Mesotherapy - Non-Surgical Cellulite Removal
Mesotherapy offers a type of spot treatment for fat reduction and cellulite elimination. This treatment has been used in France for more than 50 years and is now being offered in the United States as a cosmetic procedure for patients who want to get rid of unwanted cellulite and fat without surgery. The treatment involves a small amount of vitamins, medications, and supplements being injected into the fatty areas and the connective tissues, or the mesoderm. Until recently, this procedure required a trip overseas. However, you can now get it from many cosmetic doctors in the U.S. who have taken it upon themselves to learn the procedure for cosmetic use.
Dr. Michael Pistor originally invented the procedure in France and began using it in 1952. Through research, he learned that small amounts of medications injected into the mesoderm would result in increased blood flow, decreased fat deposits, and the removal of connective tissue that had hardened over time. More than 15,000 doctors worldwide have been using the procedure since it was first used in 1952, and the U.S. is the most recent country to join the group.
Mesotherapy is an effective alternative to liposuction for patients since it is non-surgical and actually offers spot fat elimination instead of full area treatments. It can be used on the face, neck, and the entire body where it is needed. This is not a weight loss surgery or procedure and is done strictly for cosmetic reasons. However, about 20% of patients have reported immediate inches lost and weight reduction. Some people see results that take longer to surface. Nonetheless, anyone who is trying to get healthy needs to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine to ensure that the fat loss is kept off and the body remains healthy.
Mesotherapy is a safe procedure since it is just an injection of vitamins, supplements, and a few medications into the mesoderm. The pain from the injections is mild and associated to the pain from having waxing treatments. This process takes anywhere from 3 to 15 sessions that last between 30 and 60 minutes or more depending on the size of the area being treated. You should always discuss Mesotherapy with your doctor before having any work done and know any risks or side effects of the treatment so that you can choose the most effective course of treatment for your needs. If you choose it, this can provide you with the fat removal that you have been looking for in a safer manner than surgery or traditional liposuction.
