Mesotherapy - What It Is and What Your Options Are
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive injection treatment that actually stimulates the body and emulsifies the fat cells in the body so that they will be eliminated by the body’s detoxification process. At the same time, the injection will boost the collagen cells and increase blood flow to create younger, more attractive looking skin in the places where injections are made. The injections are made up of vitamins, supplements, and medications that your doctor will concoct in order to get the best results for your fat elimination and skin rejuvenation needs.
Mesotherapy is relatively new to the United States, but it has been practiced in France since 1952 after being discovered by Dr. Michael Pistor. There are more than 15,000 doctors worldwide that use this treatment option, and the U.S. is simply the newest to join the ranks of users. The treatment is an effective alternative to liposuction and can provide patients with better, more lasting results with less invasive procedures and much less risk than what is involved with a typical surgical procedure. This is not designed to be a weight loss surgery, but there have been about 20% of patients who have reported a loss of weight or inches almost immediately after treatment.
Mesotherapy takes 30-60 minutes to complete in one session, but there are anywhere from 3 to 15 sessions required in order to achieve full results. Depending on how much treatment you need and what type of results you want, your doctor will work out a treatment schedule with you that meets your needs. There is little risk with this treatment and very few after-effects. There is minimal injection site pain and stinging, but this is no worse than a waxing treatment might be. For the most part, it is pain free, hassle free, and effective in eliminating cellulite and fat.
Mesotherapy works by injecting the solution into the mesoderm, where fatty tissues will be liquefied, collagen will be contracted and encouraged to grow, and the blood flow will increase to create a healthier looking appearance on the external skin once the fat has been eliminated. There are many different types of fat elimination and cellulite reduction treatments available, but this is probably one of the most effective with the least amount of risk and side effects. Talk to your doctor about this procedure if you think it is right for you, because you need to make sure that you’re a good candidate for the procedure.
