What is mesotherapy?

Skin is made up of three layers-the Epidermis, Dermis and the Subcutis. Mesotherapy is a procedure of directly injecting certain bioactive substances into the middle layer of the skin i.e., the Dermis.

What are the conditions for which Mesotherapy be performed?

For skin indications like

• Superficial skin hyperpigmentation -Melasma, Post acne hyperpigmentation
• Anti-aging- for skin tightening
• Skin rejuvenation
• Skin glow and hydration

For Hair indications like

• To reduce Hair fall
• To stimulate hair growth

What are the commonly used ingredients for mesotherapy?

• Antioxidants like Glutathione and Vitamin C – decrease pigmentation
• Hyaluronic acid -improves hydration
• Cytokines and growth factors- for cellular stimulation to improve collagen and elastin synthesis
• Peptides for hair growth

How does Mesotherapy work?

When the nutrients/drugs/bioactive substances are directly injected into the dermis , they are directly absorbed into the blood vessels enabling direct nutritional and therapeutic benefits. Hence this procedure promotes faster skin rejuvenation and regeneration.
For hair- it helps by revitalizing the hair by providing nourishment to the hair follicles. It also stimulates blood circulation to the scalp which helps in reactivating the hair follicles.

How is mesotherapy performed?

It can be performed by invasive and non-invasive technique

• Invasive technique – by using derma roller, dermapen or mesogun
• Non-invasive technique – by electroporation device

After cleansing the skin , a numbing cream is applied for 30-40 minutes to the site where mesotherapy needs to be performed, after cleansing the skin again, a cocktail of bioactive substances based on the indication of the procedure is applied over the skin and a pen like instrument with multiple needles on it is run over the skin, the depth of which can be adjusted by the doctor based on the depth of the tissue to be treated. Mesotherapy can also be performed by the mesogun where in there is a gun like instrument holding a syringe with the mesosolution , once the trigger of the gun is pressed the needle makes to and fro movements delivering the mesosolution into the skin. Electroporation: involves the use of electroporation device which when placed over your skin increases the permeability of the cells of the skin by utilizing light electrical energy and hence the mesolutions are delivered by a non-invasive manner.

What are the pre-treatment and post treatment care for mesotherapy?

Pre-treatment care

• Patient is instructed to stop using salicylic acid based facewash, anti acne creams, whitening creams and anti-aging creams few days before the mesotherapy.

Post treatment care

• Patient is instructed to avoid washing the face for the first 12 hours after treatment, apply the sunscreen religiously, avoid going out in direct sun light and moisturize every few hours
• Use of gentle wash is emphasized for few days after mesotherapy
• Avoid anti acne, anti wrinkles, anti blemish, whitening creams, scrubs for few days after procedure
• Avoid gym ,exercise, swimming, sauna for the first 24 hours
• Avoid scheduling other energy based devise procedures for the next 3-4 weeks after mesotherapy

How many sessions and how often can you get mesotherapy done?

Depending upon the indication ,mesotherapy can be performed once a month for anywhere between 3- 6 sessions.

What is Micro needling?

Micro-needling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a process involving repetitive puncturing of the skin with sterilized micro-needles attached to an automatic mechanical pen like device to create tiny wounds, which help in triggering collagen stimulation. It can be conveniently used to treat specific skin areas of the body. The depth of the needles is adjusted by your doctor according to the skin concerns and areas of treatment. The most common cause of fine lines,wrinkles, atrophic acne scars is loss of collagen. Since micro-needling helps build collagen by stimulating its production it is very beneficial in skin resurfacing.

How Does it work?

Before the procedure a topical numbing cream is applied on the treatment area for about 40 minutes to an hour. Since the skin is numbed prior to the treatment there is no or minimal discomfort during the procedure. The depth of the micro-needles is then adjusted by your doctor according to the area of treatment for best outcome. Through physical trauma from needle penetration, micro needling induces a wound healing cascade with minimal damage to the epidermis( the outermost layer of skin ) The skin cells rush to heal this micro trauma, and an ideal environment for collagen and elastin production is created. This allows for enhancement in the absorption of mainstay topical therapies ( home care creams/ serums /solutions ) across the thick stratum corneum ( thick outer layer of our skin ) This sequentially leads to the generation of growth factors which stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, thus helping in skin rejuvenation. During the procedure a serum/ solution (mesotherapy solution) depending on the skin concern is also applied on the skin, to enhance its absorption through the micro channels created on your skin's surface. Micro-needling can also be combined with Platelet rich plasma therapy ( PRP ) The device is moved over your skin's surface in various directions and multiple pin point channels are created.

