What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a medical procedure based on the application of low-volume special ingredients to the superficial and middle layers of the skin, scalp, or specific local tissues using very fine needles via injections. The solutions used in the application consist of supportive components such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, or hyaluronic acid, and are determined based on a physician's evaluation.
The primary purpose of mesotherapy is to support the targeted tissue microenvironment, help increase skin quality, and stimulate the local biological response. The application is strictly not a standard cosmetic care; it is a medical procedure performed by a physician under sterile conditions.
Scientific Basis and Mechanism of Action
The skin is not merely a passive layer covering our external surface; it is a living, active organ containing a vascular network, collagen and elastin fibers, connective tissue, and immune cells. The biological effects targeted in mesotherapy include:
- Supporting local microcirculation (capillary blood circulation),
- Contributing to the tissue moisture balance and strengthening the skin barrier,
- Supporting collagen-elastin synthesis through fibroblast cell activity,
- Supporting micro-nutrition around the hair follicles in scalp applications.
In Which Areas Can It Be Considered as Supportive?
- Supporting skin quality, radiance, and the appearance of elasticity,
- Supportive protocols for fine lines and signs of aging,
- Follicle support care on the scalp with a tendency for hair loss,
- Local tissue revitalization plans deemed appropriate by the physician.
Who May Not Be Suitable For (Contraindications)?
The procedure may be postponed or deemed unsuitable for individuals with active infections, open wounds, herpes outbreaks, or eczema flare-ups in the treatment area; those using blood thinners; patients with uncontrolled diabetes; during pregnancy and breastfeeding; and those with a history of allergy to substances in the formulation.
Post-Procedure Care
Temporary redness, mild edema, a stinging sensation, and small bruises at the injection sites may occur after the procedure. These findings generally subside on their own within a few days. For the first 24 hours, water should not be applied to the treatment area, makeup should not be worn, and exposure to Turkish baths, saunas, and intense sunlight should be avoided.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is mesotherapy painful?
The procedure is performed with very fine needles, and local anesthetic creams can be applied beforehand. The discomfort felt is generally mild and short-lived.
How many sessions are required?
The number of sessions is planned by the physician between 2 and 6 sessions depending on the person's age, skin structure, and targeted purpose.
