Mesotherapy
Skintology is now pleased to offer an alternative to both traditional methods of liposuction as well our own SmartLipo and BodyJet procedures. For the person who seeks only minor touch-ups or is otherwise averse to even the most minor surgery, we are happy to introduce mesotherapy.
With Mesotherapy, the fat cells themselves are not removed; rather, a series of injections are made in problem areas, which alter their structure through the use of medications, enzymes and amino acids. This process causes fat cells to break down and enter the blood stream where your body’s natural waste system then flushes them from your system. Patients may prefer this to other fat removal treatments because fat cells typically do not reappear in other areas and hospitalization and general anesthesia is not required. Topical anesthesia is administered to eliminate the slight discomfort associated with the injections which are performed over the course of several weeks. Additionally, there is minimal risk involved which is usually limited to minor swelling and/or bruising around the injection sites for a few days. There is also minimal recovery time and patients can return to work within a few hours.
Mesotherapy works for both Men and Women
Mesotherapy presents a revolutionary treatment of cellulite and fat, acheiving dramatic results without the drawbacks of surgery. Using micro-injections of conventional and homeopathic medications, plant extracts, vitamins and nutrients, mesotherapy targets specific hard to reduce areas of the body. Each patient has their formula specially customized to address their specific needs and body type.
Mesotherapy eliminates fat with little recovery time
Mesotherapy offers the advantages of traditional liposuction, such as the elimination of love handles and bulging stomachs, but does not require general anesthesia, surgery, unsightly bandages, medications or downtime. In most cases you can be ready to go back to your normal daily routine within hours of the procedure.
Mesotherapy sculpts the body
Our non-surgical body-sculpting program offers the body a natural, aesthetically pleasing contour. Many patients who have had traditional liposuction have chosen Mesotherapy for touch-ups and follow ups due to its ability to correct asymmetry and unevenness which may have resulted from the surgery or from subsequent weight gain.
Mesotherapy Can Eliminate Cellulite
Cellulite is a common skin condition with visible symptoms; even slender and fit people may have dimpling or lumpiness to areas including the legs or buttocks. Dieting and exercise are not effective as they do not address the causes of cellulite formation such as defective non-elastic connective tissue, local water retention and swollen fat cells.
Mesotherapy For Facial Skin Rejuvenation
Mesotherapy may also be used in connection with a facial skin rejuvenation procedure which results in a glowing appearance and helps tighten skin that has suffered due to age and loss of elasticity. For best results, a physician uses microinjections of amino acids and vitamins into the mesoderm (middle layer of the skin), nourishing the skin from the inside, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, and improving blood flow. This firms and tightens the skin creating a radiant and youthful appearance.
What should I expect at each treatment?
For 2-3 days prior to each treatment, we suggest that you take homeopathic arnica tablets to help reduce swelling and bruising which may occur. Prior to administering the procedure, topical numbing cream is applied to ease the discomfort of the injections.
Are there other instructions or restrictions associated with this procedure?
We suggest the following:
Avoid caffeine and other stimulants prior to treatment.
Do not wear make up for at least four hours after facial treatments.
Avoid intensive physical activity for at least 48 hours after treatment.
Do not shower for at least 6-8 hours after treatment.
If you are regularly taking vitamins, stop for a couple days prior to your treatment.
Do not take Aspirin, Advil or Ibuprofen as this will increase the bruising.
We recommend avoiding treatment during your menstrual period and during pregnancy.
