Everything about Mesotherapy
What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a technique that uses injections of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and plant extracts to stimulate and tighten the skin, as well as eliminate excess fat.
Michel Pistor, a French doctor, developed the mesotherapy technique in 1952. In fact, this method was originally used to relieve pain, but in the years following, it has gained significant popularity in the United States and around the world.
Uses of Mesotherapy
Today, this method is used in the following cases:
- Fat removal in areas such as the stomach, thighs, buttocks, buttocks, legs, arms, and face
- Cellulite reduction
- Wrinkle and line reduction
- Tightening loose skin
- Body sculpting
- Brightening pigmented skin
- Treatment of alopecia (a disease that causes hair loss)
The procedure involves using very thin needles to perform a series of injections into the middle layer (mesoderm) of the skin. The main idea is to correct fundamental issues such as poor blood circulation and inflammation that damage the skin.
However, there is no standard formula for injectable materials in mesotherapy. Doctors use various solutions to combine these materials, including:
- Prescription drugs such as vasodilators and antibiotics
- Hormones such as calcitonin and thyroxine
- Enzymes such as collagenase and hyaluronidase
- Plant extracts
- Vitamins and minerals, and more
How much does Mesotherapy cost?
The cost of this treatment depends on the type of treatment you receive and the number of sessions you need. Generally, a session costs between $250 and $600 in most parts of the world. Since it is considered a non-essential (beauty) procedure, it is not covered by insurance in most countries.
Can Mesotherapy be used to treat hair loss?
In addition to treating wrinkles and eliminating unwanted fat, this treatment is also used to treat hair loss and alopecia. In this treatment, natural plant extracts, vitamins, or medications such as finasteride and minoxidil are injected into the scalp.
Individuals who undergo mesotherapy for hair loss claim that it corrects hormonal imbalances in the hair follicles and surrounding areas, provides nutrients for the hair, and improves blood circulation.
