What is fractional face mesotherapy. The essence of the method
Fractional mesotherapy for the face, reviews of which are mostly positive, consists of microinjections not over the entire surface of the skin, but only in specific areas. Be sure to consider that the distance between the punctures must be the same.
This technique involves the formation of therapeutic microinjection zones with microdamages of a width of 300 microns and a depth of 1/32 inch to 5/32 inch. Depth may vary depending on the size of the problem area of the skin and the thickness of the skin. Fractional mesotherapy is used on the skin of the neck, abdomen, cheeks and decollete.
During the procedure, nutrients are transported to the deeper layers of the skin, and due to microtraumatic effects on the tissue, active regeneration takes place, and a therapeutic effect occurs.
The essence of the method is to remove old skin microzones, on the site of which a new tissue is formed.
The cosmetologist acts on the damaged skin with the device, causing a lot of injections. Around them there are intact islets of skin that are considered a “mobilization zone”. From these zones, stem “sleeping” cells, which are the beginning of new skin, move to damaged areas. Aseptic inflammation is formed in the areas after injections, which is removed by microphages.
Fibroblasts from intact skin migrate to the punctured one and in a day lead it to a healthy state. Elastins and collagen are produced, the cell framework and the basal layer are restored, and new cells are formed.
The injections are easily tolerated, patients note that the pain is 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, unpleasant sensations on the face are possible.
What is the difference between fractional and conventional mesotherapy
Fractional mesotherapy has some differences from the usual.
| Fractional mesotherapy | Classical Mesotherapy |
| Multiple mesococtails are used simultaneously, a double effect is achieved. | Only one type of mesococktail is used. |
| Point microinjections are made, piercing part of the problem area | The doctor completely cuts off the problem area |
| The process is controlled by the apparatus. | There is a human factor that allows you to disrupt the depth of injection |
| Pain does not cause discomfort | Strong pain |
With fractional mesotherapy for the face, the rehabilitation process, according to reviews, takes a minimum of time. A day later, you can use makeup and hair removal. Fractional mesotherapy more effectively solves cosmetic problems, and correctly selected equipment allows you to do without prior anesthesia.
