Mesotherapy: Essential Information for Aesthetic Professionals

Mesotherapy is one of the most in-demand and versatile treatments in aesthetic medicine. It is used for skin rejuvenation, hydration, acne treatment, pigmentation correction, hair restoration, and various other cosmetic concerns. However, to ensure both effectiveness and safety, professionals must have a thorough understanding of its mechanisms, ingredients, application techniques, and contraindications.

How Does Mesotherapy Work?

Mesotherapy involves microinjections of active ingredients into the middle layers of the skin (dermis). The key advantage of this technique is the direct delivery of beneficial substances to the target area, bypassing systemic circulation. This allows for maximum effect with minimal dosage.

This procedure initiates several important processes:

• Improves microcirculation and metabolism in tissues
• Stimulates collagen and elastin production
• Enhances skin hydration
• Accelerates regeneration and improves complexion
  

Types of Mesotherapy Cocktails

• Hyaluronic acid – provides deep hydration, improves skin firmness, and smooths fine lines
• Vitamins (A, C, E, B-complex) – offer antioxidant protection, brighten pigmentation, and accelerate healing
• Amino acids and peptides – stimulate protein synthesis in the skin, improving tone and elasticity
• Minerals (zinc, magnesium, selenium) – strengthen the skin, regulate sebum production, and reduce inflammation
• Nucleotides and DNA complexes – promote skin rejuvenation and accelerate cell renewal
• Plant extracts – provide anti-inflammatory, brightening, and firming effects
  

Techniques of Mesotherapy Application

• Classic papule technique – injections at a depth of 1-2 mm, forming small papules. Ideal for hydration and anti-aging treatments
• Nappage technique – superficial microinjections creating slight redness. Suitable for delicate areas and preventive care
• Linear retrograde technique – commonly used in contouring treatments and for mature skin
• Mesoroller & mesogun application – alternative methods for evenly distributing active ingredients
  

Indications for Mesotherapy

• Signs of aging (wrinkles, loss of firmness, dryness)
• Pigmentation and photoaging
• Couperose and vascular concerns
• Post-acne marks and enlarged pores
• Dull complexion and uneven skin texture
• Hair loss and thinning hair
• Cellulite and localized fat deposits (for lipolytic mesotherapy)
  

Contraindications

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding
• Oncological diseases
• Active skin infections in the treated area
• Active herpes outbreaks
• Blood clotting disorders
• Allergies to cocktail components
  

Common Mistakes in Mesotherapy Treatments

• Incorrect cocktail selection – it is crucial to consider age, skin type, and the client’s specific concern
• Ignoring contraindications – a thorough consultation is necessary before treatment
• Improper injection depth – too superficial may result in no effect, while too deep may cause adverse reactions
• Lack of post-treatment care – clients should be advised on aftercare (avoiding sun exposure, saunas, and touching the face)
  

Conclusion

Mesotherapy is more than just an injectable treatment—it is a science requiring expertise. Aesthetic professionals must be well-versed in ingredient formulations, injection techniques, and tailored approaches for different skin types. Continuous education, mastering new methods, and using high-quality products are the keys to achieving optimal results and satisfied clients.
