Meso needles

Types of meso needles

Meso needles, also known as acupuncture needles, are thin, stainless steel, and disposable. They are used in cosmetic treatments to inject hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and other compounds into the skin. There are different types of meso needles: 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12. The types differ in needle count, diameter, and length.

• 2-needle meso needles

  2-needle meso needles have two needles on a single mount. The needles are pointed and used for fat dissolving treatments.

• 4-needle meso needles

  4-needle meso needles have four needles on a single mount. They have a square shape and are used to treat wrinkles and fine lines on the face.

• 6-needle meso needles

  6-needle meso needles have six needles mounted together. They have a hexagonal shape and are used for wrinkle treatment, facial rejuvenation, and to promote hair growth.

• 8-needle meso needles

  8-needle meso needles have eight needles mounted together. They are shaped like a cylinder and are used for facial and scalp treatments.

• 12-needle meso needles

  12-needle meso needles have twelve needles mounted together. They have a circular shape and are used for body treatments, including skin tightening, cellulite reduction, and skin rejuvenation.

How to choose meso needles

Choosing the right meso needles can be challenging, given the many options available. Here are vital factors to consider:

• Needle Gauge and Length

  The needle's gauge (thickness) and length are crucial when choosing meso needles. Needles with a higher gauge (thinner) are used for more superficial treatments and are less painful. Needles with a lower gauge (thicker) and greater length are used for deeper treatments. Considering the desired treatment area and depth is important.

• Number of needles

  The number of needles on a meso roller can range from 1 to 100+. More needles can provide better coverage and faster treatment but may be more painful. Choosing a needle quantity appropriate for the treatment goals and patient comfort is important.

• Material and construction

  Considering the materials used to make meso needles and their construction quality is important. High-quality stainless steel is best, as it is strong and resistant to infection. Some needles have a coating that makes them easier to insert into the skin. These needles are best for treatments where pain is a concern.

• Packaging and sterilization

  Meso needles should be packaged in a way that maintains their sterility. Individually packaged and sealed needles are best. Some needles come in pre-packaged sets with syringes. These can be convenient for single-use and disposal. Considering the proper disposal of used needles is also important for safety.

• Cost and value

  The cost of meso needles can vary depending on their quality and quantity. Many needles come in packs of 5, 10, or 50+. Buying in larger quantities is more cost-effective. While considering cost, choosing needles that provide good treatment results and patient comfort is important.

How to use, install, and product safety

Meso needles can be used safely at home with needle meso kits. The kit contains needles of varying lengths and a derma pen or microneedling device. The following steps will ensure the process is done correctly and safely.

• Clean the skin

  Wash the targeted area with a cleanser to remove any dirt and residue. Once done, disinfect the area with alcohol and let it dry. This helps prevent any infection from occurring.

• Apply the numbing cream

  Applying a numbing cream helps ease any discomfort when microneedling. Follow the directions on the packaging on how to apply it. Once applied, wait for the recommended time for the cream to take effect.

• Prepare the meso needles

  Depending on the length of the needle and the microneedting pen, attach the appropriate needle to the pen. Take out the alcohol swabs and prep the needles by disinfecting them.

• Microneedle

  Insert the pen into the skin at an angle of 90 degrees. Apply a little pressure and drag it across the skin. Do not drag the pen over the skin excessively. Once the pen has reached the desired depth, stop. Meso needles should only be used once and disposed of properly.

• Inject meso solution

  After microneedling, inject the meso solution into the skin with a syringe. Alternatively, continue using the microneedling pen, which will automatically inject the meso solution into the skin. The pen will inject the solution into the targeted area at the desired depth.

• Apply creams and serum

  After microneedling, the skin will be red and inflamed like a burn. Apply hydrating creams and serums to soothe the skin. Avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen to the area once creams are done. Do not use any product that contains alcohol for at least 48 hours.

Product Safety

The meso needles are safe when used properly. The major concerns are infections and injuries. Using the needle on clean skin is essential to prevent infections. Also, use the needle only once on a single-use basis. Injuries can occur if the needle is used on a non-qualified body part. Using a longer needle can also cause injuries.

Functions, features and designs of meso needles

Meso needles have many features and functions that help deliver drugs into the skin. Below are some of them:

• Needle Count: The needle count on the device ranges from 1 to 12. The number of needles on the device affects the level of treatment. A higher number of needles provides a wider treatment area.
• Needle Length: The needles come in different lengths. The lengths range from 0.2mm to 3.0mm. Needles with a smaller length are used for superficial treatments. This includes treating fine lines and wrinkles. Needles with greater lengths are used to treat deeper scars.
• Needle Material: Meso needles are made from stainless steel or surgical steel. The material used to make the needles is rust-resistant. This makes it safe to use on the skin.
• Needle adjustment: Meso needles have needle length adjustments that can be adjusted manually or automatically. Manually adjusting the needle length requires turning the dial on the device. The device will adjust the needle length according to the selected measurement.
• Needle cartridge: Meso needles have a needle cartridge that holds the needles in place. Some needle cartridges are replaceable and easy to switch out.
• Digital display: Meso needles have a digital display that shows the settings and measurements. This makes it easy for users to know which treatment mode to use.
• Special features: Some meso needles have special features like LED light therapy, suction, or a dermal pump. LED light therapy uses different light colors to treat various skin conditions. This includes redness or acne. The meso needle suction removes excess oil from the skin.

Q&A

Q1: What is the difference between mesotherapy needles and other needles?

A1: Meso needles are designed for injecting drugs into the dermis. They are blunt and have a thicker body compared to regular needles. The thickness of the needle varies according to the procedure being carried out. Meso needles also have safety features that other needles may lack.

Q2: What are the quality assurance certifications for meso needles?

A2: Meso needles are medical devices, so they have to undergo strict quality assurance tests before reaching the market. The quality assurance certifications are CE markings, ISO certifications, and European and American compliance markings.

Q3: What are the storage requirements for meso needles?

A3: Meso needles should be stored in a clean, dry place. They should be kept in a needle holder and away from direct sunlight. The storage area should also be well-ventilated and dust-free. Excessive heat or humidity can also damage the needles.

Q4: What are the disposal requirements for used meso needles?

A4: Meso needles are single-use and should be disposed of after use. The used needles should be placed in a sharp's container immediately after use. This is because used meso needles can pose a risk of injury to people and pets. Once the sharp's container is full, it should be sealed and disposed of according to local waste disposal regulations.
