Risks of DIY Needle Mesotherapy with Self-Mixed Creams

Hello, thank you for your question. The advice from the staff is correct.

Mixing your own skincare creams and then using a medical device like a needle-type mesotherapy machine to push substances into your skin by yourself is strongly not recommended and carries very high risks.

Reasons why you should not do this yourself include:

1. High Risk of Infection: Using needle devices that penetrate the skin must be done in a strictly clean and sterile environment. If done at home, it can lead to bacterial or other microbial infections entering the skin, resulting in inflammation, severe infection, or even permanent scarring.
2. Inappropriate and Unsafe Ingredients: Mixing skincare creams yourself without pharmaceutical or chemical knowledge can result in unstable mixtures, inappropriate pH levels, or substances that may cause irritation, allergic reactions, or be harmful to the skin when pushed into deeper layers.
3. Incorrect Technique: Using a mesotherapy machine requires expertise in controlling the depth and timing of needle insertion. If done incorrectly, it can cause damage to the skin, blood vessels, or nerves, as well as pushing substances into the wrong skin layers, leading to ineffective results and potential adverse effects such as bruising, swelling, or scarring.
4. Anesthetics Used May Have Side Effects: Using topical anesthetics by yourself without medical supervision can cause allergic reactions or other side effects.
5. Substances Used Must Be Suitable for Mesotherapy: Substances used in medical mesotherapy must be of a grade specifically for injection or penetration into the skin, which is different from the ingredients in general skincare creams.

Mesotherapy or pushing substances into the skin using various devices is a medical procedure that must only be performed by a qualified doctor. This is necessary to assess skin condition, select appropriate substances, use the correct technique, and safely manage any potential side effects.

Therefore, for the best safety and results, you should only consult and receive services from a standard clinic or medical facility under the supervision of a qualified doctor.
