Mesotherapy
Procedure:
Mesotherapy is performed to actually melt away unwanted localized deposits of fat from your body. During the mesotherapy procedure your doctor uses a very tiny needle (about the size of an eyelash) to paintessly make multiple injections of the medications into the targeted area. for overall weight lass your doctor may inject larger areas to cause a general dissolution of the fat over your body. When treating cellulite, one formulation of medications may be used to dissolve the fat and another to destroy the fibrous bands that bind the skin, in same cases, a special injection device may be used to deliver the injections.
Treatment averages about 10 sessions, spaced 1-2 weeks apart. Patients say the treatment is like a pinch ar bee sting. Some prefer to use local anesthetic cream applied thirty minutes prior tp their treatment.
Mesotherapy is custom-tailored for each individual. Unlike surgery, Mesotherapy is virtually paintless, has no downtime, no heavy bandages, girdles or anesthesia. Patients having Mesotherapy have no disruptions to their daily life.
Side Effect:
Mesotherapy side effects are limited because Mesotherapy is delivered directly to the target area. This reduces the possibility of drug interactions, and reduces the amount of medication required for each procedure. Since localized bruising is common, we suggest you discontinue blood thinners before your treatment.
Follow up:
There may be bruising. Some patients elect to use arnica cream and warm baths to relieve this. You should drink plenty of water during your course of Mesotherapy. Eight glasses a day will help flush out the breakdown products of the tissue. Aspirin, ibuprofen, or other anti-inflammatory or anthritis drugs should be avoided to reduce bruising, Mesotherapy is designed for fat sculpting, not weight reduction. For true qeight reduction and managment you should be on a good diet and exercise program. |
