An effective method of fat removal, body contouring and treating hair loss is mesotherapy. It is a non-surgical procedure. For the rejuvenation of face, neck and area under the eye, mesotherapy comes into use. A dermatologist in Salt Lake injects various types of medicines, vitamins and minerals into the mesoderm, which is the layer of fat and tissue underneath the skin. He/she decides the mixture of the content in the injection based on every case and the specific area to be treated. Mesotherapy is useful for:

  • Making wrinkles and lines fade away
  • Tightening loose skin
  • Lightening pigmented skin
  • Treating alopecia, which causes hair loss
  • Correcting underlying issues such as inflammation and poor blood circulation that causes skin damage

The substances that the doctor injects in your skin during mesotherapy are varied. These include:

  • Medicines such as antibiotics and vasodilators
  • Hormones like thyroxin and calcitonin
  • Enzymes like hyaluronidase and collagenase
  • Vitamins and minerals
  • Herbal extracts

Eligible candidates for mesotherapy

 

This treatment is not suitable for everyone. You need proper consultation and evaluation by a skin specialist in Kolkata. You cannot go for mesotherapy if you:

  • Are a pregnant woman
  • Take insulin because of diabetes
  • Have cancer or AIDS
  • Are suffering from chronic ailments like heart diseases

You need to have perfect health and be in good shape. You need to undergo a skin test a month before the procedure to determine any skin allergies. The doctor will allow you to go for the treatment if he/she finds that everything is ok.

Preparations

 

You have a detailed discussion with your doctor if you wish to go for the treatment. He/she may ask you to avoid nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin for one week before the procedure. Your risk of bleeding and bruising during mesotherapy can increase due to these pain relievers.

The procedure

 

You need to visit the doctor for several mesotherapy sessions to get the best result. A skin doctor in Salt Lake may or may not apply numbing medicine to your skin during every session. He/she will give you a series of injections with the help of a special short needle. The doctor may attach the needle to an instrument so that he/she can deliver many injections consecutively. He/she often gives the injections at different depths ranging from 1 to 4 millimetres. It all depends on the condition for which you are getting the treatment. The frequency of each session will be 7 to 10 days in the first place. The doctor will ask you to come for the treatment once every two weeks or once a month as your skin starts to improve.

Treating hair loss

Mesotherapy also works as a treatment for hair loss due to alopecia. The doctor injects medicines, natural plant extracts or vitamins into your head. It helps to:

  • Deliver nutrients to the hair
  • Treat hormone imbalances in and around the hair follicle
  • Improve blood circulation

After checking your skin or hair condition, the doctor will be able to tell whether mesotherapy will work for you or not.
