Mesotherapy

What is mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is a method rather than a single product or procedure. Suitable ingredients are delivered in small amounts to selected skin layers using fine needles.

• Individual product selectionProducts may contain vitamins, minerals, amino acids or hyaluronic acid. Not every product is injectable; composition and intended use must be known.
• Targeted regional deliveryThe aim is local delivery. Product, technique and individual characteristics all influence the outcome.

Applications associated with mesotherapy

Procedures marketed under different names may use similar injection techniques. Their contents and treatment plans differ.

• Skin boostersSelected hyaluronic-acid, vitamin or amino-acid products are considered for hydration and skin-quality goals. “Skin booster” is not a single standard formulation.
• PRPPlatelet-rich plasma prepared from the person’s blood may be injected into skin or scalp in suitable patients.
• Scalp mesotherapyScalp products may be considered after diagnosing hair loss. They do not automatically replace established treatments.
• Pigmentation and acne scarsOptions may address skin tone or scar appearance; evidence and outcomes vary by product and method.
• Local contouring and celluliteSelected injections are considered for these goals. Not every mixture is suitable, and this is not a weight-loss treatment.
• Medical mesotherapyIt may be considered for selected musculoskeletal pain, tendinitis or sports injuries within diagnosis-based standard care.

A brief history

French physician Dr Michel Pistor played a central role in developing mesotherapy.

• 1952Pistor’s local procaine work helped establish the method.
• 1958Pistor introduced the term “mesotherapy”.
• 1964The French Society of Mesotherapy was founded.
• 1987The French National Academy of Medicine recognised its place in medical practice. This did not establish effectiveness for every product or aesthetic use.

What concerns may be assessed?

The following concerns may prompt assessment. Listing a concern does not establish effectiveness or suitability of every mesotherapy mixture.

• SkinDryness, dullness, fine lines, pigmentation or melasma, acne scars, stretch marks and under-eye concerns. Diagnosis and alternatives are reviewed.
• HairCauses of androgenetic hair loss or telogen effluvium are assessed first, including deficiencies and established treatments.
• BodyProduct- and method-specific options may be discussed for cellulite, local fat or laxity.
• MedicalMusculoskeletal pain, tendinitis and sports injuries. Standard disease-specific care takes priority in lymphoedema or venous insufficiency.

An important note on local contouring

Mesotherapy and injection lipolysis do not replace overall weight-management care. Risks depend on the substance; liver disease requires specific assessment and may make treatment unsuitable.

• Known compositionNot every mixture or product marketed as fat-dissolving is safe or appropriate.
• Individual goalLocal appearance goals and obesity management require different plans.

Possible adverse effects and follow-up

Needle- and product-related risks are discussed before consent.

• Early effectsTemporary redness, tenderness, swelling and bruising can occur.
• Symptoms requiring assessmentAllergy, infection, persistent nodules or rarely tissue injury can occur. Seek review for increasing pain, warmth, discharge or marked colour change.
• AftercareFollow clinic advice about irritating products and further procedures in the area.
