What is a mesoscooter and which one is suitable for the body?
The mesoscooter belongs to the category of medical or cosmetic auxiliary instruments. It is a plastic nozzle with a metal roller equipped with many small needles, which are made of medical steel in its pure form or with the addition of valuable metals. The latter last longer.
To treat the skin of the body, it is recommended to choose wide rollers with a number of needles of 540 or more, this allows you to simultaneously massage large problem areas. In addition, the skin of the body is thicker than the skin of the face, which means the length of the needles should be from 0.7 to 1.5 mm, but at home it is recommended to use models with a needle length of up to 0.5 mm.
Precautionary measures
Before performing the procedures, perform the following operations:
- Disinfect the device, hands and facial skin
- Do not use mesoscooters with long needles (professional) at home
- Using expired appliances is ineffective. The needles become dull and oxidize, so instead of benefit, you can get worse.
- After the procedure, the device is disinfected again.
Attention! If possible, it is better to buy a mesoscooter in a sterile tube.
Operating principle
The principle of operation of the mesoscooter is extremely simple. It is used for intensive skin massage in various directions for 3 – 5 minutes . Needles located on the roller create microscopic punctures in the skin, activating local processes of protection and regeneration. Cells begin to rapidly divide and renew themselves to restore the integrity of the dermis, which results in increased elasticity, firmness and elimination of skin defects. Microscopic punctures from needles facilitate the penetration of drug particles into the depths of the dermis. A high level of permeability ensures maximum absorption of substances.

How often to carry out
The face roller with needles gives positive results after the first use. However, to obtain a satisfactory result it must be used systematically.
The frequency of procedures depends on the length of the needles:
- 0.25 mm - possible every 2 days;
- 0.50 mm - no more than once a week;
- 1.00 mm - no more than once every 2-3 weeks;
- Longer than 1.00 mm - every 6-8 weeks.
Constant use of a needle roller can damage the skin structure. This cannot be done if the skin has not yet healed from the previous procedure.
Features of the fight against cellulite
The use of mesoscooters to combat cellulite is quite effective even without the use of medicinal drugs. The mechanical effect of the roller with needles provides local positive changes of the following nature:
- Increased metabolism due to increased skin temperature caused by intense contact with the device, assistance in removing decay products and excess fluid.
- Strengthening capillaries and small vessels.
- Activation of skin cell renewal.
- Optimization of local blood circulation and lymph flow processes.
Needles with a length of 0.5 mm are more effective, but also more dangerous. If you decide to use devices with such parameters at home, you risk causing complications.
Advantages and disadvantages
The positive side includes qualities such as:
- safety – the formed channels close after a few hours;
- effectiveness - skin condition may improve after the first sessions;
- home use – a big plus is the ability to use the tool at home;

What drugs work best in combination with mesoscooters?
Using the device together with gel or serum improves the effect. Beneficial substances penetrate deep into the skin through micropunctures, their adsorption increases up to 90%.
Cocktails and concentrates are used together with the mesoscooter:
- Preparations with hyaluronic acid and a peptide complex help improve skin health, narrow pores in oily areas
- Ascorbic acid whitens the skin, including age spots
- Chamomile soothes irritated skin
- Aloe vera removes inflammation, moisturizes and improves tone
- Collagen preparations improve tone, tighten the skin, make it elastic
To achieve maximum effect, use cocktails. They may contain hyaluron, peptides, seaweed, and protein compounds. The best of them are Gel Serum de jeunesse avec l'acide Hyaluronique, Laura Meso-effect, preparations from Gold Etit, Herbamine, Phytodon.

Types of mesoscooters by area of application
- Universal dermarollers - suitable for both face and body. Nasolabial folds and wrinkles above the upper lip can also be treated with such rollers.
- For eyes and nasolabial folds - narrow rollers with two or three rows of needles.
- For the body - double-width rollers (4 cm drum, 410 needles).
Types of mesoscooters by number of needles
How are dermarollers different from each other?
The next difference between Mesoscooters is the number of needles on the drum.
- Standard mesoscooters are made with 192 needles (sometimes they indicate approximately 200).
- Rollers with 540 microneedles - more punctures per dermaroller roll.
Typically, dermarollers with 540 needles have a assembled drum (needle wheels interspersed with plastic rings), and those with 192 needles have a cast drum.
Side effects
After using the mesoscooter, local redness is observed on the skin within the treated area of the body. Some patients complain of a burning sensation, mild pain and mild swelling. Such side effects last no more than a day and go away on their own.
When using a device with a significant length of needles, be prepared for more serious consequences:
- Formation of hematomas and bruises.
- An increase or decrease in pressure.
- Increased heart rate.
- Fibrosis of soft tissues.
Useful tips: how to increase the effectiveness of procedures
After the procedure with a mesoscooter, swelling and redness may appear on the face. The longer the needles, the greater the likelihood of such manifestations. Full recovery may take from several days to a couple of weeks. During this period, it is very important for the skin to protect itself from exposure to sunlight. If you don't use sunscreen, dark spots will form at the puncture sites.
It is also necessary to use anti-inflammatory and soothing drugs, treating the skin with them. It is imperative to keep the surface clean so as not to introduce infections deeper. During this period, it is better to use products for sensitive skin.
Skin care after the procedure
There is virtually no rehabilitation after using a mesoscooter. For 2-3 days after the procedure, you must avoid ultraviolet radiation, do not sunbathe or visit a solarium.
Try to refrain from using cosmetic products and physical activity that leads to increased sweating. Foreign substances can irritate the skin and create an environment suitable for the development of bacteria. To prevent infection and inflammatory processes, the treated skin areas are cleansed with an antiseptic.
How does the device work?
The principle of operation is that the needles leave thin multiple punctures of varying depths. The skin around the eyes should not be treated with the same mesoscooter as the entire face or body.
Microtraumas from injections lead to an intensification of the regeneration process of all tissues of the body. Other consequences of treating the skin with a mesoscooter:
- Acceleration of cell division.
- Creation of a new capillary network, increased blood flow, saturation of the blood with oxygen and additional nutrients.
- Activation of fibroblasts: the skin is saturated with collagen and elastin, looks smooth, elastic and dense.
- Reducing the number of pores and wrinkles.
- Strengthening the process of natural hydration.
Numerous punctures have a reflexogenic effect, which stimulates the body’s nervous system and enhances enzymatic processes. When using a mesoscooter, the absorption of cosmetics and medicinal products increases many times .
Price
On average, the price of one such procedure in a salon is 1000 - 1500 rubles. The exact numbers are determined by the type of problem presenting, the duration of exposure, the type of drug used, and a number of other additional factors. A full course of therapy using a mesoscooter involves at least 5 - 7 procedures with a total cost of 7 thousand rubles.
To save money, many patients purchase devices for personal use and use them themselves. The price of the simplest model is approximately 1000 - 2000 rubles, you will also need to purchase a suitable medicinal drug, and if your skin is sensitive, an anesthetic cream.
