DMAE in cosmetology is an effective method of skin rejuvenation

Aging is a natural process from which any person cannot escape. However, if you follow a healthy lifestyle and use the right skin care products on time, you can slow it down.
DMAE, which is also called dimethylaminoethanol, has recently been one of the most popular and effective methods of rejuvenation in cosmetology and has a very positive effect on the condition of the skin.
It is used for anti-aging, including reducing wrinkles, fine lines, increasing elasticity and smoothing sagging skin, as well as giving it a glow.
In the beginning, this substance was used as a food additive, which contributed to memory, improving sleep, and later in many cosmetology products.
Modern research has proven that the maximum effect of DMAE is best achieved with local application (mesotherapy).
 

What is DMAE?

DMAE is an organic compound that is produced and found in small amounts in the human body. This substance is a precursor of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that helps establish a connection between nerves and muscles.
As long as there is a sufficient amount of acetylcholine (which DMAE turns into after certain chemical reactions), the muscle tissue works correctly and quickly takes its former shape after certain movements.
With age, the amount of acetylcholine significantly decreases. It is because of its lack that the body is exposed to stress, gets tired more quickly, becomes lethargic, and the work of the brain is disturbed. Accordingly, all this leads to the fact that the body ages faster, and the tone of the skin and muscles decreases, wrinkles and mimic wrinkles appear, the oval of the face becomes indistinct.
DMAE is found in salmon roe and meat, sardines and other seafood. People who regularly use such products can boast of the Scandinavian type of aging and even with age have elastic and beautiful skin.
Thus, DMAE must be obtained externally to maintain skin health.
 

How is DMAE useful in cosmetology?

DMAE allows the facial muscles to relax and contract, creating a more elastic and smooth skin surface, helps to increase the thickness of the skin's collagen fibers, which prevents it from sagging.
The use of DMAE as a cosmetology product is also due to its immune-restoring and antioxidant properties.
Dimethylaminoethanol has a powerful antioxidant effect and cleanses the body of toxins.
DMAE acts as an antioxidant membrane stabilizer that becomes part of the cell's plasma membrane, helping the cell better defend itself against stress and providing protection against free radical damage. It stabilizes and restores cell membranes, the degradation of which is considered one of the main causes of aging.
Due to its properties, DMAE pairs well with antioxidant foods such as vitamins A, C and E, helping to boost its ability to fight free radicals.
 
The main properties of this substance include:
  • strengthens muscle tone, tightens and strengthens the skin;
  • improves the oval of the face;
  • reduces fine lines and wrinkles;
  • moisturizes the skin;
  • brightens dull skin and evens out its tone;
  • stabilizes cell membranes;
  • removes toxins and impurities;
  • is an antidote to botolutaxin (removes it in the event of an unsuccessful injection);
  • improves the overall appearance of the skin;
  • helps fight pigment spots;
  • improves skin condition with acne, scars, stretch marks.

Indications for the use of DMAE

DMAE injections can solve a number of aesthetic problems, including:
  • the presence of wrinkles and mimic wrinkles on the face, neck, décolleté.
  • deformation of facial contours and gravitational ptosis of the skin;
  • double chin;
  • failed injections of botulinum toxin;
  • hyperpigmentation and skin inflammation.

Is DMAE safe?

Recent studies have established that dimethylaminoethanol is safe for the human body and does not cause any harm if its concentration is no more than 3%.
 

Advantages, disadvantages and contraindications

The use of DMAE has the following advantages:
  • is a natural substance;
  • course speed. The usual course involves 4-6 procedures.
  • the result will be noticeable already after the first session;
  • after completing the course, the result remains unchanged for a long time;
  • does not have age restrictions - after reaching the age of 18, dimethylaminoethanol injections are allowed for everyone.
Disadvantages
 
The procedure is relatively painful. The fact is that DMAE is administered intramuscularly, not subcutaneously. Accordingly, the application of local anesthesia, which acts superficially, cannot reduce the sensitivity of muscle tissues, and therefore the pain from injections is quite noticeable. At the same time, it should be noted that the pain is short-lived and lasts no more than 3 seconds after one injection.
 
Contraindication:
  • the presence of a skin disease in the area of the procedure;
  • pregnancy and lactation;
  • oncological diseases;
  • diabetes;
  • diseases of the immune system;
  • epilepsy and mental illness;
  • blood diseases associated with excessive bleeding.
Also, it is important to consider that DMAE has a mild choleretic effect. Therefore, its use is not recommended for people with gall bladder and biliary tract problems.
 

DMAE mesotherapy procedure

Depending on the goals and aesthetic problems, several techniques of DMAE injection can be used - intramuscular, nappage and papular.
For example, to improve the condition of the skin, the procedure is carried out by means of application or papulno, and to tighten the skin or improve the oval of the face, intramuscular injections are used.
The drug is injected with a syringe with a very thin needle into the skin of the problem area or muscle.
The papular technique is performed by inserting a needle at an angle of 15-20 degrees. At the same time, injections are made in areas with a thin subcutaneous fat layer: chin, forehead, neck. After the injection, a small bump remains - a papule.
Nappage - the drug is administered in small doses. The intervals between the injection points should be 1 cm. The needle should be placed at an angle of 40 degrees to the skin.
Depending on the treatment area, the procedure takes from 10 to 20 minutes.
After the procedure, you can make a mask or apply a cream that has soothing and healing properties.
 
Also, there are some recommendations before performing a DMAE injection:
  • the client must not be sick;
  • a few days before the procedure, stop taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and anticoagulants;
  • do not drink alcoholic beverages on the day of the procedure.
To obtain a lasting effect, it is necessary to carry out 4-6 procedures, the interval between which should be at least one week. If necessary, the course can be repeated, but not earlier than after six months.
 

Rehabilitation

If the procedure is carried out correctly, the rehabilitation period proceeds arbitrarily quickly and without significant discomfort. After the session, point marks from the needles remain, sometimes bruises with a diameter of 2-4 mm are observed. and slight swelling. The condition of the skin normalizes after 1-2 days.
 
During the 7 days, it is not recommended:
  • touching, massaging or rubbing the injection sites;
  • use peelings or scrubs;
  • visit saunas and baths;
  • sunbathe in the sun or in a solarium;
  • drink alcohol.
