What are the side effects of mesotherapy for the face?

Some of the side effects of facial mesotherapy may include: redness and/or swelling in the treated area (typically temporary and resolves within a few days), bruising (also tends to fade within a few days), and itching or burning sensation (subsides within minutes or hours).

Is anesthesia needed to perform the treatment?

Generally, anaesthesia is not required for facial mesotherapy as the needles used are very thin, and the amount of substance injected is small. However, some individuals may experience mild discomfort or slight discomfort during the procedure, especially in more sensitive areas of the face. In exceptional cases, a topical anaesthetic cream may be applied before the treatment to reduce the sensation of discomfort or pain.

What is facial mesotherapy?

Facial mesotherapy is an intense cell renewal and antiaging treatment. A revitalizing solution composed of hyaluronic acid (HA) and other nutrients such as vitamins, amino acids, coenzymes, nucleic acids, minerals, and antioxidants is injected into the skin to rejuvenate it.

This combination of active ingredients is capable of improve the physiological function of fibroblasts, the main skin cells that play a key role in skin aging, producing collagen, elastin and HA, but this production decreases as we age.

The mesotherapy cocktail recovers the components of the extracellular matrix and helps the fibroblast by providing the dermis with powerful hydration, thickness and luminosity, as well as correcting superficial wrinkles, blurring spots, illuminating dull complexions and acting as a stimulus for the face.

The treatment is performed with a nano needle, resulting in almost imperceptible micro-punctures, and the patients for the patient and achieving great comfort. It can be done restoratively on mature faces but it also has excellent preventive results on younger patients.

Mesotherapy revitalizes and enhances the health of any type of skin, providing benefits beyond aesthetics which are very difficult to achieve without treatment.

How is the treatment performed?

Facial mesotherapy is performed through microinjections in a quick and simple procedure.

1. PRE-TREATMENT
The procedure does not require any prior preparation on the part of the patient, only the correct choice of a specialized team where to go for treatment. Once in the consultation, the doctor will make a thorough diagnosis and clean the skin to prepare it for the treatment.

2. TReatment
The procedure lasts approximately 30 minutes. Although the puncture technique can be done manually or with different devices, at the Barraquer Centre we carry it out with a sophisticated system in which we incorporate the finest needle on the market to accurately determine the depth, puncture speed and the amount of product applied to each patient. Thus, we apply a large number of injections but with the minimum mark and maximum precision. These micropunctures favour the patient's experience, optimizing results, providing more safety, more comfort, less bruising and practically no pain. The treatment biorevitalizes, provides intense hydration, corrects fine wrinkles and provides luminosity instantly. Facial mesotherapy is compatible with other treatments such as hyaluronic acid, botulinum toxin, revitalizing peels, microneedling or intense pulsed light (IPL).

The appearance of a slight erythema, facial redness, is frequent during the first 24 hours. This is an outpatient procedure and the patient can resume his/her activities immediately after treatment. Although it is a procedure that can be performed at any time of the year, even in summer, it is advisable to avoid sun exposure, UV rays and temperatures below zero for at least 48 hours afterward. It is recommended to carry out two or three annual sessions of facial mesotherapy, leaving a time interval between each one of one month. The patient can repeat the treatment whenever he/she wishes.
