Mesotherapy injections
Under-eye mesotherapy
Treatment method and purpose
- Superficial injection of a selected product may be proposed for some under-eye skin-quality concerns. The cause of dark circles must be distinguished among hollowing, pigmentation, blood vessels, puffiness, and allergy; evidence across products is limited and variable.
Suitable candidates and limitations
- Selected cases after examination; puffiness, deep hollowing, or eyelid disease may require another method.
Sessions, time to results, and longevity
- Usually a course of several sessions if appropriate; the degree and duration of improvement cannot be guaranteed.
Possible complications and safety considerations
- Prolonged swelling, bruising, allergic reactions, lumps, infection, and injury to delicate structures around the eyes may occur.
Preparation before your visit
- At the examination, disclose your medical history, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, cold sores, medications, and recent procedures. Prescription medications, especially blood thinners, must not be stopped without medical advice. Active infection or inflammation in the area must be assessed before the procedure.
Post-treatment care and follow-up
- Do not press or massage the area unless instructed by your doctor; ask your doctor when you can apply makeup, exercise, and be exposed to heat. Severe or increasing pain, unusual skin discoloration, or problems with vision, swallowing, or breathing require immediate assessment.
