Mesotherapy

Pioneered by the French physician Dr. Michel Pistor in 1952, Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that is widely used in Europe and elsewhere to treat various injuries and medical conditions. This medical specialty targets problem areas with microinjections of conventional or homeopathic medicines, vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Tiny "medicinal bullets" are delivered directly into the mesoderm (middle layer of skin) that are highly specific to the condition being treated. Among its many applications, Mesotherapy can be used for the following:
Mesotherapy to eliminate cellulite
Mesotherapy to promote weight loss
Mesotherapy to provide anti-aging benefits
Mesotherapy to eliminate localized fat deposits Mesotherapy ( Mesotherapie) was recognized by the French National Academy of Medicine in 1986 as an integral part of traditional medicine. Each day, thousands of doctors worldwide use Mesotherapy to help tens of thousands of patients.
Mesotherapy is a technique, invented in 1952 by Dr. Michel Pistor, where medication is injected into the mesoderm, the layer of fat and connective tissue under the skin. Over the past 50+ years, in excess of 30,000 physicians worldwide have used Mesotherapy regularly for a variety of purposes, including overall weight loss, spot weight reduction, cellulite reduction, hair loss, scar revision and wrinkle elimination. In 1987, the French Academy of Medicine recognized Mesotherapy as an inherent part of traditional medicine. The International Society of Mesotherapy encompasses 14 countries throughout Europe and South America. Mesotherapy is a technique using very small doses of compounded medications that are administered in specific areas, depending on the condition being treated. The medicines and plant extracts used are typically obtained from compounding pharmacies in most countries, although Europe mass manufactures many products that are prohibited for import into most other countries.
All medicines used are FDA-approved for their use. In combination, medicines for Mesotherapy are used for off-label purposes. A recent illustration of this distinction is Botox. Although Botox was FDA approved for controlling muscle spasms, the medical community embraced it for its cosmetic properties of controlling wrinkles. For many years, plastic surgeons and dermatologists used Botox for off-label purpo
Mesotherapy strengthens elastin fibres, stimulates collagen production, fights free radicals and stimulates cellular activity. Patients report Your can expect good results in your patients - loose skin to appear firmer and look younger and healthier, fine lines will be reduced and skin will “glow” as a result of Mesotherapy Treatments. Many Mesotherapists practice the specialty of Medical Aesthetics because of the beautifying effects it has on the skin. Wrinkles, cellulite and skin rejuvenation are the most effective complaints successfully treated with Mesotherapy. Mesotherapy in combination with Botox for whole face treatments are also revealing overwhelming results. The primary reason these injections are so effective for wrinkles and cellulite is that when administered correctly the injections reach not only the different layers of the skin, but the subcutaneous fat as well, helping reverse the physiology. CelluliteCellulite is a condition in which abnormal "nodules" of fat form in the midsection and thighs, more commonly in women than men. This gives the appearance of a ruffling of the skin. The condition is caused by abnormal physiology in the skin and subcutaneous fat. It involves a type of insufficiency in the venolymphatic system. Mesotherapy injections are given to not only improve the venous and lymphatic flow, but to also break down the fat nodules. The solutions generally consist of a vasodilator, lymph flow stimulator, and an anesthetic. Because cellulite involves an abnormality in fat accumulation, Mesotherapy injections should be done in conjunction with a comprehensive natural medicine program designed to improve overall metabolism. This would have the effect of increasing weight loss and improving overall health. Hormone imbalances are often at the core of the problem and need to be corrected to have maximum benefits. If the underlying physiology is corrected and maintained, then Mesotherapy is done in an initial series. If it recurs, then the process will need to be repeated. WrinklesWrinkles, like other conditions involving the skin, have a multi-factorial etiology.Excessive skin wrinkles can be caused by: overall dehydration, excessive sun exposure, genetics, facial expressions, muscle atrophy, fatty acid deficiencies, hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and many other causes. As with cellulite treatment, it is best to utilise Mesotherapy for wrinkles in the context of a comprehensive natural medicine program to correct some of the above causes. For the person with stress and increased muscle contraction in the forehead, Botox injections can be given along side the Mesotherapy treatment. MesoBotox is a the term which involves injecting multiple small doses of BOTOX into the skin of the face to reduce the action of sweat and sebaceous glands as well as the superficial layer of facial muscles which are responsible for those very fine, annoying lines of the forehead or under the eyes. The net effect is improved sheen of the face with smooth skin, tighter pores and yet the ability to move all the deeper muscles of the face thus retaining a natural, non “plastic” appearance. Patient feedback has found that MesoBotox is a welcome complement to traditional BOTOX injections.Excessive wrinkles can also be a sign of advanced or aggressive aging, which emphasizes the need even more to utilize Mesotherapy, along side of a comprehensive Mid-Life Medicine regime. This may involve the use of regenerative therapies, natural hormone replacement, nutraceuticals, appropriate metabolic-type diet, and other Mid-Life Medicine measures. As with cellulite, Mesotherapy for wrinkles may often need to be repeated after the initial series. Skin Rejuvenation - MesoliftThe aging process can be cruel to our skin - Between sun damage and progressive collagen loss, the skin loses its plumpness and resiliency. Mesotherapy skin rejuvenation or “Mesolift” infuses the dermis with potent vitamins and anti-oxidants to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin. People who have had a “Mesolift” describe their skin as firm, radiant, youthful and glowing. The "Mesolift" is usually performed in an initial series of 2-4 treatments spaced a week apart. Results are maintained by twice a year touch up sessions. Lipolysis - MesoSculpting - “The New Liposuction” Is it possible to get rid of fat without having some kind of invasive procedure?...This has long been a question pondered by many. The Mesotherapy Treatment procedure that uses Phophatydlcholine, also known as "MesoSculpting" or "Lipodissolve" is proving to answer the question with a resounding "yes".MesoSculpting for fat loss and body contouring is great news for patients who find the idea of liposuction “too much”. It is also the answer to those patients who have already had liposuction and have been left with the fat deposits around the area they had the liposuction surgery done. These fat deposits post liposuction surgery is quite common. MesoSculpting involves microinjections using various formulas. All formulas must contain Phosphatydlcholine to achieve the lipolytic effect. The injections are given directly into the areas being treated i.e. love handles, bra bulge, saddlebags, inner thighs, arms, knees, eye fat pads, double chin etc.

  1. Great article! Mesotherapy can be a great way to help with fat loss, especially in a case where you just need help with that last bit of fat that won't go away with diet and exercise. The homeopathic concoctions in mesotherapy injections help to encourage fat loss by breaking down fat cells. Using natural substances and vitamins, mesotherapy reduces fat deposits significantly. I hope this helps!
