The first effect of mesotherapy can sometimes be seen after just 1 treatment. The skin becomes brighter. Wrinkles are gently smoothed out. Skin hydration improves in cases of severe dryness, e.g. due to excessive sun exposure. The face begins to take on a fresh appearance. Specialists recommend a series of 3-4 mesotherapy treatments for maximum effect.

The needle mesotherapy treatment does not require any special preparations. However, you must remember not to take antibiotics or anticoagulants or anti-inflammatory drugs a few days beforehand. It is also a good idea to refrain from using scrubs or rough sponges so as not to irritate your face. The day before and on the day of your treatment, do not consume alcohol. If you are susceptible to herpes consider taking a prophylactic antiviral medication such as acyclovir before your treatment.

The sensations during a needle mesotherapy treatment depend on the individual patient. The treatment involves puncturing the skin, so discomfort may be felt. To minimise discomfort and pain sensations, the skin for the treatment may be additionally anaesthetised with an anaesthetic cream.

The main contraindications to mesotherapy treatment are:

-pregnancy and breastfeeding
-cancerous or autoimmune diseases
-viral, bacterial or fungal diseases
-diabetes
-cutaneous infections
-active herpes
-use of anticoagulants or anti-inflammatory drugs
-allergy to the preparations used for mesotherapy treatment
-susceptibility to scarring

A natural reaction after a needle mesotherapy treatment is swelling and redness of the skin. This should not be feared. Such a condition should resolve spontaneously within 2-3 days. However, the skin immediately after the injection requires special care. Make-up should not be applied for about 24 hours after the treatment. Special attention should be paid to hygiene. To minimise the risk of infection, specialists sometimes recommend replacing towels and bedding with fresh ones. Physical exercise should be avoided immediately after the treatment. You should also not consume alcohol or expose your face to high or low temperatures. The use of abrasive and irritating products on the face, such as scrubs, is not recommended for several days after the treatment.