What can it be used for? / Which indications does it cover?

Micro needling is a very simple, safe , effective and minimally invasive therapeutic technique. It can be used for a very wide range of indications such as management of acne scars,post traumatic/burn scar,alopecia, skin rejuvenation, stretch marks, pigmentation reduction, melasma, and even for that extra glow and improvement of skin texture. Under eye pigmentation and dehydration can also be managed with micro-needling after combining it with various mesotherapy solutions. The entire treatment takes about an hour, and it is done in sessions. Each session is done at a gap of 30-35 days. It is important to take sessions at a regular interval for best out come and results. Even days after the procedure your skin will continue to actively stimulate collagen production,

Is there any downtime?

It is a quick office / OPD based procedure . Micro-needling typically causes mild skin redness and some dryness that can last for a few days. Redness and dryness depends on the depth of the needles used during the procedure. Thus it has no to very minimal downtime depending on the depth of the needles used and your skin type. One should follow all the post procedure instructions given. Sunblock with an SPF of 30+ should be used. Mild cleansing agents should be used and skin hydration is a must. One should avoid letting the skin become dry and thus moisturizers should be used liberally. Avoid swimming /steam/sauna for a week. One should not use retinol based creams/ vitamin C serums for at least 7 -10 days post procedure.

The laser concept was introduced by Einstein in the year 1917. The properties that make laser light special is that it has a single colour and travels parallelly in a straight line. It is this property that helps target specific cells without affecting the surrounding tissue for desired results. If you compare a flashlight with a laser, a flashlight goes all over the place while a laser light is pointed and target specific.

There is a general concern about the safety of Lasers. In simple terms, Lasers are absolutely safe. They fall between the light spectrum of visible light and our commonly used Tv, Radio and cellphone rays. Lasers are non-ionising radiations, meaning non cancerous, and not related to the X-rays which has been a regular concern.

Laser treatment benefits the skin, with many of its uses. It can be used to stimulate collagen production, exfoliate the skin. It can be used to treat a variety of skin problems like;

• Acne and Acne scars
• Pigmentation
• Anti aging (Wrinkles and fine lines correction, skin tightening)
• Moles and Birth mark removal etc.

Each Laser session is spaced approximately between 4 to 6 weeks, as downtime for the skin cells to rejuvenate.

Laser results for most cases are generally permanent. In case of wrinkles and skin tightening as aging is a progressive course of nature, a maintenance session as per the patient age and skin type is required.

In Laser hair removal, the laser specifically targets melanin in hair follicles and is destroyed by heat without affecting the surrounding tissue. This is the advantage of LHR over other services. Since melanin pigments are present in hair follicles, it is important to not wax or thread the area prior to the LHR procedure, as it effects the results.

Lasers are classified by the source of light production like CO2, diode, NdYag etc and these sources determine the depth of penetration of laser light in the skin. It is important to choose the right Laser source according to skin type for optimal results and minimal side effects.

LHR is Permanent hair reduction, each session progressively reduces the thickness of the hair, gradually rendering it fine and barely visible.

The number of sessions required for hair removal is based on the thickness, colour and area concerned, and varies with each individual. The sessions are generally spaced between 4 to 6 weeks intervals.

The results can be observed with the very first session, in relation to the reduction in density and reduced rate of hair growth.

HOW DOES UNDEREYE REJUVANATION WORK?

Peri-orbital hyperpigmentation, commonly called dark circles, results in tired looking eyes, and can affect an individual’s self-confidence and people seek treatment mainly for cosmetic reasons.

Risk Factors:

• Genetics
• Aging
• Sun exposure
• Dehydration
• Lack of sleep
• Smoking and excessive alcoholism
• Eye strain due to poor vision or prolonged screen use
• Diseases like eczemas, thyroid disease, malnutrition
• Allergic reaction to cosmetics and drugs
• Structural defects: Loss of fat pad, sagging of eyelids, palpebral bags and cheek bone prominence

The management of dark circles depends on its cause and dermatologists prefer to use patient tailored treatment regimens.

