What are Mesotherapy Applications for Hands?
Young Hands, Holistic Beauty
Although facial rejuvenation procedures are frequently preferred in the world of aesthetics, the neck, décolleté and especially the hands are often neglected. However, the hands are among the areas that give away our age the most. Due to sun exposure, chemicals and environmental factors, wrinkles, blemishes and loss of elasticity in the skin can occur over time. For this reason, hand rejuvenation applications have become an indispensable part of holistic body rejuvenation approaches in recent years. Ankara Life Dermatology Clinic, one of the prominent centers in this field in Ankara, offers natural and effective rejuvenation with mesotherapy applications for hands under the leadership of Dr. Fatma Yıldız.
What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical method applied locally and used in the treatment of many medical and cosmetic conditions. Mesotherapy for hands is performed by administering bioactive ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, coenzymes and hyaluronic acid with microinjections under the skin. Thanks to these ingredients, the skin's moisture balance is ensured, collagen production is increased and the skin gains a brighter, tighter and younger appearance.
The Aging Process in the Hand Skin
Aging in the hand skin occurs due to both genetic and environmental factors. External factors such as prolonged exposure to the sun, smoking, contact with chemical substances and air pollution cause extrinsic aging in the skin. During this process, fibroblast activity decreases, collagen and hyaluronic acid production decreases, and atrophy develops in the dermis layer. As a result, dryness, wrinkles, fine lines and volume loss are observed in the hand skin. Mesotherapy aims to reverse these signs of aging.
Ingredients Used in Hand Mesotherapy
Hand mesotherapy applied by Dr. Fatma Yıldız at the Ankara Life clinic is planned with personalized cocktails. These cocktails may contain the following active ingredients:
Hyaluronic Acid: Increases the skin's moisture and provides fullness thanks to its water-retaining feature.
Vitamins (A, B, C, E, K): Shows antioxidant effect, increases collagen synthesis, and evens out skin tone.
Aminocytes: Rebuilds the protein structure of the skin, supports elasticity.
Minerals and Coenzymes: Revitalizes cellular metabolism.
Polynucleotides: Increases the elasticity and turgor of the skin, improves its moisture retention capacity.
Mesotherapy Application Techniques
Mesotherapy injections can be applied with different techniques:
Nappage Technique: Very small volumes are injected into the superficial dermis.
Intraepidermal Technique: Superficial injections into the epidermis layer create "bleb" formation.
Papular Technique: Applied to create small papules at a depth of 2-4 mm.
Mixed Technique: Both superficial and deep injections are used together.
Microneedle Mesotherapy: Microchannels are opened in the skin with microneedles, increasing the absorption of the contents.
Session Duration and Frequency
Before the application, the patient's consent is obtained and photographs are taken before the procedure. The skin surface is numbed with local anesthetic creams to increase comfort. The procedure takes approximately 20-30 minutes. Session intervals are usually 2-4 weeks, and a total of 4 to 10 sessions are recommended.
Who is Not Applied to?
Mesotherapy is not recommended for the hand in the following cases:
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Presence of infection or inflammation
Allergy (especially to ingredients)
Use of anticoagulant therapy
History of cancer or autoimmune disease
History of hypertrophic scarring
Uncontrolled diabetes or serious systemic diseases
Possible Complications
The most common side effects after mesotherapy are mild redness, edema and bruising at the injection site. Rarely, infection, pain or nodule development may occur. These side effects are usually short-term and can be managed under specialist supervision.
