Mesoscooter for the body against cellulite: how to use, contraindications, review of drugs for mesotherapy

“Orange peel” on the thighs, stomach, and buttocks spoils the mood of most women. If you start eliminating the defect in the early stages of its development, it is quite possible to restore a beautiful figure and smooth skin. There are many ways to deal with violations. Mesoscooter for cellulite has long proven its effectiveness. It can be used both independently and in a specialized salon.

What is a mesoscooter?

A mesoscooter (or dermaroller) belongs to the category of auxiliary cosmetic devices. It is a rubber or plastic rotating roller mounted on a holder, completely covered with needles. The spikes are made from an alloy of gold and silver, medical steel or titanium. The material does not affect the effectiveness of the procedure in any way, but the durability of the device itself depends on it.

The number of needles varies from 200 to 1080. A mesoscooter with a minimum number of spines is suitable for working on the face and head. Universal devices are equipped with approximately 500-600 spikes. In salons, to combat cellulite in the later stages of development, they use mesoscooters with 900-1100 needles; using them on your own is not recommended.

The characteristics of mesoscooters also vary depending on the length of the spikes:

• less than 0.25 mm - affect only the stratum corneum;
• from 0.3 to 1 mm – reach the epidermis;
• from 1 to 2 mm – the basal layer is pierced;
• from 2 to 3 mm - penetrate to the dermis.

Since cellulite affects the deep layers of the skin, needles 1-3 mm long will be required to eliminate it.

Attention: at home you should not use a mesoscooter with spikes larger than 1.5 mm. Using long needles, a person who does not have special skills can damage the integument.

When purchasing a mesoscooter, you should pay attention to the method of sharpening metal structural elements. It is advisable to give preference to devices with needles treated with diamond or laser. Forged spikes quickly become dull, making the mesoscooter unusable.

In order for cosmetic mesotherapy procedures to be effective and safe, you need to purchase the instrument only in specialized stores that sell professional equipment or in pharmacies. Before purchasing, you should make sure that you have the necessary product quality certificates. Products purchased from dubious sellers at reduced prices can cause serious harm to health.

The use of NEOvial products is effective in eliminating cellulite, in the treatment of stretch marks, scars, and alopecia.

Course use of NEOvial during mesotherapy increases skin elasticity, enhances regeneration processes, and eliminates hyperpigmented spots.

The principle of operation of the mesoscooter

The main cause of cellulite is a violation of local blood circulation and metabolism. As a result, subcutaneous tissue loses its structure, its cells grow and cluster into uneven groups. Due to insufficient supply of nutrients and oxygen, the skin becomes rough, loses elasticity, sags, becomes lumpy, and changes color. If treatment is not started in the early stages of cellulite, foci of necrosis develop on the body.

The effectiveness of the mesoscooter against cellulite is explained by the fact that the device directly affects the root cause of cellulite.

The needles, piercing the integument, create mechanical microtraumas, which provokes a powerful rush of blood to problem areas. Metabolic processes are activated, complex positive changes occur in the layers of the skin:

• the synthesis of elastin and collagen is activated;
• cellular regeneration accelerates;
• the capillary network is restored;
• the required amount of oxygen, nutritional components, and moisture enters the tissues;
• the dermis is freed from waste, toxins, and stagnant fluid;
• elasticity and firmness of the integument increases;
• the relief and color of the epidermis are evened out;
• stretch marks and small wrinkles are smoothed out.

Don't expect a miracle. The skin does not recover after one mesotherapy session, but the first results can be noticed. To enhance the effect, the body is pre-treated with special compounds enriched with bioactive components that accelerate the normalization of the skin structure. According to research, a body mesoscooter with the help of punctures increases tissue permeability up to 400 times. Thanks to this, the active substances penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis and affect its structure.

