English term

picotage

English to Dutch Medical Medical (general)
This is a term from a medical questionnaire; the respondents needs to indicate how many times this procedure has been performed - it seems to be about anti-ageaing. They also mention 'depotage' (separate question) and the total number of areas injected.

Many thanks for your help.

mesolift/mesotherapie

'Picotage' wordt op deze (Italiaanse!) site als volgt beschreven:

'There are two methods of cutaneous re-vitalization: the “Cross-linked” technique and the “Picotage” technique (serial puncture).
The former (...). The latter is useful for young people who want to prevent and block cutaneous aging caused by exposure to sunlight or tanning lamps and it represents the best technique for the treatment of the neckline and décolleté: numerous very superficial, practically painless micro-injections are carried out on the face, neck and décolleté, distanced one centimetre one from another: microponfi of hyaluronic acid are formed and in a short time the acid is uniformly distributed in the derma, binding water, and it is possible to clearly see a better degree of hydration and turgidity of the skin.' (ref. 1)

Wordt dat in NL niet 'mesolift' of 'mesotherapie' genoemd? Geen idee of dat de lading dekt, maar het lijkt me het uitzoeken waard.

prikken

Of - afhankelijk van de verdere context - kun je ook zeggen: 'het prikken'.

picotage (Italiaans?)

Popping into the gym for just half an hour is not enough to keep your body in shape. The same applies to your face. You should start serious facial care at about 25-30. There are treatments for all ages. The best to begin with are a light peeling or a picotage with natural hyaluronic acid (painless micro-injections very close together) which stimulates the upper layers of the skin, the ones that most need energy to produce collagen and elastin. Result: a more relaxed, tonic skin.
