Mesotherapy

Before undergoing mesotherapy, it’s important to consult with a professional to discuss your skin concerns, medical history, and treatment goals to ensure mesotherapy is right for you. Refrain from taking blood-thinning medications like aspirin or ibuprofen for about a week prior, as these can increase the risk of bruising; always consult your healthcare provider before stopping any prescribed medications. Additionally, avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24-48 hours before the procedure, as these can contribute to dehydration and potentially affect your results. Staying well-hydrated and following any specific pre-treatment instructions provided by your practitioner will help ensure the best possible outcome.

After mesotherapy, avoid touching or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent irritation and infection. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water to aid the skin’s healing process. Protect your skin from sun exposure by wearing sunscreen and avoiding direct sunlight for a few days. It’s also best to avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, or hot baths for 48 hours, as these can increase swelling or bruising. Follow any additional aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner to ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery.

Mesotherapy can cause some discomfort, but the level of pain is generally mild. The sensation varies from person to person, depending on individual pain tolerance and the area being treated. The procedure involves multiple microinjections with very fine needles, which may feel like small pinpricks. To minimize discomfort, a numbing cream is often applied to the treatment area beforehand. While you might experience some mild stinging or a slight burning sensation during the procedure, these sensations typically subside quickly. Any post-treatment soreness is usually minimal and temporary.

The number of mesotherapy treatment sessions required initially depends on your specific skin concerns and goals. Generally, a series of 3 to 6 sessions is recommended to achieve optimal results. These sessions are typically spaced 1 to 4 weeks apart, depending on the condition being treated and how your skin responds. After the initial course of treatments, maintenance sessions may be recommended every few months to sustain the results. Your practitioner will assess your skin and provide a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.

After the initial series of mesotherapy treatments, which typically consists of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 1 to 4 weeks apart, maintenance treatments are recommended every 3 to 6 months to sustain the results. The exact frequency depends on your individual skin needs, the specific issues being treated, and how your skin responds to the treatment. Your practitioner will tailor a maintenance schedule that aligns with your goals and the longevity of the initial results. Regular consultations will help adjust the frequency as needed to keep your skin looking its best.

Results from mesotherapy can typically be seen within 1 to 3 weeks after your first treatment, though some improvements may become more noticeable after a few sessions. Initial changes, such as increased hydration and a more radiant complexion, can appear relatively quickly. More significant results, such as reduced fine lines or improved skin tone, generally become evident after a series of treatments. Full results may take several weeks to a few months to manifest as the skin continues to respond to the treatment and collagen production increases. Regular follow-ups with your practitioner will help assess progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
