¿Conoce qué es la mesoterapia facial?

Have you heard what facial mesotherapy is ? It is a technique of micro injections with very small needles that contain different substances depending on the result that you want to achieve on the face.

The most common substances used for rejuvenation with facial mesotherapy are: vitamins, minerals, amino acids, coenzymes, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants. You can use one of them or make a combination of several of these assets. 

How is rejuvenation performed with facial mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy sessions last approximately one hour and are developed as follows:

1. Facial cleansing with make-up remover. 
2. The mesotherapy treatment agreed between the doctor and the patient begins on the face, neckline and other selected areas. It can be done with a postor or manually with very fine needles.
3. A soothing mask is applied to soothe irritated skin.

One of the benefits of mesotherapy is that it is a practically painless treatment ; however, if the person is very sensitive, an anesthetic cream can be applied half an hour before the session. You should also take into account that the same day of the session, the skin may look red from the needles, but the next day it will already look good.
