Busy work schedule, household chores, unforeseen circumstances. A woman has to take all this into account in order to find time to care for herself painlessly for her family and career. And our biological rhythms strive to intervene in this turmoil. Is it possible to do biorevitalization or mesotherapy during menstruation? The opinions of cosmetologists and their patients on this matter differ: some believe that the procedures may not give the desired effect, others are afraid of large hematomas and swelling, and others insist that there are no real reasons to refuse the desired “beauty injections” in this case. Whose side is the truth on and should we be afraid of negative consequences? Let's look at the issue in detail:
How do periods affect the results of injections?
Shortly before the start of each menstruation, a woman’s concentration of sex hormones in her blood changes significantly, which inevitably affects her physical and emotional state.
The mood becomes unstable, sometimes familiar things can cause an extremely violent reaction from the nervous system. There is a tendency to attach an overly negative connotation to many events and experiences. Inflammatory processes are much more active (who among us was not covered in pustules during this period?). The pain threshold decreases - sensitivity to external physical influences increases, and it becomes much more difficult to endure them. Blood clotting decreases. At the same time, most metabolic and other significant processes in the body do not undergo any noticeable changes. Therefore, from a medical point of view, the basic effects of mesotherapy cocktails, Botox, fillers, biorevitalizants and most other cosmetic drugs do not depend on which day of the menstrual cycle the injections were given.
Bruises after mesotherapy
You cannot call care after facial mesotherapy a period of recovery, much less rehabilitation.
There is no “rehabilitation” here. Mesotherapy does not injure the skin, does not violate its barrier properties, and does not lead to microdamage to fibers or connective tissue cells. There is not even exfoliation of dead cells after mesotherapy. Mesotherapy is one of the most gentle and gentle methods of aesthetic medicine. It is based on the injection of nutritional cocktails of amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins, growth factors, and hyaluronic acid into the middle layers of the dermis. Injections during injections are the only “traumatic” factor.
Bruises after mesotherapy are very rare. In cellulite correction programs, small hematomas may form after the administration of mesotherapy drugs, but they disappear within a couple of days.
Bruises after facial mesotherapy can be caused by one of two reasons. Either the procedure is performed by an unqualified cosmetologist, or you have weak blood vessels and reduced blood clotting. By the way, a blood clotting disorder is a contraindication to mesotherapy, and carrying out the procedure against the background of problems with hemostasis says a lot about the qualifications of the cosmetologist.
If you follow all the rules for introducing meso-cocktails, the rejuvenation course takes place without the slightest discomfort. Only slight swelling and hyperemia of the skin is possible for a couple of hours after the procedure. However, this does not mean that you can neglect the doctor’s recommendations and ignore all the rules of skin care after mesotherapy. The effectiveness of the course depends on this, so you better know what you can and cannot do after mesotherapy. We have prepared answers to 6 frequently asked questions.
Physiological features that you should pay attention to.
Some specific reactions of our body to hormonal changes can further complicate the implementation of “beauty injections”.
Closer to menstruation and at its very beginning, pain sensitivity changes. For some women, the difference is so strong that multiple injections performed during mesotherapy or biorevitalization turn from simply uncomfortable into intolerable - especially when it comes to working with delicate areas around the eyes or near the lips. In addition, the emotional coloring of pain also changes – towards a brighter and more negative one. It is no longer possible to cope with such double stress with the help of an anesthetic cream like “Emly” - you need drugs that, in addition to the analgesic component, contain a moderate tranquilizer - for example, Tempalgin (sold in pharmacies without a doctor’s prescription). Those patients who are “warned” of the approach of menstruation by purulent pimples may have temporary contraindications to the procedure, since any inflammatory processes in the soft tissues of the face can become a potential source of infection at the sites of intradermal and subcutaneous administration of the drug. During menstruation, the ability of blood to clot changes - it becomes more fluid, which creates the risk of the formation of large hematomas on the face. Only the most superficial intradermal injections will be safe. Anything that goes deeper is likely to injure blood vessels. And if on ordinary days this is not scary, then during menstruation it can lead to the formation of diffuse blue discoloration, which will then “bloom” for several days, gradually changing its shade to greenish, brown and yellow. However, many cosmetologists believe that the risks of such a development of events are small, since blood clotting in healthy women during “critical days”, although reduced, still remains within the physiological norm. Before menstruation, when the body actively accumulates water, swelling in response to the administration of hyaluronic acid preparations may be more pronounced - even if it is not a dense filler, but a light biorevitalizant or a multicomponent meso-cocktail. However, if a woman does not initially have a tendency to retain fluid in the facial area, there will most likely not be a significant difference. What are the conclusions: is it possible or not?
