Mesobotox: microdoses of botulinum toxin for texture and oiliness

How it works

In mesobotox, botulinum toxin is diluted and applied in very small amounts into the dermis (the layer of skin just below the surface), in a grid of closely spaced points. At this depth, the toxin reduces the activity of the sebaceous glands and of the small muscle fibers attached to the skin, without significantly reaching the muscles of expression.

The result is skin with less oiliness and shine, less visible pores, more even texture and softened fine lines, while keeping the natural movement of the face.

Indications

• Dull skin, texture and poresEnlarged pores, oiliness and uneven surface.
• Wrinkles and expression linesFine lines on the skin, without changing expression.
• Neck and décolletageFine lines and texture of the neck skin.
• Redness and spider veinsFacial redness, as a complement to other treatments.

Treated areas

What a session is like

After the skin is cleaned, a numbing cream is applied. The doctor then performs the micro-injections with a very fine needle, at many points spread across the treated area.

Recovery

Right after the session, small bumps appear at the injection points and disappear within a few hours. Small bruises may occur. You can return to your activities on the same day.

Sessions and results

The effect starts to be noticed within a few days and is complete in about two weeks, lasting on average three to four months. The number of sessions and the interval between them depend on the dermatologist's individual evaluation and on each patient's clinical concern.

Contraindications

Mesobotox (botulinum toxin) is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding, for people with neuromuscular diseases such as myasthenia gravis, for those allergic to the product's components, or over infections, severe inflamed acne or other active inflammation in the area.

At the evaluation, the dermatologist reviews your health history, current medications and previous procedures to confirm the indication.