The various options available for undereye rejuvenation:

• Skin lightening creams and serums
• Peels
• PRP or Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy
• Mesotherapy
• Microneedling
• Lasers
• Fillers
• Autologous fat transplant
• Surgery

These treatments aims to promote collagen production, decrease the melanin in the skin, correct fine lines and wrinkles, fill the hollows, and correct the laxity of eyelid skin, thus improving the appearance of dark eye circles.

• Chemical peels help to lighten hyperpigmentation under the eyes by causing peeling of superficial layers of skin.
• PRP uses growth factors derived from platelet rich plasma separated from patient’s own blood injected into the skin around the eye to promote rejuvenation of the skin reducing early wrinkles.
• Mesotherapy involves tiny injections of FDA approved ingredients like cocktail of vitamins administered using a meso-device that makes skin more radiant, firm and hydrated.
• Microneedling uses Dermapen or Dermarollers that cause minute punctures on the skin, activating the production of collagen and elastin.
• Fillers reduce the appearance of hollows beneath the eye, refill the lost volume and create smoother, younger-looking skin.
• Autologous fat also fills up the volume lost due to ageing.
• Lasers reduce dark circles, attenuates eye bags, corrects sagging eyelids and rejuvenates the skin. The laser is particularly effective for treating aged and damaged skin around the eyes.
• Surgery can get rid of dark circles that are due to deposition of fat or extra skin around the eye formed mainly due to laxity of eyelids.

WHAT IS THE BEST UNDER EYE TREATMENT?

A combination of various modalities are required in undereye rejuvenation and correction of dark circles.

• Medical treatment: Sunscreens, Skin lightening creams and Under-the-eye serums that contain retinols and antioxidants like caffeine, Vitamin E and C.
• Chemical peels using alpha hydroxy acids or combination peels can help to lighten hyperpigmentation under the eyes. Ø Non-invasive laser therapy can be an effective treatment for dark circles with less down time after procedure.
• If thinning of the skin or loss of fatty tissue is causing dark circles under the eyes, fillers or autologous fat transplantation are the potential options.
• PRP is a much safer alternative to dermal fillers and the results achieved are better in all age groups.
• Surgery like blepharoplasty can get rid of dark circles that are due to deposits of fat or extra skin around the eye area.

IS UNDER EYE TREATMENT SAFE?

These procedures are safe, effective and relatively painless. A topical anaesthetic cream is applied for 30-45 minutes to make the skin numb. Minor side effects noted immediately after these treatments include mild skin irritation or itching, redness, bruising, swelling, mild pain, superficial skin peeling and temporary bluish discolorations, which usually resolve within 48-72 hours.

Prolonged erythema, pigmentation, infections and scarring are seen rarely, especially in those with very thin skin or underlying medical conditions. Long-term complications are rare.

HOW LONG DOES THE RESULT LAST?

• The results of superficial chemical peels usually last 1-2 months, whereas the medium depth peels, usually last 2-6 months.
• PRP requires a course of 4-6 treatments, repeated every 2-4 weeks intervals. You can expect the results to last 12-18 months after the completion of the recommended course.
• Results of Mesotherapy, microneedling and laser treatment generally appear over a few weeks, usually after 3 to 4 sessions with results lasting between 6 months to 1 year.
• Fillers and autologous fat transfer usually give immediate improvement. On an average, patients can expect their results to last anywhere from one to three years.
• Full results can be seen up to six months post-treatment.
• Maintenance treatments are recommended every six months for best and continued results.

Acne scars are the most common complication of acne i.e pimples on the face and the body. These could range from simple flat red blemishes to deep atrophic scars and rarely raised hypertrophic scars.

Symptoms?

Patients usually come with complaints of ueven skin texture with pits/prominent pores on the face that formed after their acne disappeared.
Acne scars can be graded as mild ,moderate and severe based on their appearance and their noticeability.

