Mesotherapy/LipoShape
 

   Mesotherapy is a safe and effective alternative to surgical liposuction.

Pioneered in France in 1952 by Dr. Michel Pistor, Mesotherapy did not arrive in the United States until 2002. It is based on the simple principle of delivering conventional and/or homeopathic medication and vitamins directly into the mesoderm (middle layer of skin). In 2004, the German equivalent to the FDA has deemed Mesotherapy safe and effective. General anesthesia and post-operative recovery times are eliminated and so are unsightly unevenness and dents that may be caused by surgical liposuction. 

Our personal mean EMC numbers after 5 or more treatments are:

Full Abdomen: 5 1/2"

Arms: 2 1/4"
Thighs: 4 1/4"

Buttocks: 2 1/4"

What does Mesotherapy treat?

• MesoSculpt - (Fat deposits) Love handles, bra bulge, saddlebags, inner/outer thighs, stomach pooch, knee pads, jiggly arms, double chins, and other pesky fat deposits

• MesoGlow - Immediate, healthy glow with long term benefits of improved elasticity and firmness. This trace mineral, vitamin, and anti-oxidant infusion is painless and state of the art for face, neck, and hands.

• MesoLift - A series of injections filled with amino acids, trace minerals, and antioxidants placed strategically to lift sagging, aging and environmentally damaged skin

How is Mesotherapy performed?
Mesotherapy consists of multiple injections with a very fine needle. The area is first treated with an anesthetic lotion, therefore the procedure is virtually painless. The number of treatments vary according to the patient. We recommend between 5-15 per area.

What are the advantages of Mesotherapy? Mesotherapy is a non-surgical with little or no down time with generally no systemic side effects. It does not require a general anesthesia and can even be done on a lunch break. There is no risk of dimpling, scarring, rippling, or denting. With mesotherapy you can lose up to 4-6 inches per area. So far, the highest inch loss was collective around an abdomen and totaled 15.5 inches. Mesotherapy can also be used to treat many different areas.

What are the side effects of Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy has generally no side effects. Bruising, redness, itching or burning sensations and tenderness in varied degrees may occur. As with all medical procedures where the skin integrity is compromised the possibility of infection exists. By following the set preventive guidelines the risk of infection is minimized. We have performed over 1500 procedures without complications or infections.

Does Mesotherapy Replace Liposuction?
In many cases Mesotherapy offers an alternative to even the safest form of liposuction. Mesotherapy is a non-invasive alternative supported by a 1994-95 study on "topical fat reduction" by UCLA researchers. This study concluded women who had Mesotherapy injections lost weight even without diet or exercise. Mesotherapy has no deaths. The major concern with Mesotherapy are bruising, swelling, transient nodules and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark shadows from bruising that may last several month).
 

Who is a Candidate for Mesotherapy?
Generally, most healthy adults. If you are pregnant, on blood thinners, an insulin dependent diabetic, have a history of blood clots or strokes, are an organ transplant recipient or HIV positive, Mesotherapy may not be a choice.
