Mesotherapy has recently increased in popularity as a quick solution to bags under the eyes, wrinkles and tough fat. Doctors inject a mix of vitamins, enzymes and hormones directly into the skin. Doctors are pointing out that this surgery can cause permanent life-changing effects, including blindness and scarring.<\/p>\n
To make it sound more appealing than Botox and similar procedures, the technique, used for the first time in 1952, has been given a new name. Authors argue that doing mesotherapy at home or by those who lack training can pose certain risks.<\/p>\n
The development of pitted and lumpy \u201creptile-like\u201d skin is considered one of the greatest risks from mesotherapy. It often happens if the steroid is not well-mixed or if the ingredients cause irritation in the area.<\/p>\n
Because formulas in mesotherapy are not regulated, it\u2019s possible for patients to receive fakes or untested items. Prescriptions, along with drugs known to be unsafe, may be part of what each physician writes.
\nMesotherapy can be very dangerous for sensitive skin near the eyes. A single mistake can result in lasting bruises, serious allergies, tissue death and even harm to a person\u2019s vision.<\/p>\n