They are of the following types:

1. Macular scars: flat erythematous or brownish spots
2. Icepick scars: pinpoint but deep scars that appear as large open pores
3. Boxscars: scars with staright sharp edges
4. Rolling scars: scars with sloping edges
5. Hypertrophic scars: raised bumpy scars

Causes?

Acne scars are the result of inflammation induced by acne that causes abnormal collagen production

Risk factors/complication?

Inflammation caused by acne is the main risk factor for acne scarring hence acne has to be treated at the earliest to remove the trigger for scarring especially in patients with genetic pronicity for scarring.
Anything that further triggers inflammation like experimenting with OTC products or home remedies to treat acne, or even picking of acne aggravate scarring.
Once formed, scars never disaapear on their own as it is a structural deformity and hence gives uneven texture to the skin.

Prevention

Tethered scars i.e. Scars which are tightly bound to underlying structures with fibrous septae are treated with SUBCISION, a procedure where in these septae are released using special needles.

Icepick scars are treated using special chemical peel procedure calls TCA CROSS

Rolling and box scars are treated with MNRF i.e. Microneedling Radiofrequecy or Laser resurfacing both of which help in collagen remodelling.

Hypertrophic scras need intralesional steroids injected in to them.

Macular scars are treated with Q switch Nd YAG laser toning.

Thus acne scarring treatment is a combination of treatments according to the presentaion in respective patients and it is planned after the clearance of acne. Minimum 4 to 6 sessions are needed depending upon their severity and are performed at an interval of 4 to 6 weeks.

Treatment at the earliest helps in safe and effective rejuvenation of acne scarring as well as gives overall skin tightening epsecially with MNRF treatment.

What is the Platelet – Rich Plasma (PRP) Technology?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection is one of the most popular treatments to promote the cell regeneration process by utilizing vital and necessary growth factors. PRP is created by separating platelets from a sample of a patient’s own blood through a technique of spinning the blood in a centrifuge. This process separates clean plasma rich in platelets from the red blood cells, the so-called PRP. This PRP is then injected back into the patient in places that are need regeneration and treatment. Besides platelets PRP also contains several growth factors, proteins, and cytokines, which in turn supply the scalp with everything needed for hair growth, skin regeneration, bone healing and so on.

PRP technology is based on stimulating stem cell division. Stem cells are the primitive cells that can divide and reproduce themselves to create various kinds of specialized cells like skin cells, cartilage cells and others. These stem cells are responsible for the regeneration of damaged cells which lead to the automatic production of new cells in the body and the regeneration of various tissues, enhancement of the growth of the new blood vessels and stimulation of the wound healing process. As we age the skin loses a lot of the collagen responsible for keeping skin-tight and looking fresh. PRP can help with reshaping these cells, restoring the skin’s lost freshness and vitality.

What is the method of PRP treatment?

PRP can either be injected inside the skin by Micro injections or Derma pen method, or by direct injection to restore freshness to the skin. It is also injected in the scalp to restore the growth of hair. It can also be added to fat drawn from the same patient. These fats with PRP are then injected into the desired places as the self-plasma gives more consistence to the fats and prolongs the survival of the injected fat cells to a great extent.

Is it safe?

PRP technology is safe and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Side effects are extremely rare because it depends on injecting biological material from a patient’s own body back into their body. Accordingly, it is highly unlikely that the body will reject the injected material. The transmission of any bacterial infection when using this product is extremely low due to the high standards of sterility implemented during the manufacturing process and during treatment.

What are the common uses of PRP Technology?

• To nourish and regenerate the skin and its structure components, giving the skin a soft and vitaltouch.
• To reduce and improve the appearance of facial wrinkles, hand skin texture, and correction of thefine expressive lines.
• To prevent hair loss (Ask about PRP HC).
• To improve and reduce dark circles around the eyes.
• To reduce the appearance of wounds and scars resulting from acne.

How is it prepared?

A small quantity of blood is drawn from the patient (approximately 11 ml). The blood is drawn in sterile American produced, and FDA approved syringes and vials made specifically for this purpose. This blood is then put in a special device called a centrifuge which spins the blood to separate the red blood cells from the plasma. From this plasma we can get platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This procedure takes 5-10 minutes. Once completed the doctor injects the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into areas where treatment is desired, restoring vitality of the tissue and the regeneration of cells and collagen.

