Mesotherapy

Question:-

What is the ruling of Mesotherapy? The idea behind mesotherapy is that it corrects underlying issues like poor circulation and inflammation that cause skin damage.

Answer:-

Mesotherapy is a procedure used primarily to remove excess fat from the face, arms, thighs, fade wrinkles and lines, tighten loose skin, recontour the body, lighten pigmented skin etc. We understand from the above that the procedure is carried out particularly for beautification and cosmetic purposes. According to research conducted, it was found that there has been some level of success in certain areas of the treatment, whilst it hasn’t really shown success in other areas such as in removing of wrinkles, skin rejuvenation, etc. At times, patients are required to consult up to 15 times to acquire the desired results, whilst the cost of such treatment could reach up to R90 000.00, which is purely extravagance and a waste of valuable time and effort.  Also, many of these procedures (similar to Botox) could prove cancerous which manifests itself in the years to come. The ingredients used in the injections are unknown to us and the therapy in question hasn’t been approved by the FDA. We therefore advise abstention.

A person’s outward beauty lasts for just a few days whilst the internal beauty of a person (which is the beauty of the heart) is perpetual. If the heart has been corrected and carries noble characteristics, then such a person is beloved to the people and beloved to Allah Ta’ala. It is these qualities that will be weighty on the scales on the day of Qiyaamah. We should therefore focus more on our spiritual condition rather than our outward condition.

ALLAH TA’ALA KNOWS BEST!
