Results of mesotherapy: long and short term
Shortly after treatment: Once any redness has disappeared (often the next day), you will see that your skin has a beautiful glow. It feels well hydrated and supple - for example, makeup often sits better on the skin in the week after meso, precisely because the skin is so "full" of moisture and nutrients. Small lines may be less visible immediately after treatment purely due to hydration and slight swelling; This is a taste, but not yet the lasting effect.
After several weeks and several sessions: The real results build up during the weeks that you do the treatment. People report that their complexion brightens and they receive compliments for looking rested or “just good.” This is because the skin gradually improves: pigment spots can fade slightly (especially with vitamin C in the mix), the skin texture becomes finer and more even, and a subtle firming is noticeable. Especially in areas such as the cheekbones and cheeks, the skin can look firmer and fuller, giving your face a more youthful shape. You will also notice that the skin is smoother around the eyes (nice for concealer to sit more evenly, for example).
Combination effect: Mesotherapy works very well if you make it part of a broader skin care plan. For example: you do a light peeling every month to remove dead skin and meso every month to nourish. Then after a few months you will see a huge boost in skin quality. Mesotherapy provides building materials and stimulation, but good exfoliation and sun protection in addition maximize that effect. Many people also notice that their skin care products seem to work better after meso, probably because the skin condition improves and ingredients can do their work better.
Duration of effect: After a full course of mesotherapy (4 sessions in 2 months), the achieved results remain for a while. Your skin will then be in better condition and you will not lose it immediately. But skin cells are constantly renewing themselves, and the vitamins introduced are also broken down over time. So after a month or so you slowly start to move back towards your starting point unless you maintain. For hydration effect it is often recommended to top up every ~3 months. For collagen stimulation, repeating it a few times a year is wise to maintain the boost.
Who is mesotherapy suitable for?
Mesotherapy is especially suitable for people who want to improve their skin quality without drastic interventions. Some specific target groups and indications:
- Dull, tired skin: If your skin has a gray cast due to smoking, stress or simply the passage of years, mesotherapy can help. The extra nutrients and improved blood circulation give the skin cells energy again, making you look fresher.
- Fine lines and early aging: Do you have those small lines around the eyes (crow's feet) or mouth, or a starting frown line? Mesotherapy can tackle those first lines by strengthening the skin. It is less suitable for deep wrinkles - fillers/Botox are often more suitable there - but the first signs of skin aging respond well to meso.
- Dry, dehydrated skin: Skin that feels tight and tends to flakes or dry lines will improve enormously from the hydration via meso. For example, people with a lot of air conditioning or office work (dry air) often see their skin clear up after a treatment, with more suppleness and fewer rough spots.
- Acne Scars and Uneven Texture: Mesotherapy is not specifically a scar treatment like microneedling, but it can help make the skin structure slightly more even. Certainly superficial acne scars or remnants of a rash (red spots) can fade faster due to improved cell renewal and ingredients such as zinc or vitamin A in some cocktails. There are even special meso cocktails aimed at acne-prone skin (with niacinamide, zinc, antioxidants, for example).
- Support of other treatments: mesotherapy is often combined or alternated with other methods. For example, after a strong peeling or laser (when the skin has recovered) to further nourish the skin, or just prior to a big event in combination with a facial treatment. If you already have fillers or Botox for volume/wrinkles, you can add meso for skin quality. Please note: always in consultation with an expert and at the correct intervals.
That is a big plus mesotherapy is suitable for almost all skin types, because the substances that are injected are usually endogenous or skin-friendly. However, not suitable it is for people with a fear of needles (logically, even if they are very small pricks), people with certain allergies to ingredients (for example if you are known to be allergic to lidocaine or a preservative contained in the cocktail) and pregnant women - mesotherapy is generally not recommended during pregnancy, simply as a precaution. Furthermore, if your skin is very troubled (e.g. active acne with inflammation or eczema on the face), it is better to wait until this is under control, otherwise the skin may react violently to the injections. But in a general sense: if you are healthy and want to give your skin a boost, then mesotherapy is definitely worth considering.
