Usually cosmetics do not penetrate deeply, and medications if swallowed affect the entire body, and to the right place reaches only a small fraction of the drug. As a result, the "point of attack" effect is achieved in a very short time. Different formulations mesotherapeutic cocktail allow to solve a wide range of problems.
