What is mesotherapy?

People who suffer from chronic pain which is resistant to conventional medical treatment, should try this relatively new method. Not only that the procedure is highly efficient, but there are no major side effects. Unbelievable, you will say… but in year 1952., dr Michel Pistor invented a method which does not require complicated technological support, but combines the practice of conventional medicine with traditional Chinese medicine, fitotherapy and homeopathy. This method is named MESOTHERAPY because the medicine is injected into the middle layer of the skin, ( meso is middle in greek ), as close as possible to the area where the pathological process is taking place, without damaging the internal organs (i.e. liver,stomach,kidneys).

The needles used in mesotherapy are very tiny, thus causing only mild discomfort, even to people who are having needle-phobia. During the procedure, usually the patients are given the combination of 2 or more active ingridients, which act in synergy, requiring only 1/10^th of standard quantity of each drug.

Due to its simplicity and efficiency, this method is accepted and practised worldwide.

The following outline is a standard estimate of what each mesotherapy treatment entails
(the number of injections and amount of medication varies from patient to patient):

Fat Reduction/Weight Loss: Usually 2 to 4 treatments (injections) are required at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks. Depending on the problem area, the number of procedures could increase. Because mesotherapy treatments for weight loss do not produce drastic changes, it is generally recommended for patients who require a little fat reduction in specific areas, as with body contouring.

Cellulite Reduction: Approximately 3 to 4 treatments are necessary at intervals of 3 to 4 weeks. While cellulite treatment is the least effective of the mesotherapy options, it is nonetheless successful in dealing with mild degrees of cellulite.

Lower Blepharoplasty: 1 or 2 treatments are recommended at 6 week intervals (at times the second treatment is not necessary). For Lower Eye Belpharoplasty, the patient should take cortisone prior to the procedure, and the swelling could possibly last for up to 6 weeks.

Facial Rejuvenation: 4 treatments are required at 2 to 3 week intervals. It is one of the most popular mesotherapy treatments, as satisfied patients notice a substantial improvement in their facial appearance.

Needless to say, mesotherapy treatments are here to stay. Many people are welcoming this simple, non-surgical procedure into their arms…or thighs….or face.
