After Treatment Care for Mesotherapy
1. Immediate Post-Treatment Care
- Avoid Touching the Treated Area: Refrain from touching, massaging, or applying pressure to the treated area for at least 24 hours.
- Avoid Heat Exposure: Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours to minimize swelling and irritation.
- Cold Compresses: You may apply a cold compress or ice pack (wrapped in a clean cloth) to the treated area for 10-15 minutes to help reduce swelling or bruising.
2. Activity Restrictions
- Avoid Strenuous Physical Activity: Avoid intense physical activity, exercise, and sweating for at least 24-48 hours after the treatment to prevent irritation and swelling.
- Sun Exposure: Minimize direct sun exposure for at least 1 week after treatment. Always apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) when going outdoors.
3. Skincare Routine
- Avoid Makeup and Skincare Products: Do not apply makeup or active skincare products (e.g., retinoids, exfoliants) to the treated areas for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
- Gentle Cleansing: After 24 hours, cleanse the treated area with a mild, non-irritating cleanser. Avoid scrubbing or using hot water on the area.
- Moisturize: Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to soothe and hydrate the treated area.
4. Follow-up Care
- Treatment Results: Results from mesotherapy treatments may take a few days to become noticeable as the skin regenerates and heals. Improvement in skin texture, hydration, and elasticity will develop gradually.
- Multiple Sessions: Depending on your treatment goals, multiple mesotherapy sessions may be required. Consult your doctor to determine the appropriate treatment plan.
5. Potential Side Effects
- Mild Redness or Swelling: Some redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites is normal and should resolve within a few days.
- Tenderness: The treated area may feel tender for a few days after the procedure. This is normal and should subside with time.
6. When to Contact the Clinic
- Signs of Infection: If you notice excessive redness, warmth, or pus at the injection sites, contact your doctor immediately as these may be signs of infection.
- Prolonged or Severe Side Effects: If you experience prolonged swelling, redness, or discomfort, notify the clinic for further evaluation.
