The technique uses very fine needles to deliver a series of injections into the middle layer (mesoderm) of skin.  The idea behind Mesotherapy is that it corrects underlying issues like poor circulation and inflammation that cause skin damage.

• Do not wash or take a shower for at least 8 hours after Mesotherapy treatment.  Do not take a hot bath for 48 hours after treatment.  After the 48 hour period, for the first week baths are allowed but are limited to 15 minutes (which will assist with any bruising that may have occurred).
• Immediately following the procedure, ice should be applied to the area and may be applied as needed to reduce swelling for the first 24-48 hours.  You will note some redness, stinging, and burning within 15 minutes to 2 hours after treatment, and later, swelling and bruising,  which peaks between 62-72 hours
• Avoid exercising for 48 hours after treatment.  Exercise will cause you to sweat and excrete the solution out the pores of the skin, which will decrease effectiveness of the treatment.  
• Avoid hot tubs, saunas, Jacuzzis, swimming pools, the ocean or open water (outdoor) and massages are not recommended for 48 hours after treatment.  
• Drink at least 2 litres of water the day of treatment and continue this intake of water for up to one week
• Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, sauna or heat for about two weeks after undergoing this procedure
• If necessary to go into the sun, use SPF 50 at all times
• Allergic reaction can occur in the form of small lumps at the injection site call your clinician.  Note: Most reactions remain localized in the area of the injection.
• Massage with Arnica gel or cream three to four times daily to help with swelling and bruising
• Make a follow up appointment for 4 weeks
