What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a treatment method in which beneficial substances such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes are injected into the deeper layers of the skin. The term “mesotherapy”, which means treatment of the middle skin layer, involves performing treatment by making micro-injections into the problematic or painful area. This method was first applied in France in 1952. Mesotherapy is a treatment performed using very thin and short needle tips (4-6 mm, 29-30 gauge needles).
Since some of the drugs are excreted from the body without being absorbed during absorption, the total dose of drugs taken orally or by intramuscular or intravenous injection does not always reach the target organ. In addition, since drugs administered in this way can reach other organs through the bloodstream, there is also the potential for side effects. In mesotherapy, drugs are administered directly to the affected area in small amounts via microinjection, which minimizes side effects.
In mesotherapy, the absorption of the drug from the area is minimal, so the drug passes into the circulatory system almost non-existent. The number of injections varies depending on the patient, the condition being treated and the anatomy of the area to be injected.
