At all times, women watched their appearance and used different methods to combat age-related changes. Modern cosmetology does not stand still, research is carried out every year and new technologies are created to preserve youthful skin.

One of the innovations is fractional mesotherapy for the face. Numerous reviews indicate the effectiveness and painlessness of this procedure.

What is fractional face mesotherapy. Method essence

Fractional mesotherapy for the face, reviews of which are mostly positive, consists in conducting microinjections not over the entire surface of the skin, but only in specific areas. It should be taken into account that the distance between the punctures must be the same.

This technique involves the formation of therapeutic microinjection zones with microdamages 300 microns wide and from 0.5 mm to 4 mm deep. The depth can be different depending on the size of the problematic area of ​​the skin and the thickness of the skin. Fractional mesotherapy is used on the skin of the neck, abdomen, cheeks and décolleté.

During the procedure, nutrients are transported to the deep layers of the skin, and also due to the microtraumatic effect on the tissue, active regeneration occurs, and a therapeutic effect is exerted.

The essence of the method is to remove old microzones of the skin, in the place of which new tissue is formed.

The cosmetologist applies the apparatus to the damaged skin, applying many injections. There are intact islets of skin around them, which are considered a “mobilization zone”. Dormant stem cells move from these zones to the damaged areas, which are the beginning of new skin. In the areas after injections, aseptic inflammation is formed, which is removed by microphages.

Fibroblasts from intact skin migrate to the punctured skin and bring it to a healthy state within 24 hours. Elastins and collagen are produced, the cell framework and the basal layer are restored, new cells are formed.

Injections are easily tolerated, patients note that painful sensations are tolerated comfortably. This is facilitated by a high-tech injection technique, a high puncture rate, and a special needle shape that facilitates easier penetration. In some cases, depending on the degree of sensitivity, discomfort on the face is possible.
