Aesthetic Homeopathic Mesotherapy

Foreword

Homeopathic remedies have been successfully used for many years in conventional aesthetic medicine for
treatment of cellulite, localised fat reduction, skin hyperpigmentation and alopecia.

However, due to the latest developments in biotechnology, new generation of homeopathic mesotherapy
products that is designed for facial skin revitalisation and rejuvenation, now appeared on the market.
Homeomesotherapy is one of the advanced therapeutic techniques in Medical Homeopathy (also known as
Homotoxicology or Bioregulatory Medicine). Homeomesotherapy uses the series of shallow microinjections of
homeopathic medicines into acupuncture points and affected skin areas on the face, neck, hands and
decollete to stimulate self-rejuvenation processes in the skin. This technique is also used for the treatment of
cellulite, acne, skin hyperpigmentation (melasma), alopecia, chronic venous insufficiency (swollen ankles) as
well as for localised fat reduction, stretch marks and skin slackening on the tummy, waist line, arms, double
chin, 'eye bags', knees etc.

Homeomesotherapy used for beauty treatment is also known as Skin Prick Nutrition since it delivers all
required nutrients to the site of action in the skin. Homeomesotherapy boosts the health of the skin as well as
the appearance and can be used both as skin rejuvenation treatment and as preventive treatment for
maintaining a youthful look. Aesthetic homeomesotherapy for skin rejuvenation is regarded as less invasive
compared to laser treatment, dermabrasion or cosmetic surgery, but at the same time more effective and
longer lasting than cosmetic or daily skin care procedures.

Homeopathic medicines used for treatments act at skin cellular and extracellular matrix levels and contain
naturally found in the body vitamins, minerals, aminoacids, coenzymes, proteins such as collagen,
glycosaminoglycans such as hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and plant DNA which are crucial for cell protection
and repair. Concentration of these molecules in homeopathic medicines corresponds to their physiological
concentration in the body, which aims to stimulate self-rejuvenation process without involvement of toxins and
potential oxidants. As a result of its specific homeopathic preparation, these medicines have no side effects
or contraindications. No biocompatibility tests are therefore needed.

Let Aesthetic Regulatory Homeopathic Mesotherapy to restore what time had
taken away...

Mesotherapy (Greek mesos meaning middle) subcutaneous and intradermal administration of
medicines using micro injection technique.




Homeopathic Mesotherapy boosts the health of the skin as well as the appearance. It can be used to
treat every kind of skin conditions from acne to cellulite and can be administered as adjuvant therapy
in skin cancer (at the distant site).

This type of skin therapy is a part of Aesthetic Integrated Medicine which combines therapeutic approach and
principles of modern homeopathy and nutrition with elements and methods of conventional aesthetic
medicine. It can work hand in hand with other therapies including acupuncture, and many of these remedies
are similarly supported either by observation studies or clinical trials.
Beauty has always been associated with good health and inner peace or inner beauty that includes
psychological factors such as personality, intelligence, grace, charm and elegance. External beauty is
reflected in having young, smooth and glowing skin and perfect body contour. Obviously, inner beauty
develops when we are older; external or outer beauty is mostly associated with youth. Aesthetic homeopathic
mesotherapy can help those who feel great inside to improve their outer beauty to create a perfect harmony.
SKIN AGEING
Skin ageing is a complex and dynamic process which can be divided into two types: extrinsic ageing and
intrinsic ageing. Intrinsic ageing (or chrono-ageing) is natural ageing resulting from hormonal changes, tissue
loss, fat cells re-distribution and genetic polymorphism. Extrinsic ageing relates to external factors such as
sun damage, smoking, poor lifestyle habits and free radical damage. It is external ageing that makes one look
older than their age due mainly to sun damage and poor lifestyle.

WHY MESOTHERAPY?
We all understand that to slow down the skin ageing process the good practice would be to look after your
skin in the same way as you would do to your baby: feed, clean and protect from extreme environmental
factors.
Well, mesotherapy is all about feeding your skin with all the nutrients it needs to look healthy and vibrant.
However, unless these nutrients can be delivered to its site of action, into the inner layers of the skin, the
efficiency of the feeding process is compromised. In similar way your baby will stay hungry if the food you
give him goes elsewhere, but not in his mouth.