Correction methods

Sagging body skin - what to do? Of course, you need to correct such a defect in order to give your skin a beautiful elastic state. To do this, cosmetologists can offer you several options for procedures:

• LPG massage. If you undergo a course of such procedures, you will get rid of 20% of the skin area;
• RF lifting. With its help you can tighten your muscles and skin. And you can see the result after just a few sessions;
• biocybernetic therapy. Here there is an impact on various processes that can provoke sagging skin of the body. That is, the procedure helps improve microcirculation, tone muscles, and skin regeneration;
• mesotherapy. Here, special preparations are injected under the skin that restore water balance, saturate the skin with microelements, vitamins, and improve skin turgor;
• Laser, injection biorevitalization. With its help you can make your skin less dry and replenish the lack of moisture;

Types of mesoscooter

In addition to the standard mechanical roller with needles, the cosmetology industry offers electric versions of mesoscooters. They have a similar design, but have additional functions:

• vibration - to improve metabolism, relieve swelling;
• microcurrents - activating collagen synthesis;
• radiation of different wavelengths - destroying pathogenic microorganisms.

According to cosmetologists, the simplest mechanical option best copes with its main task. Models of mesoscooters also differ in their area of ​​application.

Homemade

Mesoscooters for independent use are equipped with the shortest spikes (up to 0.5 mm).

They are usually used to tighten the skin on the face, eliminate wrinkles, and correct minor defects on the body. The devices are safe because they do not affect the deeper layers of the skin.

Cosmetic rollers

This group includes rollers with needles with a length of 0.5 to 1 mm. Suitable for smoothing scars and lightening hyperpigmented areas. Effective against the initial stage of cellulite.

Women use these rollers at home, but it is better if they are used by a specialist in a beauty salon. Inept use of a cosmetic mesoscooter can severely damage the basal layer of the skin.

Taking Precautions

The mesoscooter is a device intended only for individual use.

The needles of the roller come into contact with the skin and blood vessels, so theoretically they can be infected with pathogenic microorganisms.

When using dermarollers, you must adhere to the following rules:

• Store the disinfected and dried device only in an individual tube;
• Do not use rollers with needles larger than 2 mm at home;
• Handle the device with care. Impacts and falls of the device lead to deformation of the needles, which makes its further use impossible.

Cosmetologists strongly advise using only solutions purchased in pharmacies for mesotherapy.

Non-sterile products can cause infection of the subcutaneous layers. When choosing medications, you need to take into account the main skin defects.

Indications

Mesoscooters are used to solve problems such as:

• enlarged pores;
• local fat deposits;
• sagging skin;
• mimic or age wrinkles;
• thickening of the stratum corneum;
• dark spots;
• stretch marks;
• atrophic scars, scars;
• cellulite stages 1-3;
• post-acne;
• hypermelanosis;
• striae.

Mesoscooters are effective in the treatment of alopecia. Mechanical irritation of the scalp normalizes the supply of hair follicles with nutrients and promotes their restoration.

Skin care after the procedure

There is virtually no rehabilitation after using a mesoscooter. For 2-3 days after the procedure, you must avoid ultraviolet radiation, do not sunbathe or visit a solarium.

Try to refrain from using cosmetic products and physical activity that leads to increased sweating. Foreign substances can irritate the skin and create an environment suitable for the development of bacteria. To prevent infection and inflammatory processes, the treated skin areas are cleansed with an antiseptic.

Contraindications

Mesotherapy is not suitable for everyone. Contraindications to the procedure are divided into two groups: absolute and temporary.

The first category includes:

• cardiovascular diseases;
• phlebeurysm;
• epilepsy;
• protruding moles or papillomas in the treatment area;
• poor blood clotting;
• the presence of oncological tumors of any etiology;
• active phase of tuberculosis;
• diabetes;
• tendency to scarring;
• thrombophlebitis;
• individual intolerance to the components of meso-cocktails.

Attention: it is forbidden to use a mesoscooter on the nipple areola or genital area.

Girls with conditions such as:

• microdamage to the integument;
• inflammation;
• acne;
• ARVI, influenza;
• exacerbation of herpes;
• elevated body temperature.

Pregnant, nursing mothers, and girls taking anticoagulants or corticosteroids will have to refuse the procedures. Women with rosacea should use a needle roller with extreme caution.

Rules for using the mesoscooter

A mesotherapy session consists of three equivalent stages: preparatory, main and final. None of them can be neglected. How effective and safe the manipulation will be depends on this.

Preparatory stage

First you need to prepare the device itself. To prevent infection, the mesoscooter should be treated with an antiseptic. Suitable for this:

• Chlorhexidine;
• hydrogen peroxide (3%);
• Miramistin;
• medical alcohol (75°).

The mesoscooter must be placed in the solution so that it completely covers the roller and needles. Leave for a quarter of an hour, then dry thoroughly, avoiding contact of the spikes with other surfaces.

