Mesotherapy and biorevitalization: what's the difference?

Today, such methods of injection cosmetology as mesotherapy and biorevitalization are very popular. Both procedures, in fact, give a visible effect due to the active active ingredients, which are delivered by injection directly into the skin tissue, providing them with a rejuvenating and tightening effect. The result is visible almost immediately. However, before choosing a particular cosmetic procedure, you should familiarize yourself with the features, advantages and disadvantages of each of them. It will be equally important to find out the advice of specialists, professional cosmetologists and feedback from clients who have already tried these procedures.

Mesotherapy and biorevitalization are relatively new facial procedures in cosmetology, but despite their not so long existence, they have already won the trust of many women around the globe. They are preferred by ladies at any age.

The mesotherapy procedure appeared a little earlier than biorevitalization, but this does not mean that it is worse.

The features of both procedures include their high efficiency. This is primarily due to the fact that with the help of special injections, which are injected subcutaneously, higher concentrations of anti-aging and auxiliary components are created in the layers of the epidermis than, for example, using conventional anti-aging creams.

Mesotherapy is a procedure for introducing active substances into the skin.

Most often, cosmetologists use the following components:

• vitamins and minerals (both single components and their mixtures can be used);
• amino acids;
• various herbal extracts;
• enzymes;
• hyaluronic acid;
• antioxidant substances;
• other medicines.

With regard to cosmetology, very often mesotherapy is used to eliminate imperfections on the face, but it is not uncommon for people to get rid of cellulite and other imperfections of the dermis on the body with the help of injections. In addition, as an auxiliary procedure, mesotherapy can be used in such areas of medicine as dermatology, gynecology and neurology.

Mesotherapy injections are not done very deeply, usually only a few millimeters into the middle layers of the epidermis. The procedure is performed either with disposable syringes or with a special mesoinjector. The big advantage of the second is its painlessness and fixation of each puncture to the same depth. In total, the specialist performs 70-100 microinjections for the procedure. Depending on the part of the body the professional is working with, the number of injections can vary up or down. The mixtures injected under the skin are most often liquid, without impurities. As a rule, the client does not experience pain during the procedure, especially if all the preparatory measures have been taken.

Biorevitalization, on the other hand, is the introduction of subcutaneous injections of drugs exclusively with hyaluronic acid. This acid is considered very useful because it is produced in the body of every person and is part of many tissues. In addition, this acid, indeed, is a lifesaver, since it is involved in many important processes in our body. It has a particularly strong effect on tissue regeneration, stimulation of elastin synthesis and, in addition, hyaluronic acid improves the production of collagen fibers.

Biorevitalization differs from mesotherapy also in that injections are carried out not into the middle, but into the deep layers of the dermis and exclusively at points on the skin equidistant from each other. The consistency of the injected solutions is most often gel-like.

Since the mechanism of action of mesotherapy and biorevitalization on the skin and the body as a whole is slightly different, their indications for use differ slightly.

Most often, mesotherapy is recommended:

• to improve the general condition of the face and its color;
• to eliminate the first signs of aging;
• to get rid of age spots;
• with rosacea and acne;
• to get rid of facial imperfections (scars, scars, wrinkles, dark circles and bags under the eyes);
• at the primary signs of skin aging.

As for biorevitalization, experts most often recommend it to women and men in whose body the production of hyaluronic acid is reduced. This procedure acts purposefully and exclusively on certain areas of injection.

It is recommended to choose biorevitalization in the following cases:

• severe dryness of the skin, as well as with visible signs of fatigue that do not go away on their own;
• prevention of early skin aging;
• for smoothing "crow's feet" on the skin of the face, as well as folds and small wrinkles;
• when restoring water balance in the skin;
• to normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands;
• to reduce age spots and to prevent their further appearance.

Contraindications for both cosmetic procedures are almost the same.

Both procedures should not be performed with:

• pregnancy and breastfeeding of the baby;
• possible allergic reactions to certain components that will be injected;
• skin tendency to scarring;
• psoriasis, as well as for various infectious skin diseases in the places where the procedure will be carried out;
• the presence of abrasions, cuts or bruises at the puncture site;
• bleeding disorder, if appropriate tests indicate.

Many experts believe that it is best not to combine both procedures with other injection and hardware procedures that can harm the skin or the body as a whole. It is not recommended to simultaneously peel the skin and resurrect it with a laser.

If the specialist took into account all the characteristics of the client's body and skin, then the procedure, as a rule, does not cause further complications. Sometimes mild skin inflammations are noted as side effects, but they go away rather quickly. If you experience allergies, prolonged inflammation, itching and other alarming symptoms, you should immediately consult a doctor.

Both procedures differ from each other in the duration of the preservation of the result from the drugs, the moment of the onset of their action and in the number of necessary injections for a certain period of time.

The duration of the course of the mesotherapy or biorevitalization procedure depends on the particular case and individual indications. The number of courses should be determined by the appropriate specialist.

As a rule, with biorevitalization, improvements are noticeable immediately. The number of procedures will directly depend on the general condition of the skin at the first stage of the injection. According to experts, in order to achieve the best effect, for a facelift, return to its former contour and get rid of wrinkles, it may take about five procedures on average. But, of course, this figure is approximate. Very often clients need supportive and corrective therapy after some time. Basically, the visible effect of the procedure lasts up to six months.

As for mesotherapy, as a rule, an immediate pronounced effect does not come from it. For this, a certain amount of time must pass. However, the cumulative effect of this procedure is much higher and can last up to 1 year. It may take up to seven or even ten treatments to get great results. The intervals between them are negotiated exclusively with a specialist, taking into account all the wishes and characteristics of the client.

We can safely say that not a single procedure will delight with its long-lasting effect if, after it is carried out, the skin is not properly taken care of. To maintain the beauty of your face and body, you will have to be patient and have quality home care products. And you will also have to take care of your own proper and rational nutrition, establishing a daily regimen and giving up bad habits, which have a detrimental effect on the body as a whole.

It is simply illogical to choose a procedure solely on the basis of indications from the Internet. Each specific case is individual. The choice in favor of a particular procedure should be made by the appropriate specialist.

Both treatments are ideal for preventing the first signs of skin aging. At 30-35 years old and after 40, it is most effective to use biorevitalization, since, unlike mesotherapy, it gives a visible effect immediately. In addition, it is at this age that the body may catastrophically lack its own hyaluronic acid, which is very important to replenish in the right amount.

It is impossible to say for sure which is better.Each of the described procedures has its pros and cons, in addition, you need to take into account the financial situation, since one procedure is not enough, and you have to perform several courses to achieve the best effect.

Experts advise many of the fair sex, especially at a young age, to pay attention to mesotherapy, since it has a very wide range of uses, and as injections, you can use a wide variety of agents and formulations that can be selected individually or in combination.

To perform a particular procedure, preference should be given exclusively to professionals from licensed beauty salons and beauty parlors. You should not save on injections, otherwise it is fraught with serious consequences. Depending on the complex of injections and companies, prices can really hit the wallet, you need to count on this in advance.

To combat very deep wrinkles, it is best, of course, to give preference to cocktails with hyaluronic acid, which instantly solve several problems at once. Dense formulations can correct very visible signs of aging in just a few treatments.

If you are not sure that you can cope with the choice of the desired procedure yourself, it is best to use the help of specialists. They will tell in more detail the difference between the procedures and draw up an individual scheme for eliminating imperfections in the skin.
