Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is an effective aesthetic treatment method in which vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other nourishing substances required by the skin are injected directly under the skin. Associate Professor Tuğba Falay Gür provides detailed information on how mesotherapy works, its benefits, and the treatment process, helping patients achieve healthier, younger, and more vibrant skin.

What is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is a treatment method introduced by French doctor Dr. Michel Pistor. It involves applying nourishing substances to the middle layers of the skin (mesoderm) through microinjections. Mesotherapy is used to support skin rejuvenation, improve elasticity, and reduce signs of aging. It is also effective in treating cosmetic concerns such as hair loss, cellulite, and localized fat deposits.

Purposes and Goals

The primary aim of mesotherapy is to improve skin health by delivering essential nutrients directly beneath the skin. Key goals include:

Supporting Skin Renewal: Accelerating the regeneration of skin cells.
Reducing Wrinkles: Minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Skin Tightening: Enhancing skin firmness and elasticity by boosting collagen and elastin production.
Improving Skin Tone and Texture: Correcting pigmentation irregularities and improving skin smoothness.
Providing Hydration: Maintaining the skin’s moisture balance and preventing dryness.
Reducing Hair Loss: Nourishing hair follicles to control hair loss and promote growth.
Minimizing Cellulite and Fat Deposits: Reducing localized fat deposits and improving the appearance of cellulite.

How Mesotherapy Works

Mesotherapy involves delivering nourishing substances into the deeper layers of the skin through microinjections. These substances stimulate the renewal of skin cells, increase collagen production, and restore the skin’s natural elasticity. Additionally, mesotherapy provides direct hydration and vitamins to the skin, helping maintain its moisture balance.

Treatment Process

The mesotherapy process typically includes the following steps:

Assessment: A specialist evaluates the skin type, existing issues, and treatment needs.
Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned, and local anesthesia is applied if necessary.
Injection: The mesotherapy solution is injected into the targeted areas using fine needles. Patients may experience mild pricking sensations during the process.
Cooling and Relaxation: Cooling techniques may be used to soothe the skin during and after the procedure.
Post-Treatment Care: Specific care recommendations, including moisturizing and sun protection, are provided to support healing.

The main benefits of mesotherapy include:

Natural and Safe Results: Supports the skin’s natural renewal process and is easily absorbed by the body.
Minimally Invasive: Does not require surgery, reducing risks and ensuring faster recovery.
