Mesotherapy Treatment For Wrinkles
Wednesday, July 20th, 2011When we grow old our skin changes as well, it does not look the same way when we were young. With the breakdown of collagen production in our bodies and the increase of cellulite build up in our skin cells, we often find it can be pretty discouraging looking in the mirror some days. Nobody likes having wrinkles and for this reason there are a variety of anti wrinkle treatments available in the market.
Mesotherapy is one such treatment. Completed in 4-10 sessions, treatment is typically every one or two weeks, depending on the area being treated and the extent of the wrinkles. Tiny bore needles are injected into the fat beneath the skin of a patient and contain a customized chemical mixture of compounds such as fat reduction agents, vitamins, muscle relaxants, enzymes, hormones or other substances. What this does is that it eliminates the cellulite in the body which starts to increase as we grow old. The treatment must be repeated every 6 months to a year.
This method is popular throughout Europe and South America, although not widely accepted in the United States since the components are not yet FDA approved. Even the American Society of Plastic Surgeons have not approved this treatment. However, some scientific studies have shown that Mesotherapy does stimulate the cells that produce collagen and prevents fine lines and wrinkles.
It may be helpful to begin treatment at a younger age to prevent wrinkles from appearing. The vitamins and antioxidants in the injections help to stimulate the skin cells and force them to produce more collagen and elastin. Results are gradual, as small areas are targeted over a period of time. Apart from the treatment there is also exercises which must be done and a diet that must be followed. Only after doing this, you will be able to see the results. Ongoing maintenance is required, which could lead to more expense than expected
Before you take this treatment it is best to perform an allergy test. The reason is that the drug which is injected into the body has life threatening allergic reactions It is best to use the services of an experienced doctor, one who knows about the Mesotherapy treatment in order to reduce the side effects. Some people may suffer a severe local reaction to the substances injected.
some of the known side effects are ulceration, subsequent scarring, and the area of the skin injected may become discolored Most people suffer a small amount of swelling, pain, bruising, or itching, which usually subsides a few hours to a few days after treatment. If you face any of the above side effects it is best to wear clothes which are loose fitting and stop any kind of exercise for a few days.
