Cortisone infiltrations are very effective at reducing inflammation and pain in the short term, but over time they can degrade joint cartilage and lose effectiveness. Mesochelation and Biopuncture seek the opposite: to provide elements that help tissue regeneration, without accumulated degradation. They are not mutually exclusive: there are cases where a one-off cortisone infiltration is the best short-term option, and others where our techniques are more appropriate in the long term. The clinical decision is made case by case.

It is a generally painless treatment. The needles we use are very fine and the substances are administered in very small volumes. Most patients only notice a slight discomfort similar to a mosquito bite at the moment of injection. When necessary, we can add a minimal amount of diluted procaine to make the session even more comfortable.

It depends on the problem and the evolution of each case. The standard protocol usually begins with a weekly session for 4 to 6 weeks to consolidate the response. Afterwards we assess whether spaced maintenance sessions are needed. In acute pathologies (for example, a recent tendinitis), 2-3 sessions may be enough. In chronic degenerative pathologies (advanced osteoarthritis), it can be a longer process with periodic maintenance.

Many patients notice improvement already after the first or second session, especially in painful conditions with inflammatory or myofascial component. In more established degenerative pathologies (advanced osteoarthritis, chronic herniations), results usually become evident between the fourth and sixth session. Tissue regeneration is a gradual process: sustained improvement appears over time.

Yes. It is an outpatient treatment and most people return to their daily life immediately. We recommend avoiding intense physical exercise for the first 24 hours and maintaining good hydration. Some people may notice slight local discomfort for 24-48 hours, but without limiting their usual activities.

These treatments are provided in the private sphere and are not covered by CASS. Some complementary insurance policies with integrative medicine coverage may reimburse a portion. We always issue an invoice so you can submit it to your insurance if applicable.

In the vast majority of cases, yes. These techniques are compatible with most medications and treatments. There are some exceptions we assess in the initial consultation (high-dose anticoagulants, severe immunosuppression). In no case will we ask you to abandon a treatment prescribed by your doctor without prior coordination with the prescriber.

It can help, but it is important to have realistic expectations. Complete regeneration of a joint with advanced osteoarthritis is not possible with any conservative technique. What we can often achieve is to significantly reduce pain, improve mobility, slow progression and, in some cases, postpone or avoid surgery. In the first consultation we assess the degree of osteoarthritis and give you a realistic estimate of what we can expect.

In some cases yes, especially when treatment starts in early or intermediate phases. There are patients who are on a surgical waiting list and, after a cycle of joint regeneration, decide to postpone the intervention indefinitely. But this is not the case in all advanced osteoarthritis: there are situations where surgery is the best option, and we say so clearly when that’s the case. Our job is to assess your case honestly, not to sell treatments without indication.

The cost depends on the modality, the complexity of the case and the number of sessions planned. We offer you a first assessment where, after studying your case, we detail the proposed protocol with the total cost. You can request price information by phone (+376 867 700) or via the contact form indicating the reason for the consultation.
