What is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is a technique developed in France by Dr. Michael Pistor in 1952. It is achieving amazing results in cellulite reduction and weight loss!

Mesotherapy is a series of nearly painless injections of FDA approved medications, vitamins and homeopathic compounds directly into the skin to shrink unwanted fat and reduce cellulite.

How Does Mesotherapy Work?

Mesotherapy involves using a combination of medications that work to actually shrink the fat cell. The biology of the fat cell membrane changes with the treatment so that fat can no longer enter the cell, while simultaneously triggering the release of stored fat. This leads to a shrinking of the fat cell itself. It is then removed from the body via the urine. For cellulite reduction, the circulation in the area is improved and the connective tissue is strengthened, leading to smoother, softer skin.

What Are the Uses?

Generalized weight loss

Mesotherapy can be applied to the abdomen, arms, hips, legs, under the chin and buttocks. The results are measured in pounds and inches.

A complete dietary and nutrient evaluation is essential in achieving the optimal results from the technique.


Cellulite Reduction

Cellulite is not a condition of obesity or age. The majority of women over the age of 20 are affected by cellulite.

It is caused by poor circulation and a weakening of the connective tissue under the skin, as well as hormonal imbalances.

Cellulite is classified into 4 stages based on how it appears while standing, lying down and pinching of the skin.

Mesotherapy works by increasing the circulation and strengthening the connective tissue while dissolving excess fat. This removes the cellulite leading to skin that is softer and smoother.

Mesolift: Face Rejuvenation

Skin can sag and become wrinkled secondary to sun damage and aging leading to a loss of elasticity. It is also simultaneously exposed to excessive free radical damage.

Mesotherapy can be used to rejuvenate the face by using amino acids, hydrating solutions and antioxidants. The mixture revitalizes the skin, making it more luminous, softer and smoother, while also tightening the skin.

Medical Uses

Mesotherapy was initially developed to treat a variety of medical conditions including tendonitis, and arthritis among other conditions.

The specialized solution is administered only to the affected area, avoiding the side effects seen in medications taken by mouth.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

The average patient will need 8-10 treatments, with results being seen by the fifth to sixth treatment.

For medical indications, or for thin people with target problem areas, fewer treatment sessions may be needed.

How Long Does It Last?

Weight loss and cellulite results are permanent as long as the patient continues with an adequate diet and exercise regiment. Intermittent follow up visits may be necessary for other indications.

What are the typical Results?

Patients that come in for cellulite reduction generally lose 2-3 inches where treated. The skin is much smoother and softer.
In reference to weight reduction, patients lose 1-2 dress or pant sizes in 10-15 sessions.
