A decades-old cosmetic procedure called mesotherapy, which involves injecting unregulated mixtures of vitamins and drugs under the skin to reduce under-eye bags, is regaining popularity in the US. Despite its appeal for being quick and relatively inexpensive, doctors warn of serious risks, including allergic reactions, infections, and even permanent eye damage when performed by inexperienced practitioners.
Mesotherapy is a technique that uses injections of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and plant extracts to rejuvenate and tighten skin, as well as remove excess fat.
This technique is used to remove fat in areas like the stomach, thighs, buttocks, hips, legs, arms, and face.
