Mineral Injection in Bursa
What is a mineral injection?
"Mineral injection" is not a medical term; it is the popular name for an application in which vitamin- and mineral-rich ingredients are delivered into the skin by microinjection. It is not a vaccine and has nothing to do with the immune system. The application is a method from the mesotherapy family: the product is delivered into the superficial layer of the skin with a very fine needle, into many small points.
Depending on the product, the ready-made mixtures used may contain: vitamins such as vitamin C and the B vitamins; minerals such as zinc, magnesium, copper and silicon; amino acids used in collagen production; antioxidants and moisture-retaining low-concentration hyaluronic acid. Only licensed products with known content are used at our practice.
How does it differ from mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is an application technique and can be used with different ingredients on the face, the scalp or the body. A mineral injection describes the use of this technique with vitamin- and mineral-rich mixtures on the skin of the face, neck and décolleté. Which content is suitable is determined at the examination according to the skin's needs; complaints such as hair loss require different ingredients and an investigation of the cause first.
Who is it suitable for, and who should not have it?
It is considered for adults with skin quality complaints such as dryness, dullness, a tired appearance and fine lines. On its own, it is not sufficient for deep lines, marked sagging or volume loss. The application is not performed, or is postponed, in the following situations:
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding,
- Active infection, cold sores or inflamed acne in the treatment area,
- Known allergy to the product's ingredients,
- A bleeding disorder, uncontrolled diabetes, active cancer treatment,
- Uncontrolled autoimmune disease.
In people using blood thinners, the tendency to bruise may increase; tell the physician about your medications.
How is it done?
The skin is evaluated and a suitable mixture is chosen. The skin is cleansed and, if needed, a numbing cream is applied for 20–30 minutes. The product is delivered to the face, neck or décolleté with a very fine needle through superficial, evenly spaced small injections. The procedure usually takes 20–30 minutes. Usually 3–5 sessions are planned at 2–3 week intervals; after that, periodic maintenance sessions may be recommended.
When does the effect begin, and how long does it last?
Once the redness at the needle points has passed, the change in skin hydration may be noticed within a few days; the change in texture, however, is gradual and is usually evaluated after the sessions are completed. The effect is temporary and usually lasts a few months. Evidence on the effectiveness of these applications varies by product and is limited; results differ from person to person.
Possible side effects
Redness, small bumps, mild swelling and bruising at the needle points are common and usually resolve within 1–3 days. Less often, an allergic reaction, infection, small nodules or temporary color change may occur.
Aftercare
- Do not wear makeup and do not massage the area for the first 12–24 hours.
- Avoid saunas, Turkish baths, swimming pools and intense exercise for 24–48 hours.
- Use sunscreen; avoid strong sun for a few days.
- For a few days, pause irritating products such as retinoids and acid peels.
