Frequently Asked Questions-Mesotherapy-

1.What is Mesotherapy ?

 

Mesotherapy is a medical specialty that involves injecting microscopic quantities of natural extracts, homeopathic agents, pharmaceuticals and vitamins into the skin. It can be used to eliminate cellulite, promote weight loss, treat aging skin and redundant (sagging) skin, and rejuvenate the hands and neck.

 

2.What are the benefits of Mesotherapy over surgical techniques such as liposuction ?

 

Liposuction does not treat cellulite. In fact, liposuction often causes existing cellulite to appear more prominent. Mesotherapy treats cellulite directly, promoting smoother skin and reducing fat in selected areas. Fat deposits are flushed from the body, and do not reappear in other areas, which often occurs after liposuction. Mesotherapy does not require hospitalization, general anesthesia or downtime.

 

3.How does Mesotherapy promote weight loss and spot reduction ?

Our customized formula prevents cells from storing fat, and helps break down existing fat cells. Spot reduction targets double chins, love handles and any other areas displaying fat pockets

 

3.Are there any side effects ?

 

Micro-injections are relatively painless, and the potential side effects limited to:

Burning that can last 15-20 minutes

Minor swelling that can last 1-5 days (this can vary with some patients).

Minor soreness that can last several days.

Minor skin discoloration, which resolves on its own, or can be treated with chemical peels to remove it quickly.

A slight risk of infection (which may occur whenever an injection is administered).
