 No matter the season or what the weather,
extra fat and cellulite are never welcome to a spa girl. And, if hitting the gym
and eating healthily aren’t producing the results you’re looking for,
medical spas are where it’s at for offering slimming treatments to keep
your bum looking less bumpy and thighs looking a little less thick. One such treatment
is Mesotherapy.
What
it’s all about:
A Mesotherapy
treatment consists of any injection of medication into the skin, fat or other
tissues of the middle layer of skin (the mesoderm). After being developed by French
physician Dr. Michel Pistor in the early 1950s and modified up until present day,
Mesotherapy
has become a popular non-surgical offering in medical spas worldwide. Medical
spa Mesotherapy
generally introduces microscopic quantities of homeopathic medications, traditional
pharmaceuticals, vitamins, minerals and amino acids through multiple shallow injections
into the skin. Most commonly, though, Mesotherapy
is used to reduce the appearance of cellulite, promote weight loss or revitalize
aging skin. It has also been used to treat acne, stretch marks, scars and wrinkles.
Therefore, depending on the desired result, different types
of medication or vitamin-rich substances are injected into the mesoderm. For example,
the emphysema medication Aminophylline is used in Mesotherapy
to treat cellulite because it has been proven to break down the fatty tissue that
causes cellulite. What to expect:
During
a Mesotherapy consultation, your Health Care Professional will determine what
sort of medication will best suit the area you are treating. So, Mesotherapy
injections are not one-size fits all; Mesotherapy
“cocktails” should be formulated specifically for those receiving
the injections. Once the Health Care Professional determines
the best medication (or combination of medications) for you, he or she will numb
the area to be treated with a topical anesthetic. The anesthetic will dull the
slight burning sensation common to Mesotherapy
injections. Next, the Health Care Professional will perform anywhere from 20 to
50 swift injections (depending on the size of the area to be treated) at the site
of the procedure with a small, thin needle. Following the
procedure, most patients experience a bit of discomfort, and may also experience
swelling, bruising, tenderness and itching to varied degrees. Keep
in mind:
Before you rush out to your favorite spa to indulge in a
Mesotherapy
treatment, ensure that your Mesotherapy
treatment is the best it can be. Because all people react differently to medications
and substances, be sure that your physician performs an allergy test before trying
a full Mesotherapy
treatment if the drug Procaine will be used in your treatment. This will help
avoid any serious allergic reaction. Also, most Health Care Professionals who
administer Mesotherapy
suggest their clients undergo five Mesotherapy
treatments at two to four week intervals to see optimal results. So, stick with
a medical professional who is able to perform all treatments personally. Plus,
be sure to choose an experienced Medical Professional who can show you “Before
and After” photos from the clinic’s own procedures. Finally,
stay active after your procedure. Medical professionals encourage patients to
exercise regularly and keep a healthful diet to maximize the effects of Mesotherapy
treatments.
