Mesotherapy & Skin Boosters
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves injecting small amounts of various substances into the skin to treat a variety of conditions such as cellulite, wrinkles, sagging skin, and localized fat deposits. These injections typically consist of a mixture of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and medications, depending on the specific goals of the treatment.
​
The idea behind mesotherapy is to deliver these substances directly into the middle layer of the skin (mesoderm) where they can have a more targeted effect. It is believed that this approach can stimulate collagen production, improve circulation, and break down fat cells, leading to improved skin tone, texture, and appearance.
​
Mesotherapy is often used for facial rejuvenation, body contouring, and treating certain medical conditions such as alopecia (hair loss) and musculoskeletal pain. The procedure is performed by trained Aestheticians or dermatologists and may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired results.
​
While mesotherapy is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified practitioner, it can carry some risks and side effects, including pain, swelling, bruising, infection, and allergic reactions. As with any cosmetic procedure, it's essential to discuss the potential benefits and risks with your practitioner or healthcare provider before undergoing treatment.
Aftercare
After undergoing mesotherapy, it's essential to follow aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential side effects. Here are some general guidelines for mesotherapy aftercare:
-
Avoid touching the treated area: Try to minimize touching or rubbing the treated area to prevent irritation or infection.
-
Apply cold compresses: If you experience swelling or discomfort after mesotherapy, you can apply cold compresses to the area to reduce inflammation and soothe the skin. Use a clean cloth or ice pack wrapped in a towel and apply it to the treated area for short intervals.
-
Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins from your body and keep your skin hydrated. Proper hydration can also aid in the healing process.
-
Avoid sun exposure: Protect the treated area from direct sunlight and tanning beds for at least a few days following mesotherapy. Sun exposure can increase the risk of hyperpigmentation and other skin damage. If you need to go outside, wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and protective clothing.
-
Avoid strenuous activities: Refrain from engaging in strenuous exercise or activities that may cause excessive sweating for a few days after mesotherapy. Sweating can increase the risk of infection and interfere with the healing process.
-
Follow skincare recommendations: Your practitioner may recommend specific skincare products or routines to help maintain the results of mesotherapy. Follow their advice regarding cleansing, moisturizing, and protecting your skin.
-
Attend follow-up appointments: Schedule and attend any recommended follow-up appointments with your practitioner. They can assess your progress, address any concerns, and recommend additional treatments if necessary.
-
Monitor for signs of complications: Keep an eye on the treated area for any signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, pain, or drainage. If you experience any unusual or concerning symptoms, contact your practitioner or healthcare provider promptly.
By following these aftercare instructions, you can help ensure a smooth recovery and achieve the best possible results from mesotherapy.
