The well-known saying that beauty requires sacrifice often finds its confirmation in life. Today, there are a large number of cosmetic procedures aimed at improving the condition of the skin, combating cellulite, maintaining the entire body in shape.
The treatment technique, during which drugs and drugs are introduced into the middle and superficial layers of the skin, is called mesotherapy. The very concept of mesotherapy is a medical term, where meso - means median, and therapy - treatment. Even Hippocrates used injections with cactus needles to relieve joint pain. The invention of a syringe with a needle was largely due to the fact that most doctors tried in various ways to carry out drug exposure on the outbreak, rather than filling the entire body with drugs.
Now this technique is widely used for cosmetic purposes. Special compounds strengthen blood vessels, tighten the skin, normalize metabolism, break down fat cells. A particularly good result is achieved when combating spider veins, warts, age spots, acne and acne scars, small and large wrinkles, dehydrated skin, sagging, obesity, hair loss, joint pain, scars and stretch marks. And mesotherapy for cellulite reviews and results have some of the best. In this case, everyone should understand that any injection has consequences and mesotherapy has consequences too.
First of all, contraindications should be considered during this procedure.
- Acute respiratory and infectious diseases, herpes.
- Blood clotting disorders, hemophilia.
- Hypertensive diseases of 3 degrees, cardiovascular pathology.
- Low threshold of pain sensitivity.
- Allergic reactions and individual intolerance to the drugs used.
- Epilepsy.
- Menstruation, pregnancy, lactation.
Any of these contraindications is unacceptable with mesotherapy. If before the procedure the cosmetologist does not conduct a conversation with the client and does not find out all possible contraindications, then such a specialist should not be trusted. Illiterate mesotherapy consequences will have the most deplorable. This is especially true because the aesthetic appearance of the face may be impaired.
Let's look at possible complications during this procedure. Most often, a painful condition occurs, erythema, hematomas, ecchymoses, exacerbation of herpes, allergic reactions occur.
Any injection into the skin is painful, so a local anesthetic is necessary before the procedure. For people with a low threshold of sensitivity, an intramuscular analgesic injection can be recommended . Of particular importance is the pH of the injected fluid. The physiological pH level for a person is 7, 4, so medications with a pH of 5 to 8 should be chosen.
Redness of the skin - erythema - most often disappears in the first 2-3 days. If redness appears 3-4 days after the procedure and is painful, then this is most likely an allergic reaction. It is necessary to immediately contact a specialist who conducted a mesotherapy session. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out allergy tests before using certain drugs.
Mesotherapy often has consequences in the form of ecchymosis and hematoma - the so-called subcutaneous hemorrhage. These complications arise with increased fragility of blood vessels, trauma to the vessel itself, and too deep injection. To eliminate hematomas, it is recommended to use special ointments with angioprotective properties. Also important is the methodology of the procedure itself.
It is especially dangerous if, with such a procedure as mesotherapy, the consequences pass in the form of necrosis - the pathological process of cell death. Necrosis can lead to scarring, even the formation of keloid scars. The treatment in each case is individual. Most often, necrosis is caused by improper procedure, too much injected drug, poor sterilization.
Everyone who decides on a mesotherapy procedure, at the slightest suspicion of any of the listed complications, should consult a specialist.
