Abstract:
The skin is the largest organ in the human body and has a variable structure. It is divided into three layers: epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. Amid aesthetics, this structure works as a systemic administration port or as a route to administration of active principles. Invasive procedures, however, non-surgical, have been standing out and gaining space globally, as these are techniques that do not bring a significant risk of life or prolonged rest after treatment. The aim of this work is to raise the hypothesis of the effect of pressurized mesotherapy in relation to injectable mesotherapy. The method does not use needles; just pressurization to spread the product's principles in the skin tissue. Assets applied under pressure associated with the minimization of mechanical resistance by distending the elastic components of the skin with the use of skin folds have a better effect on aesthetic dysfunctions.
