How long does it take to recover from mesotherapy-induced hyperpigmentation?
In general, it usually takes about 2 to 3 months to recover from post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation after mesotherapy, with the exact duration depending on the severity of the pigmentation. Specific details are as follows:
Post-treatment hyperpigmentation following mesotherapy is mostly caused by incomplete elimination of pigment from the body after the procedure, which is related to skin metabolism. If skin metabolism is relatively good, recovery typically occurs gradually within approximately 2 months. However, if skin metabolism is poor, the recovery period may be prolonged, generally requiring about 3 months for full resolution. It is recommended that patients enhance their daily skincare routine, avoid rubbing or scratching the skin with hands, and diligently apply sun protection to minimize further skin damage.
If any discomfort occurs, seek medical attention promptly and follow standardized treatment under a doctor's guidance, which will help promote recovery.
