History

Mesotherapy has proven to be effective for many conditions since its development in France in 1952. It is effective for cellulite elimination, body sculpting (targetted weight reduction) and skin rejuvenation.

The principle behind its use is that a combination of different formulas administered in a specific area will have an effect at that site.

Mesotherapy is the only answer to permanent reduction of cellulite.

Mesotherapy is also highly effective for body sculpting.  With a series of 10-15 sessions, you can experience a loss of several inches from neck, arms, back, thighs, waist, hips and other problem areas. 

Mesotherapy Procedure

Mesotherapy is a medical procedure in which very small amounts of medications, FDA approved for other uses, are injected into the middle layer of skin using micro gauge needles. The procedure includes multiple injections into localized areas to achieve maximum results with no down time. The procedure takes 20-30 minutes with minimal discomfort.. Fat is lost through the process of lipolysis.

BODYSCUPTING & WEIGHT LOSS

For those clients seeking weight loss, Mesotherapy is a revolutionary and essential tool. 

For those who find liposuction “too much”, Mesotherapy for fat loss and body contouring is absolutely the answer.

For those patients who have already had liposuction, and now find fat depositing in other areas as well as cellulite, which has become even worse, Mesotherapy is the answer.

This is how it works:  blocking the signals of fat accumulation modifies the biology of the fat cell and simultaneously triggering the release of stored fat.  Again, the desired area of treatment can be patient specific, targeting your most problematic areas.

Microinjections are given using a proprietary, individualized “fat burning” formula.  These injections are given directly into the areas being treated. Results are considered permanent as long as the patient adheres to a proper nutrition and exercise regimen.  An occasional touch-up may be required once or twice a year.

Mesotherapy results are measured in inches.  A typical patient can lose up to two dress sizes with 10 treatments. Patients have lost up to four inches on their waist, love handles, back fat, chin, hips and thighs.

Mesotherapy is the ultimate fat burning enhancer and will dramatically increase the results of overall weight loss and spot weight reduction as a supplement to a reasonable exercise and healthy diet regimen.

All patients undergoing Mesotherapy will be asked to follow a natural healthy diet, which will be easy to follow.  Because fat and toxins are eliminated, drinking six glasses of water or some type of liquid is used to flush these substances out of the body.  Exercise is needed to circulate the medications used, with either walking or another form of aerobic activity, at least three times a week. 

CELLULITE

According to recent research, 95 percent of women suffer from cellulite.  Not that they are the only ones, less common perhaps, but men suffer from it also.  This condition can be disfiguring and affects a person’s overall sense of well being.  Going to the beach or the pool can be just too embarrassing.  One often reads that there is no cure for cellulite.  This is untrue:  Mesotherapy has been a safe and successful cellulite treatment in many European and South American countries for over 50 years.

So what is cellulite?  Cellulite results from a combination of many things: poor circulation, defective connective tissue, enlarged fat cells or fatty tissue, fluid retention, poor diet and nutritional habits.  Typically (although not exclusively) a female problem, it can affect women of all ages irrespective of their weight.  They can be petite, thin or overweight, it can affect anyone.

In women, fat cells on the lower part of the body store fat six times more readily than those on the upper body.  They also release them six times less readily.  This makes weight loss from the lower body almost impossible without the upper body suffering unnecessarily.  The answer?  Mesotherapy.

Mesotherapy treats cellulite by improving circulation, strengthening connective tissues and dissolving excess fat.  There is no better treatment of cellulite that we have found as of today.

There are four stages of cellulite, based upon its appearance while standing, laying, and pinching the skin, each of which may require a different treatment:

Stage 0:  No visible cellulite, even when skin is pinched.

Stage 1:  No visible cellulite when standing or lying down, however cellulite can be seen                     

                when skin is pinched.

Stage 2:  Visible cellulite when standing, but not when lying down.

Stage 3:  Visible cellulite when standing and lying down.

The doctor creates a Mesotherapy formula based on the patient’s grade of cellulite.  During treatment, the formula is injected into the cellulite at one inch intervals along the affected area, this is called the Matrix.  This process of correcting cellulite can require up to 10 to 15 sessions, but sometimes less depending on the severity of the cellulite.

FACE & NECK REJUVENATION

A safe and natural alternative to traditional cosmetic procedures, particularly when recovery time and danger of side effects are of concern.

Aging, sagging and wrinkling of the skin occurs from accumulation of fat, loss of skin elasticity and excessive free radical damage.  The aging process can be cruel to our skin.  Between sun damage and progressive collagen loss, the skin loses its plumpness and resiliency. 

Mesotherapy skin rejuvenation or Meso-Skin™ infuses the dermis with potent vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids to rejuvenate, revitalize, promote collagen and elastin production and stimulates metabolism to the skin.  The resulting decrease in the flow of oxygen and nutrients makes it more difficult for the body to flush out toxic metabolic products that facilitates premature aging and an ashen appearance to the skin with no affect.

Mesotherapy can remove fat from under the neck, remove free radical damage, and tighten loose skin.  The Meso-Skin™ procedure can also be used to tone and tighten sagging skin on the neck and jaw line, legs, abdomen, arms and hands. 