The phenomenal advances in the fields of biotechnology and molecular biology led to the development of
sophisticated skin care products containing not only beneficial to skin vitamins, minerals and aminoacids but
also peptides, proteins and polysaccharides. Proteins and polysaccharides are the building blocks of our skin,
and the skin starts ageing when the shortage of the building materials takes place at the building site.
Evolution has provided the mammalian organism with an external covering, the principal function of which is
to act as a barrier, specifically to the loss of tissue water. Just think: the concentration of water inside the
human body is in the order of 50M, while that in the atmosphere is clearly very much less. Thus, there is a
strong driving force for water to be lost from the body, and to prevent desiccation, an efficient barrier at the
interface is therefore required. The skins outermost layer, the stratum corneum, provides this shield. In doing
so, the skin presents a formidable resistance to the absorption of molecules which contact the external
surface.
As you may see from the picture of the Skin Structure above, the epidermis is stratified, keratinising
epithelium. The keratinocytes comprise the major cellular component (>90%) and are responsible for the
evolution of barrier function. The stratum corneum is usefully thought of as a brick wall with the corneocytes
comprising the bricks, embedded in the mortar created by intercellular lipids.
Thus, due to very tight mortar junctions, the absorption of molecules from topically applied cosmetic creams,
serums and lotions will be limited to very small size molecules such as vitamins, minerals, aminoacids and at
most small peptides. Large molecules such as proteins (e.g. collagen) and polysaccharides (e.g. hyaluronic
acid) are not able to penetrate through stratum corneum barrier. The only possible way of absorption for these
molecules by passive diffusion into the skin is via hair follicles and sweat ducts that in total constitute only half
percent of the skin surface area. This cannot be considered efficient in terms of therapeutic macromolecules
bioavailability. Therefore assisted penetration using intradermal and subcutaneous injections of
therapeutic peptides, proteins and polysaccharides or transdermal mesotherapy method are the most
effective ways of delivering crucial to ageing skin building materials to the site of action.
Results of the observation studies into the efficacy of homeopathic remedies in the treatment of wrinkles and
slackening of the face and neck tissues, are as follows:
1. Skin nourishment with enhanced bioavailability of nutrients due to intradermal delivery using
mesotherapy injection technique or transdermal delivery using special devices (No-needle
Trasdermal Mesotherapy).
2. Antioxidative action on the skin
3. Stimulation of skin collagen and hyaluronan synthesis
4. Stimulation of skin microcirculation
5. Drainage and restoration of skin metabolic rate
6. Skin revitalisation and tonification

Homeopathic remedies for mesotherapy are mainly complex cocktails of homeopathic and natural to the body
components such as vitamins, aminoacids, Krebs cycle catalysts, coenzymes, proteins such as collagen and
elastin and glucosaminoglycans such as hyaluronic acid all prepared homeopathically in the lowest
homeopathic dilutions. When administered over a full course of in average eight treatments they provide
visible and long lasting results.
Homeopathic medicines have no side effects or contraindications and can be used even during pregnancy.
No patch tests are therefore required.
The remedies such as Bioteg, Oticatal, homeopathic Elastin 4-9-30-200CH, Hyaluronic Acid 4DH, DMAE
4DH, Collagen 4DH can be used both as a treatment for reducing the signs of aging and as preventive
treatment for maintaining youthful face. Lecitin, Dehydrocholic Acid, Triac, Cellitin, Fucus, Procainum
Composto and many others are used for the treatment of cellulite and for body contouring. The remedies
manufactured by OTI Srl. are suitable for transdermal mesotherapy.

1978 situated in one of the most beautiful rural mountainous areas of Italy called Abruzzo (50 miles to the
East of Rome).

Homeopathic remedies for facial mesotherapy not only add volume and smooth out imperfections (this is a
shorter term effect compared to the fillers and Botox), but mainly produce accumulative and longer lasting
regenerating effect on the dermis.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED?
The course of treatment usually consists of six to ten sessions on a weekly basis: two sessions in the first
week, then one session per week for the consecutive weeks. Maintenance treatments are recommended on
monthly basis for three months after completion of the course. Achievement of stable skin rejuvenation results
usually requires four treatment courses over two consecutive years.
WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW BEFORE THE TREATMENT?
The homeopathic mesotherapy approach is not the same for everyone and the treatment course will
be carefully tailored to you.
Before you are treated, you skin must be clean, and any makeup or cosmetics removed using preferably
astringent or facial cleansing lotion. Use cold water to ensure that your pores are not dilated. It is strongly
recommended that no anti-inflammatory and/or anticoagulation drugs such as Aspirin or Warfarin are taken at
least 3 to 4 days prior to your treatment as they may increase bruising and swelling at the injection site.
The effects of homeopathic injectable medicines may include temporary mild inflammatory reaction such as
redness in the injected area and temporary swelling and/or nodules or mild bruising at the injection site.
You will be asked to complete Medical History and Patient Consent forms before the first treatment and also
will be given a Book of Patient Treatment Records.
Your practitioner will insert a fine short needle in the desired location. Swelling and redness will usually
subside within hours and you can get back to your daily routine with little down time. Topical anaesthetic
cream can be used to minimise discomfort of the procedure.


Injection sites on the face.
After the treatment try to keep your face relaxed and refrain from exposure to extreme heat (sauna, bath,
sunbathing) for one week after the treatment. This can cause the components of homeopathic injectable
medicines to break down more rapidly. It is not advisable to touch or massage the injected area. You can
begin to re-apply your makeup the day after your treatment.
