Facial mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid is a mesotherapy procedure applied to reduce wrinkles and make the skin look tighter and brighter. As a highly effective skin rejuvenation method, it is performed by injecting a serum containing active substances such as hyaluronic acid and some vitamins and antioxidants into the skin.
Facial Mesotherapy with Hyaluronic Acid
Facial mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid is a complementary mesotherapy treatment to heal damaged skin due to aging, malnutrition, or environmental factors such as the sun. This treatment, also known as H 100, which is applied by fine-tipped needles for mesotherapy, aims to reduce the negative effects of aging, improve the appearance of skin and make it younger and healthier.
Hyaluronic acid, the main ingredient of this treatment, which is one of the non-surgical facial rejuvenation methods, provides moisture to the skin and is a building block that starts the natural healing process of the skin. When injected under the skin, hyaluronic acid which is naturally found in the skin, and other amino acids, together with vitamins and antioxidants trigger the skin to repair itself. Some studies show that hyaluronic acid triggers the production of collagen, which decreases over time. Since collagen is a substance that provides skin flexibility, when it increases, the skin is naturally rejuvenated.
How is Facial Mesotherapy with Hyaluronic Acid Performed?
It is injected using fine needles called mesotherapy needles. Since the needle touchs your skin, it must be sterilized before the procedure to minimize the risk of infection. Because it is not a surgical procedure, general anesthesia or local anesthesia is not required. However, your doctor will numb your skin to avoid even the slightest pain with a local anesthetic cream. Then the serum will be injected into the middle layer of your skin.
This therapy will show its effects if a total of at least 3-4 sessions are done, usually every 2 weeks. The effects of H100 will be seen within a few days after the procedure. Your skin will regain moisture and shine. The hyaluronic acid and other active ingredients in the serum will also initiate the skin’s self-repair process. Thus, it will activate your body’s natural healing process, leading to a natural rejuvenation.
Who Should Not Get Facial Mesotherapy with Hyaluronic Acid?
Facial Mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid is safe for many people. Everyone who is affected by the negative effects of aging and environmental factors on their skins can benefit from this procedure. However, people with certain health problems should avoid this procedure. This therapy is not recommended for pregnant women, breastfeeding women, people with active skin inflammation or infection, and those who are allergic to the materials used in the procedure.
Benefits of Facial Mesotherapy with Hyaluronic Acid
This therapy has many advantages as it provides ease of application and is a good treatment option for people over 20 years old and of all skin types. Although it is considered a type of facial mesotherapy, this treatment can also be used on the neck and hands and causes minimal side effects. Here are other benefits of this treatment:
- Because hyaluronic acid has the same molecular structure as the hyaluronic acid in the skin, it does not cause an allergic reaction.
- It is one of the anti-aging procedures done without incisions.
- It increases the elasticity of the skin and improves sagging.
- It reduces the appearance of fine wrinkles.
- It reduces the appearance of scars and acne spots.
- The duration of the treatment depends on the needs of the patient.
- Hyaluronic acid provides long-term moisturization because it helps the skin to retain water.
Side Effects of Facial Mesotherapy with Hyaluronic Acid
Mesotherapy using hyaluronic acid naturally found in the skin is a very safe procedure. Patients usually are concerned about the injections of serum through a needle. However, these needles are fine-tipped and local anesthetic cream is used to prevent pain. It is normal to have mild swelling, bruising, and redness in the application area due to injection after the procedure. Such mild side effects are expected to pass within 2 to 3 days. If you have light skin, side effects such as bruising and redness may be more apparent on your skin.
After this procedure, there is a risk of allergic reactions due to the metal equipment used for injections. In people with metal allergies, such as nickel allergy, these tools can cause irritation and allergic reactions. If you have a metal allergy, you should inform your doctor before the procedure. Besides, it is recommended that you quit smoking and alcohol after the procedure. You should also use sunscreen when out in the sun and take precautions to protect your sensitive skin.
