How Mesotherapy Helps with Weight Loss, Cellulite, and Aging Skin
August 2011
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment used to treat various medical and cosmetic ailments. It’s often used as part of a weight loss program in Beverly Hills for people interested in losing weight. Mesotherapy is a widely used treatment method to eliminate cellulite and localized fat cells, and is sometimes used to treat wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, and acne.
Because mesotherapy flushes fat deposits from the body, breaks down damaged connective tissue, and improves circulation, it aids in smoothing the surface of skin, reducing or eliminating the appearance of cellulite. Mesotherapy injections can be used to treat unwanted cellulite located anywhere on the body.
Pioneered by Dr. Michael Pistor, a French physician, in 1952, mesotherapy targets an individual’s problem areas by microinjections of homeopathic and conventional amino acids, vitamins, minerals, herbal/plant extracts, hormones, enzymes, and pharmaceutical medicines. These injections are made directly into the middle layer of the skin to breakdown and disintegrate fat deposits. Mesotherapy is also believed to aid blood circulation.
Besides being one of the treatment methods in a weight loss program and a procedure for combating cellulite, mesotherapy is used as an anti-aging solution. Injected in small amounts, a mesotherapy procedure helps rejuvenate aging skin on the neck, hands, and other areas of sagging skin. In some cases, the procedure is used for treating hair loss.
Mesotherapy can cause side effects, ranging from mild to severe, including bumps, rashes, skin abnormalities, and infections. In addition to these side effects, you could also develop scarring, lumps under your skin, and skin discoloration.
