Lip augmentation and correction using electroporation: advantages and features of the technique

An advanced method in trichology for treating and improving hair quality is electroporation or, in other words, non-injection mesotherapy. The technology is a non-invasive effect on the scalp with low voltage currents. The procedure is gaining popularity every day, as it gives excellent results in improving hair health and treating alopecia. You can evaluate the productivity of non-injection mesotherapy after just 2 sessions: tissue regeneration accelerates, blood microcirculation in the scalp is normalized.

Indications for non-injection mesotherapy

Mesotherapy preparations contain useful active ingredients. Getting into the hair follicles, they nourish them, awaken dormant follicles, and increase the growth phase. Indications for non-invasive current exposure are:

• hair loss;
• dullness and lifelessness of strands;
• active tip section;
• increased greasiness of the scalp;
• early gray hair.

This type of mesotherapy is used by people who have difficulty withstanding injections, which are inevitable in the traditional procedure.

Contraindications

Despite the fact that the procedure has practically no contraindications, as with other invasive methods of exposure, in some cases, its implementation can harm the body:

• Pathological processes associated with the cardiovascular system. This feature can lead to changes in small vascular capillaries located under the skin, due to which a physiotherapeutic procedure can be harmful. Contraindication applies only to those people who have chronic or genetically determined heart diseases.
• Diabetes. With such a pathological process, not only electroporation, but also other exposure techniques are prohibited. This feature is explained by the fact that the presence of a substance introduced under the skin can disrupt the natural balance in the body.

• Violations of skin integrity. Particular attention should be paid to the presence of inflammatory or infectious pathological processes that are localized at the site of the intended impact or nearby points. Carrying out the procedure may worsen the situation.
• Malignant tumors. The presence of cancerous formations on the patient’s skin can provoke a worsening of the clinical picture, even leading to a fatal risk. We are talking about severe tumors in the body and various degenerative rashes at the site of the procedure.
• Psycho-emotional disorders. Since electroporation involves an invasive effect, various mental illnesses in the patient may worsen due to the characteristics of nervous and brain activity.
• Fever. In this case, it is better to refuse the procedure until the body temperature returns to normal. This also includes any pathological processes affecting the natural function of the body.

In order not to worry once again about your well-being and possible consequences in the future, you should refuse to carry out the procedure while breastfeeding or during any phase of pregnancy. In some cases, exposure to acid can have a detrimental effect on fetal development.

In addition to the main contraindications, the procedure is prohibited for persons suffering from epileptic seizures. Also, physiotherapeutic effects are contraindicated in patients who have any disorders associated with blood clotting.

Progress of the scalp electroporation procedure

Mesotherapy without injections for the purpose of treating and strengthening hair should only be carried out by a qualified specialist. The procedure algorithm is as follows:

1. The surface of the skin where microcurrent exposure is planned is treated with a nutrient mixture. The composition is selected individually, based on the patient’s complaints, symptoms and desired results.
2. Turn on and set up the device for electroporation.
3. Perform the procedure.

Hardware action allows the components of the nutritional cocktail to reach the hair follicles. The bulbs penetrate:

• microelements, vitamins;
• growth stimulants;
• cell activators;
• substances for normalizing lymph and blood flow;
• moisturizing components, etc.

Electroporation (Hydromesotherapy)

Electroporation is a transdermal (percutaneous) saturation of the skin of the face, body and scalp with topical biologically active substances. The procedure is carried out without injections, punctures and pain. Electroporation of the face and other areas is often called hydromesotherapy or non-injection mesotherapy, which emphasizes the simplicity and accessibility of the method.

The required effect is achieved through the use of low-power, high-frequency electric current. By acting on the surface of the skin, its pulses for a very short time (about 100 seconds) create end-to-end microchannels in it - the so-called electropores, which is where the name of the method comes from. The formation of electropores sharply increases the permeability of skin cell membranes (400 times!), which allows molecules of biologically active substances to freely penetrate deep into the dermis, where they exert their beneficial effects.

