MESOTHERAPY
Mesotherapy has been used in medicine for many years. It consists in injecting small doses of a drug right to the affected areas of the skin. Intradermal injections of nutrients, delivered to face, neck, décolletage, thinning hair area, buttocks, tighs and abdomen, account for mesotherapy's efficacy in preventing skin aging, hair loss and cellulite formation. Treatments may be performed manually only by a physician by means of a needle and syringe of appropriate size, or mechanically, using a special-purpose mesotherapy gun. Injectable solutions are blends of revitalising and regenerating ingredients. The composition is tailored to the treatment type and the patient's needs.
Side effects: • slight pain during the injection, an anaesthetic may be applied prior to the treatment (i.e. EMLA cream) • minor bleeding and bruises, may be diminished by exerting pressure during the treatment • erythema or swelling, the skin's reaction to injection of no allegic background, may last for a couple of hours after the treatment • very rare inflammation at the injection site, usually due to insufficient sterilization or make-up put on too fast • very rare allergic reactions, marked by swelling, which subsides within a few minutes or days. Antihistamine treatments are infrequent.
Characteristics of selected active ingredients:
Organic silicon dioxide
Organic silicone dioxide is a structural component of connective tissue. It is contained in elastin, collagen and structural proteoglycans. At the tissue level it induces the proliferation of fibroblasts and encourages the regeneration of elastin and collagen fibres. It's the most common substance in mesotherapy (used for for skin aging and hair loss prevention, and for cellulite mesotherapy). It regulates cell transformation and division.
Dexpantenol
Dexpantenol is an organic acid, produced during the reduction of panthotenic acid (vitamin B5). It gets easily oxidized into panthotenic acid in the organism. Vitamin B5 is a vital component of Coenzyme A (CoA). CoA influences the regeneration and nutrition of hair structure.
Hyaluronic acid (mesolift)
Hyaluronic acid is a natural polysaccharide. It represents mucopolysaccharides, which fill intercellular spaces within the skin.
Unique properties of the acid are attributed to its exceptionally high mocelular mass and considerable volume. Entangled hyaluronic acid chains fill collagen interfibrillar spaces and hold water, acting like a molecular sponge.
Mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid is ideal for enhancing the moisturization of face, neck and décolletage skin.
Oligoelements
Trace elements, known as oligoelements, constitute 0.01% or even less of total body mass. They are essential for almost all biological processes in the organism. The content of zinc in the solution is vital. It possesses anti-inflammatory and sebum-regulating action. Oligoelements are applicable in mesotherapy of face and hair with seborrheic problems.
Artichoke extract
Its chief active constituents are polyphenol acids (among others cynarin). For cellulite mesotherapy it is used in combination with other substances such as: organic silicone dioxide, yellow sweet clover and rutin extract, tiratricol. Cynarin also affects glucose and lipid metabolism. It inhibits cholesterol synthesis and favours its conversion to bile acids.
Cantella Asiatica extract
The extract stimulates collagen biosynthesis in the dermis. High tannin concentration slows the aging process. The extract synthetizes with orger ingredients such as pyruvic acid (pyruvate) or organic silicone dioxide.
Yellow sweet clover and rutine extract
It combines two active ingredients: coumarin derivatives from yellow sweet clover and water-soluble rutin. They diminish swelling, enhance capillary resistance and tightness, affect precapillary sphincters. Impairing the activity of enzymes such as hyaluronidase and reductase is yet another benefit. The preparation is applied in cellulite mesotherapy for microcirculation and lymph reflux enhancement.
NCTF
The formula of this biologically pure solution is based on 5 groups of biologically active compounds: • vitamins • amino acids • minerals • coenzymes • nucleic acids
Due to the nature of its components, the preparation stimulates variuos biological metabolic processes in the skin, mature skin regeneration and the repair of injured dermal tissue. NCTF formula has been designed to support various biochemical reactions related to the maintenance of dermal architecture, either by supplementation or by the complementation of:
• vitamins performing anti-deficiency functions • amino acids allowing better protein structure
• minerals guaranteeing better balance of the medium • coenzymes activating biochemical reactions • nucleic acids stimulating protein synthesis
NCTF is in the form of pure solution, hence its excellent bioaccessibility.
Treatment frequency There must be a one week interval between the first two treatments. Later on, the intervals must be scheduled as follows: the third treatment after three weeks, the fourth treatment after four weeks, and the following ones - every two months. The effects accumulate over time and are more pronounced after a couple of teatments, which is connected to cell renewal. It is recommended to undergo follow-up treatments every 6 months to sustain the effect
NCTF HA
NCTF HA is a vitamin complex, enriched with hyaluronic acid. It's ingredients, beside nourishing the skin and accelerating its natural regeneration, afford an immediate moisturization and firmness effect.
Treatment frequency. • 1 treatment every 10 days for a month • 1 treatment every month for 4 months
Embryoblasts
Embryoblasts are cellular extracts intended for injections. They stimulate proper regeneration functions of the skin and encourage fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin. Embryoblasts are applied to diminish the signs of aging such as wrinkles and sagging. Cell extracts can be applied along side other aesthetic treatments. The preparation actively revitalizes décolletage and neck.
Treatment frequency The best way is to have a shock therapy consisting of 2-3 treatments at 7-10 day intervals. Subsequent teatments should be administered after 15 days, 3 weeks and a month respectively. Treatments should be performed on a monthly basis as long as a gradual improvement is seen, as benefits tend to accumulate. The following intervals between the treatments should be increased to 2, 3 and 6 months. No overdose is possible, but effects may be unsatisfactory due to an insufficient number of treatments.
Conjonctyl
It's main component is monomethyltrisilanol salicylate. Silicon contained in the preparation affects connective tissue regeneration. It is a component of elastin, collagen and structural glycoproteins. At the tissue level it induces the proliferation of fibroblasts and encourages the regeneration of elastin and collagen fibres. The regeneration of epidermal cells is regulated, the degradation of elastin, collagen and proteoglycans is hindered. The use of silanols in aesthetic medicine is very extensive due to their protective, nourishing, regenerating and lipolytical action. They demonstrate no toxic and allergy-inducing properties and are very well tolerated.
Indications: • wrinkles: may be applied to delay skin aging processes, also in conjunction with dermal filling treatments • cellulite • skin stretches • acne, scarring.
Counterindications: • allergy to salicylates.