How many PRP treatment sessions are needed?

The number of PRP treatment sessions needed varies from case to case, and the time interval required between each treatment sessions varies. Your doctor will advise the best number based on stage of hair loss, age, and other factors. But typically, patients undergo 3 to 4 PRP treatment sessions for skin (3 to 6 for hair), spaced at intervals ranging from weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.

When do PRP treatment results start to appear?

Results from PRP injections begin to appear after a period of 3 to 8 weeks from when treatment started. This is the time required to stimulate the growth of natural collagen and regenerate skin cells to promote improved health and nutrition. Achieving full and results may require a period of one full year. The results also differ from one person to another.

Are there any contraindications for the use of PRP?

There are some precautions and medical contraindications for the use of PRP, many centred around infection with some diseases. The diseases and infections which prohibit the use of PRP injections are:

• Infection with chronic cardiac diseases.
• Diabetes where the ratio is unstable.
• Liver disease viruses.
• Liquidity diseases and lack of platelets.
• AIDS and HIV.

Therefore, it is advisable to take medicines which affect blood platelets like aspirin and non-steroidal inflammatory drugs (arthritis drugs)

What are the causes of hair loss?

There are many causes of hair loss which vary from person to person. But whatever the cause of hair loss, treatment using Platelet Rich Plasma injections is effective and gives favourable results. PRP treatments are especially effective in the early stages of hair loss. The most common causes of hair loss and baldness are:

• Genetic causes - Baldness is often genetic in men.
• Anaemia and lack of vitamins in the body.
• Malnutrition and rapid weight loss – Many harsh, “fad” diets lead to hair loss.
• Stress and nervous tension.
• Overuse of hair dryers.
• The frequent use of shampoos and pigments that contain ammonia.
• Skin diseases such as alopecia.

What are the features and benefits of PRP HC injection for hair treatment?

• Slow hair loss and cause new hair to grow.
• PRP injection sessions for hair are simple to do and do not require much time.
• Safety is high and contamination low since the blood and PRP comes from the patient's own body.
• Treatment sessions do not result in any marks, cuts or scars. Needles used for hair and scalp injections are smaller than those commonly used for other procedures.
• A patient can go back to his or her normal life routine immediately after a platelet-rich plasma injection session.
• Plasma injections increase the hair density at ratios exceeding the original ratios before the appearance of the hair loss problem.
• Strengthening the hair and increasing its thickness in cases of hair weakness.
• Treatment can have a positive impact on other scalp and skin diseases.

When to start treatment?

It is preferable to start doing PRP treatments before reaching severe baldness. Thus, it is advisable to start treatments immediately after the first signs and symptoms of hair loss.

How many PRP treatment sessions are needed?

The number of PRP injection sessions varies from case to case, and the time interval required between each treatment sessions varies. Your doctor will advise the best number based on stage of hair loss, age, and other factors. But typically, patients undergo three to six PRP treatment sessions, spaced at intervals ranging from weekly, bi-weekly or monthly.

When can you expect to see PRP injection results for hair?

Results from PRP injection for hair usually show within three to six months, which is the time needed to regenerate the hair follicle cells and provide the health and nutrition these follicles need to grow into hair again. Generally, the results of the first PRP treatment begin to appear after about a month when patients notice that hair loss has stopped and there is the slight appearance of soft hair at the injection sites. The soft hair then starts to grow thicker like the patient’s natural density before hair loss began. Patients also notice that the new hair grows in healthy and beautiful after the PRP treatment. The person's expectations of the results and the required period is one of the most important factors affecting the achievement of the required goal.

How to prepare PRP HC?

1. A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient using special, sterilized American tubesspecifically for this purpose.
2. The patient’s blood is then placed in a centrifuge which spins to separate the red blood cellsfrom the plasma. This spinning creates two layers of plasma:
• The upper layer consists of a poor plasma with growth factors (PPP)
• The deep layer contains plasma rich in platelets (PRP)
3. The doctor extracts the low-concentration plasma (PPP) using a syringe and needle, and then extracts the high concentration plasma (PRP) and its growth factors.
4. The doctor then injects the PRP and growth factors into the area that needs to be treated.
