What is the treatment like?
Mesotherapy involves injecting microscopic quantities of medications targeted where they are needed. They are formulated and tailored to the individual’s condition. Anywhere from 5 or more microinjections are delivered depending on the size of the area and condition treated. Mesotherapy stimulates the repair of the skin and connective tissues, dissolves adipose (fat) tissues, and increases circulation. Targeted regions of the body can be treated and the results are best elicited in combination with a healthy diet and exercise program.
Generally 5 to 15 treatments are recommended for best results. Areas of treatment can include:
- Thighs and hips
- Arms
- Saddlebags and love handles
- Buttocks
- Abdomen, pectoral chest, bra line
- Rejuvenates loose skin after pregnancy

A treatment section usually lasts 45 minutes.
How does Mesotherapy work on weight loss and spot reduction?
Mesotherapy may target specific areas or spots where your body stores excessive fat. It blocks the body from storing new fat and helps break down the existing stored fat cells and metabolize the fat (lipolysis). Your body then flushes out the metabolized fat. Mesotherapy is designed to dissolve fat pads or areas at targeted locations. It is not intended as a weight reducing method, although 5-15 pounds of weight loss is expected, depending on the size of the area being targeted.
How fast will I see results?
Results vary, according to your body type, treatment goals, and severity of the problem. Often times, patients report seeing results after a few sessions. For certain conditions, you may appreciate immediate results.
Will the results last?
Yes, the results will last. Mesotherapy is a permanent solution to cellulite and fat reduction. However, keep in mind that maintaining your weight loss and optimal sculpting results requires diet and exercise. You may elect to have touch up treatments from time to time.
What medications are used in Mesotherapy treatments?
Lidocaine
L-Carnitine
Aminophylline
Phosphatidylcholine
Hyaluronidase
What can I do to increase my chances of getting good results from Mesotherapy?
a. Diet:
Keep in mind the procedure is designed to help eliminate fat, but each individual’s eating habits will ultimately determine whether the patient will be able to keep the eliminated fat off. If a patient does not change his/her diet and eating habits, this will result in the patient re-accumulating the same body shape and figure that he/she started with, since his/her diet resulted in their current body shape.
b. Maintain good hydration:
Patients must maintain proper body hydration in order to maximize the results of this procedure. It is recommended that patients consume 64 ounces of water daily.
c. Exercise:
The procedure is ideal for patients that can maintain a moderate level of exercise/activity. It is not intended for the obese or sedentary patient, nor is it effective as a type of weight loss treatment. The procedure is designed for those active patients that are unable to eliminate those targeted isolated fat pads with their current exercise routine.
