Some complications when treated with mesotherapy

Complications after mesotherapy injection

Mesotherapy injections are a minimally invasive cosmetic skin treatment, very safe and with few complications. However, the following complications may occur:

Swelling and bruising: Rare but usually very mild. This symptom may last for a few days. Applying cold compresses after the injection for the first few days after the injection can quickly reduce this symptom.
Infection: The wound is red and inflamed, oozing or pus.

Treatment: If the above signs appear, the patient needs to be re-examined and antibiotics must be used for treatment. Infections are common when injecting Mesotherapy in environments that are not sterile.

How to take care after mesotherapy?

When experiencing signs of swelling and mild bruising after injection in the first few days, you can apply cold compresses for 10-15 minutes each time, every 2-3 hours in the first few days after injection to help quickly reduce swelling and bruising.

Don’t over-hype Mesotherapy

Recently, the “hyped” advertisements about Meso injections as a “miracle drug” have appeared almost continuously on forums and social networks. Mesotherapy is really good, but please look at it from a more scientific and objective perspective!

For example, the advertisement “Mesotherapy removes wrinkles, shrinks pores,… after only 1 injection”.

The truth: the skin will have a smooth, shiny effect after the first injection. However, that is only a temporary effect of pushing a large amount of active ingredients into the skin at the same time, making it hydrated, so the skin surface feels smooth and shiny, after only 1-2 days the skin will return to its original state.

To improve skin problems such as wrinkles, melasma, large pores, etc., you need to follow a course of 6-8 sessions in the beginning. Then maintain injections every 3 months to achieve the highest efficiency.

Is Mesotherapy injection an invasive cosmetic method that damages the skin?

Truth: Meso is a non-invasive rejuvenation method, without using a scalpel to affect tissue, bones, muscles… but only injecting a small amount of essence under the dermis layer of the skin, to regenerate and increase collagen. Therefore, Meso injection not only does not cause damage to the skin but also acts as a tonic, nourishing the skin to be healthier and more elastic.

Is it true or false that all skin types can receive Mesotherapy injections?

This can be said to be true or it can also be said to be false. Reason: Injecting meso into the skin will shorten the process and progress of skin treatment as soon as possible and quickly if the right active ingredient is chosen to be injected into the skin that is suitable for the problem the skin is facing.

However, in many cases when the skin has problems, the most appropriate preliminary treatment at that time is not meso injection but simply applying or peeling… Therefore, meso is not always the first choice and priority.

Conclusion

It can be seen that Mesotherapy injection is a truly useful and miraculous invention in skin care and scientific skin treatment, but that is only true when we ignore the exaggerated advertisements and have a correct view of the working mechanism of Mesotherapy injection.
