Preparing for a skinbooster or mesotherapy session
These treatments work on skin quality, not volume, and are planned as a course. What that changes about preparation and scheduling.
Skinboosters and mesotherapy
Not every request about the lips calls for filling. When the lip is dry, lined and uncomfortable but of satisfactory volume, a skinbooster works on hydration without changing the shape. It is often the right answer to a poorly framed request.
Examination, discussion of your request, screening for contraindications and a written plan. No procedure is carried out on the day of the first consultation: the time to think it over is yours.
After make-up removal and surface anaesthesia, the active is distributed in closely spaced points across the whole area. We are not filling a hollow: we are treating a surface.
Small papules and redness are normal and fade within hours to two days. These treatments are designed as a course: the number of sessions and their spacing are set in consultation, not in advance.
A numbing cream is applied beforehand and most products contain a local anaesthetic. The sensation is most often described as pressure, sometimes a brief sting.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, an active skin infection, some autoimmune conditions and certain medications are among them. They are checked in consultation, not ticked on a form — and they can lead to a refusal.
No result can be guaranteed: it depends on your skin, your age, your lifestyle and the indication retained. What can be stated is what the procedure aims at and what it does not do. The rest is discussed in consultation, in front of your face rather than a photograph.
Getting ready

The same approach in a smaller quantity: for a first time or simple upkeep.
The initial consultation examines, explains and proposes a written plan. It commits you to nothing.
