Mesotherapy affect the skin in following way

Under the influence of the sun and other harmful environmental insults on the skin, it undergoes changes such as texture and elasticity loss, unequal pigmentation, loss of sub-dermal fatty tissue and the blood circulation reduces and skin firmness becomes more prominent with enlarged capillaries. These changes are due to reduction of the fibroblast cells.

However the topical regenerative creams applied on the surface of the skin; only 10 % of the active substance get reabsorbed in the skin. The surface layer of the skin functions like a barrier to environmental substances and organisms but it also prevents re absorption of the creams applied. So the goal of the Mesotherapy is to inject the full concentration of active substance in the mesoderm necessary to regenerate healthy and youthful skin. It increases the activities of the fibroblast, responsible for production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronan in the skin. With repeated procedures the wrinkles are reduced and the amount of collagen increases and the hydration of skin also improves.

Substances used in mesotherapy

Small blebs will be formed on the skin, which disappear shortly. After the procedure a gentle massage is given, then application of an antibiotic cream followed by application of sunscreen.
