Is the thick layer of tissue below the epidermis that forms the true skin, containing blood capillaries, nerve endings, sweat glands, hair follicles and other structures. This is layer contains collagen and elastin - the proteins that make skin strong, resilient, and flexible.
The two layers of the dermis are:
PAPILLARY LAYER is the uppermost layer of the dermis. It intertwines with the ridges of the epidermis and is composed of fine and loosely arranged collagen fibers. RECTICULAR LAYER is the lower layer of the dermis, found under the papillary dermis, composed of dense irregular connective tissue featuring densely packed collagen fibers. It is the primary location of dermal elastic fibers. Mesotherapy treatments work in the dermis layer by stimulating collagen and elastin production, speeding up blood circulation, and helping to flush out free radicals and other toxins.
