Frequently Asked Questions About Mesotherapy
What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a revolutionary new aesthetic treatment that functions as a no "down
time" alternative to traditioonal cosmetic procedures. A french general practitioner
named Dr. Michel Pistor developed this medical technique in 1952. He used
Mesotherapy to treat skin disorders, vascular diseases, sport related trauma,
rheumatoid conditions, and circulation improvement. At present, physicians are using
Mesotherapy for a variety of cosmetic treatments that include cellulite reduction,
stretch marks, scar revision, hair loss, spot weight reduction, and to improve the
appearance of skin laxity and wrinkles.

What is the treatment like?
During your Mesotherapy treatment, medication is injected into the middle layer of
the skin, also known as the mesoderm. These remedies are introduced in very small
doses to the areas that need treatment. Each skin condition or body area that you
would like treated demands a specific formula to achieve the desired result. For
example, skin rejuvenation would require a formula that includes nutrients, vitamins,
minerals, and hyalorunic acid. To effectively treat cellulite, several compounds are
injectedd to dissolve the connective tissues that produce "cottage cheese" appearance
and increases lymphatic flow.
The microinjections are relatively painless, so there is no need for anesthesia. You can
resume normal activities following your Mesotherapy treatment. The only side effect
you may experience is slight bruising from the injections.

What are the benefits of Mesotherapy?
~ Mesotherapy can be used to improve the appearance of cellulite, fat reduction,
wrinkles, and sagging skin.
~ Spot reduction and contouring areas of fat around locations such as love handles,
thighs, knees, double chins, eye fat pads, and saddlebags can be achieved.
~ Mesotherapy medications injected into your skin promote the production of collagen
and elastin, which will result in the improvement of the skin's appearance by reducing
the proliferation of wrinkles.
~ Side effects and contraindications associated with other treatments and medications
are minimal.
~ Tightening and toning of the area treated occurs with the return of skin elasticity
created by the enhanced production of collagen and elastin.
~ Treatments will slow down and reverse the progression of wrinkling and maintain a
more youthful and invigorating look.
~ You can return to normal activities immediately following your treatment.

How long do the results last?
Your lifestyle will determine how long your results last. As with any invasive
procedures such as liposuction, good dietary habits and exercise are necessary to keep
fat from returning. Since Mesotherapy is a natural process, your physician may
recommend a change in your lifestyle to maximize the overall duration.

How many treatments will I need?
The circumstances and condition of the area to be treated will determine the number
of treatments required to achieve your desired results. For example, the reduction of
cellulite requires more treatments than fat reduction due to the subsequent
regenerative process. During your consultation, the number and frequency of
treatments will be discussed.

What preliminary steps are there?
If you are considering treatment, a medical history and exam are required prior to
scheduling your first treatment. During your consultation, the medications your
physician will be using for your treatment will be reviewed. The Mesotherapy
microinjection techniques and formulas are unique. Each formula has been adjusted
to address the speicific condition that you would like to improve. In order for your
Mesotherapists to master the technique and obtain the necessary knowledge of the
proper formulas to be used, he or she must have proper training in Mesotherapy
procedures.