How is the procedure performed?

Electroporation is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure. Its implementation does not violate the integrity of the skin and leaves no traces of exposure. This is one of the safest, most comfortable and physiological methods for the human body.

Its effectiveness is based on the natural properties of electric current and the ability of skin cell membranes to painlessly increase their permeability under the influence of its impulses. This process does not require complex manipulations. Electroporation procedures require an extremely simple protocol:

• cleansing the affected area;
• antiseptic treatment;
• massage treatment of the skin with the nozzle of the device simultaneously with the dosed application of a meso-cocktail, cosmetic product or medicinal product;
• post-care using cosmetics that are relevant to the client.

Exposure to electrical impulses does not cause pain or discomfort. During the massage treatment, you may feel a slight tingling or warmth, which helps you relax and enjoy the procedure.

Immediately after its completion, the client goes home, leads a normal lifestyle and enjoys the results of electroporation.

Indications for the procedure and results of the procedure

Electroporation of the face and other areas allows you to saturate the skin with macromolecular substances - the most effective biologically active components, complex in their structure and principle of action. Penetrating into the dermis, they prevent the premature death of its cells, inhibit the natural aging process and stimulate skin renewal.

Simultaneously with macromolecules, hydromesotherapy provides transport of medium-molecular and micromolecular substances.

They demonstrate a pronounced therapeutic effect:

• improve blood supply, trophism and oxygenation (oxygen saturation) of tissues;
• accelerate the processes of local metabolism (metabolism);
• I normalize the functioning of sebaceous and sweat glands, etc.

Hydromesotherapy allows you to eliminate visible skin imperfections and the causes of their appearance. An integrated approach guarantees maximum effectiveness of procedures in solving the most complex aesthetic and age-related skin problems. Facial electroporation is performed to eliminate:

• dryness, peeling, itching;
• wrinkles, sagging;
• uneven relief, complexion, superficial pigment spots;
• restoration of facial skin after “aggressive” cosmetic procedures - chemical peels, dermabrasion, laser resurfacing, etc.;
• fear of needles and pricks.

In turn, electroporation of the scalp stimulates hair growth and improves its general condition, helps get rid of dandruff and stop alopecia (baldness).

Contraindications to electroporation

• Increased sensitivity to electrical shock.
• Cardiovascular pathologies.
• Autoimmune diseases.
• Presence of metal implants, foreign bodies, pacemaker.
• Oncology.
• Exacerbation of chronic, infectious diseases.
• Period of pregnancy, lactation.
• Damage, inflammation, skin lesions at the site of exposure.

Recovery after the procedure

Electroporation of the face and other areas does not require a period of rehabilitation or specific care. Without needles, soft tissue injury and any complications, it allows you to rejuvenate and improve your skin.

Quickly gain beauty and confidence in your attractiveness. But for this you need to undergo a full course of hydromesotherapy and be a little patient.

A specialist from our center will tell you how to properly care for your skin after electroporation during your initial consultation. An experienced doctor has up-to-date information about all the intricacies of the method, will be happy to answer your questions and calculate the preliminary cost of electroporation, taking into account your problems.

Mesotherapy and electroporation - what is the difference?

Unlike classical mesotherapy, which involves injections, electroporation is a non-injection mesotherapy. The technique is ideal for those clients who are afraid of needles, are afraid of microtraumas, and for some reason do not want or cannot give injections. Not inferior in effectiveness to injections, hydromesotherapy does not require preparation and is carried out without anesthesia. Its procedures have no restrictions on age, skin type and time of year. This is a universal method of rejuvenation, healing and correction of skin imperfections. At the same time, the price of facial electroporation is lower compared to beauty injections, which will be appreciated by rational clients of our center.

How the method works

Electroporation of the lips is a physiotherapeutic method of rejuvenation and correction of the lips using special equipment and the introduction of useful substances into them. In fact, the technique has been known since the mid-70s of the last century, but it was used mainly by geneticists to introduce large molecules, which are RNA and DNA, into the skin of animals. In the early 2000s, dermatologists successfully used it in their practice.

