Treatment
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical treatment technique using needles. Any healthy individual over 18 years old can benefit from this treatment except pregnant-breastfeeding women, insulin-dependent diabetes or cancer patients. A medicated solution is injected into the middle layer of the skin in the problem area. The content of this solution may vary depending on the case and the area to be treated. There are many types of mesotherapy according to the injection technique of the needle and the area of use. Nowadays, needle-free mesotherapy techniques are used, especially in cosmetic treatment.
However, these changes are completely normal and occur when we lose some of the subcutaneous fat that supports our skin. Over time, the skin on the middle of our faces shifts down too, causing our cheeks to sag a bit. Fillers can help in regaining that volume and bring back the charm of your skin.
Types of Mesotherapy
There are 3 different types of mesotherapy depending on injection technique of the needle: point by point, comprehensive and upper skin injections. Mesotherapy is also divided into body, face and hair mesotherapy. In addition, mesotherapy can be divided into needle and needle-free mesotherapy.
