MICRO-NEEDLE MESOTHERAPY

How does micro-needle mesotherapy with dermaroller work?

Micro-needle mesotherapy is a technique of skin microperforation with a special device called dermaroller. It creates a controlled injury underneath the skin surface and in this way, induces the body to respond through the formation of new tissue layers of elastin and collagen fibres in the treated area. It improves microcirculation and tissue oxygenation. The skin plumps and thickens in response to this stimulation, ultimately reducing the appearance of fine lines, scars and hyperpigmentation. The perforation also allows for active substances to penetrate deep inside the skin.

What are the indications for the treatment?

• anti-aging treatments
• acne and rosacea treatment
• scars and stretch marks reduction
• reduction of hyperpigmentation and depigmentation
• cellulite and overweight fighting
• revitalization of skin damaged by bad habits (tanning beds, smoking, etc.)
• stimulating collagen and elastin production and natural skin regeneration

What are the contraindications to the treatment?

• keloid-prone skin
• pregnancy and breastfeeding
• allergies to the ingredients of active substances
• diabetes
• cancer
• blood coagulability disorders
• inflammation of the skin
• viral, bacterial and fungal skin infections
• excessive amount of warts and moles

How is the treatment performed?

The treatment starts with make-up removal and skin disinfection. Next, the cosmetologist performs microperforation with a dermaroller. The procedure lasts about 10—15 minutes, depending on the target area. Throughout the treatment, highly concentrated active agents (mesococktail) are placed directly on the face. At the end of the procedure, a calming, hydrating, lifting face mask is applied.

What are the benefits and effects of the treatment?

• suitable for every skin type
• safe, no side effects
• improves skin firmness and elasticity
• reduces wrinkles
• improves face contours
• evens skin tone
• reduces stretch marks and cellulite
• reduces scars including acne scars

What are the post treatment recommendations?

Micro-needle mesotherapy forces the skin to regenerate and the controlled inflammation of the skin results in some intensive redness and swelling, but these symptoms subside within 1-3 days. In order to nourish the skin, it is recommended to hydrate the skin regularly and apply a sunscreen with a minimum SPF 30 for 10 days. It is advised to avoid swimming pool, sauna, physical exercise, hot baths and alcohol for 4 days after the treatment.

What are the possible side effects?

There is a risk of bacterial infection, which can be easily avoided if the skin is properly cleaned, hydrated and moisturised.
There might be some redness which passes after some time. The red skin needs to be adequately protected against the sun.
Among the rarest side effects is the risk of developing a temporary or permanent colour change in the skin (hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation).

How many sessions are needed to achieve the desired effect?

Best results are achieved after a series of 4-6 treatments repeated at 2-4 week intervals.
