Mesotherapy was invented in 1952 by Dr.
Pistor. It is a technique where medication
is injected (using a very fine needle) into
the fat layer of the skin, melting the fat
beneath the skin and shrinking the fat cells.
The fat dissolves and is excreted by the kidneys
without any problems. Mesotherapy may be used
for the purposes of cellulite reduction, weight
loss, and spot weight reduction. Cellulite
is caused by connective tissue bands that
hold down the skin, trapping the fat and causing
the dimpled appearance of the skin. Mesotherapy
injections melt the trapped fat, allowing
for a smooth dimple-free appearance of the
skin.
Our extensive experience in Mesotherapy has allowed us to come up with the
best combination of medicines, vitamins, and herbal extracts, depending
on the condition being treated. All medicines and plant extracts are obtained
from local pharmaceutical companies in the United States. Many factors are
taken into consideration to determine the most effective combination of
medication for each patient. We have perfected the technique of tailoring
mesotherapy medication to the patient's needs. At LA Laser Center, we have
treated over 600 patients and performed over 5,000 mesotherapy treatments
with an overall success rate over 90%.
Treatments are administered weekly and although variable, results are usually
seen after the fourth treatment. After ten treatments, patients see a significant
decrease in size, improved skin tone and decreased cellulite. All adults
in good health are candidates for mesotherapy. Patients who are pregnant,
on blood thinners, are insulin-dependent diabetics, on medication for heart
arrhthmias, or have severe heart disease are not candidates for cosmetic
mesotherapy.
Mesotherapy versus Liposuction
Mesotherapy is the nonsurgical alternative
to liposuction. Liposuction actually removes
fat cells whereas Mesotheray dissolves the
fat within the fat cells. Liposuction is associated
with downtime and restrictive garments that
need to be worn for at least two weeks after
surgery. There is no downtime associated with
Mesotherapy. Liposuction may be associated
with post-operative pain and bruising. There
is minimal pain or bruising associated with
Mesotherapy. Although liposuction can cause
irregularities and lumps, this does not occur
with Mesotherapy.
