Mesotherapy for the face

One of the most popular and effective salon rejuvenation procedures is facial mesotherapy. The essence of the technique is the subcutaneous injection of special meso-cocktails saturated with useful nutrients.

Duration of effectiveness

As hyaluronic acid is gradually removed from the human body, the anti-aging effect usually lasts up to 6 months and then begins to weaken.

Facial mesotherapy is a responsible and complex injection procedure that can only be performed by an experienced and highly qualified cosmetologist. This technique is not performed at home, its independent implementation by an inexperienced person is fraught with unpleasant consequences. At home, you can usemesoscooter- a very popular device, which, however, does not guarantee a pronounced skin rejuvenation effect and does not protect against problems of misuse.

Facial peeling

Exfoliation of dead skin cells is essential to improve the condition of the skin and healthy skin. At home, exfoliators, gommages and peels ready for this are used. The most effective option is salon peeling. It completely cleanses the skin of dead epidermal particles, eliminates various skin defects and normalizes skin color.

How it is done

The facial peeling in the salon is performed sequentially and in stages.

If necessary,local anesthesiais performed. With hardware conduction, laser, ultrasound, brushes can act in the solution for its uniform and deep penetration.

Then, the cosmetologist removes the remains of the applied composition, performs the antiseptic treatment of the skin and, if necessary, applies a dressing.

Types of peeling

Mechanics. It does not imply the use of hardware processing.
Chemistry. For this, the effect of chemical compounds (acids) is used.
Fruity. Exfoliation and skin rejuvenation are performed with fruit acids (citric, lactic, grape, tartaric, malic, glycolic).
Ultrasonic. Includes the use of ultrasound waves.
Laser. To do this, a laser beam is used.
Diamond. For this, a microdermabrasion device is used.

Frequency

In most cases, a salon peeling session is sufficient to achieve pronounced results, but to maintain cleanliness and healthy skin, it is necessary to perform the procedure at least1-2 times every 30 days. Superficial peeling gently exfoliates dead skin cells, deep peeling is effective, but much more traumatic for soft tissues. The recovery period after peeling lasts an average of 2 to 7 days.

The essence of technology is based on plastic massage, usually performed by the hands of a specialist. The skin on the face is vulnerable and thin, but in the presence of wrinkles a deep impact is necessary. Manual massage can cause damage to the integuments, and the use of LPG massage allows to obtain results without unnecessary stress on the skin.

The fabric is processed with a special massage accessory. It has a small chamber in which skin folds are tightened using a vacuum effect. Inside the chamber, the skin is actively processed by self-propelled rollers. For a pronounced result, it will take 10 to 20 sessions. The full effect will appear after 6 months.

The specialist then uses the tool to process the areas of skin that require correction. Radio waves travel across the skin's surface and provide thermal energy to soft tissues and muscle structures. Heat causes tissue contraction and active synthesis of collagen fibers.
