Mesotherapy

What is Mesotherapy?
MESOTHERAPY is a breakthrough medical practice that allows patients a non-invasive remedy to CELLULITE and FATTY DEPOSITS. The technique was invented in 1952 by Dr. Michel Pistor, where medication is injected into the mesoderm, the layer of fat and connective tissue.

How does Mesotherapy work?
MESOTHERAPY is the micro-injection of traditional medication, homeopathic medication, pharmaceuticals and vitamins into the mesoderm, or middle layer of skin. This acts as a "medicinal Bullet" that is delivered directly to the target in the body. Orally administered medication, on the other hand, is distributed throughout the body. Mesotherapy allows a much smaller dose of the same medicine to be injected directly at the problem area, into the skin, with the skin acting as an efficient time-release delivery system.

Mesotherapy works by stimulating the body to Heal itself in those targeted areas.

The medications that are used melt the fat beneath the skin and shrink the fat cells in the scarpa's fascia layer. The fat dissolves and is carried through the bloodstream and excreted by kidneys and bowel.

Mesotherapy for getting rid of cellulite
Mesotherapy can be used to eliminate cellulite on the legs and buttocks, by repairing the connective tissue, shrinking the fat cells and increasing circulation. Mesotherapy can rid these areas of the 'orange peel" like skin. This helps reveal a smoother and more even toned appearance. The average patient generally requires several weekly treatments in order to achieve this result.

Mesotherapy for spot reduction
The same principles that allow Mesotherapy to eliminate cellulite can be used to rid other areas of the body of excess fat. Mesotherapy unlike liposuction is a non-surgical procedure that does not require hospital admission, general anesthesia, or downtime.

What techniques are employed to deliver the medication to the mesoderm layer?

Using a very tiny needle the medication is injected into the mesoderm. Sometimes the technique of "multi-pricking" is used, where a number of swift, painless injections are concentrated in a specific area.
