MMP®
What is MMP®?
The acronym MMP® refers to Microinfusion of Medicines into the Skin. This procedure involves applying medication directly to the skin to treat a variety of dermatological conditions.
During microinfusion of medication into the skin, a solution containing medication is injected into the superficial layer of the skin, usually using fine needles or specialized devices.
The composition of the solution can vary according to the purpose of the treatment, but generally includes a combination of prescription drugs, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and other active compounds.

What are MMP’s objectives?®?
The objectives of MMP include moisturizing and nourishing the skin by providing essential nutrients to the skin, improving its hydration and nutrition. This can help improve the skin’s overall appearance and quality.
The injection of medication can stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, proteins that are fundamental to the structure and elasticity of the skin. This can help improve the firmness and elasticity of the skin.
It is also used to treat some skin conditions: MMP can be used to treat various skin conditions, such as skin ageing, wrinkles, sagging, spots, scars, stretch marks, among others.
Injected medications can help improve the appearance and health of the skin in these specific areas.

The MMP®
The procedure involves inserting a fine needle directly into the lesion or affected area of the scalp to administer the medication. The frequency and number of injections will depend on the specific condition being treated and the patient’s individual response.
It is important to emphasize that the MMP technique on the scalp should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional, who will assess the suitability of the treatment, select the appropriate medication and monitor the patient’s response over time.
The use of medication via MMP can present risks and side effects, so it is essential to follow the doctor’s instructions and discuss all your doubts and concerns before starting treatment.

It’s important to note that MMP® is not a pain-free procedure. However, depending on the medical team and, of course, the region to be treated, a local anesthetic can be administered to make things more comfortable.
MMP® usually causes a few bleeding points which resolve spontaneously. The swelling and redness caused by the microlesions disappears after 2-3 days. It is also common for a few scabs to appear in the area, but this is part of the skin’s healing process.
Despite being a simple procedure, some recommendations are fundamental, such as avoiding exposure to the sun, applying the right products to the area to speed up healing, and not touching the treated area all the time.
Is a scalp biopsy safe?
It’s important to note that scalp biopsy is a safe and well-tolerated procedure in most cases. However, as with any medical procedure, minor risks may occur, such as temporary discomfort, bleeding or local infection. The doctor in charge of the procedure will explain all the details and clarify any doubts you may have.
If you are experiencing persistent hair problems and other tests have not provided a clear diagnosis, a scalp biopsy may be the next step in understanding the cause of your problem and obtaining effective treatment.
Don’t hesitate to make an appointment to discuss the possibility of a scalp biopsy and take the first step towards an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment for your hair problems.
Before any invasive procedure is indicated, an initial assessment should be carried out to evaluate the next step. Biopsy is only a diagnostic aid and can often be avoided by using other complementary diagnostic tests.
Frequently Asked Questions
We answer common questions that patients may have about the procedure.
These answers are intended to provide patients with accurate and reliable information about the procedure.
MMP administration into the scalp refers to the injection of medication directly into lesions or specific areas of the scalp. This technique is often used to treat specific conditions such as alopecia (hair loss) or other inflammatory diseases of the scalp.
This technique allows the medication to be delivered directly to the affected site, providing a more direct and concentrated action.
The most commonly used drugs have anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties, which can reduce inflammation, control immune reactions and, in some cases, promote hair growth.
It’s important to note that the effectiveness of MMP can vary according to the condition being
treated and the individual response of each person.
In addition, mesotherapy must be carried out by a qualified and experienced professional, who will select the appropriate drugs and carry out the procedure safely and hygienically, taking into account the patient’s individual needs and characteristics.
