Mesotherapy in Myrtle Beach & Florence, SC

Common side effects are local and temporary: redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection sites, usually settling within a few days. Good candidates are generally healthy adults at or near a stable weight with specific dimpled or diet-resistant areas. Pregnancy and breastfeeding, blood thinners or a bleeding disorder, an active skin infection at the treatment site, and a known allergy to any component of the blend all rule it out. Because the treatment is off-label, screening comes first: Dr. Sattele reviews your health history and current medications before recommending mesotherapy, and will tell you straight when a different option would serve you better.

Mesotherapy is also used off-label on localized fat pockets that hold on after weight stabilizes: the stomach and lower abdomen, love handles, inner thighs, and a double chin. The Mesotherapy solution is injected into the treated area, with the goal of a softer-looking contour over a course of sessions. We we measure success in inches and appearance, area by area.

No. As of July 2026, mesotherapy is not FDA-approved for fat reduction, cellulite, or any other use, and no standardized formula exists. Formulas differ widely between practices, from phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate to vitamin, caffeine, and plant-extract blends, so what you would receive is not the same everywhere.  Off-label use of prescription ingredients remains legal and routine in cosmetic medicine when a licensed clinician screens the patient and takes responsibility for the treatment; what a practice may not do is advertise the procedure as approved or proven. That is the arrangement you get here, disclosed you start mesotherapy with us.

Mesotherapy works as a series.  Most patients need 4 to 6 sessions spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart, depending on the treatment area and desired results. A session itself is quick: your provider cleans the area and places a series of shallow micro-injections across it, and most people head back to their day afterward, with any bruising or swelling settling over a few days. Your provider sets the count by area and goal, and any changes build gradually across the course. Pricing is per session, quoted in writing at the free consultation so you can decide with the number in front of you.
