In modern cosmetology, mesotherapy is a popular method of maintaining the appearance and rejuvenation of the skin. He is in charge of subcutaneous fat tissue of various drugs and nutrients. The most common and effective method is microinjection. However, he can also cause some discomfort, because, despite the prefix "micro", injections remain pricks, and the procedure can not be too pleasant. Therefore, now many women prefer non-injection mesotherapy, in which active substances are delivered to the deep layers of the skin under the influence of ultrasonic or electrical stimulation.
Apparatus for non-injection mesotherapy
To date, in the non-injection or, as it is also called, needle-free mesotherapy, the electroporation method is most often used. The serum of the active drug is applied to the skin, then, with the aid of a device with special nozzles, the skin is subjected to microcurrent action of high and low frequency. With this effect, the permeability of cell membranes increases sharply, so that the necessary substances penetrate deeply into the skin. Also due to the regulation of the frequency of the current, this method allows to achieve a significant concentration of useful substances and to some extent regulate the depth of impact.
Another advantage of this method is that the portable device for non-injection mesotherapy can be easily purchased and used at home, in contrast to the injection method, which should only be carried out by a specialist. Most often, non-injected mesotherapy is used for skin rejuvenation, smoothing of facial wrinkles, combating age spots and acne, restoring the tone of the face and decollete.
Non-injection mesotherapy - contraindications
Like any method, this cosmetic procedure has a number of contraindications:
- fever and any infectious diseases;
- dermatitis, trauma, skin irritation;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- cholelithiasis;
- individual intolerance to the components of the serum;
- presence of metal implants in the area of exposure.
Preparations for non-injection mesotherapy
The choice of special serums and cocktails that are used in this procedure is very large and depends on what kind of effect it is required to achieve.
For skin rejuvenation, preparations based on hyaluronic acid and X-ADN gel, which helps to restore skin collagen fibers, and also solutions based on vitamin C, are usually taken. In addition, there are various complexes with microelements, amino acids, vitamins, coenzyme Q-10 and DMAE ( Dimethylaminoethanol is a neurometabolic stimulant.
In anti-cellulite mesotherapy, serums with a solution of organic silicon and preparations with L-carnitine, which is a powerful fat burner, are most often used.
Oxygen non-injection mesotherapy
This is another fairly common method of non-injection mesotherapy, in which, in addition to introducing beneficial substances, the skin is additionally saturated with oxygen.
With this method of mesotherapy, active substances from previously applied to the skin of the serum are introduced into the deep layers under oxygen pressure, the directed flow of which (oxygen needle) is created by a special apparatus. In this case, oxygen exchange in cells is accelerated, the permeability of the stratum corneum decreases, and there is a possibility for additional penetration of the necessary substances.
