Beauty treatments are the order of the day and within them is mesotherapy, a way to eliminate facial wrinkles, although it also has other uses. Let’s see what it is, what are the pistols of such treatment and what benefits it brings.
Mesotherapy is becoming one of the techniques that aesthetic medicine uses the most in beauty treatments.
It is a technique that has recently grown quite a bit in demand, especially since mesotherapy guns can be found online at quite affordable prices in many cases.
In any case, we must admit and warn you that, despite the fact that these pistols are for sale, there is no doubt that a professional must be the one who applies the treatment to us.
This is one technique created in 1951 by the French doctor Michel Pistor, which began applying small intradermal doses to patients with diabetes. As he saw that it was extremely effective, he began to use it in aesthetic medicine, but he not only focused on the face, but the rest of the body was also his objective.
Mesotherapy is an aesthetic technique that consists of application of microinjections with enriched substances that fight wrinkles, sagging, cellulite or localized fat, improving the appearance of the skin, making it look younger practically from the first moment.
This type of treatment belongs to what is known as alternative medicine, applying medications such as homeopathic, vitamins, minerals or amino acids, among others.

This device is used to insert just 2 millimeters of microneedles into the skin and inject the exact amount of the relevant medication. It is an outpatient process of between 15 and 25 minutes.

There are three types of mesotherapy guns:
- electromechanical gun: this type is characterized by acting with force on the plunger of the syringe to carry out the injection by micro drops. The best part is that you can always make the incisions the same way, however you like.
- electronic gun: In this type, the injection is manual by means of an electronic button, which is pressed without any effort. It has the ability to have an automatic mode, which does not even need to be pressed, since it injects when the needle is inserted. They have another interesting feature as they can be used in areas of the body with an irregular surface.

Many of them even allow us program certain functions such as the memorization of the last setting, the volume of the syringe (if any), the depth of penetration or the speed of injection, to give you some examples.
