Classics and modernity: what mesotherapy can do
Basic techniques of mesotherapy drug administration
Modern mesotherapy techniques include both injection and non-injection methods aimed at rejuvenating and improving the condition of the skin. Injection techniques involve the introduction of drugs directly into the skin using microinjections, while non-injection techniques use other methods, such as exposure to pressurized oxygen to deliver active substances.
At the beginning of the material, we focused in detail on classical, Pistoriev, mesotherapy. Let's continue the review of the main injection techniques for mesotherapeutic drug administration, ending with the latest developments in this field.
Epidermal technique
Is an additional mesotherapy technique. It was first described by Dr. Jean-Jacques Perrin in October 1995 at a congress in Bordeaux (France). It is considered the most superficial technique, it was developed specifically for use in children. It is performed using a 0.3 x 13 mm needle. The needle cut during the injection is directed upwards. If the technique is performed correctly, dermographism appears. The appearance of scratches is unacceptable. The pressure should not exceed 40 g (taking into account the flexibility of the needle). The penetration time during the initial session is about 3-7 minutes. During subsequent sessions, penetration is faster - the skin seems to "drink" the drug like a sponge.
Indications for use: administration of vitamin and multivitamin complexes, as well as cocktails aimed at treating hyperpigmentation.
