In the last decade, cosmetology has come very far. Today, one cannot surprise anyone with such procedures as contouring, implantation of mesothreads, liposuction, mesotherapy. Each of these procedures has its own characteristics, but almost all of them are associated with the use of the injection method of delivering nutrients deep into the skin. Yes, this method is more traumatic, but much more effective compared to the usual application of creams to the skin surface. A mesoscooter is a tool for use at home, which in effect is similar to mesotherapy. This device can be used for various purposes both on the skin of the face and body. The article describes how to use the mesoscooter for the body for maximum results.
What is a mesoscooter?
The mesoscooter is a long handle (about 15-20 cm), on which there are holders, and between them is a rotating wheel on which very sharp needles are symmetrically located. Their length is different, depending on the purpose of the tool:
- The mesoscooter for the body is equipped with relatively long needles - from 1 mm to 3 mm. This size is necessary in order to most effectively affect the insensitive skin of the body in those places where there are stretch marks, cellulite and significant body fat. The needles are made of titanium - this provides maximum strength and ensures that during the procedure the needle does not break and does not get stuck in the skin.
- The mesoscooter for the face has a needle length of 0.5 to 1 mm. The needles themselves are usually made of medical steel. There are also mesoscooters for the face with needles made of titanium. Since the skin of the face is much more tender and thinner than the skin of the body, sharp and rough movements are not allowed during use. If before there was no experience with the mesoscooter at home, it is better to choose a device with a minimum needle length of 0.5 mm.
Why use
Mesoscooter with regular and proper use allows you to achieve at home a cosmetic effect similar to salon mesotherapy. With this procedure, the cosmetologist injects special compounds with a thin needle into the upper and middle layers of the dermis. They are called mesococtails, they contain many useful components (collagen, amino acids, vitamins and plant extracts). When using a mesoscooter, it is not possible to inject the therapeutic composition directly into the skin, therefore, pre-treated skin should be lubricated with a mesococktail. As the girls write in reviews, already "perforated." Lying down on the skin treated with a mesoscooter, the mesococtail penetrates into the deep layers of the dermis, which cannot be achieved with the usual method of application.
In large cities, you can even get training in mesotherapy with a mesoscooter. In this case, a special emphasis is placed on the body: after all, in some places the skin is thinner (an apparatus with short needles may be required), in some it is thicker. Consequently, the pressure and processing speed will vary. In addition, depending on the problem, the composition of the mesococktails will differ.
What are mesococktails for?
Often, girls who start using the mesoscooter at home are worried about the lack of mesococtails. It would seem that the result depends on the composition of the cocktail. This view is only partly true.
Mesococktails for a mesoscooter do not have to be bought; you can cook them yourself. Collagen, amino acids in liquid form, as well as vitamins in the form of a solution (in ampoules) can be purchased at any pharmacy. Then, independently, based on the purpose of use, prepare a portion of the cocktail at once and apply it to the skin surface treated with the mesoscooter immediately after the procedure.
Meso cocktail ingredients
In the pharmacy you can buy almost all the ingredients that will create an effective cocktail:
- Hyaluronic acid fills the dermis with moisture, helps eliminate dryness, and prevents wilting and wrinkles.
- Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) whitens the skin, and also promotes the breakdown of adipose tissue. This is an excellent ingredient for mesococktail, if the goal is to lose weight and get rid of cellulite.
- Collagen increases elasticity, tightens, reduces the depth of wrinkles.
- Elastin has the same properties as collagen, but its molecules are smaller.
- Aloe vera extract moisturizes, makes the skin velvety and smooth, relieves inflammation and irritation.
- Calendula extract helps smooth the skin, can be added to cocktails from cellulite and stretch marks.
- Chamomile extract soothes, relieves irritation, eliminates the effects of dermatological diseases and allergies.
- Artichoke extract makes the skin smooth and nourished, reduces puffiness and cellulite.
The negative effects of using a mesoscooter
It should be noted that the use of a mesoscooter for the body is not always safe. The negative consequences include:
- the appearance of the vascular network and rosacea on the treated surfaces of the skin of the body and face;
- exacerbation of varicose veins;
- the appearance of an allergic reaction to the use of mesococktails - swelling, itching, irritation and peeling of the skin;
- enlarged pores (this side effect mainly affects the skin of the face, but also applies to use on the body).
