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!
