Mesotherapy



What is Mesotherapy?
Dr. Michel Pistor, a French physician, pioneered Mesotherapy in the 1950s. It is a painless injection of vitamins, minerals, medications, and amino acids injected just under the surface of the skin. Mesotherapy has a variety of applications including rejuvenation of the face and neck, cellulite reduction, spot weight reduction, and hair regrowth. Unlike surgery, Mesotherapy is a painless procedure, requires no post-operative recovery time, no heavy bandages or girdles, and no anesthesia is necessary. While many surgical procedures require one to two weeks of recovery, patients undergoing Mesotherapy have no interruptions to their daily life, while obtaining a natural cosmetic rejuvenation. Just a "drop" of solution is used at each injection site.

What are the uses of Mesotherapy?
Face and Neck Rejuvenation / Mesolift

Mesotherapy used on the face and neck is also known as Mesoglow and Mesolift. Complex Multi-Vitamins are injected into the face. These products are antioxidants and they stimulate collagen production as well as inhibit melanin and regulate microcirculation. Minerals and Trace Elements may also be used. These products provide support and essential elements to the normal functions of the skin such as turn over and repair.

Hyaluronic Acid plays an important role in tissue hydration, lubrication, and cellular function resulting in increased smoothness, softening, and decreased wrinkles. Aging, sagging and wrinkling of the skin occurs from accumulation of fat, loss of skin elasticity and excessive free radical damage. The effects rejuvenate the face, eyelids (under eye bags), and neck without the unnatural appearance and painful recovery of surgical face lifting.

Hair Regrowth / Alopecia
Alopecia, the loss of hair, affects both men and women. Alopecia results from poor circulation, nutritional imbalances, and the excess of a hormone known as DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Mesotherapy can correct these problems, stimulating the body to naturally grow lost hair.

Weight Loss
For those patients seeking weight loss, Mesotherapy is a revolutionary and essential tool. Blocking the signals of fat accumulation and simultaneously triggering the release of stored fat modify the biology of the fat cell. The desired area of treatment can be patient specific, targeting your most problematic areas. A complete dietary and nutrient evaluation will help you maintain your weight loss goals.

Cellulite Reduction
Cellulite affects the majority of women over the age 20. It is caused by poor circulation, fat herniation, a weakening of connective tissues, lymphatic congestion and hormonal imbalances. Cellulite is classified into four stages, based upon its appearance while standing, laying, and pinching the skin. Causing a dimpling and cottage cheese appearance of the skin, cellulite is not a disease of excess weight. Mesotherapy treatment is targeted to correct these problems by improving circulation, strengthening connective tissues, and dissolving excess fat.

Body Sculpting
Contouring of the abdomen, arms, back, legs and hands can be obtained with Mesotherapy. Vitamins and amino acids are used to tighten sagging skin while other agents are used to remove areas of fat, restoring a more youthful and athletic appearance to the body's contours.

How should I prepare for Mesotherapy?
Before treatment, avoid intake of Aspirin or anti-inflammatories for 3 days. After treatments, massage areas with Vitamin K containing cream.

What results can I expect?
The results obtained with Mesotherapy are dramatic. After completing a series of treatments, generally over a three-month period of time, patients can notice improvement in skin quality, less dimpling of the skin, and weight reduction including a loss of approximately ten pounds and one to two clothing sizes. For those undergoing treatment of hair loss, regrowth can begin just weeks after the first procedure. After approximately six months, areas of baldness are revitalized, replaced by normal growing hair. For those suffering from sagging skin and poor skin quality of the face and neck, a "mesolift" may be beneficial. The results are both immediate in the form of face glow (Mesoglow) and long-term in the form of better elasticity, skin firmness-tonicity, and even skin retraction (Mesolift).

How often do I have to administer Mesotherapy?
For facial use, generally, 1 session is needed every 2 weeks for a total of 4-6 sessions with maintenance required every 3 months. For weight reduction or cellulite, 10 sessions are needed usually done once every 2 weeks to improve saddlebags, hips, thighs, waist, love handles, back fat, and chin when the medicine is placed in these areas.
