Mesotherapy - what are the risks?

Hi, I saw the 20/20 show, and now I'm concerned! I'm a 43 yr old African American female. I've had 3 treatments of the mesotherapy for my upper arms. I was told that the injections were filled with vitamins, and that after the treatments that I was to drink plenty of water to wash it out of my system. Is this procedure safe? The side effects that I've experienced are the swelling, soreness and the lumps on my arms. Should I stop these treatments?
Sincerely,
