Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy was developed by Dr. Michel Pistor in France, where it has been used since 1952. Indicated primarily for treating pain that originates from injured musculoskeletal tissues, the technique involves the injection of a combination of vitamins, drugs, and supplements into the mesodermal or middle layer of the skin. The dermis acts as a time-release dosing system, allowing very small amounts of medicine to be absorbed over an extended period of time.The treatments are said to dissolve fat so that it can be excreted by the body.
An Alternative Treatment to Liposuction
Mesotherapy may be the only NON-surgical treatment available for “spot reduction “and body sculpting in areas where diet and exercise have failed , such as the thighs, abdomen , hips, love handles, buttocks , waist, and upper arms. Losses of 2-to -6 inches may be possible .One of our patients experienced a loss of 12 inches in the thigh area.
How does mesotherapy help eliminate cellulite and wrinkles?
The puckery look of cellulite results from a deficiency in the venolymphatic system. Since mesotherapy injections reach the subcutaneous fat, they can break down fat nodules as well as improve the venous and lymphatic flow. For cellulite as well as wrinkles, mesotherapy is best used in conjunction with an overall program to improve health, including correcting hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, dehydration and diet.
Do the injections hurt?
Injection depths typically range from 2mm to 6mm with extremely small needles. If the clinician pinches the skin prior to the injection, the patient may not even feel the needle sticks.
At Laser Skin Rejuvenation Center we care about the ultimate comfort of our patients. During your consultation, Dr. Kobobel will discuss a variety of options to help minimize discomfort.
What compounds are used in mesotherapy injections?
Mesotherapy solutions generally contain a base solution consisting of a local anesthetic and a vasodilatory pharmaceutical drug. Other medicines are added, depending on the condition being treated. Substances fall into the categories of vasodilators, anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, decontractants, proteolytic enzymes, biologics (such as vitamins, minerals, and plant extracts), vaccines, anti-infectants, hormones, hormone blockers, general medicine physiologics, and anesthetics. For example, in rheumatoid arthritis, plant and pharmacologic agents are used to control inflammation. For cellulite, a vasodilator to increase blood flow, a stimulator of lymph drainage, and a lipolytic agent to break down fat tissue would be used.
