Mesotherapy for stretch marks: before and after

Stretch marks are a type of scar-like change in the skin that can look different as they mature. Mesotherapy uses a series of small injections, but the formula and intended effect differ between clinics. A photograph taken soon after treatment may show irritation rather than the final appearance. Compare images only when the body position, lighting, distance, and skin condition are similar.

Treatment may improve how noticeable an area looks without erasing the marks. Colour and texture can respond differently, and response varies with the age, depth, and location of the marks. A consultation can clarify whether another approach is more suitable.

Tell the clinician whether the marks appeared during pregnancy, growth, or a change in body size, and mention active eczema, infection, allergies, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or medicines that affect bleeding. Ask for the exact ingredients and a realistic review point. After treatment, keep the area clean, avoid scratching and friction, and follow the clinic's instructions about exercise, heat, sun, and topical products.

Possible alternatives include Carboxytherapy, Microneedling, Fractional Laser Treatment, or RF Microneedling. Their suitability depends on skin type, mark characteristics, medical history, and the clinician's assessment.

Report increasing pain, spreading redness, significant warmth, pus, fever, blistering, or a wound that is not settling. Get urgent help for breathing trouble, widespread hives, sudden facial swelling, or faintness after treatment.

Ask whether the goal is colour, texture, or both; what product and technique will be used; how photographs will be timed; and which alternative has the best fit for your skin.