What is mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a cosmetic injection technique in which small amounts of active substances are injected directly into the skin using very fine needles. Consider a mix of vitamins (such as vitamin C or B5), minerals, antioxidants, amino acids and hyaluronic acid. This “cocktail” is injected superficially over the entire face, exactly where it is needed. The idea behind it: by directly nourishing and stimulating the skin, it can repair and rejuvenate from within. Mesotherapy is therefore also called the “vitamin boost”. mesolift named.
Unlike fillers, for example, which leave larger amounts of gel in one place to provide volume, mesotherapy works with microscopic amounts spread over the entire skin. You do not get extra volume or change in facial contours, but an overall improvement in skin quality. The treatment is suitable for men and women who want to boost their skin in terms of hydration, shine and firmness. Because the injections only go 1-2 mm deep, mesotherapy is a mild procedure: there is hardly any swelling or downtime involved, at most some red dots. In Amsterdam, this method is gaining popularity as part of maintenance for healthy skin, often in addition to good skincare and the occasional peeling or facial.
How does a mesotherapy treatment work?
Consultation and cocktail composition: Discuss in advance with the skin specialist or cosmetic doctor what your skin needs. This is used to determine which ingredients go into the injection fluid. Many practices use ready-made mesotherapy cocktails from well-known brands, but sometimes extra ampoules containing, for example, hyaluron or vitamin are mixed in. It is also checked whether anesthesia is necessary: often there is already a little lidocaine (anaesthetic) in the solution, or an anesthetic cream is applied beforehand, especially if you are sensitive.
The treatment step by step: You lie comfortably on the treatment couch. Your face is disinfected with alcohol or chlorhexidine to prevent infections. Then the injection starts. This can be done manually: the doctor uses a small syringe and needle to prick the skin superficially many times in quick succession, spread over the entire face. Or semi-automatic, with a so-called “mesogun” or injector that fires the injections. Both methods have the same effect; the choice depends on the preference of the practitioner and the system used. The pricks feel like pinpricks - you do feel them, but because they are so superficial, they are easy to tolerate. Sometimes we work according to a grid pattern (e.g. a prick every centimeter), sometimes more focused on problem areas (extra on wrinkles, scars). The entire facial treatment takes approximately 20-30 minutes. You will notice that small bumps or bumps appear on the skin during the injection; this is the fluid that spreads subcutaneously.
After the injections: The specialist will cool your face for a while or gently massage it to distribute the solution properly. The bumps that you see immediately after the treatment (sometimes comparable to mosquito bumps) usually disappear within a few hours to a maximum of a day, depending on how much has been injected. Your skin may be speckled red – as if you have a rash – from all those pricks. This looks more dramatic than it is and often calms down within 24-48 hours. Occasionally a small bruise may occur if a blood vessel is hit, but in general this is not too bad due to the superficial technique.
Aftercare and advice: Immediately after mesotherapy, it is best not to put on make-up until the next day, to reduce the risk of infection through the puncture holes. Keep the skin clean and hydrated with a mild cream. And – as always – avoid bright sun or use SPF, especially because vitamin C and other ingredients can sometimes make the skin more sensitive to the sun. In the following days you will notice that the skin feels a bit tighter and soon looks fresher. Once the redness is gone (usually within two days) you will look extra radiant.
Treatment and frequency: One mesotherapy treatment gives a nice boost, but it is usually recommended to do a series for a lasting effect. The following often applies: 3 to 6 treatments with an interval of 2 to 4 weeks. This builds up the effect - the skin repeatedly receives nutrients and stimuli to improve. After such an initial treatment, you can switch to maintenance: for example, a separate mesotherapy session every 3-6 months to maintain the result. Some people plan it seasonally (a spring and autumn treatment) or do a small one every month. This depends on your age, skin condition and wishes. Your specialist will advise on this.
