How is Mesotherapy Applied?
Mesotherapy is applied with sterile micro-needles. The formula of the ingredients used is prepared specifically for the individual according to the area to be treated. During the application, multiple micro-injections are made at certain depths of the skin. These injections trigger the skin’s natural healing process, allowing cells to renew faster. The application usually takes 15-30 minutes, and visible results are obtained after several sessions.
Before the treatment, the skin is cleaned, and if necessary, a local anesthetic cream is applied. This minimizes discomfort felt during the procedure. After the mesotherapy procedure, slight redness and swelling may be seen on the skin, but these effects usually disappear in a short time.

Will I Feel Pain or Discomfort?
Since it’s done with micro-needles, there may be a very slight stinging sensation. However, this discomfort is minimized thanks to local anesthetic creams used before treatment. After the procedure, slight redness and sensitivity may occur on the skin, but these are temporary and disappear in a short time. In summary, it can be said to be an extremely comfortable application.
What Should Be Considered After Mesotherapy?
There may be short-term redness, swelling, and bruising on the skin after the procedure. Skin contact with water should be avoided for the first 24 hours after treatment. It’s also important to avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreen in the days following the procedure. Skincare products and makeup applications can be started 24 hours after the procedure.
How Often Should Mesotherapy Be Applied?
Mesotherapy treatment is usually done with several sessions of applications. The treatment process varies depending on the person’s skin structure, the area being treated, and the desired result. Generally, 4-6 sessions performed at 4-6 week intervals are sufficient to obtain effective results. Afterwards, maintenance treatment 1-2 times a year may be recommended to maintain the results.
What Are the Side Effects of Mesotherapy?
While mesotherapy is generally a safe application, slight redness, swelling, and rarely bruising may be seen at injection sites. These effects usually disappear within a few days. When the treatment is done under sterile conditions, the risk of infection is very low. Mesotherapy is not recommended for pregnant women and nursing mothers. It should also be applied carefully in people with blood clotting problems.
