A popular non-surgical beauty procedure is being looked at more closely by doctors, who are warning that it could damage the skin permanently.
Mesotherapy can make the area where the injections are red, sore, and bruised, and it can also leave behind raised bumps under the skin that have been described as having a “reptilian” feel. There can also be more major problems, like infections that can damage tissues over time or even kill skin cells.
Dermatologists are warning people who are interested in Mesotherapy to think carefully about the risks. New York dermatologist Dr. Viktoryia Kazlouskaya warns of serious allergic reactions, long-lasting bruises, and damage to the eyes that can’t be fixed.
In Mesotherapy, unlike Botox, the professionals make their own unique solutions. This means that the substances used are not controlled or checked for safety in the same way. Because there aren’t many rules, people are worried that fake or unreliable goods could be used.
Mesotherapy is also not a method that works for everyone, according to experts. According to Dr. Tripathi, a plastic surgeon from California, treatment must be tailored to each person’s unique body and should not be done by someone who isn’t experienced.
If you want to get rid of dark circles and eye bags, experts say you should try different ways. A dermatologist in New York named Dr. Hannah Kopelman says to find the problem’s root cause and look into choices that have been shown to work and are safe.
Getting enough sleep, putting your head up at night, and putting cucumber slices on your eyes are all easy things that can help reduce puffiness under your eyes. Before getting any kind of cosmetic treatment, it’s important to carefully consider the risks and rewards.
