What is Hyaluronic Acid?

Is the Meso-roller safe to use?
The Meso-roller included in the MESO-BRIGHT and MESO-GLOW treatment kits are extremely safe and easy to use. The Meso-roller is sized at 0.1mm and is safe for sensitive skin use. It does not puncture the skin or cause any bleeding, it just lightly stimulates and pricks the skin to encourage a full absorption of the product, and to cause tiny traumas that trigger the skin renewal process.
What type of sensation should I expect while using the Meso-roller?
Most users report a very mild-prickling sensation while using the Meso-roller, and it is completely normal. The Meso-roller relies on the tiny injuries it causes to the skin that triggers the skin renewal process, it also helps absorb the powerful MESO-serums provided. Slight redness is also common and will subside within minutes. To calm any redness or an uncomfortable pulling sensation, it is recommended to apply a calming fragrance-free moisturizer or gel mask. The Meso-roller is sized at 0.1mm, and is designed for sensitive skin, therefore it does in not puncture the skin.
Does the Meso-roller hurt?
The 0.1mm sized Meso-roller has very fine needles for sensitive skin, therefore should not cause any pain. If you find the roller to be painful, try applying less pressure and continue to ‘activate’ the roller in the provided MESO-serum every 30 seconds. If pain continues it is recommended to stop the application until pain subsides.
I have really sensitive skin, should I use a Meso-roller?
While the Meso-roller has the finest needles and is appropriate for all skin types, if you have a history of overly reactive skin, it is recommended to first test the Meso-roller on the inside of your wrist to see if there is a hypersensitive reaction. If there is a negative/allergic reaction, it is not recommended to use the Meso-roller on the face.
How long should one treatment of MESO-BRIGHT and MESO-GLOW take? How do I know when I’m finished?
Each application process should take between 10-20 minutes, depending on your skin’s ability to absorb the product. It is recommended to ‘reactivate’ the Meso-roller every 30 seconds to continue to apply the MESO-serum to the face. If after 20 minutes serum remains, you can gently tap the remaining serum under your eyes, the decollete, or the tops of your hands.
When should I use MESO-BRIGHT or MESO-GLOW?
It is recommended to use the at-home MESO treatments before bed to allow a full absorption of the product and permit a complete recovery of the skin. If you prefer to use the product before an important event, allow 2-3 hours for serum to absorb in it’s entirety and then go out and glow!
How often should I use the Meso-roller?
It is recommended to use the MESO treatment one time per week for five weeks. After, you can continue to use the Meso-roller with your favorite skincare products, though it is strongly recommended to replace the Meso-roller every three months.
How often should I use MESO-GLOW and MESO-BRIGHT?
Both products were designed to be used one time per week for five consecutive weeks to generate long-lasting and visible results. Both treatments can be repeated as often as necessary, and it is recommended to do a 5-week treatment every season.
How do I disinfect the Meso-roller?
Before and after each use of the Meso-roller, it is suggested to properly clean the tool. To begin, rinse or soak the Meso-roller with isopropyl alcohol to ensure no bacteria or germs are left on the tool. Next, rinse the roller with warm (not hot) water and let it air dry before placing it back it’s provided protective carrier.
Note: do not share the Meso-roller with other people.
