2024-07-26

Some people say that

"One Mesotherapy injection is equivalent to applying 1,000 masks"

Is it really so magical?

But there are also negative news that "the face is swollen like a pig's head after the injection"

What is the exciting and scary "Mesotherapy injection"?

What is Mesotherapy gun?

The Mesotherapy gun is composed of an electronic syringe, an injection needle and sodium hyaluronate for injection (commonly known as hyaluronic acid), all of which are medical devices, of which the injection needle and sodium hyaluronate for injection are Class III medical devices. The main principle is an injection-based skin care project, which uses instrument negative pressure technology or manual injection by a doctor to inject medical skin-beautifying nutrients into the dermis.

Is the Mesotherapy Gun permanent?


The ingredients injected by the Mesotherapy Gun will be gradually decomposed and metabolized in the body, so the effect is limited. The duration of the effect is closely related to the individual's skin problems, the number of injections, and lifestyle habits.


Everyone has different skin types. It is recommended that the doctor should formulate an individualized injection plan according to the course of treatment based on the skin differences.

Will long-term use of mesotherapy have any effect on the skin?


Mesotherapy gun injects nutrients and drugs into the dermis of the skin. Through physical stimulation and active ingredients of drugs, it can stimulate collagen proliferation and promote skin barrier regeneration, which is beneficial to the skin.

What problems may occur after using Mesotherapy gun

Mesotherapy guns are currently widely used in the field of medical beauty. As long as they are operated properly, they are relatively safe.

But this does not mean that there is no risk at all

Skin allergies caused by ingredients in topical anesthetics and aqueous injections (manifested as skin redness, desquamation, itching, etc.) Avoid external stimuli such as hot water, stop strenuous exercise such as fitness, eat a light diet, moisturize the skin, and give anti-allergic drugs for treatment;
Acupuncture reactions (manifested as ecchymosis, small blood scabs, subcutaneous papules, etc.) Do a good job of hydrating and moisturizing the skin, and it will naturally disappear in 1-3 days;
Skin infections (manifested as pustules, herpes, painful papules, etc.) Give topical anti-infective drugs, and oral drugs can be used in combination for severe cases;
Skin granulomas (manifested as skin nodules, etc.) Give timely and sufficient glucocorticoid drugs for treatment.

The most common adverse reactions after mesotherapy are mild and short-lived, such as bruising, edema and erythema, and the recovery period usually does not exceed 24-48 hours.


What caused the public panic was actually a type of reaction that rarely occurs: delayed hypersensitivity reaction/foreign body granulomatous reaction. In layman's terms, nothing happened at the time of the injection, but afterwards the skin "reacted". The body regarded the injected hyaluronic acid needle as a foreign body and attacked it. Various cells took turns to attack, and finally formed nodular inflammatory lesions locally.

Erythematous nodules after injection

The probability of such reactions occurring during regular treatment is actually very low (0.02%)

What should you pay attention to after mesotherapy treatment?

① Do not touch water or put on makeup for 24 hours after surgery;

② Avoid using overheated water to clean the face after surgery, avoid rubbing the face vigorously, and strictly prevent sunburn;

③ Pay attention to moisturizing and hydration. Apply medical repair dressings 1-2 times a day for one week after surgery;

④ Avoid sauna or strenuous exercise within one week;

⑤ No smoking or drinking within one week, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, strong tea, and high-caffeine drinks。
