Mesotherapy is an injectable treatment that is lesser known in the UK, but is very popular on the Continent. It can help to reduce cellulite and treat localised fat. The technique can also be used to improve skin tone, texture and leave your skin with a healthy-looking glow.
Mesotherapy is a series of very small (micro) injections - injecting small and measured amounts of different medications just under the skin to help treat the cellulite and localised trapped fat, improve circulation and lymphatic and venous drainage. The products we use are homeopathic products and FDA approved in the USA. There are many advantages to the Mesotherapy treatment. The treatment only requires small measures of the medication and is delivered directly into the problem area. Slight redness or swelling is possible but resolves within a couple of days. A topical anaesthetic cream is usually be applied. The treatment is given weekly or bi weekly for a period of 6-8 weeks.
Over time, localised fat cells enlarge causing a reduction in blood flow and drainage to areas of the body. This can starve the area of oxygen and reduce the body's ability to remove the toxins from the area. These fat cells become connected to fibrous tissue and results in the dreaded lumpy 'orange peel' effects or dimpled appearance on the surface of the skin. Cellulite is particularly a problem on the hips, thighs and bottom.
Over 90% of women have some degree of cellulite and even some men too. It usually appears between the ages of 25 - 35 and worsens over time.
Localised fat is fat which can be difficult to get rid of, even with a sensible diet and an active lifestyle. In women, fat cells on the lower half of the body store fat around 6 times more readily than those on the upper half. They also release them around six times less easily so this can make weigh loss from the lower half of the body terribly difficult, if not almost impossible. Fat dissolving enzymes can help.
There are many advantages to the Mesotherapy treatment. The treatment only requires small measures of the medication and is delivered directly into the problem area. This also dramatically reduces any side-effects and makes the treatment available to more people. The side-effects of the treatment are relatively minor and some people experience no side-effects at all. Slight redness or swelling os possible but resolves itself within a couple of days.
The type of Mesotherapy medications used is also an important factor. Our clinic chooses the Simildiet range as it has a proven safety profile over a long period of time. It was developed by a doctor, and it has full FDA approval in the USA. This all demonstrates the products efficacy and safety.
