What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a safe, non-surgical cosmetic procedure utilizing both pharmaceutical and homeopathic medications. It is acclaimed as the only treatment to refine and eliminate cellulite. Mesotherapy promotes body sculpting with targeted fat reduction, and rejuvenates skin of the face and neck. Mesotherapy is a technique invented in 1952 by Dr. Michel Pistor of France. The personalized formula is injected into the mesoderm, the layer of fat and connective tissue under the skin. It is proven to reduce areas of fat and cellulite that do not typically respond to diet and exercise. Over the past 50 years, in excess of 15,000 physicians worldwide have used a form of Mesotherapy daily in the medical practices. It has been featured on many television programs such as 20/20, 48 Hours, Inside Edition, ABC News, as well as in many publications like Vogue, Elle, People, Allure, Harpers Bazaar, U.S. News & World Report. Mesotherapy is a fantastic breakthrough for cellulite treatment.

How does Mesotherapy work?
Mesotherapy is scientifically based on current medical practice in the medical literature. The formulas are vitamins, minerals, plant extracts, and FDA approved pharmaceutical drugs that are injected into the mesoderm, or middle layer of the skin, to “liquefy” the body’s fat cells, which will then be either burned as energy or is carried through the bloodstream and excreted by the kidneys and bowel, leaving a smooth and firmer appearance. The procedure takes only 30 minutes. Depending on the amount of unwanted fat and cellulite involved, 6 to 16 treatments are generally needed. Both men and women benefit from Mesotherapy. Mesotherapy has a variety of applications such as cellulite reduction, face and neck rejuvenation and body sculpting. Weight loss treatments are individualized and may require a longer term program. The injected solution is personalized and individually prepared depending on its specific treatment area. Unlike other aesthetic and medical treatments, Mesotherapy sculpting is administered directly to the targeted area for substantial desirable results. Mesotherapy is a painless, non-surgical alternative to liposuction. Our custom and personalized formulas both prevents cells from storing fat and helps break down existing fat cells. It can be used to spot reduce specific areas such as double chins, love handles, belly bulges, saddle bags and any other areas displaying fat pockets. The results are measured in inches because the fat is literally melted under the skin. Patients have lost up to six inches on their waist, hips and thighs. Mesotherapy is a safe, medical solution that refines and eliminates dimpling or the cottage cheese appearance. Cellulite affects the majority of women over the age of 20 and is caused by poor circulation to the skin, bound lymphatics, fat herniation and weakening of the connective tissues. Mesotherapy treats three factors involved in the cellulite formation: Reduce the fat in your cellulite, improve impaired circulation and break down damaged connective tissue – thereby smoothing the skin surface. Mesotherapy can treat cellulite located anywhere on the body. The skin will appear significantly smoother and refined. Most patients lose up to 4 inches circumference in the treatment area. Mesotherapy is the definitive aesthetic treatment for cellulite.

Is Mesotherapy Safe?

The medications have been used successfully in France since 1952 and are now available in the United States. During consultation, each client is skin tested to avoid allergic reactions to the medications. The most common side effect from Mesotherapy treatment is minimum bruising.
