 What
is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy
is a non-invasive procedure in which medication is
micro-injected into targeted areas to treat excess fat
and cellulite, reduce fine lines, regrow hair and
rejuvenate the face. Mesotherapy's medical uses include
treatment for anxiety, insomnia, bone spurs, muscle
spasms, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, reflex
sympathetic dystrophy and osteoarthritis.
How
does the treatment work?
Mesotherapy
can deliver a host of medications directly into areas of
concern.When tailored to weight loss, injectables
oxidize fat, shrink cells, weaken connective tissue and
increase cell production. Fat released into the body is
metabolized in exercise or excreted. Mesotherapy
sessions are used alongside exercise and diet regimens
rather than as an alternative to them.
What
are the results?
Mesotherapy
is a permanent solution that eliminates dimpling and
extra fat under the skin. After Mesotherapy, a
patient’s skin appears significantly smoother. Most
patients lose anywhere from two to four inches where
their cellulite was treated. On specific targeted areas,
some patients can lose up to six inches.
How
many treatments are required?
Mesotherapy
requires a series of treatments for larger areas. The
number of sessions is determined by the results you
desire.
Is
Mesotherapy safe?
Mesotherapy
has no serious side effects. All injected substances
such as vitamins, antioxidants, phosphatidycholine or
hyaluronic acid are FDA approved.
Are
there any possible side effects?
You may
experience tenderness, swelling or redness for a few
days after your session. In some cases, a nodule will
develop and recede on its own over the next couple of
months. Rare allergic reactions to injectables may
occur.
Will
there be any downtime?
No, you
may return to your daily routine immediately.
What
are the benefits of Mesotherapy over other treatments?
Mesotherapy
is a targeted, non-invasive way to achieve instant
results. It has a high (80-90%) success rate.
Mesotherapy can be used to treat very specific or deep
areas. Should you regain weight lost through
Mesotherapy, it will not appear in odd and unpredictable
places, as it often does in liposuction.
What
can be expected post-treatment?
After
treatment, you may return to your daily schedule. There
may be some tenderness, redness or swelling which will
diminish over the next couple of days.
How
long does a Mesotherapy treatment last?
A session
typically lasts about thirty minutes.
Who
should avoid Mesotherapy?
You should
avoid Mesotherapy if you are pregnant or breastfeeding
or have serious medical conditions. Certain skin
diseases may disqualify you from treatment.
How
does the treatment feel?
Needles
are small, about the size of an eyelash. The smallest
possible micro-injections are used, causing minimal
discomfort. The multi-pricking therapy is even less
noticeable and can hardly be felt at all.
How
long do the results last?
The
results are long-lasting in the absence of further
weight gain. Maintenance sessions performed once or
twice a year will prolong results.
What
are the alternative treatments?
Laser skin
resurfacing can be used for minor sculpting, whereas
liposuction can be used for larger areas. If you wish to
reduce fine lines or wrinkles, there are other
injectables and fillers such as Botox® and Restylane®.
What
are the limitations of Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy
is designed for small areas only. Dramatic results
require many treatments.
Instructions
for before treatment:
To reduce
bruising, avoid blood thinners for a week before
treatment.
Instructions
for after treatment:
It is
important that you exercise, drink lots of fluids and
eat healthy. Otherwise, fat released into your system
may reappear.
