Mesotherapy for Melasma – An Updated Review

Abstract

Mesotherapy is a popular novel therapeutic modality that delivers intradermal or subcutaneous microinjections of pharmaceutical compounds. Although this novel treatment method is used commonly in aesthetic dermatology, there is little information about the details of injections, efficacy, and side effects of mesotherapy in melasma. In this review, we evaluated the efficacy of various types of anti-pigmentation agents used with mesotherapy in the management of melasma.
