What Is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that can help with skin rejuvenation and tightening, restoring your skin’s youthful look. It can also help with hair growth. In this procedure, a customized dose of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, etc. is injected into the problem areas of the skin or scalp to give you smoother skin or healthier hair.
Who Can Benefit From Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy can be done on any healthy person above 18 years of age. You can use this treatment to treat an array of skin, hair, and cosmetological issues. Below are a few ways of how mesotherapy can help:
- Rejuvenate dull-looking skin
- Curb acne and acne scars
- Suppress swelling and reduce pigmentation around the eyes
- Eliminate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduce the appearance of scars, stains, and uneven skin tone
- Prevent skin sagging by enhancing skin elasticity

However, mesotherapy is not recommended for people who are pregnant or breastfeeding. People with blood disorders, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, a history of paralysis, or other chronic diseases must also closely consult with their doctors before they go for this procedure.
How Is Mesotherapy Done?
Before scheduling the procedure, your doctor will review the medicines (if any) you are currently taking and advise some adjustments if deemed necessary. On the day of the treatment, you simply walk into the clinic with a healthy body and fresh mind. The doctor will sanitize and numb the area where you are getting injections.
A custom-made cocktail of skin-friendly goodness is loaded into the mesotherapy syringe which is then injected into the problem areas. If you have different issues, the doctor may need to use different formulas to address them the best. It process is like a deep-skincare treatment wherein the ingredients are delivered right where they need to go to accelerate skin and hair health.
This treatment also gives the benefits of micro-needling by boosting blood circulation to the area and prompting collagen growth
Does Mesotherapy Hurt?
Mesotherapy is a non-invasive procedure. So, even though it is definitely not comfortable, the pain is very much manageable, especially with numbing creams. As you would expect, it feels like mild ‘pricking’ and, because each session only lasts for about 30 minutes, it is well-tolerated. Rest assured, there is no downtime and any pain or redness post-procedure can be managed with prescribed creams and medications.
How Effective Is Mesotherapy?
By and large, mesotherapy is considered an effective form of treatment. You will notice a glow immediately, but the final result can only be seen after 3 months. There are several factors that can influence the results. For example, the concoction is made to address the root cause of your skin or hair concern. If there is any discrepancy there, the results might not look as hoped. Plus, post-treatment care and future management are also crucial. The results also vary depending on how your skin reacts to the elements in the injection. However, the good part is that the treatment can be tailored before every session depending on how you progress toward your desired skin and hair goals.
