Dr. Pistor developed the technique of mesotherapy in France in 1952. In 1987, mesotherapy was recognized by the French Academy of Medicine as a medical specialty. Mesotherapy is the injection of different medications due to different purposes into the skin, cartilage, muscle and fat tissues, which originate from mesoderm layers in utero. Currently, mesotherapy has become a very popular technique for medical conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, asthma, depression, migraine and sports injuries and cosmetic purposes such as cellulites, face and neck rejuvenation, body sculpture and hair loss problems throughout the world. Various injectable materials are used for different purposes. While phytological and pharmacological agents are used to control inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis, connective tissue activators such as silica, biotin and proteolytic enzymes are used for ligament tears and tendon degenerations. In cellulites, in addition to vasodilators that improve blood flow, lymphatic flow activators and lipolytic agents are also used. The number of mesotherapy sessions differs according to the problem itself, the mechanism and the duration of the problem. For chronic conditions such as cellulites and wrinkles at least 15 sessions should be performed. In acute cases, such as sports injuries 1-3 sessions are generally adequate. In chronic conditions, the injections should be performed once a year or every six months.
