What Is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a term used to describe procedures involving the injection of specific substances into or beneath the skin.
The substances and treatment methods vary depending on the intended purpose and the medical protocol used.
As the term can refer to different cosmetic applications, it is important to identify the specific type of mesotherapy and the substances involved before proceeding.
What Is Mesotherapy Used For?
Depending on the procedure and the substances used, mesotherapy may be discussed for certain cosmetic concerns involving the skin, hair, or body.
There is no single formulation suitable for every individual. Scientific evidence regarding effectiveness and safety varies according to the intended use and injected substance. A clinical assessment is therefore important to discuss potential benefits and risks before treatment.
What to Expect During a Mesotherapy Session
The process begins with a consultation to identify your goals and review your medical history and relevant health conditions. The clinician will explain the procedure, the substances to be used, the application method, expected outcomes, possible session requirements, and potential side effects.
Treatment should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional using suitable, clearly identified products and appropriate infection-control procedures.
What Are the Potential Side Effects?
Side effects vary depending on the injected substance and technique and may include:
- Redness or swelling at the injection site.
- Temporary pain or bruising.
- Skin irritation or allergic reactions.
- Lumps or infection in some cases.
Discuss potential complications with your clinician before treatment. Seek medical care if you experience severe pain, increasing swelling, or unusual symptoms.
