Mesotherapy & its versions. Acupuncture & its Mesopuncture version.
It is
currently described, in Mesotherapy
·
Classical
Mesotherapy
**-* The
Mesotherapy needle of 4mm long is inserted into the epidermis, dermis, and
superficial hypodermis.
The Therapist
performs injections in the skin area, facing or close to the altered area of
the body. The MPs, separated from each other, are created less compactly than
in the 'nappage' version but
without taking into account the pre-existing APs located in this area.
However, it
is difficult for the Therapist in front to a thin or skinny Patient to assess
reliably, the layer of skin reached by the inserted needle which will be, in
this case, rather inserted into the connective tissue, target tissue of Acupuncture:
. Insertion of a 4mm long Mesotherapy needle into the connective tissue of
the PA or surrounding it, will cause a Mesopuncture effect, association of an
Acupuncture and Pharmacological effect, of intensity if the needle is inserted
into the AP, of less intensity if the needle is inserted outside the AP.
**-* In
Mesotherapy, beside using needles 4 mm long, it is of common practice to use
longer needles but inserted at a depth evaluated, by the Therapist of around 4
mm long and then optionally to inject the liquid drug.
Insertion into cutaneous points outside the APs to an evaluated depth of 4
mm of a longer needle, with/without injection, will cause Acupuncture and
Pharmacological effects, of lesser intensity than in the APs, due to the lower
volume of connective tissue cleavage plans located outside the AP.
Inserted into the AP, this needle will cause an Acupuncture and
Mesopuncture Effect of same intensity than in classical acupuncture.
- The version 'nappage' of Mesotherapy.
Injection of the drug is
performed in a given area.
The MPs are created very close
to each other, often adjacent to each other; insertion of the needle can be
intra epidermal.
It was not taken into account
of APs located in this given area which will be stimulated by the liquid drug
injected.
- The path of APs is described as starting at
the epidermis and ending in the connective tissue: If the Therapist inserts his needle into
the epidermal part of the AP, he is in the scope of Acupuncture, the
injection will be made into the AP also. Dry
Mesotherapy
Needles are inserted into the dermis or superficial hypodermis, without injection. As we have already written it, it is not taken into account in this skin surface, of pre-existing APs which path begins in the epidermis.
Without knowledge of
systematic localization of the AP it is difficult to assert that a part of the
therapeutic improvement in Mesotherapy is not attributable to the connective
tissue stimuli, through acupuncture points particularly but not exclusively.
·
ASHI points
The problem goes dark because there are APs, without
systematized topography, only recognized by a pain at the pressure of the
fingers, the ASCHI points. They are found in almost all parts of the body, they
disappear, often quickly.
It is possible that the cutaneous point qualified Mesotherapy
point with beneficial therapeutic effect in the pathology in treatment, was
actually an acupuncture point ASCHI.
• In many countries, Mesotherapy has been
incorporated into Western medicine, although many of its beneficial effects may
be attributed to acupuncture/Mesopuncture...
Furthermore, without knowledge of the systematized location
of AP it is difficult to argue that a part of the therapeutic improvement in Mesotherapy,
is not due to the insertion of needles in an inadequate layer of skin and that this
needle tis not inserted in the connective tissue in the connective tissue
through the AP or outside the AP.
