What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a series of virtually painless injections placed directly under the surface of your skin. These tiny injections contain a custom mix of vitamins, minerals, medication and amino acids that work together to manipulate the fat cells in your body and is a wonderful alternative to liposuction.
Can anyone have Mesotherapy?
Patients who are physically fit and maintain a health diet generally achieve the most success from results from Mesotherapy. It is not suitable for pregnant women, patients suffering from insulin-dependent diabetes or severe heart disease. During your initial consultation, our medical practitioners will be happy discuss any medical conditions and medications that may affect your treatment.
What can I expect from Mesotherapy treatments?
Treatments generally take 30 - 45 minutes, and consist of small injections on localized regions of the body. Most people begin to see visible results after of six to 10 sessions; however, this is dependent on individual body types as well as the form of Mesotherapy you choose. Results and recovery time vary between patients.
Mesotherapy for Cellulite
Cellulite is a skin condition affecting over 90% of most women and men. Those with a slim figure often complain about cellulite's external visible symptoms: lumpy, dimpled, often discolored appearance. Cellulite can commonly appear on the hips, buttocks and legs, but is not caused by being overweight, as many believe.
Cellulite may appear in the subcutaneous level of skin tissue. Fat cells are arranged in sections surrounded by connective tissue. When water is retained, fat cells can be held within the perimeters of this area, expanding and stretching the connective tissue. Eventually this contracts and hardens (sclerosis) holding the skin at a non-flexible length, while the surrounding tissue continues to expand with weight, or water gain. This results
in areas of the skin being held down while other sections bulge outward, resulting in a lumpy, 'cottage-cheese' like appearance.
