Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that involves injecting a customised mixture of vitamins, enzymes and other ingredients into the middle layer of the skin (the mesoderm). The goal is to rejuvenate and tighten the skin, as well as improve specific concerns.

Common Applications of Mesotherapy:

  1. Skin Rejuvenation: Improves texture, elasticity, and hydration.

  2. Hair Loss: Stimulates hair follicles to encourage growth and strengthen hair.

  3. Fat Reduction: Targets localised fat deposits in areas like the stomach, thighs, or under the chin.

  4. Cellulite Reduction: Breaks down connective tissue bands causing cellulite appearance.

  5. Pigmentation Issues: Helps even out skin tone by addressing dark spots or discoloration.

Procedure Overview

  • A fine needle delivers the treatment directly into the skin.

  • Ingredients are tailored to the individual’s needs (e.g., hyaluronic acid for hydration or vitamins for brightening).

  • A numbing cream may be applied beforehand to reduce discomfort.

  • Sessions typically last 20–30 minutes, with minimal downtime.

Benefits

  • Minimally invasive.

  • Targets specific areas with precise treatment.

  • Can address multiple concerns (e.g., skin aging, fat reduction, and pigmentation).

Side Effects and Risks

  • Swelling, redness, or mild bruising at the injection site.

  • Sensitivity or mild discomfort.

  • In rare cases, allergic reactions or infection may occur.

It’s important to have mesotherapy performed by a trained professional to ensure safety and optimal results. Consultation is usually recommended to assess suitability and create a customised treatment plan.


After undergoing mesotherapy, proper aftercare is crucial to maximise results and minimise side effects. Here’s a guide to follow:

Immediate Aftercare (First 24–48 Hours)

  1. Avoid Touching the Treated Area: Keep the area clean and refrain from touching or scratching to prevent infection.

  2. Skip Makeup: Avoid applying makeup or skincare products to the treated area to allow the skin to heal.

  3. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help flush toxins and support the rejuvenation process.

  4. No Exercise or Sweating: Avoid intense physical activities, saunas, or hot showers to prevent irritation and swelling.

  5. Protect from the Sun: Stay away from direct sunlight and apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect the skin.

Mid-Term Aftercare (Next Few Days)

  1. Use Gentle Skincare: Opt for mild cleansers and hydrating products; avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids, or acids.

  2. Manage Swelling or Bruising: Apply a cold compress if needed and use arnica cream to reduce bruising.

  3. Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: These can hinder healing and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.

  4. Skip Other Treatments: Refrain from facials, peels, or laser treatments for at least a week.

General Tips for Long-Term Care

  1. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: A balanced diet, hydration, and regular exercise help sustain results.

  2. Follow the Recommended Course: Mesotherapy often requires multiple sessions for optimal results.

  3. Schedule Maintenance Treatments: Depending on your goals, touch-ups every few months may be needed.

  4. Communicate with Your Practitioner: Report any unusual symptoms like excessive swelling, infection, or prolonged discomfort.

By following these aftercare guidelines, you can ensure faster healing and achieve the best possible outcome from your mesotherapy treatment. Always consult with your practitioner for personalised advice.
