What is mesotherapy? 

Inevitably, we look at ourselves one day, and there is something about our body that we want to change. Maybe it is the fine lines on the forehead or the dull look on the skin because of the screen time every day, or it is just the fat pockets that refuse to budge even when you are exercising right. Mesotherapy is there to help. "Mesotherapy" is a non-surgical, minimally invasive method consisting of multiple intradermal or subcutaneous injections of a mixture of compounds. It is known to have a range of applications, particularly in the area of cosmetic dermatology. Few of them include - Skin lightening, Skin Rejuvenation, Anti-aging, Cellulite reduction, among others. "One of the most common treatments is Mesolift / Mesoglow, which improves the texture and tone and collagen remodelling resulting in a general repair and rejuvenation of the area treated. These injections are given in minute doses with a wide range of compounds, e.g., Anti-oxidants, vitamins, plant extracts and other bioactive substances. The volume of cocktail to be injected, depth of penetration of the mesotherapy needle and number of sessions needed for various uses change according to the patient's requirements and has to be decided and treated by a certified dermatologist" states Dr Alekya Singapore, Dermatologist at Apollo Spectra Hospital, Kondapur Hyderabad.

Dr Saurabh Shah, Dermatologist, Bhatia Hospital Mumbai shares that, "a misoperation gun or insulin syringes are employed to infuse the skin with meso–solutions that contain potent micronutrients, antioxidants and vitamins to rejuvenate and revitalise the skin. The antioxidants and vitamins in the injections help to stimulate the cells to produce collagen and elastin. Many contents like hyaluronic acid in the meso-solutions trigger ‘neo collagenases,’ i.e. production of new collagen in the skin, giving it a youthful and fresh look. They help in evening out the wrinkles. Glutathione and Tranexamic acid-based meso – solutions help reduce skin pigmentation. L carnitine and Phosphatidylcholine shots help reduce the subcutaneous fat. Similarly, biotin and minoxidil based injections help control hair fall and promote hair regrowth."
