It is the practice of microinjecting a small amount of specific
medication, vitamins, minerals, or fillers to an area of the body
requiring treatment. Application of the solution is accomplished
by a short Mesotherapy needle, and is essentially painless.
Mesotherapy can be used in many ways, such as rejuvenation of the
face, neck and hands; treating cellulite; and sculpting the body.
How Does Mesotherapy control
Cellulite?
Cellulite is caused by poor venous and lymphatic flow, and fluid
retention in the middle layer, the mesoderm. The fluid retention
in this layer, which is rich in fat cells and fibrous tissue,
gives the skin a "dimpling" or "peau d'orange" appearance.
Mesotherapy improves the circulation, softens the fibrous tissue,
and dissolves the excessive bulging fat that causes the skin
unevenness.
What is Mesolift / Mesoglow?
It is the administration of a mixture of vitamins, amino acids,
minerals, coenzymes, and fillers to the face, neck, décolleté
lines, and hands. This anti-aging treatment results in a natural
lift, a glow to the face, and rejuvenation of the treatment area.
In local fat reduction, how is
Mesotherapy different than liposuction?
Mesotherapy is used to reduce saddlebags, abdomen, love handles,
hips, waistline, arms, double chin, and bags underneath the eyes.
There are definite differences. Mesotherapy is a non-invasive
procedure, while liposuction is a surgical procedure, requiring
anesthesia, a post-operative garment, downtime, recovery time, and
scarring.
How many treatments are required
and how long do results last?
Usually about 10 Mesotherapy sessions are required, and five
sessions of Mesolift are required once a week. The results are
long-lasting with one or two follow-up, yearly treatments to
maintain desired results.
With the procedure are there any
side effects or down time?
With Mesotherapy, there is no downtime. Treatment can
begin the same day as the initial consultation, and
the patient can return to work after the procedure.
The only side effect may be some temporary, mild bruising
that can last over one year if not longer..
