FAQS |
 |
What is Mesotherapy? |
| |
Mesotherapy is a painless technique
of injecting a small amount of a customized mixture
of conventional pharmaceutical or homeopathic medications,
vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes into the
mesoderm - or middle layer of skin. These very small
doses of the substances are administered using very
tiny needles in specific areas depending on the condition
being treated. Mesotherapy is used to treat a broad
range of illnesses and pain conditions. This minimally
invasive approach has shown successful results in many
areas: sports injuries, hair regrowth, alopecia, and
cosmetic treatments. |

|
On what areas of the body can Mesotherapy be used
as a cosmetic treatment? |
| |
Mesotherapy may be used for cellulite,
body fat reduction, body sculpturing and weight loss,
facial rejuvenation (mesolift), and eye fat pads. All
of these uses have shown good results, but only after
a number of treatments have been performed |

|
|
What can I expect after a Mesotherapy treatment? |
| |
The office procedure takes less
than 30 minutes per session and requires little preparation
or recovery time. No heavy bandage or compression girdles
are required. The majority of patients experience minimal
discomfort with mesotherapy. Some patients may develop
minimal local pain, a minor burning sensation for a
few hours, and temporary bruising. Itching and soreness
may be experienced for a few days. Like any other injectable
product, an allergic reaction may occur in some people.
The procedure is performed in the office and takes minutes
to complete. |

|
Is mesotherapy different from liposuction? |
| |
Yes. Mesotherapy is a non-surgical
medical treatment. Mesotherapy removes the fat from
the fat cell, where liposuction removes the entire fat
cell. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that requires
anesthesia (local, regional, or general). Mesotherapy
does not require anesthesia nor recovery time. However,
mesotherapy is not a replacement for liposuction. Mesotherapy
is applicable for the reduction of small areas of unwanted
fat spots, cellulite and skin rejuvenation. Mesotherapy
is best suited for men and women who are not excessively
overweight but, instead, have certain problem areas
with stubborn fat that can no longer be reduced by diet
and exercise. These patients want liposuction but are
hesitant to undergo a surgical procedure. The downside
with mesotherapy is mainly that the results are gradual
when compared with the immediate results that liposuction
offers. Mesotherapy has shown excellent results to smoothen
and reduce uneven fat spots that may persist after liposuction,
thereby avoiding the need for additional touch-up liposuction
procedures. Mesotherapy and liposuction are not competitive
procedures but, rather, they complement each other. |
