What should you know about mesotherapy after care?

Mesotherapy places small injections into the skin, so tenderness, small bumps, bruising, tightness, or mild swelling may follow. The exact reaction depends on the injected product, treatment area, injection technique, and your own healing pattern. Your clinician should explain the product used and the expected recovery before you leave. Do not assume that a treatment marketed for hydration has the same aftercare as every injectable procedure.

Wash your hands before touching the area, then follow the clinic’s cleansing and moisturising instructions. Avoid rubbing, scratching, heavy exercise, heat exposure, tanning, and unapproved cosmetics while the skin is irritated. Do not apply antiseptics, steroid creams, antibiotics, or numbing products unless a clinician has advised them. Keep the treatment record and product name available if you need help. If you are considering Skin Boosters, discuss whether the product and aftercare differ from your current plan.

Call the clinic promptly if pain, redness, warmth, or swelling is increasing, or if you notice pus, drainage, skin breakdown, or fever. Urgent assessment is needed for rapidly spreading swelling, severe pain, fainting, or breathing difficulty. Contact the injector about changes in skin colour, unusual blistering, or vision symptoms after injections rather than waiting for a routine appointment.

Ask what was injected, when you may wash the area, which products and activities to avoid, and the expected pattern of swelling or bruising. Confirm the clinic’s out-of-hours number and whether any regular medicines or supplements need special instructions.
