Mesotherapy in California
After 50 years of use in France and other European countries, doctors in the United States are now utilizing this non-surgical procedure. Mesotherapy may be able to help you get rid of fat and cellulite without undergoing any kind of surgery. Mesotherapy is a medical treatment that uses a combination of medications and vitamins to attack small fat pockets and cellulite. The solution is injected into the fat and connective tissue with a very small needle or a "gun" which allows for faster treatment. The treatment is applied to the middle layer of skin, called the mesoderm. Mesotherapy can also be used for hair restoration and treating that puffy spot beneath the eyes. Mesotherapie (pronounced "me-zo-therapy") was originally invented in France by Dr. Michael Pistor and has been performed there since 1952. Dr. Pistor's discovery revealed that when tiny amounts of medications were injected into the mesoderm, blood flow would increase naturally to the treated area, resulting in a dissolution of excess fat deposits, an improvement in lymphatic drainage, and a softening of hardened connective tissue. Because of Mesotherapy's less invasive nature, it may be an alternative to liposuction for some patients. Mesotherapy is in no way considered to be a weight loss procedure. Patients undergoing this treatment still have to maintain a careful diet and regular exercise to permanently lose the fat. If performed by a qualified physician or nurse, Meso therapy is generally considered a safe procedure and does not requires anesthesia. The micro-injections can cause slight discomfort, but the sensation is no more painful than waxing. What does mesotherapy cost? Based on the areas being treated, the price varies from $200 to $600 per session. Some doctors may have packages for multiple treatments, which may run anywhere from 3 to 15 sessions depending on the severity of the problem. With any medical procedure there are risks involved, and with a new treatment like mesotherapy and you should carefully discuss these risks with your doctor. California Health and Beauty recommends consulting at least 2 different mesotherapy doctors before committing to any procedure.
