Do you have "love handles" or "saddlebags" that no amount of dieting or exercise seems to touch? Would you prefer not to undergo plastic surgery?

Mesotherapy (also known as meso-lipotherapy) is the exciting new medical alternative to liposuction for spot fat reduction and cellulite treatment. The procedure is administered through a series of micro-injections to permanently dissolve fat.

Discovered in 1952 by French Physician Dr. Michel Pistor, mesotherapy is the practice of painlessly injecting small amounts of medications, amino acids, vitamins and minerals into the fat and connective tissue that makes up the middle layer of skin called the mesoderm. The technique was first used to treat such conditions as vascular diseases, sports trauma, infectious diseases, rheumatologic diseases, and to improve circulation.

Soon after its discovery, physicians started using the technique for aesthetic improvements. Mesotherapy has a variety of applications: spot fat reduction, cellulite reduction, hair rejuvenation, scar revision, improvement of the quality and tone of skin and the reduction of wrinkles.

Safety

Meso-lipotherapy is a cutting edge alternative to liposuction, plastic surgery and other invasive cosmetic procedures. A recent four year clinical study proved both the effectiveness and safety of mesotherapy when properly administered under the supervision of a physician. Thousands of patients around the world have benefited from these treatments.

Mesotherapy is completely safe when performed by a well-trained physician. In fact, during the 50 years that Mesotherapy has been practiced, no deaths have occurred as a result. Compare this to liposuction, which causes approximately 100 deaths per year.

How Does It Work?

The customized mesotherapy formula injected in a specific area blocks the cells from storing fat and helps break down the existing fat cells. After a mesotherapy treatment, your body naturally flushes out the broken-down fat. Spot fat reduction can be used on the stomach, waist, thighs, arms, butt and any other area where your body stores large pockets of fat. Diet and exercise always maximizes your mesotherapy results.

Mesotherapy and Cellulite

Mesotherapy is the most effective and long lasting treatment of cellulite available. More than 90% of women are affected by some degree of cellulite. This condition is a disfiguring source of shame and embarrassment that literally affects a person's confidence and overall sense of well being. Before Mesotherapy came to the United States, there was no cure for cellulite. Fortunately, Mesotherapy has been a safe and successful cellulite treatment in many European and South American countries for years. We will select and create a mesotherapy formula based on your degree of cellulite. During treatment, the formula is painlessly injected into the cellulite at regular intervals along the affected area. Cottage cheese and dimpling fade away permanently.

The Mesotherapy Procedure

Prior to a mesotherapy session, your doctor will identify and map the area to be treated. Once the area is mapped, the site is cleansed with alcohol, and the patient placed on the treatment table before micro-injections are given. During the procedure your doctor uses a very short and thin needle making multiple injections of homeopathic medications traditional pharmaceuticals, vitamins, mineral and amino acids into the targeted area. All medications are selected for the specific condition being treated. For overall weight loss your doctor may inject larger areas to cause a general dissolution of the fat over your body. When treating cellulite, one formulation of medications may be used to dissolve the fat and another to destroy the fibrous bands that bind the skin. Mesotherapy is custom-tailored for each individual. Unlike surgery, mesotherapy is virtually painless. There are no heavy bandages or girdles that need to be worn and one can resume work with relatively no downtime.

Who can have Mesotherapy?

Adults between the ages of 18-75, who are within 50 pounds of their ideal body weight and in good health are candidates for mesotherapy for spot fat or cellulite reduction.

If you have any of the following conditions, you are NOT a candidate for aesthetic Mesotherapy:

• Pregnant
• Breast Feeding
• Insulin dependent diabetes
• Taking blood thinning medications
• Taking multiple heart medications
• History of recent cancer

What are the side effects of Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy performed by a trained physician has very few side effects. The most significant side effects are black and blue marks, a 15- to 20-minute burning sensation, mild to moderate soreness for 1-5 days, and (as with any injection) a slight risk of infection. All patients return to work the same day.

Mesotherapy usually causes slight bruising which goes away after 3-7 days. Swelling from mesotherapy is mild and lasts only a few days. Some patients notice a little itchiness for 2-3 hours after their mesotherapy session.

With mesotherapy injections there are no scars, no anesthesia, no stitches, no down-time.
