Mesotherapy
What Is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a medical specialty that involves injecting microscopic quantities of natural extracts, homeopathic agents, pharmaceuticals and vitamins into the skin. It can be used to eliminate cellulite, promote weight loss, treat aging skin and redundant (sagging) skin, and rejuvenate the hands and neck.
What Are The Benefits Of Mesotherapy Over Liposuction?
Liposuction does not treat cellulite. In fact, liposuction often causes existing cellulite to appear more prominent. Mesotherapy treats cellulite directly, promoting smoother skin and reducing fat in selected areas. Fat deposits are flushed from the body, and do not reappear in other areas, which often occurs after liposuction. Mesotherapy does not require hospitalization, general anesthesia or downtime.
How Is This Treatment Performed?
Using a fine needle, the physician injects into the mesoderm the specific formula selected to treat your condition. The needles penetrate the body at only a very small depth. The number of injections and strength of each medication treatment is determined on an individual basis. Generally, patients require one treatment every ten to fourteen days depending on the location and size of the area being treated. The injections are made at small distances, 1 inch intervals along the affected area, and in small doses per treatment.
Following the injections, the fat is emulsified into fatty acids and burned off as energy and otherwise metabolized. The mesotherapy injections are performed by hand or using a specially designed gun delivery system.
What Can Patients Expect Following Treatment?
Results vary depending on your body type and the condition being treated. On average, patients notice visible improvement in two to three sessions. For certain conditions, patients see results after the first session.
