Mesotherapy is a method of injecting a drug or other active substance. Small doses of the drug are injected intradermally or subcutaneously into the treated area. Needle mesotherapy allows the formation of deposits from which the active substance is gradually released without causing systemic symptoms typical of oral or intravenous administration. Syringes or special injectors are used for injections in mesotherapy. The procedures are carried out in sessions at appropriate intervals. Currently used methods include laser mesotherapy and so-called injection-free mesotherapy.

What is mesotherapy?

The name "mesotherapy" comes from the Greek word meso ("middle") or the Latin word "midnight". The injection technique allows the active ingredient to be delivered to the skin, avoiding the stratum corneum. Therapeutic, regenerating and nutritious substances are transferred directly into the living layers of the epidermis, dermis or subcutaneous tissue.

The essence of such procedures is the cyclic administration of the drug in small doses to selected locations. The active substances are released from the injected drug into the injected tissue. The postulates formulated by Michael Pistor, who is considered its creator, are still relevant in mesotherapy.

It is believed that mesotherapy was born in 1952 thanks to a French doctor who was the first to use the method of multiple surface injections around the auricle as a method of drug administration (procaine). It is true that the term "mesotherapy" was coined by Pistor himself, who thus established the name of the method of treating diseases of tissues originating from the mesoderm, and since the 1970s, the method also used in aesthetic dermatology. However, puncture treatment has a long and interesting history, the origins of which date back to the 5th century BC.

2.5 thousand years ago, on the island of Kos, Hippocrates pricked a patient's hand with a prickly pear. Cactus needles and ficus leaves (with known analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties today) were supposed to alleviate painful shoulder syndrome.

Currently, mesotherapy is most often associated with aesthetic medicine, but the method is more widely used, for example, in the treatment of diseases with pain. The puncture technique is used, for example, in orthopedics, rheumatology and neurology.

Currently, the following types of mesotherapy are used:

needle mesotherapy,
fractional mesotherapy with microneedles (Dermapen),
fractional (laser) mesotherapy,
non-injection mesotherapy.
