The answer to this trend comes with mesotherapy, the new preference in the treatment of women and men, which offers impressive results in the regeneration and appearance of the skin.
This treatment has now achieved a special place among the most successful methods of modern aesthetic medicine, both abroad and in our country, for the prevention of wrinkles and the treatment of sagging facial skin.
What is mesotherapy?

“Mesotherapy is an injectable treatment, which is carried out with small needles on the face and body. It helps to deeply hydrate the applied area, as its main ingredient is hyaluronic acid, an extremely hydrophilic material that in this treatment is used without cross-linking, so that it only hydrates and does not fill wrinkles or skin impressions. During the treatment process, through controlled microtrauma, the production of collagen and elastin by the body is activated, which are structural and supporting elements of the skin. It is worth noting that the mesotherapy solution can be enriched with vitamins, trace elements and amino acids”, he emphasizes Mr. Georgios Papageorgiou Director Plastic Surgeon, Metropolitan Hospital.

Where is mesotherapy applied and what is the procedure for its placement?

“Mesotherapy can be applied to the face, neck, décolleté and hands, while it can also be used on other parts of the body.
As for the process, it is simple and safe. The first stage is the application of anesthetic cream for about 45 minutes. Next, we gradually inject the hyaluronic acid with multiple stings, leaving a small amount each time. We can also combine it with needling to enhance the effect, adding mechanical stimulation at the same time,” explains the expert.
“With this particular method, the patient benefits with a significant reduction in pain during and after the injection, with a reduction in side effects, faster skin regeneration and the presence of less bruising, redness and swelling. Thus, he can return to his work and all his other social activities immediately, as if he had never had the treatment” he adds. “Of course”, continues the doctor, “for this treatment to be effective, 3 repetitions every 15 days should be carried out”.

Heterologous and autologous mesotherapy. What’s the difference;

“The treatment just mentioned, which contains hyaluronic acid and other substances, is called heterologous mesotherapy.
However, there is also autologous mesotherapy during which we take advantage of the powerful regenerative properties of our blood platelets with the growth factors they contain. In other words, we use plasma from the patient himself, which is rich in platelets”, concludes Mr. Papageorgiou.
