What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a fat and cellulite treatment that
is practice by over 20,000 doctors in France. The Mesotherapy treatment
consists in injecting a micro amount of medicamentous substances
right under the skin, in the direct vicinity of the problem to be
treated. Mesotherapy is used for a variety of things including,
weight loss, Cellulite removal, face and neck rejuvenation, and
hair loss.
Mesotherapy origins
The origins and principle of the Mesotherapy is
a medical treatment consisting in managing drugs by microinjections
in the skin. This technique was developed in 1952 by Doctor Michel
Pistor a French doctor. The overall philosophy of Mesotherapy treatment
translated from French is: "To inject little, seldom, at the
good place". In other words, a drug must traverse the smallest
possible way. This philosophy is key to insuring that the solution
is injected to benefit the problem which one wants to deal with,
versus treating the entire body.
By using the localized Mesotherapy treatment philosophy
a Mesotherapy doctor avoids the problem of substances passing in
blood and from going in the stomach or the liver. With other type
treatments the body can be faced with unintended damage that is
often caused by the sometimes aggressive drugs.
What occurs at the first consultation?
To insure the body is maintained with proper care
during the treatment period the first consultation is very significant,
and should revolved around collecting much in the way of personal
background and health information. This is necessary because it
helps the doctor decide when and if to begin the treatment.
Do Mesotherapy injections hurt?
The Mesotherapy injection is almost painless and
is practiced without anesthesia. For individuals with more sensitive
skin it is possible to apply an anesthetic cream 1/2 hour before
the treatment.
What is the cost of Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy treatments range from $300-$550 per
area per treatment. An initial consultation and examination is needed.
The costs for these initial consultations typically run $250 to
$275. As with any treatment, Mesotherapy in Houston will cost less
than Mesotherapy in Los Angeles.
Are there Mesotherapy side effects that I should
be concerned with?
Barring allergy to a Mesotherapy ingredient, the
side effects are usually limited to bruising. The bruises as a rule
fade within one week. It is recommended that allergies and other
sensitivities should be discussed during the first consultation.
How long does the Mesotherapy
treatment take?
The procedure generally takes 30 minutes and requires
no preparation or recovery time.
Can I go back to work after the treatment?
The patient is able to return to work immediately
after treatment.
How long do the benefits last?
Doctors practicing Mesotherapy treatment claim
that the areas undergoing Mesotherapy treatment areas will remain
free of undesired fat as long as the patient continues to practice
healthy dietary habits and ongoing exercise. Mesotherapy treatments
for cellulite will require maintenance on a six month to one year
basis.
Will my insurance cover Mesotherapy treatment?
Because a Mesotherapy injection is considered an
elective procedure, insurance usually will not cover the procedure.
