Why Are Substances Used in Mesotherapy Evaluated Separately?
Mesotherapy is a method that has evolved in various ways for centuries and is used today in the supportive processes of various health conditions. By general definition, mesotherapy application aims to improve tissue and organ pathologies of mesodermal origin, involving the administration of active substances regionally, in small doses, through special needles and techniques in sessions to the layers of the skin. This definition shows that mesotherapy is not a standard drug treatment, but rather an approach tailored to the patient's requirements and targeting specific regions.

What is Mesotherapy and How Does Its Mechanism of Action Work?
To understand why the substances used in mesotherapy are evaluated separately for each patient and condition, it is important to grasp the biological infrastructure of the method. In addition to being our body's primary shield against the outside world, the skin and connective tissue possess a complex communication network. The layers of connective tissue are considered organically and functionally as three units: the microcirculation unit, the nerve-sensory unit, and the immunological unit.
The entry of the mesotherapy needle into the skin creates a reflex stimulus effect in these areas. During the application, drug mixtures prepared for the pathology penetrate the dermis layer, ensuring that special corrective mechanisms are activated in the functional units. This explains why active substances must be selected specifically for the individual and the pathology, given that the source of the problem experienced by each patient differs.
Local Effect and Systemic Safety
The pharmacological approach of mesotherapy differs from orally or intravenously administered drugs. Because the products used in mesotherapy are applied directly to the relevant area, their participation in systemic circulation is negligibly small; therefore, it is safe in terms of drug interactions and side effects.
In the area where the injection is made, the substances do not immediately spread throughout the entire body. Thanks to the reservoir created in the dermis, the active substances are released in a controlled and slow manner, exerting their effect through local diffusion. This reservoir structure in the lower layers of the skin constitutes the basic dynamic of the application by ensuring that the selected drugs slowly reach the target tissues. The therapeutic effect can also be achieved in neighboring regions via dermatomes (skin areas stimulated by specific nerve roots).
Customized Mesotherapy Contents and the Anamnesis Process
There is no "one-size-fits-all" approach in preparing mesotherapy mixtures. Each individual's anatomical structure, tissue characteristics, accompanying diseases, and other medical products they use differ from one another. Therefore, the patient's medical history is evaluated with extreme meticulousness prior to the mesotherapy application.
Before the application, it is necessary to evaluate the patient's allergy status, medications used, and existing diseases with a detailed anamnesis form. For example, it is examined whether the patient has respiratory, digestive, neurological, endocrinological (diabetes, thyroid, etc.) or cardiovascular (hypertension, valve diseases, etc.) diseases. At the same time, the condition of individuals with hematological disorders or those using antiplatelet/anticoagulant (blood-thinning) drugs plays a critical role in determining mesotherapy contents and techniques. All of these parameters are the clearest indicators of why mesotherapy substances are evaluated separately and carefully for each patient.
Considerations and Risks in the Use of Mesotherapy Substances
As with any medical and supportive application, certain reactions may develop after the administration of active substances used in mesotherapy to the body. Not only the content of the drug mixtures, but also the manner in which the application is performed and the patient's post-treatment compliance are of great importance.
Although mesotherapy application is generally reported to be a safe treatment method, while local complaints such as mild itching and redness are often observed post-application, bleeding, pain, edema, or infection may rarely occur. Since the risks of bleeding and bruising (ecchymosis) vary depending on the patient's current circulatory status and the medications they use (especially blood thinners), the personal analysis of active substances and the application technique serves a protective function at this point. In addition, physiological processes such as suspected pregnancy or menstrual status in female patients can affect the suitability of the substances to be applied and must therefore be reported to the administering physician.
It is recommended that individuals take a shower, wear comfortable clothes, and avoid applying cream, moisturizer, or makeup to the treatment area before the application session. All these precautions help ensure that the outer layer of the skin remains clean, facilitating the healthy delivery of specially selected mesotherapy active substances to the dermis layer.
In conclusion, it is not possible to speak of a standard drug mixture in mesotherapy procedures. The prepared contents must be formulated separately for each individual based on the patient's expectations, existing tissue pathology, past health history, and the reflex responses of the connective tissue.
