In a world that yearns for perfect beauty, advanced cosmetic techniques are our gateway to achieving a stunning appearance and complete health. Among these techniques, mesotherapy injections stand out as one of the most important magical solutions that provide amazing results in various aesthetic fields.

What are mesotherapy injections?

Mesotherapy is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that injects the middle layers of the skin with a mixture of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and other nutrients, using very fine needles during the injection process, which greatly reduces pain and side effects.

This mixture stimulates blood circulation and enhances the production of important proteins that work to maintain the skin's freshness and elasticity. 

Additionally, mesotherapy can target specific skin concerns by customizing the injection formulation as needed.

This technology is also used for various purposes, such as skin rejuvenation, fat reduction, body sculpting, and treatment of other conditions, such as cellulite and hair loss.

Mesotherapy for the face

Doctors resort to facial mesotherapy injections in order to target the middle layer of the skin.

Facial mesotherapy injections stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, moisturize the skin, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes and scars. 

It also offers benefits, such as increased skin elasticity and younger-looking skin without the need for surgery.

The treatment is almost painless, the doctor usually applies a local anesthetic before the procedure, and the session lasts a maximum of 20 to 45 minutes. 

Mesotherapy is a suitable option for individuals looking to treat various skin concerns, such as:

  •  Fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Dark circles.
  •  Acne scars.
  •  Dry skin.

Facial mesotherapy is a versatile and safe skin rejuvenation treatment that is highly preferred by doctors and patients.

Mesotherapy injections for hair 

Many people suffer from various hair problems, such as loss, breakage, and loss of vitality. Mesotherapy injections are used to treat these problems, by injecting a mixture of vitamins, minerals, and growth-stimulating factors directly into the scalp, which makes it the ideal solution to restore hair health and beauty. 

Mesotherapy offers several benefits for hair, including:

  • Promoting hair growth: Mesotherapy injections stimulate blood circulation in the scalp, which nourishes hair follicles and stimulates new hair growth.
  • Strengthening hair follicles: Injections provide the follicles with the necessary nutrients to strengthen them and prevent abnormal hair loss.
  • Increased hair density: By stimulating new hair growth and enhancing follicle health, the scalp becomes more plump and the hair becomes thicker and more beautiful.
  • Treating some types of hair loss: Mesotherapy has proven effective in treating cases of hormonal hair loss, stress-related hair loss, and others.

Mesotherapy for weight loss

 Mesotherapy technology relies on the use of precise injections into the middle layer of the skin, as we mentioned, and scientists have found that it may be used to get rid of local obesity.

Mesotherapy injections work to stimulate the process of breaking down fat in areas that need slimming or sculpting. 

This process involves injecting a variety of active substances, such as phosphatidylcholine, deoxycholic acid, and saline solution, which break down fat and transform it into small fat molecules that can be easily absorbed and eliminated naturally.

The use of mesotherapy injections is characterized by the ability to improve the appearance of the skin in the area and reduce local fat and sagging skin without the need for a surgical procedure.

In addition, this technology offers many advantages that make it an ideal choice, such as: 

  • Not leaving scars.
  • It does not require general anesthesia.
  • Possibility of resuming daily activity immediately after treatment.
  • The ability to improve the appearance of the skin and get rid of cellulite.

Mesotherapy injection technique shows its effectiveness in reducing the size of the treated area between 5 to 13 centimeters. However, it should be noted that it cannot be considered an effective alternative for cases of severe obesity. Rather, it is an additional aid in the process of getting rid of local fat and improving the body’s appearance in the targeted areas.

When does mesotherapy injection take effect?

Mesotherapy injections usually begin to take effect after several sessions, and visible results become more noticeable over time. 

The number of sessions required varies depending on the condition being treated, as it ranges from one to three sessions for moderate cases, and some cases may require up to 15 sessions for chronic and stubborn cases, such as cellulite.

How long do the results of mesotherapy last?

The results of mesotherapy injections are long-lasting, as they can last between 12 and 18 months, but it is important to note that these results will begin to fade over time if the doctors' instructions regarding the number of sessions and how long to continue the treatment are not followed. 

Most people find that having mesotherapy treatments every 3 to 6 months helps maintain the results achieved from mesotherapy. 

This approach enhances the skin's ability to benefit from the benefits of cellular renewal and collagen stimulation on an ongoing basis, which contributes to maintaining a youthful and healthy appearance of the skin and hair for a longer period.

In conclusion, mesotherapy injections have proven effective for many patients as a comprehensive cosmetic technique that provides effective solutions to various skin, hair and body problems. With the variety of active ingredients used and the different injection formulations, treatment can be customized to suit each person’s needs and aspirations.

It is important to emphasize the necessity of choosing a specialist doctor with extensive experience in this field, to ensure achieving the best results and avoiding any risks or complications.

Frequently asked questions 

How much do you lose weight with mesotherapy injections?

Mesotherapy injections for slimming do not lead to significant weight loss directly, but rather contribute to reducing local fat in specific areas such as the abdomen, buttocks, or arms. Usually, the amount of weight loss ranges from 2 cm to 5 cm from the circumference of the treated area after several sessions. This depends on the body’s response, the number of sessions, and according to the general lifestyle. To achieve the best results, it is best to combine them with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

What should I do after mesotherapy injections for weight loss?

After mesotherapy injections for weight loss, some instructions must be followed to enhance the results and reduce side effects, such as drinking sufficient amounts of water to help the body expel broken down fat, avoiding strenuous exercise in the first 24 to 48 hours, and preferably staying away from direct heat such as sunlight or a sauna, and the injected area should not be massaged unless the doctor recommends it, and the effectiveness of mesotherapy can be enhanced by following a balanced diet and exercising regularly.

What is the duration of abdominal slimming sessions?

The duration of abdominal slimming sessions depends on the type of technique used, but most often one session lasts between half an hour and an hour. In the case of using mesotherapy or non-surgical fat loss sessions such as cryo, it is recommended to perform six to 10 sessions, at the rate of one session per week or every two weeks, according to the doctor’s evaluation or according to the patient’s condition. The results begin to appear gradually after the first sessions and improve with continuation and follow-up.
