Treatment Overview
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure where a customized blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, hyaluronic acid (HA), peptides, and growth factors is injected directly into the skin.
For stretch marks (striae), mesotherapy works by hydrating the dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, and reducing discoloration. In Korean dermatology, mesotherapy is often tailored with polynucleotides (PNs), exosomes, or PRP to maximize repair and skin regeneration.
Purpose & Benefits
- Collagen & Elastin Stimulation: Repairs and strengthens weakened dermis.
- Skin Texture Improvement: Smooths roughness and reduces the depth of stretch marks.
- Hydration Boost: HA restores plumpness to thin, stretched skin.
- Pigment Correction: Reduces redness in new marks and whitish discoloration in old ones.
- Regeneration Support: Provides essential nutrients to damaged skin.
- Synergy: Often combined with lasers, Dermapen, or PRP for stronger results.
Ideal Candidates
Mesotherapy in Korea for stretch marks is recommended for:
- Adults with mild to moderate stretch marks (new or old).
- Patients seeking hydration and regenerative therapy for striae.
- Those who want a gentle, injectable-based alternative to laser resurfacing.
Comparison with other treatments:
- Mesotherapy: Best for hydration + nutrient-based regeneration.
- Fractional CO₂ Laser: Best for deep dermal remodeling.
- Dermapen Microneedling: Best for collagen induction and serum absorption.
- PRP Therapy: Best for natural, blood-derived healing.
- Exosome Therapy: Best for advanced cellular repair.
Possible Risks & Complications
Mesotherapy is safe, but mild temporary effects may include:
- Redness or Pinpoint Bumps: Fade within 24–48 hours.
- Swelling or Bruising: Common with injections, temporary.
- Tenderness: Resolves in a few days.
- Rare Risks: Uneven absorption or irritation.
Surgical Techniques Used
- Micro-Injections: Deliver meso-cocktail directly into dermis with fine needles.
- Delivery Method: Manual syringe or meso-gun for even distribution.
- Custom Formulations: May include HA, PN, peptides, or exosomes.
- Combination Therapy: Often paired with Dermapen, PRP, or fractional lasers.
- Protocol: 3–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart for optimal results.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately: Redness, bumps, or mild swelling at injection sites.
- 1–3 Days: Skin calms, hydration and elasticity improve.
- 2–4 Weeks: Visible softening of stretch marks.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid makeup or harsh skincare for 24 hours.
- Use SPF 50+ daily to protect regenerating skin.
- Keep skin moisturized with HA or ceramide creams.
- Avoid alcohol, saunas, and strenuous activity for 1–2 days.
Results & Longevity
- Short-Term (2–4 Weeks): Skin feels smoother, hydrated, and firmer.
- Medium-Term (2–3 Months): Visible fading of stretch marks with better tone and elasticity.
- Long-Term: Results last 6–12 months; maintenance sessions extend benefits.
