How Does Mesotherapy Work?

Mesotherapy is scientifically based on current medical practice in the medical literature.  The formulas are vitamins, minerals, plant ex tracts, and FDA approved pharmaceutical drugs that are injected into the mesoderm, or middle layer of the skin, to “liquefy” the body’s fat cells, which will then be either burned as energy or is carried through the bloodstream and excreted by the kidneys and bowel, leaving a smooth and firmer appearance. The procedure takes only 30 minutes.  Depending on the amount of unwanted fat and cellulite involved, 6 to 16 treatments are generally needed.  Both men and women are benefiting from Mesotherapy.

Mesotherapy has a variety of applications such as cellulite reduction, face and neck rejuvenation and body sculpting.  Weight loss treat ments are individualized and may require a longer term program.  The injected solution is personalized and individually prepared depend ing on its specific treatment area.  Unlike other aesthetic and medi cal treatments, Mesotherapy sculpting is administered directly to the targeted area for substantial desirable results.

Body Sculpting & Weight Loss

Mesotherapy is a painless, non-surgical alternative to liposuction.  Our custom and personalized formulas both prevents cells from storing fat and helps break down existing fat cells.  It can be used to spot reduce specific areas such as double chins, love handles, belly bulges, saddle bags and any other areas displaying fat pockets.  The results are mea sured in inches because the fat is literally melted under the skin.  About a pound of fat per week is lost and a typical patient can lose up to two dress sizes with ten treatments.  Patients have lost up to six inches on their waist, hips and thighs.

Cellulite Reduction & Elimination

Mesotherapy is a safe, medical solution that refines and eliminates dlimpling or the cottage cheese appearance.  Cellulite affects the ma jority of women over the age of 20 and is caused by poor circulation to the skin, bound lymphatics, fat hermiation and weakening of the con nective tissues.  Interestingly, cellulite asymmetry has become one of the most common complications of liposuction over the past fifteen years.  Mesotherapy treats three factors involved in the cellulite forma tion: Reduce the fat in your cellulite, improve impaired circulation and break down damaged connective tissue – thereby smoothing the skin surface.  Mesotherapy can treat cellulite located anywhere on the body. The skin will appear significantly smoother and refined.  Most patients lose up to 4 inches circumference in the treatment area.  Mesotherapy is the definitive aesthetic treatment for cellulite. 

Face & Neck Rejuvenation/Mesolift

The Mesolift is an alternative to invasive cosmetic procedures, effectively treats the effects of aging and sun exposure, sagging and wrinkling of the skin.  The Mesolift process delivers vitamins, minerals and amino acids
directly into the epidermis, mesoderm, and fascia to nourish and rejuvenate, promote production of collagen and elastin, and stimulate your natural metabolism.  NeckSculpt eliminates fat under the neck, softens wrinkles, restores the jaw line prominence, and tightens loose skin.  After treatment, patients commonly describe their skin as looking rested, radiant, glowing, firmer and younger.

Mesotherapy is also a highly effective rejuvenation treatment.  The procedure can be used to tone and tighten sagging skin on the neck, legs, abdomen, arms and hands.  This particularly addresses rejuvenation after weight loss, liposuction or pregnancy.  European women often start treatment in their twenties; however; Mesotherapy is a proven and valuable asset during any stage of a woman’s life. 

Fitness & Diet

All patients undergoing Mesotherapy will be asked to follow a natural healthy diet. This food management emphasizes lean protein sources, cruciferous, use of olive, omega 3 and omega 6 oils, and minimal use of white flour and simple sugar sources.  Drinking Eight glasses of water daily is important to flushing your system of the metabolic fats and toxins, eliminating them out of the body.  Exercise, either walking or another form of aerobic activity, combined with light weight resistance training will enhance your Mesotherapy results.
