Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is an exciting aesthetic treatment that functions as a "no-downtime" alternative to traditional cosmetic procedures. Dr. Michel Pistor, a French general practitioner, developed this medical technique in 1952. He used Mesotherapy to treat skin disorders, vascular diseases, sports-related trauma, rheumatoid conditions, and circulation issues.
At present, physicians are using Mesotherapy for a variety of cosmetic treatments, including cellulite reduction, stretch marks, scar revision, hair loss, spot-weight reduction, and to improve the appearance of skin laxity and wrinkles. The main use of Mesotherapy is for local fat and cellulite reduction. Sometimes, Mesotherapy is a good alternative to Liposuction with no downtime and a procedure that can be performed during a lunch hour.
During a Mesotherapy treatment, medication introduced in very small doses is injected into the middle layer of the skin (mesoderm). Each skin condition or body area being treated will demand a specific formula. For example, skin rejuvenation would require a formula that includes nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and hyalorunic acid.
To effectively treat cellulite, several compounds are injected to dissolve the connective tissue that produces the so-called "cottage cheese" appearance and to increase lymphatic flow. These microinjections are relatively painless so there is no need for anesthesia. Patients resume normal activities following treatment. The only potential side effect is slight bruising from the injections. Some people develop temporary soreness and bumps in the treated area.
