Mesotherapy Treatment, Cellulite, Weight Loss
When dimples start appearing in the wrong set of cheeks, a new alternative therapy called mesotherapy might be the perfect answer.
Mesotherapy is the newest cellulite solution in cosmetic and aesthetic medical circles.
But what’s mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a medical treatment for spot fat reduction and cellulite treatment. You can forget about liposuction! After being used in France for over 50 years, doctors in the United States and Canada are now providing this procedure. Mesotherapy may help you get rid of fat and cellulite without undergoing surgery or liposuction. Mesotherapy - an alternative to liposuction. Reduce fat and cellulite!
Mesotherapy is a technique where small amounts of medication, vitamins and supplements are injected into the fat and connective tissue which makes up the middle layer of skin called the mesoderm.
Until recently, a travel abroad would have been the only way to have mesotherapy, but our highly skilled physicians at Pure Laser are now using it for cosmetic purposes, such as reducing cellulite and fat and diminishing puffy eyes.
Although not considered a weight loss procedure, Mesotherapy may be an alternative to liposuction since it is a non-surgical technique for spot weight reduction, sagging chins and eyelids, and for eliminating cellulite from heavy thighs, abdomen, hips and buttocks. Many patients claim to have immediate results for losing inches and some weight, for others mesotherapy results are take longer but are still very noticeable. Patients however, will have to watch their diets and exercise regularly to lose the fat and to keep it off.
Mesotherapy - an Alternative to Liposuction.
For those who find liposuction “over the top,” or who have already had liposuction and now find fat or cellulite returning or depositing in other areas, mesotherapy may be a viable alternative. Mesotherapy is used cosmetically to break down cellulite, improve microcirculation, increase lymph and venous drainage, and enhance collagen and tissue health. In the process, mesotherapy focuses on mobilizing fat from fat cells rather than removing fat cells as is done in liposuction.
Mesotherapy is generally considered a safe procedure and requires no anesthesia. The injections cause slight discomfort, similar to the pain experienced from waxing. The cost of mesotherapy varies based on the areas being treated and may run anywhere from 3 to 15 sessions depending on the severity of the problem being targeted.
