Before Treatment Preparation Guide for Mesotherapy

1. Overview of the Procedure

Mesotherapy: Mesotherapy is a non-invasive procedure that involves injecting a customized cocktail of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and other substances into the skin to rejuvenate it, improve its tone, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and cellulite. It can also be used to treat hair loss and improve skin hydration.

2. Pre-treatment Instructions

• Medications and Supplements: Avoid blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and NSAIDs at least 7 days before the treatment to minimize the risk of bruising and swelling.
  Discontinue supplements like Vitamin E, fish oil, and Omega-3 fatty acids, which can also increase the risk of bruising.
  Consult with your doctor before stopping any prescribed medications, particularly if you are taking blood thinners or anticoagulants.
• Alcohol and Smoking: Avoid alcohol consumption for at least 3 days before the procedure, as alcohol can increase the risk of bruising.
  Avoid smoking for at least 2 weeks prior to the treatment, as smoking can slow down healing and negatively impact the effectiveness of the procedure.
• Skincare Products: Discontinue the use of retinoids, exfoliants, and other harsh skincare products for at least 5-7 days before your treatment to avoid irritation in the treatment area.
• Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 1 week before the procedure, as sunburn or irritated skin can interfere with the treatment.

3. Day of the Treatment

• Clean Skin: Arrive with clean skin free of makeup, lotions, or any other skincare products.
• Comfortable Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing, especially if the treatment area is the body (e.g., thighs, abdomen).
• Hydration: Ensure you are well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water on the day of your procedure to optimize results.

4. Patient Responsibilities

• Consult with Your Doctor: Inform your doctor about any medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are taking to ensure Mesotherapy is suitable for you.
• Medical History: Provide your medical history, particularly if you have any skin conditions, allergies, or a history of allergic reactions to injectable treatments.

5. FAQs about Preparing for Mesotherapy

• Can I wear makeup or lotion to the appointment? No, please ensure the treatment area is clean and free of makeup or skincare products.
• Is there downtime after the treatment? Some patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, but these symptoms typically subside within a few days. Most patients can resume normal activities after 24 hours.
• Can I exercise after the treatment? Avoid strenuous activities and exercise for at least 24-48 hours post-treatment to reduce swelling and bruising.
