Dr. Ignacio Ordiz, is recognized as one of the best doctors in the country specialized in Mesotherapy, a branch of Aesthetic Medicine with many applications and benefits for the patient.
We have interviewed him at Canary Doctor, to learn firsthand: what is Mesotherapy, as well as to answer other frequent questions. We start
What is mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a technique of intradermal medication administration, that is, we perform small punctures less than 2 mm deep in an area that we want to treat. This is the secret that this form of administration works, which is nothing like other forms of subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous administration.
How does a patient know what treatment he needs?
Patients do not have to have previously thought about what treatment is best for Mesotherapy. We are the doctors who guide the patient after making a diagnosis of their skin on what is the best treatment that can come. We generally use a combination of treatments with several techniques that focus on the origin of the patient's situation from different angles to obtain a much more complementary treatment.
What results are obtained with Mesotherapy?
With Mesotherapy we obtain illuminating results at the skin level. We are going to provide the skin with a series of nutrients that it needs to maintain correct physiological conditions. Sometimes the fact of sun exposure, smoking, the environment, environmental pollution or lack of hydration due to not drinking enough conditions that the skin is in a situation of poverty that we improve with this type of administration of medications.
In which areas of the body can Mesotherapy be applied?
Mesotherapy can be applied to any area of the skin that can be punctured. I believe that in all areas except in the eyes both at the facial level and in the neck, the neckline, the hands and even there are treatments for the breasts and stretch marks, that is, in any anatomical location it can be punctured following the principles of Mesotherapy, which are intradermal injections.
Is Mesotherapy painful?
Not at the beginning. The fact of using injection assistance equipment such as Mesotherapy guns or a good manual administration technique makes Mesotherapy bearable. In fact, the relationship of suffering-benefit is always in favor of the benefits obtained with the technique.
How long do the effects of Mesotherapy last?
It depends, in principle, Mesotherapy can be performed once a month and if other treatments are combined, quarterly sessions can be done, but generally the patient requests the Mesotherapy session when they notice that their skin has lost that turgidity or that vital tone that it had and We had achieved with the previous session.
How many sessions of Mesotherapy are needed?
Normally to obtain an illuminating effect with two or three sessions is enough. At first it would be done with a fortnightly deficiency and then once a month would be enough.
How should the maintenance of the results be?
The maintenance over time combined with other treatments that also focus the situation from other points of view such as microneedling or surface peeling would be done once every quarter for example.
