Mesotherapy, which began to be applied in the early 1950s, is a medical procedure performed for aesthetic purposes. Used frequently in the aesthetic world for many years, this method is used to resolve and treat problems such as skin renewal, cellulite, spots, scars, various skin diseases, hair treatment, and acute and chronic pain.
Specialist Dr. Kinyas Düşünmez, who has signed his name to successful operations, explains what needs to be known about mesotherapy as follows:
"The foundations of this method rest on its effect by stimulating structures such as collagen and elastin under the skin. Mesotherapy, performed as a microinjection application, is an operation in which vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes are injected into the middle layer of the skin, either as a mixture or on their own, according to the person's wish or condition. During this application, small amounts of medication are given directly to the problem area by microinjection. The purpose of using this procedure is to prevent systemic problems and to obtain maximum benefit from the treatment."
Dr. Kinyas Düşünmez, who mentioned in his talk that mesotherapy actually has many areas of application, lists them in detail for us as follows:
• In eliminating aging and sagging seen in the skin,
• In treating spots caused by various conditions and also sun spots,
• In weight loss,
• In eliminating skin cracks (stretch marks) and cellulite,
• In eliminating under-eye bruises and bags,
• In treating allergies,
• In sports injuries and in relieving acute and chronic pain,
• In the treatment of vitiligo (lack of pigment in the skin),
• In the treatment of fibromyalgia (soft tissue rheumatism that makes you feel as if you have not slept enough),
• In eliminating baldness and hair loss,
Emphasizing that applying mesotherapy to some people in some cases is inadvisable and should not be done, Specialist Dr. Kinyas Düşünmez lists these people in his talk as follows:
• Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers
• People who have had a stroke
• Diabetics who use insulin
• Those with blood clotting problems
• People with cancer
• Those who are allergic to the medications used
• Urticaria patients
• People with heart disease who use more than one medication
Apart from all this, the expert doctor, saying that side effects such as temporary redness and bruising may be seen at the injection site and noting that this will not constitute any problem, also touches on the following:
"I should say that one of the most wondered-about things is when a response to mesotherapy will be obtained. I should state that although the full response to the treatment varies according to the size of the problem, the person's age and skin structure, it comes after the 2nd or 3rd session. We also do not recommend using blood-thinning medications before or after mesotherapy. After sessions, contact with water should be avoided for 10 to 15 hours and no make-up should be worn. Care should be taken not to wear tight clothing, and no strenuous movements should be made for 48 hours."
Dr. Kinyas Düşünmez explains the applications referred to as sub-categories, namely hair, cellulite, face and regional fat mesotherapy, as follows:
• Hair mesotherapy: a procedure performed regardless of gender to prevent hair loss or to eliminate baldness. It is performed by injecting a liquid containing vitamins, minerals and nutrients into the scalp. In this way cell metabolism accelerates, infections are eliminated and blood circulation is accelerated. As a result of all this, hair loss is prevented.
• Cellulite mesotherapy: this problem, a circulatory disorder that can be seen in every age group, is eliminated by regulating blood and lymphatic circulation thanks to substances injected under the skin. The substances applied here dissolve fat deposits and correct hardened connective tissue.
• Face mesotherapy (Mesolifting): the combination of sun damage and collagen deficiency causes disorders in the appearance and fullness of the skin. Here, medications are given on a small scale directly into and under the skin. In this way wrinkles and sagging are eliminated and the skin is renewed.
• Regional fat mesotherapy: applied to the abdomen, waist, arm and leg areas. It is used here in place of liposuction to remove fat. If combined with exercise, better results are obtained.
