Mesotherapy and Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) therapies
Mesotherapy and Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) therapies constitute a non – surgical therapy category applied onto the neck, face, décolleté and body areas (including the back of the hands) by well-trained doctors only. The results are astonishing and more visible as days go by from the date the treatment was administered. No sedation is necessary, there is no possibility of scaring and to make it comfortable for the patients, anaesthetic cream is applied prior to treatments onto sensitive areas.
We need to accept the fact that even the best creams cannot reach the dermis layer, and as years go by, the valuable ingredients our skin needs can be offered only through alternative ways such as the mesotherapy category of treatments that uses very small needles to stimulate the body’s own production of collagen and elastin whilst supporting this rejuvenation process .In classical mesotherapies/boosters we injecte carefully selected ingredients like hyaluronic acid solutions, vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants etc, depending on the patient’s needs, characteristics and priorities. PRP is based on the reconstructive ability of plasma platelets of your own blood after specific and very careful extraction technique.
If applied onto the face area, the result combines deep hydration of the skin and the elimination of those fine and superficial expression lines. You will also benefit from such a treatment if persistent skin discoloration, hyperpigmentation, and black circles under your eyes, have appeared.
Body mesotherapy treatments aim at improving flaccid skin and reducing cellulite.The number of sessions needed depend on the severity of the problem and the overall condition of the skin but as an average 4 to 6 treatment sessions are needed when you start such a therapy approach, and we always start boosting your own skin’s ability to produce structural proteins, elastin and collagen.
The frequency of the therapy sessions depends on a Likert scale; the more you choose this approach, the longer the time intervals between the sessions become, as consistency brings in accumulative advantages.
The benefits of mesotherapy led to the skinpen innovation. Skinpen is designed for accurate microbleeding that as a procedure, activates skin cells to start producing collagen and elastin (as a means to repair ‘damage’). During a skinpen treatment however, additionally to the skin’s own regeneration process activation, by millions of injections per second a cocktail of solutions such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins and hydrating agents (tailored to each patient’s case) is also being injected into the skin’s deeper layers.
The skinpen innovation is suitable for all ages and for both a therapeutic and preventive approach against discoloration, pigmentation, acne scars and expression lines. A well-trained doctor can use this innovative instrument to control the depth of the procedure and thus work on difficult areas like the nose and the areas around the eyes and the lips.
Overall, it is a safe and well tolerated therapy; expect some redness for the first 12 to 24 hours before you judge the result which will delight you with the level of firmness, brightness and smoothness that can be achieved over time.
Consistency is important and the sustainability of the result, especially regarding the elimination of dynamic wrinkles and acne scars is possible, through repetition.
