Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is a painless technique of injecting a small amount of a customized mixture of conventional pharmaceutical or homeopathic medications, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes into the mesoderm or middle layer of skin.  These very small doses of the substances are administered using very tiny needles in specific areas depending on the condition being treated.  Mesotherapy is used to treat a broad range of illnesses and pain conditions.  This minimally invasive approach has shown successful results in many areas: sports injuries, hair re-growth, alopecia, and cosmetic treatments.

On What areas of the body can Mesotherapy be used?
Mesotherapy may be used for cellulite, body fat reduction, body sculpting and weight loss, facial rejuvenation (mesolift), and eye fat pads.

How does Mesotherapy reduce cellulite?
The skin condition affects over 90% of females regardless of their weight or age.  The lumpy and dimpled appearance of the skin that usually appears on the hips, buttocks, legs, and midsection is the result of connective tissue bands (septae) that holds down areas of the skin, trapping the fat, while other areas bulge outward, thereby resulting in the undesirable “orange peel” appearance.  The mesotherapy formula is based on the grade of cellulite found.  There are four stages of cellulite, each of which may require a different treatment:

The injected customized blend of medications interacts with the fat cell, encouraging the cell to release the fat within and allowing it to be burned as fuel.  It also improves blood flow and lymphatic drainage of the target area, removes the fibrotic, connective tissue bands, and melts the excess fat deposits.  This results in a significant reduction of the “orange peel” skin appearance and in the loss of inches from the treated areas.  Because cellulite is a chronic condition, the mesotherapy process of correcting it may require ten to fifteen (10 – 15) sessions.

Can it achieve the same results as liposuction?
For females and males who have an accumulation of fat in unwanted areas, mesotherapy is a non-invasive alternative to liposuction.  However, the technique is not a complete replacement for liposuction.  Mesotherapy is a suitable alternative for small are sculpturing or as an option for patients who may be not good surgical candidates for liposuction.  The fat-burning mesotherapy injections can successfully reduce fat deposits from hips, thighs, waist, love handles, back, abdomen, arms, and double chins (or any other area where your body has unwanted pockets of fat).

Both males and females who are simultaneously engaged in comprehensive systems of diet, exercise, nutritional supplementation and hormone balancing will achieve the greatest benefit.

What is meant by sculpting?
Sculpting is the cosmetic contouring of the abdomen, face, neck, back, bra-lines, legs, thighs, and hands ban be achieved with mesotherapy injections.  Vitamins and amino acids are injected to tighten sagging skin while additional mesotherapy medications are used to remove areas of fat, thereby restoring a more youthful and athletic appearance of the body without downtime from work.  Based on individual requirements, the physician will select a formula that is injected under the skin where it will slowly diffuse into the fat and produce fat breakdown.  Where successful, visible results measured in inches are usually achieved within 4 weeks and the treatments are long lasting when combined with exercise and healthy lifestyle.  The number of required treatments will vary.

Can Mesotherapy be used for Facial Rejuvenation?
The mesolift is a mesotherapy approach to treat aging, sagging, and wrinkling of the skin involving the face and neck.  It is also used to retard the progression of wrinkling and to rejuvenate ashen complexions.  Mesotherapy helps to shrink fat from under the neck, remove free radical damage, and tighten loose skin.  The effects rejuvenate the face, eyelids, and neck without the unnatural appearance and painful recovery of surgical alternatives.

Can Mesotherapy be used to remove eye fat pads?
Mesotherapy has proven successful for reduction of the fat or puffy areas found under the eyes (the “tired” look).  It can usually delay, or avoid, the need for future surgical removal of fat pads (lower eyelid blepharoplasty) and the possible complications associated with the surgery.

The Mesotherapy Technique:
Mesotherapy must be performed by a licensed physician who has received proper training in performing mesotherapy procedures.  Using a very fine needle (similar to the type used for Botox injections), the physician painlessly injects into the mesoderm (middle layer of skin) the specific formula to treat your condition.  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 (10 – 14) days depending on the location and size of the area being treated.  The injections are made at small distances (one inch intervals along the affected area) and in small doses per treatment.
