Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy, pioneered in the 1950’s by French physician Dr. Michel Pistor, is the painless injection of vitamins, minerals, medication and amino acids placed just under the surface of the skin. Mesotherapy is known for applications such as weight loss, cellulite reduction, face and neck rejuvenation, and hair regrowth. Mesotherapy also has a variety of medicinal uses. Treatment can benefit those patients suffering from muscle spasms, stress, insomnia, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, infections, RSD (reflex sympathetic dystrophy), and osteoarthritis, among other conditions. Such a wide variety of conditions can be treated with this technique as each treatment is formulated to meet each patient’s unique problems. Therefore, the injected solutions are individually prepared depending on its purpose. Unlike medical treatments, Mesotherapy is administered directly to the desired area. For example, the dosage of medication used to alleviate the pain of osteoarthritis is approximately 1/50th of the comparable, equivalent oral dose taken for a one-week period. This limits side-effects, reduces the possibility of drug interactions, and allows for a substantial reduction in the amount of medicine utilized for each procedure.

For those patients seeking weight loss, Mesotherapy is a revolutionary and essential tool. This is how it works: the biology of the fat cell is modified by blocking the signals of fat accumulations and simultaneously triggering the release of stored fat. Again, the desired area of treatment can be patient specific, targeting your most problematic areas. Additionally, a complete dietary and nutrient evaluation will help you maintain your weight loss goals.

Since alopecia results from poor circulation, nutritional imbalances, and the excess of a hormone known as DHT (dihydrotestosterone), Mesotherapy can correct these problems, stimulating the body to naturally grow lost hair.
Aging, sagging and wrinkling of the skin occurs from accumulations of fat, loss of skin elasticity and excessive free radical damage. Using antioxidants and amino acids, Mesotherapy can remove fat from under the neck, remove free radical damage, and tighten loose skin. The effects rejuvenate the face, eyelids, and neck without the unnatural appearance and painful recovery of surgical face lifting.

Contouring of the abdomen, arms, back, legs and hands can be obtained with Mesotherapy. Vitamins and amino acids are used to tighten sagging skin while other agents are used to remove areas of fat, restoring a more youthful and athletic appearance to the body’s contours.
