Abstract

The Italian society of mesotherapy, after a national consensus, carried out an international web-based consensus by the Delphi method. Our objective was to clarify the role of mesotherapy, its advantages, limitations, and correct use in clinical practice with multidisciplinary experts. All the experts approved the final recommendations and mesotherapy has been redefined as a minimally invasive technique that consists of the introduction of small amounts of pharmaceutical substances with micro deposits in the surface layer of the skin. The slowly injected compounds diffuse into the underlying tissues and produce a drug-sparing effect compared to the parenteral route. Used properly, this technique can be useful in some clinical indications.
