How to Prepare for Mesotherapy
To avoid the risks associated with liposuction, many people today are instead choosing mesotherapy. This alternative medicine treatment involves injecting chemicals just under the skin to break down tissues in the mesoderm (or middle layer). The antioxidants in the injection stimulate collagen production, which rejuvenates the skin's appearance.
1
Prepare for the cost in time and dollars. It's typically recommended that a person undergo 10 to 15 mesotherapy sessions. Each session can cost up to $500. Make sure that the therapist overseeing the procedure is an accredited mesotherapist. You can find therapists online in the GetMeso directory (see Resources below).
2
Discuss the issues you want addressed. Mesotherapy has been used to eliminate cellulite and localized fat deposits, promote weight loss and provide anti-aging benefits.
3
Avoid taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications three days before the treatment. No post-operative recovery time is necessary, and you won't undergo anesthesia or need bandages.
4
Massage the affected area with Vitamin K after receiving treatment.
Tips & Warnings
Bruising is the biggest side effect of mesotherapy, so be prepared for this before undergoing the procedure.
