FACTS
AND FAQs |
 WHAT
IS IT? |
Mesotherapy is a painless technique of injecting
a small amount of a customized
mixture of conventional pharmaceutical
or homeopathic medications,
vitamins, minerals, amino acids
and enzymes into the mesoderm
- or middle layer of skin.
These very small doses of the
substances are administered
using very tiny needles in specific
areas depending on the condition
being treated.
Mesotherapy is used to treat
a broad range of illnesses and
pain conditions. This minimally
invasive approach has shown
successful results in many areas:
sports injuries, hair regrowth,
alopecia, and cosmetic treatments.

 |
On
what areas of the body can Mesotherapy
be used as a cosmetic treatment? |
| |
|
| Mesotherapy
may be used for cellulite, body
fat reduction, body sculpturing
and weight loss, facial rejuvenation
(mesolift), and eye fat pads.
All of these uses have shown good
results, but only after a number
of treatments have been performed |

|
What can
I expect after a Mesotherapy treatment? |
| |
|
The
office procedure takes less
than 30 minutes per session
and requires little preparation
or recovery time.
No heavy
bandage or compression girdles
are required. The majority of
patients experience minimal
discomfort with mesotherapy.
Some patients may develop minimal
local pain, a minor burning
sensation for a few hours, and
temporary bruising. Itching
and soreness may be experienced
for a few days.
Like any
other injectable product, an
allergic reaction may occur
in some people. The procedure
is performed in the office and
takes minutes to complete. |

Is Mesotherapy
different from liposuction? |
| |
|
Yes.
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical
medical treatment. Mesotherapy
removes the fat from the fat
cell, where liposuction removes
the entire fat cell. Liposuction
is a surgical procedure that
requires anesthesia (local,
regional, or general). Mesotherapy
does not require anesthesia
nor recovery time. However,
mesotherapy is not a replacement
for liposuction.
Mesotherapy is applicable for
the reduction of small areas
of unwanted fat spots, cellulite
and skin rejuvenation. Mesotherapy
is best suited for men and women
who are not excessively overweight
but, instead, have certain problem
areas with stubborn fat that
can no longer be reduced by
diet and exercise. These patients
want liposuction but are hesitant
to undergo a surgical procedure.
The downside with mesotherapy
is mainly that the results are
gradual when compared with the
immediate results that liposuction
offers.
Mesotherapy has shown excellent
results to smoothen and reduce
uneven fat spots that may persist
after liposuction, thereby avoiding
the need for additional touch-up
liposuction procedures. Mesotherapy
and liposuction are not competitive
procedures but, rather, they
complement each other
