Mesotherapy is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves injecting small amounts of various substances into the middle layer of the skin.
During mesotherapy, a series of injections containing a customized cocktail of vitamins, minerals, medications, and/or natural extracts are administered into the targeted area of the skin
The ingredients in mesotherapy injections can vary depending on the desired outcome and the practitioner's approach. Common ingredients include vitamins, hyaluronic acid, amino acids, minerals, enzymes, and plant extracts.
The number of treatments required can vary based on individual factors and the specific condition being treated. Typically, multiple sessions are needed, and visible results may start appearing after a few sessions.
Discomfort levels during mesotherapy can vary from person to person. Some individuals may experience minimal pain or discomfort during the injections, while others may find it slightly uncomfortable. Local anesthesia or numbing cream can be used to minimize discomfort.
Compared to surgical techniques like liposuction, mesotherapy is non-invasive, requires no downtime, and has fewer risks and side effects. It can be a less expensive option for targeted fat reduction and skin rejuvenation.
The longevity of mesotherapy results varies depending on factors such as individual response, treated area, and maintenance. Typically, periodic touch-up treatments are recommended to sustain the desired results over time.
While mesotherapy is generally considered safe, it can have potential side effects such as temporary bruising, swelling, redness, itching, or allergic reactions. Rarely, infection or scarring can occur. Consulting with a qualified practitioner will help you understand the specific risks associated with your situation.
Most people can resume their daily activities, including work, immediately after mesotherapy. However, you may experience mild swelling or redness at the injection site, which usually subsides within a few hours to a few days.
