WHAT IS MESOTHERAPY?
Mesotherapy, pioneered in the 1950’s by French physician Dr. Michel Pistor, is the painless injection of vitamins, minerals, medications, and amino acids into the mesoderm – or middle layer of skin. It has a variety of applications including weight loss, cellulite reduction, face and neck rejuvenation, acne, arthritis and joint problems, and hair re-growth. Therefore, the injected solution is individually prepared depending on its purpose. Unlike other medical treatments, mesotherapy is administered directly to the desired area. This limits side-effects, reduces the possibility of drug interactions, and allows for a substantial reduction in the amount of medicine utilized for each procedure. Treatment may be targeted to arms, waist, hips, back, and legs. Because fat is melted under the skin, about one pound of fat per week is lost, equal to four sticks of butter! Patients can lose up to two dress sizes with ten treatments!

GET RESULTS WITH MESOTHERAPY!

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.

Face and Neck Rejuvenation (Mesolift):
Aging, sagging and wrinkling of the skin occurs from accumulation of fat, loss of skin elasticity and excessive free radical damage. Using antioxidants and amino acids, mesotherapy can remove fat from under the neck, remove free radical damage, and tighten loose skin. The effects rejuvenate the face, eyelids, and neck without the unnatural appearance and painful recovery of surgical face lifting.

Cellulite Reduction:
Cellulite affects the majority of women over 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.

Weight Loss:
For those patients seeking weight loss, mesotherapy is a revolutionary and essential tool. This is how it works: the biology of the fat cell is modified by blocking the signals of fat accumulation and simultaneously triggering the release of stored fat. Again, the desired area of treatment can be patient specific, targeting your most problematic areas. Additionally, a complete dietary and nutrient evaluation will help you maintain your weight loss goals.

Hair Loss/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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

How many treatments are required?
The average patient requires 8-10 treatments. However, thin people with the problem areas such as “love handles” or “saddlebags” may require less, whereas obese individuals may require more. For acute conditions such as sports injuries, only 1-3 sessions may be needed.

What are the side effects?
Side effects are generally limited to bruising, which usually fade within one week.

Can I go back to work after the treatment?
Yes. The procedure generally takes 30 minutes and requires no preparation or recovery time. No heavy bandages or girdles are used.

Are the treatments painful?
The majority of patients experience minimal discomfort. For those with lower pain thresholds, a numbing cream or painkillers can be used.

How long do the benefits last?
Treatment areas will remain free of unwanted fat as long as the patient maintains a healthy diet and exercise. Treatments for cellulite and for Mesolift will require maintenance on a six month to one year basis. Treatment of acute conditions generally does not require maintenance treatments.

How many treatments are required before I see results?
It depends on the patient’s body. Some see results after 1 treatment session, while others may require 4-5 treatments to begin to see results. Often the patient’s clothing will become looser and friends and family will tell the patient they appear thinner. However, mesotherapy for fat reduction is more about losing inches than losing large amounts of weight.

How do I make an appointment?
