Microneedling with Mesotherapy
Introduction
A device with tiny needles is used to produce micro-injuries in the skin during the cosmetic procedure known as microneedling with mesotherapy. The treated area is then given a cocktail of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. The goal of this treatment is to increase the skin’s production of collagen and elastin, which can help reduce the visibility of scars, fine lines, and wrinkles while also improving the skin’s overall texture and tone.
In the course of the process, a dermatologist or other medical expert will puncture the skin with a device equipped with tiny needles. This procedure, which starts the body’s natural healing process and encourages the creation of new collagen and elastin in the skin, is sometimes referred to as “collagen induction therapy.” After the microneedling part of the process is finished, the treated area is covered in a solution of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. In comparison to topical creams and serums, this mixture is made to penetrate the skin more deeply. It can benefit the skin in a number of ways, including hydration, better collagen production, and increased circulation.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of microneedling with mesotherapy entails accelerating the skin’s collagen and elastin production as well as the body’s natural mending process. During the microneedling part of the process, tiny needles are used to puncture the skin. The body reacts by increasing blood flow to the region and releasing growth factors and cytokines.
These cytokines and growth factors help to promote the synthesis of collagen and elastin, two crucial proteins that give the skin its elasticity and rigidity. As we age, the production of collagen and elastin gradually declines, which can cause fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. A combination of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are applied to the treated area as part of the mesotherapy component of the process. These nutrients can benefit the face in a variety of ways, including better circulation, increased collagen production, and increased hydration.
Side Effects
Some individuals may experience mild side effects, including:
- Redness: For a few hours following the treatment, the skin may appear slightly red or inflamed. This is a typical reaction to the microneedling and ought to go away by itself.
- Swelling: For a few hours following the procedure, the treated region may appear slightly swollen or puffy.
- Dryness or flaking: As the skin cells renew themselves, the skin may become dry or flaky in the days following the process.
- Bruising: The treatment location may occasionally become bruised.
- Infection: Any cosmetic procedure that breaks the skin carries a small danger of infection, despite being extremely rare.
How do Dermatologists do Microneedling with Mesotherapy?
The typical setting for microneedling with mesotherapy is a dermatologist’s office or clinic, where it is carried out by a qualified medical practitioner. Depending on the size of the treatment area, the procedure usually lasts between 30 and an hour.
Here’s what you can expect during a microneedling with mesotherapy procedure:
- Cleaning: To remove any dirt, oil, or makeup from the treatment region, the dermatologist will first cleanse it.
- Numbing: To help lessen any pain during the process, the dermatologist may apply a numbing cream to the treatment area.
- Microneedling: The dermatologist will puncture the epidermis with very small needles using a device. Depending on the patient’s requirements, the device can be moved back and forth over the treatment area while the depth of the needles can be changed.
- Mesotherapy: The dermatologist will apply a mixture of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to the treated area after the microneedling part of the process is finished.
- Aftercare: The dermatologist will give you detailed aftercare directions after the procedure is finished.
