Mesotherapy
is a technique developed in France. The skin is anesthetized with
a topical cream. Extremely tolerable injections of vitamins and
medicine are given in areas of fat accumulation. This could be the
lower face, neck, arms, back, love handles, waist, abdomen, hips,
thighs, saddle bags, knees and ankles. One pound of fat can be lost
with one treatment session. This is ideal for getting rid of that
area of fat that just will not go away despite diet and exercise.
It is also helpful for those individuals who are on a diet and weight
loss regimen.
Cellulite
is treated in a similar fashion. Medication is used that will break
down the thick collagen bands that cause the dimpling in the skin.
This is also useful after pregnancy to quickly eliminate the fat
gained with pregnancy and to get the body back into its prior shape
more quickly.
If skin
in an area is lax i.e., in the neck, under the arms, the abdomen
or above the knees, it can be treated with a solution of vitamins
and ingredients that stimulate collagen production. This will effectively
tighten the skin in these areas.

This
is a very safe technique practiced by approximately 15,000 physicians
in France. It was recently introduced in the United States. Usually
ten or more treatments are needed to treat significant areas of
fat accumulation or cellulite. Toning is usually accomplished in
six sessions. If a person is trim and has one area to be addressed
i.e., abdomen, then sometimes only two to three sessions are necessary.
Both my nurse and I have had this treatment and find it extremely
effective. Treatment is given in a very short time over approximately
twenty to forty minutes, depending on how many areas are treated.
Patients walk into the office and then leave to go about their normal
daily activities.
The only
significant side effect is bruising, which is temporary. The pain
from the very rapid injections is minimal.
What
do you have to lose? Just fat!
