What should you know about mesotherapy for cellulite?

Short answer
Mesotherapy for cellulite uses injections intended to alter the appearance of dimpled skin, with outcomes depending on the product and tissue involved.
This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.

What it means
Cellulite reflects the interaction of skin, fat, connective tissue, and body shape. Mesotherapy is a delivery method rather than a single proven formula, so ask what ingredient is proposed and how it is expected to affect your skin. It may not remove cellulite or prevent it from returning.
Treatment areas can be tender, red, swollen, bruised, or uneven for a while after injections. A clinician should distinguish cellulite from loose skin, a lump, infection, or another condition before treating the area. Your goals and the texture you want improved should be discussed openly.
Planning treatment
Tell the practitioner about allergies, circulation problems, skin disease, medicines or supplements that affect bleeding, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and previous injectable reactions. Request the product name, consent information, hygiene process, expected appointment plan, and instructions for managing a delayed reaction.
Afterward, keep the sites clean, avoid rubbing or self-massage unless directed, and follow advice on exercise, heat, swimming, and tight clothing. Take photographs only for your own comparison if the clinic recommends it; early swelling can make the surface look temporarily different. Skin Boosters are a separate option to ask about when hydration and texture are the focus.
When to seek care
Contact the clinic if pain, swelling, warmth, redness, or hardness is increasing, or if drainage, fever, or skin breakdown develops. Seek urgent care for breathing trouble, facial swelling, faintness, severe pain, or a rapidly spreading change in skin colour.
Questions for your doctor
Which part of cellulite are you targeting, and what product supports that plan? How will you tell cellulite from loose skin or another problem? What temporary changes should I expect? What is the response plan if a lump, infection, or allergic reaction appears?

Questions people ask
Does mesotherapy remove cellulite?
Do not assume removal; ask what degree of surface change is realistic for your skin and tissue.
Why can the area look worse at first?
Swelling and bruising after injections can temporarily change texture and colour while the sites settle.
