Mesotherapy

When you’re trying to lose just a few pounds or restore a more youthful look you might be looking at a variety of treatments, remedies or surgical options.  Mesotherapy may be one of the options that you will hear about.

What is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is a cosmetic procedure that has been used for a number of different treatments including elimination of cellulite, promotion of weight loss and even anti-aging treatments. Various treatments have been going on since 1952.

The mesotherapy treatment involves injections of various compounds including vitamins, minerals and even amino acids into the middle layer of skin.  This non-invasive treatment might be the right option for those who are interesting in changing their look without the more drastic treatments offered by plastic surgery.

Comparison to surgical procedures

When you compare mesotherapy to liposuction, the most significant difference of course is that one requires hospitalization while mesotherapy can be done in a doctor’s office.  Liposuction also does not address cellulite (and in fact may make it more prominent) while mesotherapy can be used to target cellulite.  In fact, mesotherapy may be very beneficial to celluliete because it reduces the fat in your cell tissues improving circulation.

Will Mesotherapy make me look younger?

Depending on the anti aging treatments that you elect to have using mesotherapy, you may see rejuvenation of cells which promote stimulation of the underlying collagen and elastin in your skin allowing for younger looking neck, arms and even face and hands.  Mesotherapy offers none of the surgical risks of cosmetic surgery and may even be more beneficial over a longer time period.

Mesotherapy Results

Mesotherapy treatments must be combined with a sensible diet and exercise plan in order to ensure that the effects are lasting.  Naturally you’re going to continue to age even after you have mesotherapy treatments, which could require follow up mesotherapy treatments.

Healing Time

Most patients that have mesotherapy treatments might have some localized redness or tenderness, but there is no reason you can’t immediately return to your regular routine almost immediately.  Because there is no anesthesia involved, you’ll be able to go back to your routine within a short period of time.

The procedure/risks

Fortunately mesotherapy is relatively painful although as with any injection you may feel slight pinching or burning which can easily be addressed by the application of a topical pain medication prior to treatment.

There are few risks of side affects with mesotherapy, although you may have some localized bruising at the injection site.  Nothing more than a simple anesthetic spray or aspirin or other over the counter pain medication should be needed to control any discomfort.

Am I a candidate?

Unless you are pregnant or nursing or suffer from autoimmune disease you are probably a good candidate for mesotherapy.  Before you have this treatment or any other be sure to discuss any concerns you may have with the doctor who is going to perform the treatments.

Summary

There are no quick fixes that will help you if you don’t maintain a healthy lifestyle. Mesotherapy like many other cosmetic procedures will have far more lasting effects on those who have developed a healthy diet and exercise plan. Don’t trade your healthy lifestyle for an unhealthy lifestyle just because you’ve elected to have mesotherapy and risk the benefits.
