Mesotherapy Products

   
Author: Jason Gluckman
 

Mesotherapy Products include a variety of substances that are injected during treatment, and injection devices used to deliver these substances to target areas. Substances used for treatment may be allopathic drugs, homeopathic compounds, vitamins, herbal extracts, or other compounds.

For cellulite treatment and localized fat reduction, practitioners use compounds that efficiently remove fat from cells and move this fat into the general circulation, to be burned during metabolism or excreted. Phosphatidlycholine, or lecithin, is one such compound, and is widely used. Caffeine, L-carnitine and the asthma drug aminophylline are other compounds used for fat reduction. Natural compounds such as artichoke stimulate lymphatic flow to remove fat. Tiratricol, a drug that was originally developed to treat some types of thyroid cancer, is also an efficient fat burner.

For mesolifts or facelifts using mesotherapy, several drugs are available for injection under facial skin to improve skin tone and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Estrogen derivatives such as 17 B-estradiol stimulate new collagen formation. Glycosaminoglycans is a natural compound that forms linkages between collagen fibers. Naturally occurring alpha hydroxy acids such as glycolic acid are also used for mesolifts.

The action of many compounds used in mesotherapy is thought to be enhanced by adding other compounds that increase or improve local circulation. Some such circulation-enhancing compounds are pentoxifylline, buflomedil, and the naturally occurring gingko biloba. To reduce pain during mesotherapy injections, local anesthetics may be added to the injection mix.

A number of specialized injection delivery devices have been developed for mesotherapy. These ensure that the needle only penetrates to a certain depth under the skin, typically two to six millimeters. Some devices are specially fitted for smaller syringes and needles, while others can be used with larger needles. Automated devices often come with dose selection options.
