Mesotherapy - Quick Recovery Time
Because mesotherapy is a non-surgical treatment that requires no incisions and no sutures, there is very little aftercare required. Most patients will want to go home and rest after their treatment.
How long do I have to take off work?
Many will be able to go to work the next day, but others will need a day or two to rest afterwards. When a patient goes back to work will depend entirely on how he or she feels post-treatment.
Typically the area treated will be sore and tender for a day or two. This should not be an issue if it is an area that receives little contact, like your stomach.
However, if the area treated is your thighs or rear then it may be a few more days since sitting may be a bit uncomfortable.
Recovery Speeds Up after the First Treatment
For most people the first treatment will require the most recovery since the area of your body will have to adapt to being treated. However, the second or third treatment will have quicker recovery time, sometimes even as fast as one day.
After Treatment Expectations
For comfort, a patient will want to wear loose-fitting clothes near the area of treatment for a day or two post-treatment because there will be swelling and possible bruising. The area also may be tender to the touch for some time afterward. Patients should drink six eight-ounce glasses of water, sports drinks or even soup each day for the first two or three days after treatment to remain hydrated. Showers rather than baths are recommended. Patients should avoid saunas and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight for the first week or so after treatment. Patients should not expect to find, but, nonetheless should look for any signs of blistering, or unusual skin discoloration that might require follow-up by a nurse or physician.
