Mesotherapy injections
Mesotherapy
Treatment method and purpose
- Mesotherapy involves injecting small amounts of a selected product into the skin. The product's composition, authorization, and purpose matter; evidence is not the same for every formulation and application, and the term mesotherapy alone does not guarantee a specific effect.
Suitable candidates and limitations
- Selected skin-quality concerns after assessment; allergies to ingredients, infection, and pregnancy must be assessed.
Sessions, time to results, and longevity
- Often a course of several sessions with response assessment; spacing and number depend on the product and goal, and the effect may be limited or temporary.
Possible complications and safety considerations
- Pain, bruising, temporary bumps, allergic reactions, infection, granulomas, and scarring 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.
