Which specialist performs mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy uses a series of small injections into selected skin areas. The injected product may differ according to the intended use, such as a cosmetic skin concern or a scalp concern. Because the product, depth, dose and injection pattern all matter, the clinician should explain exactly what is being used and why.

A doctor trained in aesthetic medicine can review your skin, medicines, allergies, pregnancy status and history of abnormal scarring before deciding whether treatment is appropriate. A consultation should include realistic expectations, common reactions such as temporary redness or swelling, and a plan if the skin reacts unexpectedly.

Choose a licensed medical practitioner who performs mesotherapy within their training and local scope of practice. Ask to see the product packaging, expiry information and batch details, and ask how sterile needles and opened products are handled. Tell the clinician about blood-thinning medicines, supplements, skin infections, allergies and previous reactions to injections.

Do not proceed if you cannot obtain a clear explanation of the target, product, technique, aftercare and follow-up. Arrange time for early redness or swelling, and follow instructions about cleansing, exercise, heat and cosmetics after treatment.

Contact the clinic for increasing pain, spreading redness, warmth, pus, fever, marked swelling, blistering or skin colour changes after injections. Seek urgent help for facial swelling with trouble breathing, fainting or rapidly worsening symptoms.

Ask: What product will you inject and what is its intended purpose? What training do you have for this technique? What reactions are expected? Which medicines should I mention? What aftercare is required, and who will assess me if a problem develops?
