Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is a technique in which medication is injected into the skin to permanently remove cellulite. Cellulite is caused by numerous factors, including poor circulation and fibrosis of surrounding tissue. The dimpled appearance of cellulite is caused by connective tissue bands that hold down the skin, trapping the fat and thereby causing the dimpling effect. The medications used in mesotherapy destroy the connective tissue bands and melt the trapped fat, creating a smooth, dimple-free appearance.  Using a very tiny needle (0.4 to 0.6 cm or the size of an eyelash), the medication is painlessly injected into the subcutaneous tissue.   Treatments are administered monthly, and patients usually begin seeing results by the fourth treatment. After four treatments, patients see a significant decrease in size, improved skin tone, and smoothing of cellulite.

Mesotherapy effectively treats fat deposits in areas such as the inner and outer thighs, waist, jowls, eye pads, abdomen and bra lines.  It is not an isolated weight loss program and is ideally suited for an already active person who has healthy eating and exercise habits.  Persons with a BMI over 30 are not considered optimal candidates for treatment.
