Mesotherapy supports skin quality, but what you do between sessions and afterwards has a real bearing on the result. Sensible homecare protects the treatment and helps it last.
The guidance below is general. Your practitioner will give you personalised aftercare suited to your skin at your appointment.
The first day or two
It is common to have small marks or mild redness at the injection points immediately after mesotherapy, which usually settle quickly. Keep the skin clean and gentle, avoid heavy make-up over fresh injection points for the rest of the day, and follow the specific advice your practitioner gives you.
What to avoid briefly
For a short period after treatment it is sensible to avoid vigorous exercise, very hot environments such as saunas, and active or exfoliating skincare ingredients, so the skin is not unnecessarily irritated. Your practitioner will tell you how long to wait.
Daily homecare and SPF
Consistent hydration and a gentle, well-chosen routine help maintain the benefit of mesotherapy. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is an essential part of homecare, not optional advice, because unprotected sun exposure undermines skin-quality treatment and accelerates the changes you are trying to address.
Homecare is part of the programme
At Regener8, homecare is matched to your skin at assessment and reviewed over time as part of the Skin Regeneration Programme. Treatment and homecare work together.
Frequently Asked Questions
When can I wear make-up after mesotherapy?
Most people can return to make-up the day after treatment, once injection points have settled, though your practitioner will give you specific timing based on your skin and the treatment.
Do I really need SPF?
Yes. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is treated as an essential part of homecare because sun exposure is the largest controllable cause of skin ageing and undermines skin-quality treatment.
