Skin pigmentation issues, such as dark spots, melasma, and hyperpigmentation, are common concerns that affect many people. Whether caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, aging, or acne scars, these skin imperfections can significantly impact one’s appearance and confidence. 

If you're looking for a minimally invasive way to address skin pigmentation, mesotherapy might just be the solution you've been searching for. In this blog, we'll explore how our treatment mesotherapy works to reduce skin pigmentation and the benefits it offers for achieving smoother, more even-toned skin.

What is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is a  non-invasive aesthetic treatment that involves penetrating hyaluronic and stem cells into the skin. Our machine runs off of electroperation which stimulates the skin at a cellular level, addressing a variety of skin concerns, including texture, dark pigmentation circles around the eyes, pigmentation on the face, fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.

How Does Mesotherapy Work to Reduce Skin Pigmentation?

Mesotherapy tackles skin concerns in several effective ways:

1. Targeting Hyperpigmentation: Pigmented areas of the skin, such as dark spots, age spots, and melasma, occur due to the overproduction of melanin in certain areas. Mesotherapy can help break down excess melanin. Pigmentation can also be caused by sun damage, scarring from burns / previous treatments or events which mesotherapy will also target.
2. Promoting Skin Regeneration: The ingredients in mesotherapy stimulate collagen production, leading to healthier and more youthful-looking skin. This regenerative process helps in reducing the appearance of dark marks left behind by acne, sun damage or other external factors.
3. Improving Skin Tone and Texture: In addition to treating pigmentation, mesotherapy helps even out skin tone and texture. The treatment can result in smoother skin with a natural glow as the ingredients work to boost circulation and encourage cell turnover.
4. Preventing Future Pigmentation: Regular mesotherapy treatments can help regulate melanin production, preventing the reoccurrence of pigmentation issues by strengthening the skin and making it more resilient. Mesotherapy also helps to protect skin from environmental damage which is a major cause of pigmentation. Results from mesotherapy are long lasting as long as you are using the correct skincare at home to prevent and protect your skin from any future pigmentation. We always encourage each of our clients to wear SPF 50 every single day.

What to Expect During a Mesotherapy Session

Before the procedure, a consultation with a trained aesthetic professional is essential to assess your skin’s condition and determine if mesotherapy is the right option for you. During the treatment, you may feel mild discomfort as the machine glides across the skin while pushing out the serum in an up and down motion, which can feel slightly scratchy around thinner areas of the face including eye lids and forehead.

The number of sessions required varies depending on the severity of the pigmentation and skin concerns. Typically, a series of 4–6 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.

Post-Treatment Care

After your mesotherapy session, your skin may appear slightly red, but this is temporary and should subside within a few hours. To maximize the benefits of the treatment, it’s important to:

• Use Suncream: Protect your skin from the sun by applying suncream regularly, as sun exposure can worsen pigmentation issues.
• Hydrate and Moisturise: Keep your skin hydrated with a gentle moisturiser to support its recovery and healing process.
• Avoid active ingredients and makeup for 24 hours: Stay away from products that may irritate the skin, such as BHA, AHA, retinol, salicylic acid and exfoliants. We also ask that you avoid makeup for 24 hours after the treatment.

Is Mesotherapy Right for You?

Mesotherapy is suitable for people looking to improve their skin’s appearance, prevent aging and reduce pigmentation. However, it's important to consult with your aesthetic practitioner at SkynMaps to determine if mesotherapy is the best choice for your specific skin concerns.
