There are many ways your physicians can limit any pain you may feel
during the procedure. If you do not tolerate injections well, discuss
this prior to mesotherapy treatments with your physician. They can
offer many ways to minimalize any discomfort including the use of anesthetic
creams (numbing creams) or other pain-relief aids. Usually these have
the effect of making the treatment virtually pain free.
Even without anesthetic creams and numbing agents, mesotherapy injections
are usually do not cause excessive discomfort. The needles used in
the treatment are ultra small, thin needles because the mesotherapy
solutions need only penetrate into the mesoderm layer of skin. (Just
below the skin surface. This is why Mesotherapy injections are sometimes
called "Micro Injections")
Most clinicians pinch the skin as the injection is given to further
reduce any discomfort.
An experienced clinician will be able to perform the injections very
quickly, this too will help minimalize and discomfort.
Any concerns you have about the injections should be discussed with
a physician.
