WHAT IS Mesopen Pro Skin Needling & Fusion Mesotherapy
This is a combination treatment using Skin Needling, electroporation with Fusion Mesotherapy’s advanced serum cocktail blends. This is one of the most advanced skin rejuvenation treatments available that can treat all skin types, concerns and conditions.
Skin needling, also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create small punctures in the skin's surface. These tiny punctures stimulate the skin's natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. The depth of the needle penetration can vary depending on the specific concerns being addressed and the type of device used.
Electroporation refers to an intermittent current used to increase the permeability of the cell wall, allowing us to deliver our custom cocktail into the cell more efficiently for enhanced results.
Fusion Mesotherapy is a sterile formulation designed to enhance microneedling results by infusing vitamins, minerals, growth factors, biomimetic peptides, and amino acids into the skin to target specific conditions.
Skin needling can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Wrinkles and fine lines: Micro needling stimulates collagen and elastin production, which can help improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, particularly on the face and neck.
- Acne scars: By promoting collagen remodeling, skin needling can reduce the appearance of acne scars, including atrophic (indented) scars and hyperpigmented scars.
- Uneven skin texture: Microneedling can help improve the overall texture of the skin by promoting cell turnover and collagen synthesis, resulting in smoother and more even skin.
- Enlarged pores: The stimulation of collagen production can help tighten and shrink enlarged pores, leading to a more refined skin texture.
- Stretch marks: Microneedling can be effective in reducing the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity.
- Hyperpigmentation: Skin needling can help fade areas of hyperpigmentation, such as sunspots, age spots, and melasma, by promoting the turnover of pigmented cells and encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin cells.
- Reduced Redness: Microneedling may help to reduce redness associated with rosacea by promoting the release of growth factors and cytokines, which can have anti-inflammatory effects on the skin.
- General skin rejuvenation: Even for individuals without specific skin concerns, microneedling can help maintain overall skin health and vitality by promoting collagen production and improving skin texture and tone.
The frequency of skin needling treatments can vary depending on individual factors such as skin type, skin concerns, treatment goals, and the intensity of the treatment. Generally, most individuals undergo a series of skin needling sessions spaced 4 weeks apart to achieve optimal results.

Contraindications
Skin needling, like any cosmetic procedure, may not be suitable for everyone. There are several contraindications to consider before undergoing microneedling treatment. These contraindications include:
- Active skin infections: Microneedling should not be performed on skin that has active infections, such as bacterial, viral, or fungal infections. Performing the procedure on infected skin can spread the infection and worsen the condition.
- Active acne breakouts: Individuals with active acne breakouts should avoid microneedling until the acne has cleared. Microneedling can potentially spread bacteria from acne lesions to other areas of the skin, leading to more breakouts or exacerbating existing ones.
- Open wounds or lesions: Microneedling should not be performed on skin with open wounds, cuts, abrasions, or other forms of skin trauma. The procedure could worsen the injury and increase the risk of infection.
- Recent sunburn: Individuals with recent sunburn or significant sun damage should wait until their skin has fully healed before undergoing microneedling. Performing the procedure on sunburned skin can cause further irritation, inflammation, and potential damage.
- Pregnancy: While there isn't conclusive evidence indicating that microneedling is harmful during pregnancy, it's generally recommended to avoid cosmetic procedures during pregnancy unless deemed necessary by a healthcare provider.
- History of keloid scarring or poor wound healing: Individuals with a history of keloid scarring or poor wound healing may be at increased risk of complications from microneedling, such as excessive scarring or delayed healing.
- Active skin conditions: Certain skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea, may be aggravated by microneedling. Individuals with these conditions should consult with a dermatologist before undergoing the procedure.
- Blood-thinning medications or bleeding disorders: Microneedling involves creating controlled micro-injuries to the skin, which can cause bleeding. Individuals taking blood-thinning medications or those with bleeding disorders may be at increased risk of excessive bleeding and bruising.
If you have any concerns, please book a skin consultation prior to your peel treatment.
Pre-Treatment
Before undergoing skin needling (microneedling) treatment, it's essential to follow pre-treatment guidelines to ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of complications. Here are some general pre-treatment guidelines for skin needling:
- Consultation: Schedule a consultation to discuss your skin concerns, treatment goals, and medical history. I will assess your skin condition and determine if you are a suitable candidate for alkaline resurfacing, and provide personalized recommendations for your treatment plan.
- Avoid sun exposure: Minimize sun exposure and use broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher on the treatment area for at least two weeks before the procedure. Sun exposure can increase the risk of post-treatment complications, such as hyperpigmentation or sunburn.
- Discontinue certain skincare products: Discontinue the use of exfoliating agents, retinoids, and other topical treatments that may increase skin sensitivity or thin the skin for at least one week before the procedure. These products can increase the risk of irritation or adverse reactions during microneedling.
- Avoid certain medications: Avoid taking blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), for at least one week before the procedure, unless otherwise instructed by your healthcare provider. These medications can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising during microneedling.
- Full medical Disclosure: Inform me of about any medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are taking, including prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and herbal remedies. They will assess your medical history and determine if microneedling is safe and appropriate for you.
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your microneedling treatment to keep your skin hydrated and optimize healing.
- Follow specific instructions: Follow any additional pre-treatment instructions provided by your skincare professional, such as avoiding certain foods or beverages, abstaining from smoking, or adjusting your skincare routine.
By following these pre treatment guidelines and preparing your skin properly, you can help ensure a safe and effective skin needling treatment. If you have any questions or concerns about your pre-treatment care, don't hesitate to contact me for guidance and clarification.

Pre-Treatment
After undergoing a skin needling (microneedling) treatment, it's crucial to follow post-treatment guidelines to promote proper healing and optimize results. Here are some general post-treatment guidelines after skin needling:
- Avoid touching the treated area: Keep your hands clean and avoid touching or picking at the treated area to minimize the risk of introducing bacteria and causing irritation or infection.
- Keep the skin clean: Follow your skincare professional's instructions for cleansing the treated area. Use a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser and lukewarm water to cleanse the skin twice daily to remove any debris, blood, or lymphatic fluid.
- Apply recommended skincare products: Your skincare professional may recommend specific skincare products to use after microneedling, such as a soothing serum, hydrating moisturizer, or post-treatment cream. Follow their recommendations for product selection and application frequency.
- Protect the skin from the sun: Avoid sun exposure and protect the treated area from direct sunlight for at least a week following the procedure. Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, apply it generously, and reapply every two hours if exposed to the sun.
- Avoid makeup and certain skincare products: Avoid applying makeup, exfoliating agents, retinoids, or other potentially irritating skincare products to the treated area for at least 24-48 hours post-treatment, or as recommended by your skincare professional.
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, which can help promote skin healing and regeneration.
- Avoid intense physical activity: Avoid strenuous exercise, swimming, saunas, and hot tubs for at least 24-48 hours post-treatment to minimize the risk of excessive sweating and potential irritation to the treated area.
- Follow-up appointments: Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments with your skincare professional to monitor your skin's healing progress and assess the need for additional treatments.
- Be patient: It's normal for the skin to appear red, swollen, or slightly bruised after microneedling. These side effects typically subside within a few days to a week. Be patient and allow your skin time to heal and regenerate.
If you experience any unusual or severe symptoms after microneedling, such as excessive swelling, prolonged redness, severe pain, or signs of infection (such as pus or increased warmth), contact me immediately for further evaluation and guidance.
