TLDR The guidelines standardize mesotherapy practices for safety and effectiveness in pain, rehabilitation, and skin treatments.
The document establishes international consensus guidelines for the safe and evidence-based practice of mesotherapy, addressing the lack of standardized protocols.

The conclusions emphasize the transition from practice based on personal beliefs to evidence-based practice, highlighting the need for ongoing research and regular updates to the guidelines.
