Mesotherapy uses medicines injected into mesoderm layer of skin from where they act on fat and cellulite cells, dissolve or melt them, increase the blood circulation and lymphatic flow in emptied area and make the fat and cellulite cells excreted away by the body. For all these procedures, several mesotherapy products are used including medicines and the injecting devices.
A large number of injecting devices including mesotherapy syringes or mesotherapy needles have been developed for mesotherapy. They insure that the needle only penetrates to a certain depth under skin about two to six millimeters and some devices are fitted specially for smaller syringes and needles while others can be used with larger needles.
Initially, the medicinal solution was injected by hand through syringes but now, the mesotherapists use a specially made needle appearing like an injection gun. They are electric instruments having a sterilized needle filled with cocktail of medicines including vitamins, minerals, amino acids and several other medications.
Whenever your mesotherapist goes to buy mesotherapy needles for your treatment, then they should be 4 mm needles for the parts above the hands and neck used for skin rejuvenation, hair loss, etc while for the rest of the body, they should be 6 mm needles used for fat and cellulite reduction or skin contouring. The syringes used should be 27 to 30 gauges.
A mixture of medicines are put directly into the mesoderm layer of skin by a mesotherapy needle using mesotherapy syringes that increase fat and cellulite removal, strengthening of collagen tissue and stimulation of beta receptors to prevent fat to build up in future. The mesotherapist tells their patients the names of compounds present in the mixture of medicines used in mesotherapy and there is no one basic injectable solution to be used in mesotherapy.
Generally, the mixture contains high therapeutic doses of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The syringes used for the mesotherapy treatments of face and delicate areas differ from those used in other flat areas and the length up to which they penetrate into the skin also differs according to the requirement of the skin.
