is performed. This ensures that there are no negative consequences after it, provided that all prescribed recommendations and contraindications are followed.
However, side effects most often occur after eye mesotherapy. They manifest themselves in the form of local redness, swelling, and compaction in the puncture area. You may feel discomfort when touching your eyelids. Side effects usually subside within 1-3 days after mesotherapy.
If you experience itching, irritation and flaking of the skin, you should consult a dermatologist, as this may indicate an allergic reaction to the drug.
Reviews about the procedure
Most reviews about the effectiveness of mesotherapy contain positive information. On average, after 4 procedures, significant or complete restoration of the skin was observed (wrinkles were eliminated, blueness under the eyes was eliminated, and swelling was reduced). Side effects were extremely rare.
The most common disadvantage is the painfulness of the procedure (possibly due to the incorrect selection of an anesthetic or increased sensitivity of the skin). In general, according to reviews of the results achieved, mesotherapy scores 9 stars out of 10.
Mesotherapy allows you to eliminate expression lines and deep wrinkles around the eyes, which often occur after 35 years. Therefore, this procedure is recommended to be carried out no earlier than 30 years.
When choosing this method of rejuvenation, it is necessary to completely eliminate contraindications and correctly select the desired method of drug administration and its composition. An important role in the effectiveness of the procedure is played by the choice of salon and the qualifications of the specialist (this data can be found on the official website of the salon in reviews).

Recommendations for rehabilitation
After performing mesotherapy, pay attention to following the recommendations for caring for the treated area. They will not only increase the efficiency of absorption of nutrients, but also prevent the occurrence of consequences after visiting the salon.
The following recommendations must be followed:
- 4-5 hours after the procedure, do not wash your face or apply cosmetics to the treated area;
- For 7 hours after performing mesotherapy, stop smoking, drinking alcoholic beverages, energy drinks, and coffee;
- For 3 days, refuse to visit the bathhouse, sauna, or swimming pool;
- Avoid sunbathing during the mesotherapy course.
You should also stop taking blood thinning medications, since a low blood clotting rate is one of the contraindications to undergoing mesotherapy.
Carrying out mesotherapy
Each case is individual. The cosmetologist selects suitable components aimed at solving a specific problem.
Procedure for performing mesotherapy:
- After cleansing the skin, local anesthesia is performed. The procedure is not painful, but not very pleasant either. An ointment is used as an anesthetic, which takes effect 20–30 minutes after application.
- The injection points are determined by a cosmetologist, taking into account the condition of the skin. It is important to find a good specialist; any mistake will lead to serious swelling and encapsulation of the medicine in the skin.
- Injections are performed in 0.1 ml increments under the eyes. The duration of the procedure is 30 minutes. During one manipulation, 10–20 cubes of the drug are administered.
- The procedure is completed by applying a cotton sponge with an antiseptic. Then ice is applied for 2 minutes, this will prevent swelling.
The frequency of sessions depends on the characteristics of the skin. The procedures are performed in courses that consist of 5–8 sessions. The interval between procedures is 7–10 days. Then maintenance procedures are needed 1-2 times a month.
Can it be done at home?
As a standard, mesotherapy is considered an absolutely safe technique, which girls often perform on their own at home. However, when working with the area around the eyelids, it is worth contacting a specialist.
If you are planning to use injection mesotherapy, the wrong choice of puncture site can lead to serious consequences, as well as the radiation of electromagnetic waves when undergoing a non-injection technique.
Only to ensure the safety of manipulations should you contact a cosmetologist.
