Mesotherapy: a clinical cocktail for weight loss, face and neck rejuvenation, and cellulite reduction

What is Mesotherapy?

Pioneered in the 1950’s by French physician Michel Pistor, Mesotherapy is a safe, non-invasive procedure that involves the use of microinjections to administer medications into the mesoderm (middle layer of the skin). This treatment allows the delivery of medicines to specific areas of the body. It is the latest breakthrough for cellulite reduction, skin rejuvenation, improving skin tone, decreasing fine lines, and even body-sculpting. For the right candidate, Mesotherapy can be an excellent alternative to tumescent liposuction.

What can Mesotherapy do?

Mesotherapy has a variety of applications such as weight loss, cellulite reduction, face and neck rejuvenation, and hair regrowth. Each treatment is patient-specific and the injections make use of customized mixtures of vitamins, amino acids and other medications suited to the patient’s needs.

Unlike other medical treatments, Mesotherapy is administered directly to the problem area, thereby limiting side-effects and reducing the possibilty of drug interactions. It allows for a substantial reduction in the amount of medicine utilized for each treatment.

What kinds of Mesotherapy are available? What can I expect during treatment? And when will I see results?

At the Belo Medical Group, we offer many types of Mesotherapy. These are:

• Mesolift: A cocktail of amino acids and multi-vitamins is delivered into the face and neck through microinjections, using the nappage or scratch methods. Treatments are spaced 1-2 weeks apart for 4-6 sessions and monthly maintenance may be done.

• Mesolipo: This combines the French and Brazilian methods and makes use of a combination of medicines that dissolves fat and improves skin tone. The medicines are injected into the fat layer every 2 weeks for a minimum of 4 sessions. Swelling and tenderness on the treated sites are expected after each session and may last for a couple of days. The discomfort is tolerable but for those who have a low pain threshold, a mild pain reliever may be taken. For better results, Lipolite can be done simultaneously with Mesolipo.

• Mesocellulite: An effective way of getting rid of cellulite making use of multivitamins and medicines that help break hardened fat. Multiple sessions are required and done every 2 weeks. For optimum results, Mesocellulite can be combined with Lipolite treatments.

• Mesoscalp: A combination of multivitamins, hormones, and minerals is injected into the scalp to stimulate improved hair growth. This results in healthier-looking hair and scalp. Treatment is done weekly and 15-20 sessions may be necessary. Mesoscalp is helpful in cases of falling hair, thinning hair and spot baldness (Alopecia areata).

• Meso for Oily Skin: A combination of minerals and medicines to help control oily skin is delivered into the face through microinjection using the nappage or scratch techniques. Treatment is usually administered weekly for about 6 sessions and can be done together with facial treatments.

• Mesowhite: Whitening solutions and vitamins are injected into dark problematic areas, like the armpits and facial hyperpigmentation. These medicines help break the pigments, allowing the area to lighten in color. Again, mutiple sessions are required and are spaced 1-2 weeks apart. Topical whitening medications can still be applied to maximize results.
