WHAT IS MESOTHERAPY? For those who find liposuction "too much", those who have already had liposuction and now find fat depositing in other areas as well as those with cellulite, Mesotherapy for fat loss and body contouring is the perfect answer. Mesotherapy involves the injection of small amounts of medication, vitamins and amino acids into the mesoderm. The substance is placed just 4 to 6 millimeters under the skin into the problematic area through a series of tiny and almost painless micro-injections to deliver healing or corrective treatments. The technique was pioneered by Dr. Michel Pastor in 1952 and was given formal recognition by the French Academy of Medicine in 1987. Mesotherapy has been used in the treatment of acne, arthritis, joint problems and sports injuries, as well as for cosmetic purposes, such as reducing cellulite and for weight loss. While each Mesotherapy treatment may involve a great number of small injections, these can be quickly administered. Mesotherapy blocks the body’s ability to store fat and stimulates the body’s ability to burn fat. It is not considered an alternative to an educated and healthy lifestyle, but is a very useful tool for weight loss & skin rejuvenation. Mesotherapy has a wide variety of other uses, depending on the needs of the patient. These include fighting infections, relieving pain and muscle spasms and re-growing hair. However one of the most common usages is for the treatment of cellulite, skin toning, removing stubborn fat and weight loss. Obviously the combination of substances injected would depend on the desired effect. Mesotherapy has many advantages. It eliminates the side-effects and contra-indications associated with the many medications. Often medications intolerance is due to the fact that medication reaches parts of the body that has no need for it. Because the target area is reached immediately and the substance is at the correct concentration, the amount of the drug needed is greatly reduced and the effects can be realized more rapidly. The only side-effect is the possibility of minor bruising. Mesotherapy is virtually painless, requires no down-time, no bandages or anesthesia. TREATMENT PROTOCOL: After a thorough evaluation, the target areas are identified and market. After disinfecting the skin, the micro-injections are administered. These are various methods of injecting, such as injection guns, multiple needle administration apparatus and ordinary syringes and small gauge needles. The injection procedure is carried out every two weeks for 8-10 sessions. In the week between the treatments, the patient must have and Endermologie treatment to smooth the area and encourage circulation. Contact the Refinement clinic 014-592-9204 for a free consultation.