Electroporation was discovered by American scientists P. Agru and R. McKinnow, who proved that when cells are exposed to a pulsating but weak electric field, special channels are formed in cell membranes - electroporins, the diameter of which is no more than 0.5 nm. It is through them that even high molecular weight proteins can be delivered to the skin and subcutaneous tissue.

Electroporation is becoming increasingly popular due to the absence of pain and the slightest injury, as with injection mesotherapy or lip contouring. Today it has the second name “hydromesotherapy”, since under the influence of electric pulse waves it has become possible to saturate tissues with both low molecular weight compounds and high molecular weight fractions of hyaluronic acid.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of skin tissues and fluids.

Thanks to its molecules, hyaluronic acid ensures the filling of intercellular spaces and preserves the natural structure of elastin and collagen fibers, as well as sufficient hydration of the skin.

What is electroporation in the words of a cometologist:

Electroporation of the lips is carried out directly using a pulsed current of high frequency and low intensity, which opens the channels of the cell membranes for a short period of time. The effective effect of current ensures the local introduction of hyaluronic acid directly into the cells, which helps not only to increase the volume of the lips, but also to slow down the aging process.

How is lip electroporation performed?

The management process takes 30-45 minutes and consists of the following steps:

1. The face is completely cleaned of makeup and oily shine.
2. Then a superficial lip peel is applied to remove dead skin particles, as they may interfere with achieving the desired result.
3. After peeling, a special meso-cocktail containing hyaluronic acid and vitamins is applied.
4. The cosmetologist introduces the meso-cocktail using a special handpiece of an electroporation device. The patient feels a slight tingling sensation.

What drugs are used?

In addition to the use of hyaluronic acid, other products are used in cosmetology practice, which have their own advantages and disadvantages:

• Adipose tissue. Numerous studies indicate that an increase in the volume of the skin structure can be achieved using adipose tissue that is taken from the patient. The main advantage of this method is that its administration is not characterized by allergic reactions and the rejection process. The fat layer is taken from the area of ​​the body in which its volume is in excess. Although this procedure is quite cheap, the effect does not last long.

• Natural collagen. The main advantage of such a filler is the complete absence of allergies, but there is also a significant drawback - due to its natural base, the substance is not able to dissolve, which is why its administration must occur evenly. The use of human collagen requires a cosmetologist to have extensive experience. Otherwise, the development of adverse reactions and the lack of the desired result may occur.
• Bovine collagen. The main disadvantage of this method of use is the high risk of developing allergic reactions, which occurs due to the introduction of a foreign protein structure into organic tissues. The second disadvantage is the severe pain of the procedure, which requires the use of local anesthesia.
• Polycaprolactone. This filler can be used for contouring. Due to its synthetic base, the substance is characterized by longer preservation in the skin than when using other methods.
• Implants based on a synthetic substance. For this type of procedure, the cosmetologist inserts artificial strips under the upper lip tissue.
• Fillers used in contour plastic surgery. Such preparations are most often characterized by the presence of hyaluronic acid, which is the main substance for the formation of tissue between collagen fibers.
• Organic silicon. It cannot be used as an independent substance, because its use is typical in meso-cocktails. It makes it possible to eliminate any formation of cellulite, increase the process of tissue regeneration, and also remove various wastes, toxins and radical structures from the body.
• DMAE. The drug is injected under the skin to eliminate the main symptomatic manifestations of signs of aging, including sagging, wrinkles and sagging. In addition, it can increase skin elasticity and adjust the overall water balance.

Despite the significant cheapness of the methods described above, their use can lead to negative consequences, the main of which are: increased swelling, the formation of compactions, an embolic effect on blood vessels and allergic reactions.

In addition, any injections are characterized by the occurrence of severe painful sensations both before and after the intervention. Therefore, it is best to use electroporation, which is the most comfortable, painless and less traumatic procedure.
