Mesotherapy originated
in France in the 1950s and has now spread around the world.
It is the practice of injecting small amounts of medications
and vitamins into the skin to bring their healing properties
to the treated areas.
Mesotherapy is
used in this country primarily for reducing cellulite and
fat in unwanted areas as well as for skin rejuvenation.
People from all age groups can have this procedure done. Before

Procedure Description
Mesotherapy can be done easily in the
office. The desired areas of treatment are injected with the
medications/vitamins. The procedure will take about 30-60
minutes depending on the areas treated. There is minimal bruising
and swelling and the patient can return to his/her daily activities
immediately after the procedure.
Additional Information
Most people will require from 6-10 sessions to achieve results.
These cellulite treatments are spaced 1-2 weeks apart. Dieting and exercise
will definitely help to maintain one's results over the long
term.
Mesotherapy is by far the most effective
cellulite treatment. Cellulite is a skin condition
seen commonly in the hips, thighs, and buttocks. The cottage
cheese appearance or multiple dimples on the skin occurs
in over 90% of post pubescent women. It is not related
to being overweight, as some people believe, but rather
to genetics. When mesotherapy is performed, the cellulite
area develops increased blood and lymphatic flow, decreased
fibrosis of the connective tissue, and reduction of the
fat deposits. The net result is a smoothing of the skin
and reduction of cellulite.
Because of mesotherapy's ability to
reduce fat deposits, it is a wonderful alternative to liposuction.
The mesosculpting technique uses mesotherapy to reduce spot
areas of fat accumulation. For patients who do not wish to
undergo the risks of liposuction, mesosculpting is the answer.
There are over 15,000 mesotherapy practitioners
in France, as it is a separate medical specialty in that country.
Fortunately, we now have it in the United States. Call for
your consultation to learn if mesotherapy can help you with