Mesoscooter for the body against cellulite
Cellulite, or the “orange peel” effect, is a problem for many women. It is characterized by the presence of flabby, bumpy, ugly and wrinkled skin on the buttocks and hips. Cellulite is not a threat to health, it is only a cosmetic defect. Mesotherapy will help to fix it.
A mesoscooter at home can significantly mitigate the manifestations of cellulite or even get rid of it completely. So, before starting the procedure, rinse the needles of the device with alcohol. Then drive the mesoscooter over the previously washed dry skin of the problem area of the body. The first couple of minutes do not push much. Then, when the skin warms up, you can press hard, it can be quite painful.
How long does the procedure take
The procedure lasts ten minutes on each thigh. At the fifth or seventh minute of the procedure, the skin turns red. This is normal: for the body, the mesoscooter is a kind of little test.
Immediately after the procedure, apply a mesococktail for cellulite. If not, you can apply a regular cream designed to combat the orange peel. Of course, after using the mesoscooter, in no case should be applied creams and formulations with a warming and irritating effect! This can cause a burn.
Using mesoscooter for weight loss
It is no secret that one of the simplest (but not cheap) ways to get rid of fat folds in the abdomen, thighs or armpits is mesotherapy. At home, a mesoscooter can also achieve an excellent result: fat folds will decrease, the skin will tighten.
Of course, in parallel with the use of the mesoscooter, the power should be adjusted. Otherwise, an impressive result can not be expected.
Using a mesoscooter for stretch marks
Striae, or, as they are called in common people, stretch marks, are whitish or reddish stripes on the skin that create an ugly relief. From the outside they look like scars. Owners of stretch marks are very shy of this dermatological effect. Alas, if stretch marks are formed long ago, it is almost impossible to get rid of them. Even the mesoscooter for the body will not fundamentally fix the situation. Only laser exposure can help with stretch marks.
The use of a mesoscooter can slightly smooth out only recently (no more than a year ago) stretch marks that have appeared. Judging by the reviews, the girls after the procedure with the mesoscooter lubricate the skin with “Kontraktubeks” gel - it helps to get rid of old scars and stretch marks.
How not to harm yourself: basic rules
How to use a mesoscooter so as not to provoke negative consequences? Here is a list of simple rules:
- Before using this or that mesococktail, you should check the skin for an allergic reaction, this will help to avoid many problems and unpleasant consequences (itching, pain, irritation);
- Before each procedure, disinfect the needles of the device with an alcohol composition;
- the first few minutes of the procedure do not press the mesoscooter too much, the pressure should be increased in parallel with the skin getting used to the effects;
- Do not leave the tool without a cover, it may damage the needles, which, in turn, can cause damage to the skin during the procedure.
Mesoroller for the face: reviews of cosmetologists
Using a facial scooter requires more care. On the face, capillaries and blood vessels are located close to the surface of the skin and dermis much thinner than on the body. So the slightest rudeness, non-observance of safety rules can lead to injury. Instead of good, you get harm.
The competent use of a mesoscooter for the face (reviews of cosmetologists confirm this) is only beneficial. This is especially true for aging skin: reducing the severity of wrinkles, nasolabial and nasolacrimal folds. If you use a mesococktail containing acids, you can achieve narrowing of the pores and updating the upper layer of the dermis.
Using a mesoscooter for the face at home can significantly save on trips to the beauty parlor. The main thing is to start the procedure carefully: this will help to reveal the ability of your own skin to regenerate and prevent the development of allergic reactions.
Reviews of cosmetologists about the use of mesoscooter for weight loss
But on the use of a skater for weight loss reviews are not very good. Anyone with a medical education will confirm that for successful and quick weight loss, the key to success is changing the diet, and not using the mesoscooter for the body. Reviews of those who are losing weight report that regular procedures using the tool will help to keep the skin in good shape and prevent the development of stretch marks.
If you continue to exceed daily calories, then no cosmetic procedure will help get rid of subcutaneous and visceral fat. Only with a parallel change in the diet, procedures using the mesoscooter for the body will give an excellent result.
