Medical Video: Review of Mesotherapy treatment at Medicetics clinic
The proliferation of various beauty treatments that exist today makes it easier for us to pamper and treat our bodies. Well, have you ever heard about mesotherapy? Mesotherapy is a face and body treatment from France which has been recently talked about in cyberspace, thanks to a myriad of benefits. Indeed, what are the benefits? Is it true that we can make our appearance more youthful?
What is mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical beauty treatment by injecting fluids containing vitamins, enzymes, extracts and special hormones using thin needles into the subcutaneous layer in the middle of the skin, the mesoderm. The mesoderm layer is one of the cell structures in the skin which is in charge of composing the body shape.
Is it effective to keep you young?
The main goal of mesotherapy was originally to treat disease. Over time, this procedure is more widely used for aesthetic purposes and body treatments such as:
- Rejuvenates and tightens the skin.
- Eliminate excess fat on the face, arms, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, hips, and legs.
- Fade wrinkles and fine lines on the face.
- Fade skin pigmentation, such as black spots and brown stains.
- Overcoming cellulite.
- Treat hair baldness (alopecia areata).
Unfortunately, so far no research has really proven the benefits and safety of mesotherapy procedures for beauty.
Reporting from Healthline, a study published in the International Journal of Dermatology reported that mesotherapy did not produce real changes in fading wrinkles and fine lines on the faces of people who routinely care for 6 consecutive months.
Is there a risk of side effects?
Mesotherapy was originally intended as a medical treatment. So actually, this procedure is not much different from other health therapies which also save the risk of side effects.
Various possible risks of side effects that may arise are:
- Nausea.
- Pain or pain in the area of the body being injected.
- Swelling in several parts of the body after therapy.
- Itching, rash and redness appear on the skin of the injection area.
- Injection scars appear slightly bruised and swollen.
- Scars arise
Therefore, you should first discuss with a dermatologist to consider the risks and benefits before making a therapy appointment.
