Background: Cutaneous infections from non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a well-documented but poorly characterized adverse event following mesotherapy injections. Objective: This study aims to consolidate the available literature to characterize demographic and clinical features of mesotherapy-associated NTM infections. Methods: Using PRISMA guidelines, a systematic review of PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases was undertaken for articles reporting cases of NTM skin infections following mesotherapy. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Results: Of 1966 search results, 30 articles (N = 423 patients) met inclusion criteria. Studies were largely from South America, and patients were mostly women aged 16-55 with NTM infections arising in the abdomen, buttocks, or thighs. Nearly all patients developed multiple, well-localized lesions without systemic symptoms. Effect summary by meta-analysis revealed most infections resolved after antibiotic therapy, though many patients required multiple antibiotic courses and/or agents to resolve infection. Infections often took weeks to resolve and were complicated by post-treatment scarring. Limitations: The main limitation of this study was the heterogeneity and lack of consistency between case reports. Conclusion: Cutaneous NTM infections associated with mesotherapy generally occur in women of childbearing age, arise from injections contaminated by the environment, and are often complicated by scarring/poor cosmesis and prolonged treatment course.

Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection of the skin and soft tissues is a complication of cosmetic procedures. The incidence of cutaneous NTM infections has increased significantly as aesthetic operations have become more commonplace. With the rise of cosmetic tourism, the geographic expansion of NTM infections is a major concern. Due to the unique pathogenesis of NTM infections, diagnosis and treatment remain significant challenges for clinicians. Clinical management relies on a combination of antibiotic therapy with drug susceptibility testing and appropriate surgical debridement. Some new drugs, photodynamic therapy, and bacteriophage therapy have been developed in recent years, and may improve the aesthetic outcomes. This review summarizes the cosmetic procedures prone to NTM infections in recent years and their clinical features. We propose a 2-stage treatment procedure, including a hospitalization phase and a follow-up phase. We aim to increase the alertness of clinicians to NTM infections for timely detection and treatment. Level of Evidence: 3
