Mesotherapy and biorevitalization: what is the difference?

Today, injection cosmetology techniques such as mesotherapy and biorevitalization are very popular. Both procedures, in fact, give a visible effect due to the active ingredients that are delivered by injection directly into the skin tissue, having a rejuvenating and firming effect on them. The result is visible almost immediately. However, before choosing a particular cosmetic procedure, you should familiarize yourself with the features, advantages and disadvantages of each of them. It will be equally important to find out the advice of specialists, professional cosmetologists and reviews of clients who have already tested these procedures.

Mesotherapy and biorevitalization are relatively new facial procedures in cosmetology, but, despite their not-so-long existence, they have already managed to gain the trust of many women around the globe. They are preferred by ladies at any age.

The mesotherapy procedure appeared a little earlier than biorevitalization, but this does not mean at all that it is worse.

The features of both procedures include their high efficiency. This is primarily due to the fact that with the help of special injections, which are administered subcutaneously, higher concentrations of anti-aging and auxiliary components are created in the layers of the epidermis than, for example, using conventional anti-aging creams.

Mesotherapy is a procedure for introducing active substances into the skin.

Most often, cosmetologists use the following components:

• vitamins and minerals (both single components and their mixtures can be used);
• amino acids;
• various extracts of plant origin;
• enzymes;
• hyaluronic acid;
• antioxidant substances;
• other medicines.

Regarding cosmetology, very often mesotherapy is used to eliminate imperfections on the face, but there are also cases when, by injection, get rid of cellulite and other imperfections of the dermis on the body. In addition, as an auxiliary procedure, mesotherapy can be used in such fields of medicine as dermatology, gynecology and neurology.

Mesotherapy injections are not very deep, usually just a few millimeters into the middle layers of the epidermis. The procedure is performed either using disposable syringes, or using a special meso-injector. A big plus of the second is its painlessness and fixation of each puncture to the same depth. In total, the specialist performs 70-100 microinjections during the procedure. Depending on the part of the body the professional is working with, the number of injections can vary up or down. The mixtures introduced under the skin are most often liquid, without impurities. As a rule, the client does not experience pain during the procedure, especially if all preparatory measures have been taken.

Biorevitalization is the introduction of subcutaneous injections of drugs exclusively with hyaluronic acid. This acid is considered very useful, since it is produced in the body of every person and is part of many tissues. In addition, this acid is indeed a lifesaver, since it is involved in many important processes in our body. It especially affects tissue regeneration, stimulation of the synthesis of elastin and, in addition, hyaluronic acid improves the production of collagen fibers.

Biorevitalization differs from mesotherapy in that the injections are not in the middle, but in the deep layers of the dermis and exclusively at equally spaced points on the skin. The consistency of the injected solutions is most often gel-like.

Since the mechanism of action of mesotherapy and biorevitalization on the skin and the body as a whole is slightly different, their indications for use vary slightly.

Most often, mesotherapy is recommended:

• to improve the general condition of the face and its color;
• to eliminate the first signs of aging;
• to get rid of age spots;
• with rosacea and acne;
• to get rid of facial imperfections (scars, scars, wrinkles, dark circles and bags under the eyes);
• with primary signs of wilting of the skin.

As for biorevitalization, its experts most often recommend it to women and men, in the body of which the production of hyaluronic acid is reduced. This procedure acts purposefully and exclusively on certain areas of the impact of injections.

It is recommended to choose biorevitalization in cases:

• severe dry skin, as well as with visible signs of fatigue that do not go away on their own;
• prevention of early skin aging;
• for smoothing crow's feet on the skin of the face, as well as wrinkles and small wrinkles;
• when restoring the water balance in the skin;
• to normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands;
• to reduce age spots and as a prevention of their further appearance.

Contraindications for both cosmetic procedures are almost the same.

Both procedures should not be performed with:

• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• possible allergic reactions to certain components that will be administered by injection;
• skin prone to scarring;
• psoriasis, as well as with various infectious skin diseases in those places where the procedure will be performed;
• the presence of abrasions, cuts or bruises at the puncture site;
• bleeding disorder, if indicated by appropriate tests.

Many experts are sure that both procedures are best not to be combined with other injection and hardware procedures that can harm the skin or the body as a whole. It is not recommended to simultaneously peel and polish the skin with a laser.

If a specialist took into account all the features of the client’s body and skin, then the procedure, as a rule, does not cause further complications. Mild inflammation on the skin is sometimes noted as side effects, but they go away pretty quickly. If you experience allergies, prolonged inflammation, itching, and other disturbing symptoms, you should immediately consult a doctor.

Both procedures differ in terms of the duration of the preservation of the result from the drugs, the moment of their onset and the number of necessary injections for a certain period of time.

The duration of the course of the mesotherapy or biorevitalization procedure depends on a particular case and individual indications. The number of courses should be determined by the appropriate specialist.

As a rule, with biorevitalization, improvements are immediately noticeable. The number of procedures will directly depend on the general condition of the skin at the first stage of injection. According to experts, in order to achieve the best effect, about five procedures on average may be needed to lift the face, restore the old contour and get rid of wrinkles. But, of course, this figure is approximate. Very often, clients need supportive and corrective therapy after some time. Basically, the visible effect of the procedure lasts up to six months.

As for mesotherapy, then from it, as a rule, there is no instant pronounced effect. A certain amount of time must pass for this. However, the cumulative effect of this procedure is much higher and can last up to 1 year. In order to get an excellent result, it may take up to seven or even ten procedures. The intervals between them are negotiated exclusively with a specialist, taking into account all the wishes and characteristics of the client.

We can safely say that no procedure will please with its long-lasting effect if after it is not taken care of the skin properly. To maintain the beauty of the face and body will have to be patient and with high-quality home care products. And you also have to take care of your own proper and rational nutrition, establishing the daily routine and giving up bad habits that adversely affect the body as a whole.

Choosing a procedure solely on indications from the Internet is simply illogical. Each case is individual. The choice in favor of a particular procedure should be made by the appropriate specialist.

Both procedures are ideal for the prevention of the first signs of skin aging. At the age of 30-35 and after 40, biorevitalization is most effective to use, because unlike mesotherapy, it gives a visible effect immediately. In addition, it is at this age that the body may catastrophically lack its own hyaluronic acid, which is very important to replenish in the right amount.

Which is better, it is impossible to say unequivocally. Each of the described procedures has its pros and cons, in addition, it is necessary to take into account the financial situation, since one procedure is not enough, and you have to complete several courses to achieve the best effect.

Experts advise many representatives of the fair sex, especially at a young age, to pay attention to mesotherapy, since it has a very wide range of uses, and as an injection, you can use many different means and compositions that can be selected one at a time or in combination.

To perform this or that procedure, preference should be given exclusively to professionals from licensed beauty salons and beauty parlors. Do not save on injections, otherwise it is fraught with serious consequences. Depending on the complex of injections and firms, prices can really hit the wallet, you need to count on this in advance.

To combat very deep wrinkles, it is best, of course, to give preference to cocktails with hyaluronic acid, which instantly solve several problems at once. Dense-structured drugs can correct very visible signs of aging in just a few treatments.

If you are not sure that you can handle the selection of the desired procedure yourself, it is best to use the help of specialists. They will tell in more detail the difference between the procedures and make an individual scheme for eliminating imperfections on the skin.
