Today's cosmetic clients want non-invasive treatments with minimal downtime. Therefore, it's no wonder mesotherapy is such a popular procedure. During mesotherapy treatments, substances like vitamins and antioxidants are injected into the skin to improve and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and cellulite. This technique uses very fine needles to deliver a series of injections into the skin's middle layer, the mesoderm.
Many mesotherapy treatment plans involve six to ten weekly visits, though approaches vary by provider. Fine-gauge mesotherapy needles are designed to support patient comfort and may help reduce downtime, which can contribute to a positive treatment experience. In addition, using the correct size needles ensures that the injection stays within the target area to achieve the desired results.
When shopping for needles, here's what you should look for to guarantee a positive mesotherapy experience for your clients.
There are no standard dermatological protocols for mesotherapy, but there are some best practices that have evolved over thousands of years. After all, mesotherapy is hardly a new practice.
Historical records have traced mesotherapy back to ancient Indian and Chinese medicine. During the mid-1800s, physicians throughout Europe experimented with the effects of injecting morphine and other medications into layers of the skin for therapeutic purposes. However, it wasn't until 1958 that Michel Pistor coined the term "mesotherapy" to describe inoculation into the dermis.
It is typical for 5ml or 10ml conventional syringes to be used for mesotherapy. Some clinicians may use 30-34 gauge needles ranging from 4mm - 13mm in length. The smaller gauges help to reduce pain when injecting, while the shorter lengths help to ensure the injection is intradermal. Choosing sterile and disposable products helps ensure patient safety.
In addition to precise measurements, recent advances in needle technology offer distinct advantages. Features such as low dead space and minimal needle hub volume help prevent product loss, while ultra-sharp needle tips reduce soft tissue trauma during injections. With the wide range of high-quality products available today, you don’t have to compromise on either performance or cost for your patients.
Mesotherapy is a broad term for injecting into the skin and it has several applications. There are different types of mesotherapy, depending on the injection technique, including:
Each mesotherapy method supports different goals, from hydration to contouring, but they all rely on fine-gauge needles that allow for precise injections tailored to the treatment area.
Mesotherapy is also divided into various types, such as hair mesotherapy, mesolifting, and body mesotherapy, based on the treatment area and intended purpose. In addition to the medicinal effects of the injected compounds, mesotherapy is also a form of stimulotherapy that works by the act of needling. Some providers report improved comfort when using finer-gauge needles and careful injection techniques.
While mesotherapy has been studied in a variety of contexts, this article focuses on cosmetic applications such as skin rejuvenation and body contouring.
Educating your staff and clients about the range of uses for this versatile therapy can open new opportunities to expand your business and improve your patients' lives.
Some clients experience bruising and swelling after mesotherapy, requiring a day of downtime. However, many patients don't have extra time to take off from work and other responsibilities so they can recover from the side effects of mesotherapy. Selecting the correct needles is essential to improving your patient's mesotherapy experience during and after treatment.
In addition to patient comfort and safety, it's important to consider costs when choosing the best mesotherapy needles for your practice.
Mesotherapy is a lower-cost option compared to procedures like liposuction. However, it can still run clients up to $500 per session, and multiple sessions are needed. The number and frequency of treatments should depend on the individual's response and goals.
Finding effective and economical products helps transfer cost savings to your patients, improving your competitiveness in the market and increasing access to mesotherapy.
