The use of conventional skin care creams is almost a thing of the past today.

Modern advances in medical technology make it possible to use meso-cocktails for the face as a care product at home.

If you want to know what facial mesotherapy at home is, stay on this page of the women’s website “Beautiful and Successful”: we have collected for you all the necessary information on this topic.

Purpose of application

Mesococktails can be used not only on the face, but also throughout the body, including the head, which significantly increases the range of problem solutions.

With the help of a specially selected composition, it is possible to compensate for the lack of vitamins and minerals and nourish the skin with useful components at the cellular level.

Mesotherapy is indicated in the following cases:

• active hair loss or complete baldness;
• stretch marks, scars, scars;
• cellulite;
• symptoms of “smoker's skin”;
• general unsatisfactory skin condition (excessive oily/dry skin);
• hyperpigmentation;
• regenerative function disorders;
• lymphostasis;
• predisposition to edema;
• dry hair and weakness of hair follicles;
• presence of freckles;
• acne, blackheads, acne;
• post-acne;
• fat deposits;
• skin flap stretching;
• unhealthy complexion;
• wrinkles;
• noticeable on the surface of the vascular network.

Indications for the use of meso cocktails

Procedures for the introduction of meso-cocktails with hyaluronic acid under the skin of the face are usually prescribed as courses, and there are a number of indications for this:

• Initial signs of age-related skin changes;

• Static and facial wrinkles;
• Increased pigmentation;
• Cuperosis;
• Seborrhea;
• Peeling and dryness of the dermis;
• Bruises and swelling under the eyes;
• Subcutaneous pimples and acne;
• Lumpiness of the skin;
• Dull and sallow-gray complexion.

Typically, clients are most interested in whether this method of rejuvenation has an age limit. Yes, if meso-cocktails are prescribed to combat wrinkles, then they are recommended only after 35 years. But to get rid of seborrhea, extensive pimples and acne, a cosmetologist may recommend mesotherapy before reaching this age.

Compositions of drugs

For the procedure, ready-made drugs can be used, or their composition can be selected by a specialist.

The mechanism of action is based on the pharmacological properties of serums and the response of connective tissue to their administration.

The achieved result depends on individual characteristics, including age. The younger the patient, the fewer sessions are needed to solve problems.

Cocktails may contain the following components:

• hyaluronic acid (acts as a powerful “humidifier”, promotes rejuvenation due to the accelerated synthesis of collagen fibers and elastin);
• pyruvic or glycolic acids (restore the natural turgor and elasticity of the dermis);
• minerals, in particular - zinc, chlorine, magnesium (improves fat metabolism, the action is aimed at improving the absorption of vitamins);
• vitamins of groups A, C, B, E, biotin (used to improve metabolism at the cellular level);
• collagen and elastin in their pure form (responsible for rejuvenation);
• extracts of medicinal plants;
• peptides;
• components of the placenta (participate in restoration).

Possible consequences after using meso-cocktails, contraindications

Many people dream of prolonging their youth, but not everyone can feel the effects of meso-cocktails with hyaluronic acid. The procedure has contraindications:

• Injuries, burns on the face, as a result of which the integrity of the skin is damaged;
• Pregnancy;
• Lactation;
• Aggravated form of herpes;
• Kidney disease;
• Some skin diseases;
• Reduced immunity;

• Mental disorders;
• Increased body temperature;
• Oncology;
• Intolerance to some mesococktail ingredients.

You should also take into account the possible consequences after the procedure, which can manifest themselves in the form of scars, thickening, bruising, swelling on the face, as well as circulatory disorders, infections brought under the skin.

Before deciding on the procedure, you need to know some more points related to the disadvantages:

1. After 3 weeks, hyaluronic acid is completely eliminated from the body, so constant repeated procedures will be required to consolidate the result;
2. A course of rejuvenation with meso-cocktails lasts a very long time, about 4-6 months. Throughout the entire period, various restrictions and prohibitions on visiting the solarium, sauna, and swimming pool will apply;
3. Violation of the integrity of the skin resulting from acupuncture reduces its protective functions against the penetration of bacteria and viruses.

Mesotherapy is a serious intervention. Anyone wishing to use meso-cocktails with hyaluronic acid should weigh all the pros and cons before deciding on rejuvenation sessions.

Standard mesotherapy

It is a series of injections through which the drug enters the epidermis and reacts with skin cells.
Injections are carried out in the upper layers and are characterized by low rates of trauma.

After the session, side effects appear. Acceptable ones include mild swelling, redness and, in some cases, local hematomas at the puncture sites.

Non-injection mesotherapy

Alternative method . The result is achieved by using a special device - electromagnetic, laser or oxygen. In the latter option, the “respiration” of cells is additionally improved.

The procedure does not require a rehabilitation period due to the absence of complications associated with mechanical damage.

If you have the problem of bumpy skin texture, fractional mesotherapy is an excellent way to eliminate it. The essence lies in the hardware impact on the surface at high speed, due to which about 900 punctures are made per minute and there is practically no pain.

As a result, healthy active cells begin to migrate to the damaged area, thereby starting internal processes.

Rating of the best drugs for mesotherapy

Can I use it at home?

If you decide to carry out mesotherapy at home, then all responsibility for the result falls on your shoulders.
The risk may be associated with either an incorrectly performed procedure or an inappropriate cocktail.

What is mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is a cosmetic procedure, the essence of which is to administer injections with the necessary active substances to a certain depth of the epidermis. All anti-aging cosmetic products - creams, serums, lotions and masks act exclusively on the upper layer of the epidermis, without penetrating into its deeper layers. This is an effective procedure that allows you to quickly and painlessly get rid of skin imperfections such as dullness, wrinkles, enlarged pores, loss of elasticity and tone.

Thanks to such an innovative method as mesotherapy, biologically active substances penetrate into the deepest layers of the skin, which provides an instant rejuvenating effect. The cosmetic effect is achieved through mechanical stimulation of nerve endings with a syringe, as well as the action of the drugs used.

During the procedure, special formulations with vitamins and microelements, biostimulants, plant extracts, and hyaluronic acid are used. Such drugs can be combined in the required concentrations, called therapeutic cocktails.

Why is it prescribed?

Beautiful glowing skin is not given to everyone by nature. Even in their youth, many people have various kinds of problems with it. Moreover, they arise with age. Poor ecology, poor nutrition, stress, and fatigue play a role in the deterioration of skin condition. She is deficient in many substances necessary for beauty, which makes her look worse and makes her owner feel discomfort.

You can quickly restore a radiant and healthy appearance to your skin by introducing the missing components directly into the problem area using injections. The penetration of beneficial substances into layers deeper than the epidermis gives an excellent effect, much more pronounced than the superficial application of creams, masks, and serums. Mesotherapy solves the following skin problems:

• pigmentation of the skin caused by uneven distribution of melanin;

• loss of elasticity, leading to the formation of wrinkles and sagging tissue;

• stretch marks formed after childbirth or weight loss;

• scars resulting from mechanical damage, burns (including chemical);

• dryness or excess sebum, enlarged pores;

• formation of a double chin;

• violation of facial contours;

• the appearance of a vascular network on the surface.

The procedure will be useful even in the absence of these shortcomings, as a preventive measure. The skin looks fresher and healthier after it. Mesotherapy allows you to get rid of stress, insomnia, headaches, which also has a positive effect on the epidermis and deeper layers. There are formulations that solve problems with hair and scalp: excessive hair loss, dandruff, itching, dull appearance, split ends, seborrhea.
