Mesotherapy is a non surgical, minimally invasive treatment for a number of cosmetic problems. Cosmetic uses include the dissolving of cellulite and excess body fat as well as facial and neck rejuvenation.

In more recent years, the uses for Mesotherapy have expanded to include successful hair loss and scarring treatments. It has also been found to be beneficial for pain management.

There are two different procedures for Mesotherapy. The first method is the traditional method and uses a small needle to inject medication into the mesoderm. This method has been practiced successfully since the 1950s. The second method for Mesotherapy is a relatively new, laser type of procedure.

In the traditional procedure, an anesthetic is injected or applied in cream form to the area to be treated. The procedure requires the use of a tiny needle, about the size of an eyelash, which is used to inject a small amount of medication into the area being targeted.

The medication is usually a blend of vitamins, minerals, homeopathic medicines and traditional pharmaceuticals. This medication is introduced into the mesoderm, the layer of tissue and fat just under the skin. Patients typically report a mild pinching sensation.

The number of treatments required depends on the problem being addressed but a typical number of treatments ranges between 2 to 15. Treatments are usually spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart.

Results are generally noticed by the 2nd to 4th treatment. Recovery is quick with only mild bruising, itching, and swelling that last up to a few days after the procedure.

Mesotherapy is less expensive and far less invasive than Liposuction or cosmetic surgery, and the recovery process is much faster. Traditional cosmetic surgery can be quite painful and results in some scarring while Mesotherapy is relatively painless and causes no scarring.

It should also be noted that Mesotherapy treatment for face and neck rejuvenation does not paralyze muscles like Botox.

Healthy adults, between the age of 18 and 75, are good candidates for Mesotherapy. This treatment is not advisable if you have a history of stroke, blood clots, or recent cancer. It is also not recommended for insulin-dependent diabetics, pregnant women, or people with heart disease.
