The Procedure

After your consultation, we’ll begin the mesotherapy customizing menu. Here’s what to expect during your first mesotherapy session in the treatment room:

Step-by-step Breakdown: The skin is gently cleaned. Here, it is disinfected to avoid infection.
Numbing cream (optional): A topical anesthetic may be applied if you have a low pain threshold.
Microinjections: Using a fine needle or a mesotherapy gun, our provider administers a series of small injections into the targeted area. These shallow injections deliver the solution directly into the mesoderm.
Massage and soothing serum: After the treatment, we often apply a soothing serum and gently massage the area to enhance absorption and reduce discomfort.

The session typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
