The Background
As we get older, our skin goes through progressive changes that make us feel less confident in its appearance. From large pores and acne scars, to stretch marks and pigmentation issues – it’s not uncommon for these problems to appear as we age. Fortunately, restoring enhancing collagen and elastin in our skin is now easier than ever thanks to some clever advances in the skincare industry!
The Issue
Dull skin, wrinkles, sagging, and dehydrated texture are common indicators that our skin requires attention. Despite the wide array of products available, ranging from body lotions to essential oils, achieving the desired results can be challenging. If you are concerned about issues such as uneven skin tone, stretch marks, acne scars, or enlarged pores, you have come to the right place.
The Solution
Microneedling and Platelet Rich Plasma Mesotherapy are exceptional skin revitalization treatments that can restore your skin’s natural radiance. Mesotherapy involves injecting essential nutrients directly into the dermis, promoting collagen production and increased blood flow. When combined with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), the benefits of Mesotherapy are further enhanced, resulting in even more remarkable results. This powerful combination is highly effective in achieving a healthier, more youthful-looking complexion.
FAQs
What distinguishes Microneedling from Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy was initially developed to administer medication to subcutaneous fat, but it is now frequently used for skin rejuvenation. Although both treatments use needling techniques, they vary in their application, penetration depth, and the skin conditions they address. Mesotherapy uses a customized blend of potent vitamins, rejuvinative therpaies and tissue repair factors that are delivered into the deeper layers of the skin using a Meso device, while Microneedling involves gently passing multiple microscopic needles over the face to create tiny puncture marks, activating the production of collagen and elastin.
Who is the ideal candidate for Microneedling?
The primary aim of Microneedling is skin rejuvenation. The technique promotes cell regeneration and deep exfoliation, which leads to the replacement of outer skin layers with new cells. Microneedling is highly effective in treating textural changes associated with acne scarring, wrinkles around the eyes and neck, and surgical scars on the abdomen. The controlled dermal wounding triggers the wound healing cascade, releasing various growth factors that promote new collagen and elastin production, the essential building blocks of healthy skin.
Who is the ideal candidate for Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is most suitable for individuals with skin issues such as acne scarring, loose or dull skin, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines and wrinkles. Clients in their 20s, 30s, and beyond who want to enhance the radiance of their skin are the most likely to benefit from mesotherapy. By supplying nourishment and hydration to your cells, mesotherapy enhances skin health, ensuring that it remains healthy for a longer period. Since a targeted active solution is injected into the skin as the needle penetrates it, mesotherapy is best suited for skin problems that originate from within the lower layers of the skin, such as dehydration and advanced aging.
What are the benefits of Microneedling?
Microneedling involves the use of fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin’s upper layer. This process activates the body’s natural collagen and elastin production, which are essential components in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Individuals may also notice improvements in overall skin texture. Microneedling is a popular practice among patients seeking to treat stretch marks and acne scars.
Post-Care Instructions for
Mesotherapy
- It is recommended to wait at least 8 hours before washing or showering after Mesotherapy.
- Hot baths should be avoided for 48 hours after treatment.
- Refrain from exercising for 48 hours after treatment, as it may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment
- Avoid excessive or direct sun exposure for 48 hours after treatment. SPF 30 or higher at all times

- Avoid waxing, bleaching or any other facial hair removal treatments for five days
- Wait for 24 hours before resuming exercise, especially if it’s part of your daily routine. Your doctor may suggest waiting longer as physical activity can increase blood flow, which could spread the toxin and reduce its effectiveness at the injection site.
- Performing facial exercises like frowning, smiling, and raising your eyebrows is safe and can actually help the effects of Botox appear sooner.
- Avoid applying makeup on your skin for at least 24 hours after Botox treatment to prevent the potential dispersal of the toxin caused by rubbing.

- Avoid skin treatments like facial massages, exfoliating scrubs, and dermal fillers for the first 24 hours as they may also reduce the effectiveness of the Botox.
