What Does Mesotherapy Do?
Mesotherapy is used against tightening, skin renewal, scar removal and hair loss by allowing the fat tissues in the area where the injection is made to melt. While undergoing mesotherapy, it is very important to support it with exercise and diet and it helps to speed up the treatment process. Because it is made to eliminate the effects caused by aging, it is made for everyone who has wrinkles, sagging, discoloration of the skin and complains of hair loss. However, it is not appropriate to do it under the age of 20. The areas where mesotherapy is applied are listed as follows:
Cellulite treatment
Hair loss
Scar revision (healing of nebbe tissues in the skin)
Facial rejuvenation
Local (regional) lubrication
Pigmentation problems in the skin
Acne treatment
Stain treatment
The skin regenerates itself by regularly producing the vitamins, minerals and amino acids it needs up to a certain age. Since the body does not produce these substances after a certain age, there is no regeneration in the skin and the aging process begins. When hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin, which are the basic building blocks of the skin, decrease in the body due to age, the skin loses its elasticity, color and brightness. As the skin ages, the pigment cells begin to stain and lose water. Especially on elderly skin, a moisture-free and dry skin type appears. The drying skin starts to wrinkle by wearing out. The procedures performed to treat skin cells in order to be dried out from this cycle are called mesotherapy.
What are the Benefits of Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy provides an anti-aging advantage by stimulating collagen and elastin, which are important substances for the skin. The benefits of mesotherapy, which is among the Decongestant anti-aging applications, can be listed as follows:
Provides skin elasticity
Gives a brighter skin color
Moisturizes the skin
Reduces wrinkles by making the skin firmer
Prevents oxidative stress
Reduces pigmentation
It plays an effective role in skin regeneration
Mesotherapy is an application to ensure the re-synthesis and regeneration of protein structures under the skin. In mesotherapy applications, hyaluronic acid and amino acids (glycine, proline, lysine, lözin, alanine and valine) are injected into the middle dermis layer under the skin.
How is the Mesotherapy Procedure Performed?
Mesotherapy application is applied according to the needs of the person. Mesotherapy, which is similar to acupuncture technique, targets the middle layer of the skin while being applied.

What Drugs Are Used in Mesotherapy?
Many vitamins, minerals, amino acids and plant extracts are included in the drugs used during mesotherapy. Mesotherapy application is performed by using the following drugs according to the needs of the person's skin:
Hyaluronic acid: This substance used in facial mesotherapy is a natural polymer widely found in human tissue. This substance swells by absorbing water and provides moisture and elasticity in the tissue.
Vitamins: Vitamin A controls skin development. It corrects the skin that thins with age; vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects tissues from harmful substances. Vitamin C stimulates collagen synthesis. Slows down the production of skin color cells; vitamin B nourishes the skin, regulates the biological balance of tissues; vitamin K regulates the blood circulation of tissues.
Amino acids: They are the building elements of proteins. They play a role in the development of tissues. Amino acids repair and regulate tissue damage caused by age.
Mineral salts: They have regulatory and supportive roles in many vital activities of cells. In facial mesotherapy, these improve the metabolism of tissues.
Coenzymes: Regulate the biochemical reactions of tissues. It increases the regeneration rate of tissues.
Nucleic acids: Support the basic protein synthesis of the skin. Newly formed proteins also support the skin's connective tissue.
DMAE (Dimethyl amino ethanol): DMAE has been used in recent years and is a very preferred active substance in facial mesoretapy. Its main effect is that it eliminates skin sagging.
What Should Be Considered After Mesotherapy?
