Mesotherapy Skin Procedure

Mesotherapy anti-wrinkle treatment

Developed in the 1950s, Mesotherapy was originally used to treat conditions including rheumatism and joint injuries and to improve blood circulation.

Mesotherapy is now used in the cosmetic field for skin rejuvenation treatments, and also for localized fat treatment, including improving cellulite. It is commonly practiced in France, where it is taught in Medical school and is recognised as a speciality of medicine by the French National Academy of Medicine.

This treatment involves local subcutaneous injections of minute quantities of various substances (e.g., vitamins or plant extracts) for cosmetic purposes (e.g., fat and wrinkle reduction or body contouring) or relief of musculoskeletal pain.

How Mesotherapy works as an anti-wrinkle treatment
As the skin ages we lose collagen, hyaluronic acid and water, so lines develop and the skin sags. Sunlight and acne scarring can damage skin health.
 
Mesotherapy works by replenishing damaged skin through micro-injections with a mixture of vitamins, minerals and hyaluronic acid, thereby improving skin blood circulation, tone, firmness and texture and super-hydrating the skin.

These substances act as:
• Anti-inflammatory (reduce swelling);
• Vsodilators (improve circulation); and
• Deliver essential vitamins and minerals.

A single treatment does not give immediate results, but with repeated treatments, lines and damage will be significantly reduced.

The procedure
Micro-injections are given in a series of lines, in a grid pattern, penetrating the skin by no more than 4mm. If a patient finds this uncomfortable an anaesthetic cream can be applied first, though generally this is not needed.

Treatments take up to 30minutes each time.

Number of Mesotherapy treatments a patient needs
Initially a patient may need one treatment every 2 weeks for 1-2 months, then monthly for 3 months, then maintenance treatments every 3-6 months.

On average most people need 6 initial treatments then maintenance treatments once or twice a year.

Side effects
Mesotherapy treatment is considered safe, although a patient may get some mild bruising at the injection site, and this will fade after 12-36 hours.
Rarely some patients have had an allergic reaction to the products used.

Candidates for Mesotherapy anti-wrinkle treatment
Most people can have Mesotherapy, except pregnant women and people taking warfarin.
Patients who take aspirin or clopidogrel regularly are advised to stop these 2-3 days prior to treatment to minimise bruising.


Patients using retinoid creams (retinova) are advised to stop these 3-4 days before treatment. It is also advisable to delay any laser or electrolysis treatments for a week after Mesotherapy.
Men may wish to avoid shaving on the day of treatment.


Glycolic Acid Peels
Cosmetic dermatologists are now combining a regime of Mesotherapy with a glycolic skin peel, which further improves skin health by exfoliating the skin too. This is not the same as a chemical skin peel, which is a more abrasive treatment. Skin is cleansed and a pre-peel solution is applied. Then the glycopeel solution is painted onto the face like a mask and left on for 1 minute the cleansed off.

  • Colombia Understand

    Although there is a certain amount of violence in remote areas, the current government has increased its presence in the countryside and in all major tourist areas, so whereas in the past travel might have been risky, this is no longer the case except in the areas of known guerrilla presence.

    Traveling in Colombia is definitely worthwhile. From Bogota, with a temperate climate 2,600 m (8530 ft) above sea level and at a constant temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, a drive of one or two hours North, South, East or West can take you to landscapes which are as diverse as they are beautiful. To the East are the oriental plains which stretch out far beyond the horizon with little modulation. To the North are the more rugged contours of the higher Andean region. To the South the weather is sub-tropical and has flora and fauna concomitant with this, and to the West you can find the [Magdalena River] valley and its hot weather. Colombia is one of the equatorial countries of the world, but unique in its extreme topography and abundance of water.


  • Colombia Terrain

    Flat coastal lowlands, central highlands, high Andes Mountains, eastern lowland plains

    Natural hazards: highlands subject to volcanic eruptions; occasional earthquakes

    Highest point: Pico Cristobal Colon 5,775 m (18950 ft) note: nearby Pico Simon Bolivar has the same elevation

  • Analysis of epidemiological data indicates that regular use of NSAIDs modestly reduces risk of breast cancer; the clinical application of this, however, is uncertain. There is much epidemiological evidence that NSAIDs are associated with decreased risk for several cancers, and there are known to be abnormalities in cyclo-oxygenase (COX) and in prostaglandin synthesis in breast cancer amongst others. The authors of this review aimed to review and assess the epidemiological evidence on the effect of these drugs on breast cancer risk. They reviewed a range of existing meta-analyses, cohort, and case-control studies. Most studies indicated a protective effect, although the evidence is inconsistent: some studies have limited the effect to aspirin, and one large study showed an increase in risk associated with use of high-does NSAIDs but a reduction with low-dose aspirin. There is some evidence that NSAID use is associated with reduced progression of diagnosed breast cancer, and may delay or prevent metastatic disease. Overall, they conclude that regular use of NSAID may reduce breast cancer risk by around 20%, although some evidence links this only to use of aspirin. Much more information is needed before these drugs could be advocated for prophylaxis, however. It is possible that there may be greater promise in established cancer as an adjunct to endocrine therapy, and a trial of celecoxib in this situation is currently in progress.
