by What is Medium treatment?
Medium treatment is a medical cosmetic technique that involves multiple injections of pharmaceutical and homeopathic medications, plant extracts, vitamins, and other ingredients into subcutaneous fat.
History of Medium treatment
Medium treatment was developed in France in the 1950s by Dr. Michel Pistor. However, it did not gain widespread popularity until the 1990s. Dr. Pistor discovered that deeper injections into the mesoderm (middle layer of skin between the epidermis and dermis) help dissolve fat cells and can improve the appearance of cellulite. Today, medium treatment is used not only for reducing cellulite but also for tightening skin, reducing wrinkles and stretch marks, and improving overall skin health and tone.
How Mesotherapy Works
Mesotherapy In a medium treatment treatment, a medium treatment solution is injected superficially into the mesodermal layer of skin using very thin needles. The solutions contain ingredients like plant hormones, aminophylline, caffeine, vitamin complexes, enzymes, mineral salts, and other agents. When injected, these ingredients stimulate the body’s natural healing response.
Some key ways medium treatment works include:
– Stimulating circulation and diffusion of nutrients/oxygen to tissues – The microinjections cause minor damage that triggers an inflammatory response, improving blood flow to the site. This helps carry nutrients to skin cells for repair and regeneration.
– Reactivating cellular metabolism – Certain ingredients boost ATP energy production in cells, speeding up the body’s natural rejuvenation processes.
– Impacting fat cells – Some solutions contain ingredients that selectively destroy fat cells or cause them to eliminate stored fat, reducing the appearance of cellulite or fat bulges.
– Skin tightening and toning – By stimulating collagen and elastin production, medium treatment helps firm and tone loose or sagging skin over time.
Potential Benefits of Mesotherapy
Some potential benefits of medium treatment include:
– Reduced cellulite appearance. One of the most common uses is reducing the dimpled appearance of cellulite.
– Improved skin tone and texture. The overall skin tightening effect can refine pores and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
– Diminished stretch marks and scars. Ingredients may help fade the appearance of old stretch marks and scars.
– Weight management aid. For some, it helps reduce pockets of subcutaneous fat when combined with diet and exercise.
– Anti-aging effects. Long term, it supports collagen/elastin synthesis for firmer, more youthful looking skin.
– Other uses. It’s also used for acne reduction, hair loss treatment, and injured area/wound healing support.
Medium treatment Treatments
During a medium treatment treatment, the skin is first cleaned and prepped. A numbing cream may be applied to reduce any discomfort from the injections. Thin injection needles are then carefully inserted at a shallow angle into the mesoderm layer.
Treatment areas typically include problem zones like the cheeks, chin, neck, abs, thighs, buttocks, arms or knees. Multiple, very small injections are administered in a dotted fashion across the area. Most patients feel minimal to no pain.
A typical full face and neck treatment takes 30-45 minutes and consists of 20-50 microinjections. A series of 3-10 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart is normally required to achieve optimal results. At-home supplements or topicals may be recommended between sessions.
Potential Side Effects and Risks
In general, Mesotherapy is very well tolerated when performed by a trained practitioner. Some potential minor side effects can include:
– Bruising or redness around injection sites – This is normal and fades within a few days.
– Minor swelling – Some puffiness after treatment is common but goes down quickly.
– Headaches – Uncommon but may occur in sensitive individuals. Drinking water helps.
– Tingling or itching – A small percentage of patients report temporary tingling.
Serious risks are rare when performed properly. As with any medical procedure, there is a slight infection risk if sterile technique is not followed. Those with certain conditions like severe allergies, medications or bleeding disorders should consult a doctor first. Overall, when done by a qualified provider, medium treatment is a relatively safe cosmetic solution.
Mesotherapy offers a minimally invasive aesthetic alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction for improving problem skin areas. By stimulating collagen/elastin production and destroying fat cells, it enhances skin tone, texture and tightness over time. Multiple sessions help diminish cellulite dimples and stretch marks for a rejuvenated appearance. When done right by a skilled practitioner, medium treatment provides reliable skin enhancement results with little pain or downtime.
