I had mesotherapy treatment to my belly about 5 months ago and now I have bruising in the area of the mesotherapy. Is that normal?

Bruising from mesotherapy should usually be resolved after 5 months

Bruising is quite common with mesotherapy.  However, it usually doesn't occur 5 months after the therapy.  Usually, maximal bruising occurs within 3 days of therapy.  I would see your doctor to determine why you are having bruising at this late date.
