Mesotherapy

 

Pioneered by the French physician Dr. Michel Pistor in 1952, Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that is widely used in Europe and South America to treat various injuries and medical conditions. In basic terms, Mesotherapy involves injecting a customized formula of substances just under the surface of your skin – the mesoderm – in order to treat a variety of different conditions. The mesoderm is the skin’s middle layer and supports connective tissue, muscle, fat, as well as your circulatory system. This medical specialty targets problem areas with microinjections of homeopathic medicines, vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Tiny “medicinal bullets” are delivered directly into the mesoderm that are highly specific to the condition being treated. The purpose of injecting small amounts of nutrients and vitamins into the skin is to bring about healing properties to the treated areas. People from all age groups can benefit from this procedure.

Mesolift: A Natural Alternative to a Surgical Facelift

Sun damage, exposure to toxins and an unhealthy lifestyle lead to premature aging and you are left with wrinkles, tired sagging skin and an ashen complexion. This aging process causes poor circulation, resulting in a loss of nutrients, vitamins and decreased collagen production. Mesotherapy is an excellent alternative to a surgical facelift. It is a minimally invasive procedure which involves injecting a customized formula of homeopathic remedies, vitamins, minerals and amino acids into areas being treated. With just a few treatments your skin will regain a more youthful, rested appearance. You can expect your skin around the jowls to tighten, the wrinkles on your face and neck to be less visible, and bags around your eyes will decrease.

Mesosculpting: A Natural Alternative to Liposuction

The injections used for Mesotherapy melt the fat beneath the skin and shrink fat cells in the fascia layer. The fat dissolves, is carried by the bloodstream, filtered through the kidneys and excreted from the body.

Mesosculpting is used to treat specific areas on the body affected by cellulite. This is a safe and effective alternative to Liposuction. The treatment is approximately 30-60 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated. With minimal bruising and swelling the patient can easily return to their daily activities immediately after treatment. Most people require 5-10 treatments, spaced 1-2 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. Following a naturopathic lifestyle, which includes eating healthy foods and exercising, will help maintain the positive results.
