What is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the injection of a mixture of revitalising substances into the mesoderm—the middle layer of the skin. This technique is used for various purposes, including skin rejuvenation, body contouring, and hair restoration. 

Key Components of Mesotherapy:

The revitalising substances used in mesotherapy typically include:

Vitamins: Essential for skin health, these vitamins help promote a radiant complexion and support collagen production.

Amino Acids: Important for the synthesis of proteins and enzymes, amino acids improve skin hydration and elasticity.

Minerals: Vital for numerous skin functions, minerals help protect the skin against environmental damage and promote healing.

Fillers: These substances can be used to restore volume and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Benefits of Mesotherapy:

Skin Rejuvenation: Enhances skin tone, texture, and hydration.

Fine Line and Wrinkle Reduction: Provides a plumping effect, smoothing out surface irregularities.

Body Contouring: Can help with localized fat reduction.

Hair Restoration: Promotes hair growth and strength.

Is Mesotherapy Painful?

No, mesotherapy is generally not painful. 

Some patients may experience a mild tingling or prickling sensation at the injection site, but this discomfort is typically short-lived and resolves within seconds. 

For those who may be particularly sensitive to pain, we offer:

Numbing Anaesthetic Cream: This cream can be applied to the treatment area 30 minutes prior to the procedure to enhance comfort.

Ice Packs: These can also be used to soothe the area before or during injections to minimize any discomfort.

Conclusion

Mesotherapy is a versatile and effective treatment option for skin rejuvenation and enhancement. If you have any concerns regarding the procedure or pain management options, please feel free to discuss them with your practitioner. Your comfort and satisfaction are of utmost importance!

Precautions Before Mesotherapy Treatment

To ensure a safe and effective mesotherapy treatment, it's important to follow specific guidelines regarding what to avoid in the days leading up to your appointment. Here are the key recommendations:

Substances to Avoid (at least one week prior):

Aspirin: This medication can thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising.

Vitamin E: Similar to aspirin, Vitamin E can also lead to increased bleeding or bruising.

Primrose Oil: This supplement may have a blood-thinning effect and should be avoided.

Nurofen (Ibuprofen): Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Nurofen can also increase bleeding tendencies.

Ginkgo Biloba: This herbal supplement may affect blood clotting and lead to bruising.

Chinese and Herbal Medicines: Some herbal remedies can have anticoagulant properties, so it's best to avoid them.

Skin Conditions to Consider:

Infection: Ensure that your skin is free from any active infections, as this can complicate the treatment.

Inflammation: Conditions like eczema, acne, or any other inflammatory skin problems should be addressed prior to treatment. It's advisable to consult with your practitioner for proper evaluation.

Additional Recommendations:

Hydration: Drink plenty of water leading up to your treatment to keep your skin hydrated.

Medical History: Inform your practitioner about any medical conditions or medications you are currently taking, as this can influence your treatment plan.

Consultation: If you have any concerns or questions regarding your suitability for mesotherapy, it's best to discuss them with your practitioner ahead of time.

Following these precautions can help minimize the risk of complications and ensure optimal results from your mesotherapy treatment. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Post-Treatment Care After Mesotherapy

After your mesotherapy treatment, there are a few simple guidelines to follow to ensure the best results and minimize any potential side effects:

General Recommendations:

Immediate Activities: There are no strict restrictions on activities following the treatment. You can generally resume your daily routine right after your appointment.

Excessive Physical Activity: It’s advisable to avoid rigorous exercises or strenuous physical activities for at least a few hours post-treatment. This helps reduce the risk of swelling or bruising at the injection sites.

Hydration: Continue to stay well-hydrated to support your skin and overall recovery.

Skin Care: 

Avoid applying makeup for the first 24 hours to allow your skin to breathe and minimize the risk of irritation or infection.

Use gentle skin care products and avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids, or active ingredients in the 48 hours following treatment.

Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from direct sunlight during the first few days post-treatment. Use sunscreen with a high SPF if you need to be outdoors.

Hot Environments: Avoid saunas, hot tubs, or intense sun exposure for at least 48 hours, as heat may increase swelling and discomfort.

Alcohol and Blood Thinners: It may be wise to avoid alcohol and any medications that could thin the blood (if not already avoided before treatment) for a couple of days.

Follow-Up:

Monitoring: Keep an eye on the injection sites for any unusual reactions, such as excessive swelling, redness, or pain. If you experience any concerning symptoms, it’s important to contact your practitioner.

Consultation: Schedule any recommended follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and discuss any questions or concerns about your results.

By following these post-treatment care guidelines, you can help ensure a smooth recovery and optimal outcomes from your mesotherapy treatment. If you have any specific concerns or questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Recommended Number of Mesotherapy Sessions

The number of mesotherapy sessions required can vary based on several factors, including the specific skin condition you're addressing, your individual response to treatment, and the desired outcomes. Here are some general guidelines:

Typical Session Recommendations:

Cumulative Effect: Mesotherapy treatments are known for their cumulative effects, meaning that the benefits build up over multiple sessions.

Session Frequency:

Initial Treatment: It is commonly recommended to undergo between 3 to 6 sessions for optimal results.

Frequency: Sessions are typically spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. This allows your skin time to respond to the treatment before the next session.

Maintenance: After the initial series of treatments, some individuals may benefit from maintenance sessions every few months to sustain the results.

Factors Influencing Session Number:

Skin Condition: The severity of the condition being treated (e.g., fine lines, pigmentation, acne scars) can impact the number of sessions required.

Response to Treatment: Individual responses can vary; some may see results sooner while others may need additional sessions.

Desired Results: Personal goals regarding the level of improvement can also dictate how many sessions are needed.

Consultation:

For a tailored treatment plan specific to your needs, it's important to have a consultation with your healthcare provider or aesthetic practitioner. They can assess your skin condition, discuss your goals, and recommend the most appropriate number of sessions for you.

By following a strategic treatment plan, you can achieve the best possible results from your mesotherapy sessions.

Longevity of Mesotherapy Results

The results from mesotherapy treatments can be quite impressive and generally last:

Duration: Results can last up to 12 to 18 months after completing a series of treatments.

Maintenance: To help maintain the benefits and prevent the effects from fading, many patients find it beneficial to have "top-up" treatments every 3 to 6 months. This helps keep the skin rejuvenated and prolongs the initial results obtained from the treatment.

Risks and Side Effects of Mesotherapy

While mesotherapy is generally considered safe and involves natural components that are biocompatible with the skin, there are some potential risks and side effects to be aware of:

Mild Redness: 

Occasional mild redness at the injection sites is common and typically resolves within a few hours.

Bruising: 

Approximately 1% of patients may experience bruising, which can last up to three days.

Allergic Reactions: 

Allergic reactions to the substances used in mesotherapy are very rare, but they can occur in sensitive individuals.

Infection: 

As with any injection procedure, there's a minimal risk of infection at the injection sites, although this is uncommon when following proper hygiene protocols.

Uneven Results: 

In some cases, results may vary, leading to uneven skin texture if not performed skillfully.

Conclusion

Overall, mesotherapy is considered a low-risk procedure with minimal side effects for the majority of patients. However, it's essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to discuss any concerns you may have and to ensure that the treatment is appropriate for your individual skin type and goals. Regular follow-up treatments can help maintain the benefits, allowing you to enjoy rejuvenated, healthy skin for an extended period.
