Dr Aesthetics - Facial Rejuvenation

MESOTHERAPY

Mesotherapy is a medical technique devised in the 1950s by a Frenchman called Dr Michel Pistor. It was first used to treat such conditions as rheumatism, sports injuries, and for the improvement of blood circulation.
Mesotherapy has now been used successfully for the treatment of cosmetic conditions, including:
• Skin rejuvenation and improvement
• Hair regrowth
• Localised fat reduction and as a treatment for cellulite.
It is commonly practiced in France, where more than 15,000 practitioners use Mesotherapy for the care of their patients and it is a procedure that is taught in French medical schools. 
Mesotherapy is also practiced in many other countries around the world, and is currently gaining widespread acceptance by cosmetic clinics in the UK and the USA. According to statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), just under 29,000 Americans had mesotherapy treatment in 2006, a staggering increase of 505% on 2005 figures.
If you are considering mesotherapy, the following information will give you a basic understanding of the procedure. It can't answer all your questions, since a lot depends on the individual patient and the practitioner.

How does Mesotherapy work?

Mesotherapy involves the injection of a specially prepared mixture of vitamins, amino acids, and medications, placed just millimetres under the skin into the problematic area. Just a "drop" of solution is used at each injection site.
The idea is that you can get these active substances to the site requiring treatment by directly injecting them there. This is instead of relying on a tablet or intravenous injection where higher concentrations of the drug are required in order to get adequate levels to the site requiring treatment. Mesotherapy is both more precise and requires less solution to be injected.
The actual preparation injected into the mesoderm (or surface layer of the skin) during Mesotherapy depends upon the problem being treated.

Mesotherapy as a skin rejuvenating treatment:
Mesotherapy in the treatment of ageing skin aims to replace minerals, vitamins and amino acids that are found in lower levels in skin as we age.
Another newer procedure is to boost levels of hyaluronic acid in the skin. This is another important component of the skin that helps to maintain firmness and texture.
Again, as the skin ages, levels of hyaluronic acid decrease, and it is claimed that injecting more hyaluronic acid into the dermal layers (just below the surface of the skin) helps to stimulate more collagen production, which, in turn, improves skin tone and helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

What is High Frequency Mesotherapy?
Traditionally Mesotherapy has been used to rejuvenate and enhance skin complexions. However now the U225 High Frequency Mesotherapy device offers a faster and more beneficial technique - using a cocktail of vitamins in combination with hyaluronic acid.
Traditional injections are no longer needed, as High Frequency mesotherapy (using the U225 Mesogun), where a series of small micro-injections are used to deliver the special vitamins and hyaluronic acid formulation into the skin. The procedure is PAINLESS.
Technique: This high frequency technique delivers 8-9 micro-injections per second penetrating the skin at the exact depth that is needed for optimum results.
The cocktail of vitamins and hyaluronic acid has been specially formulated in order to achieve the desired results whether it is for anti-ageing, skin smoothing or hair loss prevention.

There are three vitamin formulations:
1. Meso-vitality 2. Meso-hair 3. Meso-slim 
The desired preparation and consistency is adjusted for the specific areas being treated
