While mesotherapy is nonsurgical and not painful, it can be slightly uncomfortable. Therefore, you may have anesthetic cream applied to your skin to numb the affected area.
Using a special short needle, you will get a series of injections. The injections can be carried out on the face, neck, scalp, chest, hands, and other areas of the body that may have problems you wish to address. There is not a standard formula for the substances injected. The practitioner may use a combination of different substances, including vitamins and minerals, enzymes (such as hyaluronidase and collagenase), herbal extracts, hormones (such as thyroxin and calcitonin), as well as prescription medicines (such as antibiotics and vasodilators). The substances used depends on what you want to treat. For instance, the treatment for cellulite and body fat reduction may use lecithin and isoproterenol.
Each injection can be given at different depths into your skin, ranging between 1 and 4 millimeters, depending on the condition you want to treat. The practitioner may flick their wrist at a rapid pace while injecting, or place the needle into your skin at an angle.