To prepare your body for the session, you need to take a shower or bath with soap and gel. Use a scrub to open pores. Softened skin will significantly increase the effectiveness of the entire manipulation.

Skin treatment with a mesoscooter

Apply the selected meso cocktail to the cleaned surfaces. Typically, such products are equipped with a special sprayer. The drug should not be distributed over the entire body at once, but into small areas of problem areas, since it is recommended to use a roller on a slightly damp epidermis.

After treatment, the mesoscooter should be gently pressed to the body and glide over problem areas. Movements should be smooth, with light pressure (do not press too hard). The device must be moved strictly in straight lines:

• horizontal;
• verticals;
• diagonals.

Attention: it is prohibited to perform circular, wave, or return movements. Such actions easily damage the skin.

During the first three sessions, five repetitions are allowed in each direction. Then the number of approaches is gradually increased to ten. It is permissible to carry out manipulations twice a week.

Some discomfort felt during mesotherapy is normal. When using a mesoscooter with spikes larger than 2 mm, you can pre-treat the skin with an anesthetic spray. It is good to work on different parts of the body with separate devices with needles of different lengths.

The final stage

The mesotherapy session must be completed by applying a nourishing or moisturizing cream. You can hold a soothing fabric or alginate mask on your body for half an hour.

When you need to leave the house after mesotherapy, exposed skin must be treated with a 40SPF+ sunscreen.

The microtubules left from the needles remain open for another couple of hours. Therefore, it is permissible to reuse the meso cocktail. Through punctures, the active components of the mixtures will penetrate into the deep layers of the skin. When the holes close, the healing substances will remain inside the tissues. The injection marks will disappear after a few hours. The anti-cellulite effect will become visually noticeable after about the third session.

Stages of using the Roller

So, we learned how to use the device and prepared the dermis for manipulation. What to do next?

For greater effect, you can use active substances according to your skin type. The best product is considered to be hyaluronic acid. But there are other equally effective means, for example, collagen, vitamins, meso cocktail.

Let's look at how to do a massage with a meso cocktail.

• Apply the meso cocktail to the treated area.
• Work it in different directions. To achieve a greater effect, treat a small area, for example, only the forehead or just the cheeks.
• Then apply another layer of cocktail.
• Cocktails can also be applied after treating the skin with a roller, that is, first massage, then apply the product.
• After the procedure, it is best to apply a soothing cream.
• Do not forget to disinfect the device again and put it in the case.

Each zone must be treated this way.

How the procedure is carried out in the salon

A visit to a cosmetologist begins with a detailed interview with the patient, during which the specialist will clarify the presence of chronic diseases and make sure there are no contraindications. Mesotherapy does not require special training. The only recommendation is to avoid alcohol, fatty and fried foods on the day of the procedure.

The procedure in the salon follows the following scheme:

1. The cosmetologist cleanses and disinfects the skin.
2. The body is treated with an anesthetic drug.
3. When the medicine takes effect, a meso cocktail is distributed over the problem area.
4. The specialist works on the bumpy areas with a roller.
5. The meso cocktail is reapplied.
6. A healing, soothing composition is applied.

Attention: the mesoscooter is an item for individual use. The cosmetologist must print it in the presence of the patient!

The manipulation lasts from 30 minutes to one hour, depending on the degree of cellulite development and the affected area.

Price

On average, the price of one such procedure in a salon is 1000 - 1500 rubles. The exact numbers are determined by the type of problem presenting, the duration of exposure, the type of drug used, and a number of other additional factors. A full course of therapy using a mesoscooter involves at least 5 - 7 procedures with a total cost of 7 thousand rubles.

To save money, many patients purchase devices for personal use and use them themselves. The price of the simplest model is approximately 1000 - 2000 rubles, you will also need to purchase a suitable medicinal drug, and if your skin is sensitive, an anesthetic cream.

Course duration

A course of mesotherapy consists of 5-15 sessions, depending on the severity of cellulite. Then you need to take a break for 7-15 days. The duration of the interval depends on the individual ability of the dermis to regenerate and the woman’s age. The older the patient, the slower the tissue is restored, therefore, the pause should be longer.

After a break, treatment can be repeated. To eliminate cellulite in the initial stage, one course is enough. In advanced cases, two or three cycles of manipulation are required.

