What is whitening mesotherapy? Whitening mesotherapy is a specialized treatment that combines the mesotherapy method with powerful whitening ingredients . Through micro-injections, active substances are administered directly into the skin, targeting the reduction of melanin overproduction and the restoration of the skin's natural radiance. This minimally invasive method allows the therapeutic ingredients to reach directly into the deeper layers of the skin, where melanin production occurs, ensuring optimal absorption and effectiveness.
How whitening mesotherapy works Facial whitening treatment works through three basic mechanisms: Tyrosinase inhibition : The active ingredients inhibit the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for melanin production, thereby reducing the formation of new discolorations. Melanin transfer reduction : Limits the transfer of pigment to the upper layers of the skin, reducing the risk of dark spots and discolorations. Acceleration of cell renewal : Helps the skin shed dark cells and create new, healthier, and brighter ones.
Ingredients of whitening mesotherapy
Glutathione
Glutathione is one of the body's most powerful natural antioxidants. It acts as a strong whitening agent, as it inhibits melanin production and protects the skin from oxidative stress.
Vitamin C
Helps reduce spots, stimulates collagen production for firmer skin, and protects against damage caused by free radicals.
Kojic Acid
Kojic acid is a natural ingredient derived from fungi and is one of the most effective whitening agents. It directly inhibits tyrosinase activity, significantly reducing melanin production.
Tranexamic Acid
Tranexamic acid acts through a unique mechanism, inhibiting plasminogen activation. This action interrupts the chain of reactions that leads to melanin overproduction, especially in cases of melasma.
Azelaic Acid
Azelaic acid offers a dual action as it inhibits tyrosinase and has exfoliating properties that help remove dark cells from the skin's surface.
