Mesotherapy - What can I use to help injection sites heal?

Mesotherapy injections should not lead to scarring if injected appropriately.

Like any injection site, post injection care is aimed at reducing any chance of infection. Keep the injected area clean and dry and notify your physician if you develop sores, painful bumps, excess redness, swelling, pus, etc. After the initial needle sites are healed (24 to 48 hours) apply gentle moisturizer to the treated area to keep skin soft. Check with your physician for suggestions on moisturizer.

People with darker skin can sometimes develop areas of dark pigmentation (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation) following injectioin of irritating solution. Your physician can prescribe a skin bleaching cream to reduce post inflammatory hyperpigmentation if that is a concern.

Another very important thing to know is, some places use Lipodissolve-like substances for mesotherapy when treating cellulite. Lipodissolve is meant to be injected into the fat deposits UNDER the skin and NOT into the skin. When injected into skin, Lipodissolve can breakdown skin cells and lead to poorly healing or non-healing skin ulcers. Ask your physician about this possibility.

I have switched to Dermawave "no needle Mesotherapy" for cellulite and for facial rejuvenation for my patients and have been very pleased with the results. You may want to look into this type of mesotherapy.

In the end, choose your caregiver carefully and after extensive research. Most people tend to pick a place for the cheapest rates or convenient location. Please research a procedure and choose a qualified physician with extensive experience.