Firstly, as we have already found out, it is much easier to subjectively tolerate injections into the soft tissues of the face at the beginning or middle of the cycle, and not closer to the end. Any changes in one's own appearance, even temporary ones - such as papules that persist for several days at the injection sites - can be extremely painful for a woman during menstruation. If we add to this the general instability of the nervous system and the tendency to see everything in a black light (and this is what critical days are “famous for”), then the reaction to the results of the procedure can be completely unpredictable. It is much easier to work with a patient when she is rested and calm. What to do if you can’t sign up for “beauty injections” at another time:
It will be much safer to schedule a visit to a cosmetologist not on the first days of your period, but on the 3rd-5th or later. You need to make sure that you do not have problems with blood clotting: even small deviations, which normally would not affect the result, can intensify during menstruation and lead to the appearance of large, persistent hematomas. Women prone to swelling should prepare in advance for the fact that their face will look scary in the first few days. It will not be possible to significantly influence the situation, but in a maximum of a week everything should return to normal. Those who are confident in their own emotional stability, are not afraid of pain and are ready to challenge stress can safely plan the procedure even on the first day of the cycle: it will be unpleasant, but there are no direct medical contraindications to this for a healthy person.
Is it possible to do mesotherapy during menstruation?
Mesotherapy is an injection or superficial (ultrasound or other) effect aimed at introducing a carrier, a gel-like substance, with vitamins, mineral components, and means for saturating tissues with moisture. If we are talking about injections, it is carried out under local anesthesia, using modern antiseptic drugs. Mesotherapy during menstruation should take into account a number of factors:
- a significant decrease in the pain threshold - more intensive anesthesia may be required;
- reduced blood clotting - it can contribute to the formation of hematomas even during minimally invasive interventions;
- severe swelling - with the introduction of hyaluronic acid, stagnation of water in the tissues can become really significant, leading to the formation of severe edema;
- the formation of foci of purulent inflammation (acne) in the area of facial tissue - in this case, the procedure will definitely have to wait.
It is important to note that the process of injection treatment of facial skin during menstruation is also complicated by the unstable psycho-emotional state of patients. In particular, we are talking about worries about changes in one’s appearance, a more dramatic reaction to the possible appearance of complications.

Summing up
There is no clear answer to the question of whether it is possible to do needle mesotherapy during menstruation. Critical days are not a direct contraindication to it. But doctors strongly advise against such stress for the body, especially if you plan to work in sensitive areas: around the eyes, lips, neck, chest and décolleté.
According to patient reviews, the difference in sensations during mesotherapy during menstruation and on the remaining days of the cycle is significant. Therefore, having once experienced such an experience, few do not dare to repeat it. It is especially not recommended to do a home session with a dermaroller - it can certainly be postponed for several days to avoid possible problems.
Where is mesotherapy performed?
This is a very important point. The procedure should only be performed by a competent and experienced specialist. Under no circumstances should you agree to home experiments, which are now full of private advertisements. This is fraught with the most severe consequences, including hospitalization and facial defects. The cosmetologist at our clinic has a specialized medical education, so any mistakes are completely excluded.

Features of the facial mesotherapy procedure
Mesotherapy is not limited to face lifting. A special cocktail of minerals and amino acids has a healing effect not only on the problem area of the skin: the beneficial properties extend to the entire human body. The procedure itself solves a number of aesthetic problems:
- dark circles under the eyes;
- dark spots;
- dry skin;
- dull complexion;
- irregular skin and face texture.
The correct result is influenced by two main components: the correct active substances and a short, thin needle. During mesotherapy of the face and hair , the skin receives a large number of microtraumas, as a result of which the body urgently begins to produce collagen and elastin, which activate restoration processes, including improving the microcirculation of blood cells.
Ingredients for mesotherapy
The drug may contain the following components:
- Synthesized substances. These are completely artificial ingredients. Today they are present in almost all injections. Perhaps the most common component is hyaluronic acid. Facial mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid gives the fastest and expected effect in the form of smoothing the skin, making it velvety, and also moisturizes it.
- Vitamins . Such cocktails include vitamins B, A, C, E and P. In some cases, a specialist makes a mix of all the vitamins, but it all depends on the properties and type of the patient’s skin.
- Minerals . Zinc, phosphorus and sulfur help effectively fight acne.
- Phospholipids . Substances that restore skin elasticity.
- Plant extracts. This includes gingko biloba, gingocaffeine and various animal components. As well as substances that stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for skin elasticity.
- Organic acids. Typically this is glycolic acid.
It should be understood that facial mesotherapy should only be performed by a specialist of the highest class, with a higher medical education. Our cosmetologist independently prepares cocktails for the procedure or individually selects a ready-made mixture.
