Mesogun Frequently Asked Questions

Q

What kind of treatment is the Mesogun?

A

Mesogun is a treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to inject a solution tailored to specific skin concerns into the subcutaneous layer.

Q

What are the features of the YAYOI CLINIC's Mesogun?

A

YAYOI CLINIC has introduced the “MP Gun (mpgun®).” It features two modes—Gun Mode, which injects medication, and Pen Mode, which utilizes the skin’s natural wound-healing process—and we select the appropriate mode based on the patient’s skin condition and treatment goals.

Q

Does the Mesogun hurt?

A

The Mesogun treatment involves inserting ultra-fine needles at high speed, so it is designed to minimize pain and bleeding. For those concerned about pain, we can apply an anesthetic cream upon request.

Q

What skin concerns is the Mesogun suitable for?

A

The Mesogun is used by people concerned about enlarged pores, fine lines around the eyes, sagging pores, acne scars, dullness, loss of skin firmness and elasticity, and excessive sebum production.

Q

Can Mesogun be injected around the eyes and on the sides of the nose?

A

Yes. A key feature of the Mesogun is its ability to inject the solution into precise areas, such as the outer corners of the eyes and the sides of the nose. We adjust the injection volume and settings based on the treatment area and skin condition.

Q

What kind of medication is used with the Mesogun?

A

At YAYOI CLINIC, we offer treatments designed for skin brightening and anti-aging, as well as the “YAYOI Cocktail Serum,” which combines these treatments with Botox.

Q

What is the difference between the MesoGun and the Dermapen 4?

A

The Mesogun injects the medication subcutaneously at the same time the needle is inserted. In contrast, the Dermapen 4 creates microscopic holes in the skin with its 16 needles and then applies the medication. At YAYOI CLINIC, we select the appropriate device based on the patient’s skin condition and treatment goals.

Q

How long is the downtime for the Mesogun treatment?

A

With the MesoGun, redness, bruising, swelling, and pain may occur. While redness and bruising may subside within a few hours, the severity of these symptoms varies from person to person.

Q

Can I wear makeup after a Mesogun treatment?

A

With the Mesogun treatment, you can apply makeup starting the day after your procedure.

Q

How many Mesogun treatments should I have?

A

The number of Mesogun treatments required varies depending on your skin concerns, the medication used, and your skin condition. While we generally consider 1 to 3 sessions to be one course of treatment, we will recommend a treatment frequency tailored to your specific condition.
