Combination, Oily or Dry Skin: On Which Skin Types Does Mesotherapy Give the Best Result?

Mesotherapy is the injection of a mixture specially prepared for the skin's need under the skin with micro-needles. This mixture helps to provide the skin's moisture balance, increase collagen production and fight free radicals.

The application is usually done:

• To the face, neck and décolleté area

• At intervals of 2 to 4 weeks

• In an average of 4-6 sessions.

The results become more apparent as the sessions progress. Mesotherapy, when planned specific to the skin type, provides maximum benefit.

Every individual's skin is different. Genetic structure, environmental factors and lifestyle directly affect the skin's oil, moisture and sebum balance. For this reason it is extremely important to make a "personalised content choice" in mesotherapy.

Below, let us examine the effects of mesotherapy separately for three basic skin types:

Combination skin is a skin type in which the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) is usually oily; and other areas such as the cheeks and eye area are dry or normal. Achieving balance in this skin type is quite difficult because it is necessary to both control oiliness and provide moisture support to the drying areas at the same time.

Mesotherapy offers an ideal solution at this point.

• It regulates the sebum balance of the oily areas.

• It provides moisture support to the dry areas.

• It balances the skin tone, giving it brightness.

• It helps tighten the pores.

In individuals with combination skin, regional content differentiation may be needed according to the needs of the areas to be treated. This requires a professional evaluation process.

Oily skin usually looks shiny, has large pores and is prone to acne. Since sebum production is more than normal, it both creates aesthetic concerns and makes it difficult for the skin to breathe.

Mesotherapy provides the following benefits in oily skin:

• It helps balance sebum production.

• Thanks to antibacterial ingredients, it reduces the tendency towards acne.

• It relieves inflammation in the skin.

• It tightens the pores and gives a matte appearance.

In some cases, skin-cleansing procedures can also be combined as support for mesotherapy. Especially in the summer months, the results obtained from mesotherapy in oily skin are quite satisfying. However, the content must definitely be chosen by considering the tendency to oiliness.

Dry skin is characterised by a feeling of tightness, flaking and a tendency to wrinkling. The lack of moisture under the skin can accelerate the signs of ageing over time. For this reason moisture support is a must for dry skin.

The main effects of mesotherapy on dry skin:

• It provides intense moisture support.

• It reduces the appearance of fine lines in the skin.

• It gives elasticity and brightness.

• It renews the skin by supporting collagen production.

In dry skin, mesotherapy cocktails with a high hyaluronic-acid content are usually preferred. Thanks to this application, the skin gains a softer, more flexible and more vivid appearance in a short time.

There are some important points to pay attention to after the application. Whatever the skin type, after mesotherapy:

• The skin should not be brought into contact with water for the first 24 hours.

• Make-up should not be done, and the skin should be kept moist.

• Attention should be paid to protection from the sun.

• No cream or serum other than the products recommended by the doctor should be used.

These precautions increase the effect of the application while also preventing undesirable reactions.

Actually, mesotherapy is an effective method for every skin type. What matters is that it is applied to the right person, with the right content and with the right technique. In combination skin, balancing ingredients; in oily skin, purifying and sebum-regulating substances; and in dry skin, intensely moisturising components should be preferred.

In short, mesotherapy, when personalised with a professional evaluation, is a method that can be optimised according to every skin type.

A specialist in aesthetic applications in İzmir, Op. Dr. Ayşe Öznur Akidil ensures that the most effective and safe results are obtained by creating mesotherapy protocols with content suited to her patients' skin type.

Although it is a common and safe application, mesotherapy is not recommended in some cases:

• Pregnant and breastfeeding women

• Those with an infectious disease

• Individuals with a bleeding disorder or clotting problem

• People with an active skin disease

For this reason a detailed health evaluation must be made before the application, and the person's general health condition must be taken into account as much as the skin type.

Combination, oily or dry… Every skin type has its own needs and difficulties. Mesotherapy is a powerful and scientific method that responds to these needs. However, to obtain effective results, it is of great importance that the application is planned specific to the skin type and carried out by professional hands.

Preferred with confidence in the field of aesthetics in İzmir, Op. Dr. Ayşe Öznur Akidil determines personalised mesotherapy contents by analysing each client's skin structure in detail and follows the process meticulously. In this way, a noticeable improvement is provided not only in your skin appearance but also in your general skin health.