In Europe, where Mesotherapy is common and has been used extensively for years, women often begin treatments in their thirties.  However, Mesotherapy is valuable during all phases of a woman’s life, and can be used for prevention as well as intervention and maintenance.

The effects rejuvenate the face, eyelids, and neck without the unnatural appearance and painful recovery of surgical face lifting.

People, who have had a Meso-Skin™, describe their skin as firmer, radiant, youthful and glowing.  The Meso-Skin™ is usually performed in an initial series of 2-4 treatments spaced a week apart.  Results are maintained by twice a year touch up sessions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is an aesthetic medical specialty, which involves injecting microscopic quantities of pharmaceutical agents, natural plant extracts, homeopathic agents, and vitamins into the skin. The Physician selects a custom formula to treat your condition. Mesotherapy can be effectively used to treat cellulite, body sculpting, weight loss, and rejuvenation of the skin.

What are the benefits of Mesotherapy over surgical techniques such as liposuction?

Liposuction cannot be used to treat cellulite and in fact often ends up making the cellulite more prominent. Mesotherapy treats cellulite directly, resulting in a smoother skin surface. Mesotherapy is effective in targeted fat reduction or body sculpting, like “love handles” or "saddlebags". Liposuction removes fat cells and subsequent weight gain is mal-distributed in the remaining adipose fat cells such as arms, neck and axillas. Mesotherapy removes fat from the cells and subsequent weight gain is symmetrical. Liposuction requires two weeks of downtime and elastic garments; Mesotherapy requires no downtime and loose, comfortable clothing. Liposuction has significant bruising and pain, Mesotherapy minimal bruising. Liposuction is a surgical procedure requiring general anesthesia, surgery center admittance, and surgical recovery. Mesotherapy is a minimally procedure performed in the privacy of our center.

How Does Mesotherapy Work On Cellulite/Fat?

Cellulite treatment includes treating several factors. The physician will create a personalized custom formula specific to your graded stage of cellulite. Components of the solutions dissolve the fat (induce lipolysis) in the cellulite, invigorate the impaired circulation with venous and lymphatic flow, and induce cellulysis of the damaged connective tissue. The aesthetic appearance is smoothing and contouring of the skin surface. Mesotherapy is the most effective Cellulite treatment available today and may be performed on any affected part of the body. Meso-Cellulite™ treatment is a permanent solution.

How Does Mesotherapy Work On Skin Rejuvenation & Wrinkle Prevention?

Meso-Skin™ mesotherapy utilizes Vitamin and antioxidant injections under the skin to makes the cells more active metabolically, stimulate both collagen and elastin production, creating a skin rejuvenation process. For wrinkle prevention, you can start in your mid- twenties with Mesotherapy vitamin treatments to prevent wrinkles from forming. Meso-Skin™ Treatments of the face, neck, and hands are recommended up to four times per year. The physician will recommend topical agents for daily care between mesotherapy treatments.

How Does Mesotherapy Work On Weight Loss & Spot Reduction

Meso-Sculpt™ mesotherapy may target specific areas or spots where your body stores excessive fat. The Meso-Sculpt™ customized formulas medically directed in a specific area blocks the cells from storing new fat and helps break down the existing stored fat cells and metabolize the fat (lipolysis). Your body then naturally flushes out the metabolized fat via invigorated venous and lymphatic circulation. Meso-Sculpt™ spot reduction can be used for double chins, love handles, saddlebags, inner thighs, inner knees, and any other area where your body pockets fat.

How many treatments will I need?

It will vary based on your personal treatment goals, medical recommendations, and areas of the body and extent of the cellulite/fat/skin/weight to be treated. The number of visits ranges from approximately five to fifteen. Long-term weight loss from exogenous obesity may require weekly treatment for several months, personalized to the client's specific goals, supported by daily exercise, diet management, and personalized vitamin supplements.

How fast will I see results?

Results vary, according to your body type, treatment goals, and the severity of the problem. Often, clients report seeing results within two or three sessions. For certain conditions, you may appreciate immediate results. Clients with regular exercise programs seem to achieve optimal results sooner.

Will the results last?

Yes, the results will last. Meso-Cellulite™ is a permanent solution to cellulite. Meso-Sculpt™ or targeted body sculpting and spot fat reduction, including weight loss are effective treatments. However, keep in mind that maintaining your weight loss and optimal sculpting result requires consistent exercise (with cardio and light resistance training) and consistent food management discipline (emphasis on lean protein and low glycemic carbohydrates). You may elect to have touch up treatments from time-to-time. Although aging is a dynamic process, you can benefit from mesotherapy as an important anti-aging and preventive medicine strategy.

Are the treatments painful?

We use topical triple anesthetic gel on all of our patients to assure a comfortable mesotherapy treatment. Clients who have treatment au natural sans gel may slightly feel the 4mm microinjections with the "le pinch an inch” technique. We strive to assure your Mesotherapy experience will be comfortable and effective.

Are there any side effects?
