Hair Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a technique invented in 1952 by Dr. Michel Pistor. Over the past years, many physicians worldwide have regularly used Mesotherapy for varied indications, weight loss, spot reduction of fat, cellulite reduction, hair loss, scar revision, and wrinkle elimination. In this technique very small doses of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other active substances are directly injected with a very small needle or a meso-gun into the mesoderm which is the third layer of the skin where the blood vessels are present. It helps to rejuvenate and hydrate the skin which in turn repairs itself. The medicines, vitamins, and plant extracts used are typically obtained from compounding pharmacies.
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
Sterile substances that contain one active substance – hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, vitamin A, amino acids, or cocktails of vitamins, minerals and other active ingredients.
Procedure
The area of treatment is anesthetized with topical anesthetic cream. After 30 – 35 minutes the application is cleaned and disinfected. Injections are given with a small needle and are grouped closely in the treated area 1/4 to 1 inch apart and depth upto 2mm in the skin. 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.