Expert advice

1. Roll the roller near the eyes, nose, and neck only along the massage lines, without pressure, slowly, carefully.
2. When changing the direction of movement of the roller, it is necessary to tear it off the skin, then place it at the desired angle.
3. You cannot turn the roller without lifting it from the epidermis.
4. Be careful when treating the eyelids and area around the lips!
5. The duration of the manipulation should not exceed 15-20 minutes. For thin epidermis with red mesh – 10 minutes. A course of 10-20 procedures.
6. After the course, a break of 30 days is required, that is, you can treat another area. For example, after manipulations on the abdomen, you can treat the head.
7. During the procedure, blood may appear; treat the area with Octenisept spray.
8. Do not wash off medicated serums or other medications. It is better to apply a moisturizing mask to the skin for 20 minutes to enhance the absorption of nutrients (a mask made from plant collagen).
9. Apply sunscreen.

Preparations for mesotherapy

For procedures with a mesoscooter, formulations are produced for home or professional use. They differ from each other in the percentage of active ingredients. You can purchase concentrates aimed at solving a specific problem, and cocktails - complex products. For mesotherapy, the latter are preferable.

Manufacturers include the following in the composition of effective drugs:

• micro-macroelements;
• caffeine;
• organic acids;
• anesthetics;
• fat burners;
• vitamins of different groups;
• L-carnitine;
• hyaluronic acid;
• plant extracts and other components.

Attention: only drugs designed for this manipulation are allowed to be used with the mesoscooter.

Ordinary ointments, creams, gels can provoke an unpredictable reaction in the body. For example, fats in high concentrations lead to clogging of punctures and the development of inflammatory processes.

Mesococktails are included in the product lines of many major cosmetics manufacturers. Let us examine in more detail the main characteristics of some mixtures.

HIKARI Laboratories serum anti-cellulite cocktail for mesoscooter, Cellulite Meso-cocktail

Negative reactions

Adverse reactions of the body after mesotherapy are in most cases insignificant and disappear completely within two to three days without special treatment.

A woman may experience:

• redness of the skin;
• discomfort and pain during injections;
• minor swelling;
• feeling of numbness in areas of the skin;
• injection marks and bruises disappear within two to three days;

The higher the qualifications of the doctor, the lower the risk of vessel damage or infection. Adverse reactions pass without a trace, without causing any health hazard.

Possible complications

When carried out correctly, mesotherapy sessions rarely cause side effects. Negative consequences are often caused by illiterate use of the mesoscooter or violation of process technology.

Among the most common complications:

• infections;
• itching;
• persistent redness;
• burning;
• drying out of the epidermis;
• hematomas;
• scarring;
• post-traumatic hyperpigmentation.

The active ingredients in cocktails can provoke a powerful allergic reaction, including Quincke's edema.

Side effects

After using the mesoscooter, local redness is observed on the skin within the treated area of ​​the body. Some patients complain of a burning sensation, mild pain and mild swelling. Such side effects last no more than a day and go away on their own.

When using a device with a significant length of needles, be prepared for more serious consequences:

• Formation of hematomas and bruises.
• An increase or decrease in pressure.
• Increased heart rate.
• Fibrosis of soft tissues.

Reviews

Most girls who have used a mesoscooter at home note that the device is effective against cellulite, postpartum stretch marks, and “breeches” on the hips. The skin in problem areas becomes smooth, elastic, pigment spots and small blemishes disappear. Body contours are modeled.

Ladies with a pronounced defect admit that independent procedures with a mesoscooter are less effective than salon procedures. They are good to carry out as auxiliary, preparatory ones before going to a specialized medical institution. Women with a low pain threshold or overly sensitive dermis experienced severe pain during manipulation. Sometimes even painkiller sprays did not help. If you endure the discomfort, over time the skin gets used to the effects, and the pain decreases.

Mesoscooters have many advantages. They provide excellent results, significantly reducing the visual signs of cellulite. If the technique is followed, the manipulations are safe and do not require a long rehabilitation period. However, the list of contraindications for mesotherapy is quite large, so it is advisable to consult a doctor before starting treatment. This will help prevent dangerous complications. It is important to remember that a long-term effect can be achieved only when the sessions are combined with nutritional correction, dosed physical exercise, and giving up bad habits.
