Dissolve fat with painless injections!
How Mesotherapy Works
The procedure involves a series of small, relatively painless, injections just below the skin which act to mobilize & melt away fat. Target areas are typically areas that are noticeably problematic such as the buttock, abdomen, waist, thighs, and under the arms. Other areas which respond favorably include the face, chin, and below the eyes. Mesotherapy works exceptionally well on cellulite as well. Usually, multiple small injections are given during each visit, and treatments vary from 6 to 10 visits depending on how extensive the area being treated is. The concept behind Mesotherapy involves a combination of medications, such as vitamins, supplements and other drugs, which mobilize and burn away fat. Many physicians agree that fat is mobilized to muscle tissue which then expedites the fat burning process.
Mesotherapy provides numerous benefits in the following areas: Weight Loss, Fat Reduction, Cellulite Reduction, Hair Re-growth / Alopecia, Face and Neck Rejuvenation (Mesolift), Body Sculpting, as well as a variety of medical uses such as with arthritic pain and treating anxiety.

The Medical Miracle of Mesotherapy...
HAS FINALLY ARRIVED TO THE UNITED STATES
Most people find that they have certain localized areas of fat deposits, and believe that if these areas were eliminated, their body image, as well as their self esteem, would greatly improve. These areas typically occur in the abdomen, buttock, "love handles," "saddle bags," hips, thighs, under the arms, as well as the chin and face.
Before an actual description of the procedure itself, let's take the celebrity singer, Roberta Flack, for example. Ms. Flack had been battling weight issues for years and discovered the benefits of Mesotherapy. She discussed her positive results on CBS' 48 HOURS and following that, additional reports were broadcast on ABC's 20/20, GOOD MORNING AMERICA and other national shows as well. After 48 HOURS rebroadcast the interview, more interest was generated and people began searching for doctors qualified to perform this procedure.
Mesotherapy is a treatment which originated in France by Dr. Pistor and has been performed there since 1950 with enormous success. There are over 15,000 physicians practicing Mesotherapy around the world. Only in the past 5 years or so has this procedure become available in the United States. Currently, there are only a handful of physicians in the United States who have received expert training and are qualified to perform Mesotherapy.
TYPICAL QUESTIONS FROM PATIENTS
How many treatments are necessary to create the desired effect?
Treatment will naturally vary depending on many factors such as the size of the area being targeted. Thinner patients with problem areas suck as "love handles" or "saddle bags" may require fewer treatments. Typically, however, patients require between 6 to 10 visits. Many patients are pleased with their results even after the first visit. The effects are progressive and more noticeable results are achieved as the treatments go on.
How is Mesotherapy different than Liposuction?
Mesotherapy is significantly different than liposuction. For one, Mesotherapy is not a surgical procedure and general anesthesia is not needed. Mesotherapy is a simple, outpatient procedure, with no recovery time. Other than the obvious differences in performing the procedure, the results are also significantly different. While liposuction actually removes fat cells, Mesotherapy removes the fat from within the fat cell. This contributes to the natural appearance in which Mesotherapy shines. If one gains weight after Mesotherapy, the fat will simply return to the treated area, unlike liposuction, where fat can migrate to places where there were no problems before.
How much does Mesotherapy cost?
The procedure typically starts at $250 per visit for a treatment area. The initial consultation is free. Multiple treatment areas and visits paid for in advance will also be discounted. An example of a treatment area is the thighs, abdomen, buttock, arms, etc. Mesotherapy to the face, specifically the "Mesolift," costs $500 per visit. Fewer treatments are typically performed in this area.
How long will I experience the benefits of Mesotherapy?
The procedure can be permanent provided a healthy diet is followed. If fat does return, it should return in an even fashion, unlike liposuction which often does not. Areas can be retreated as needed. After receiving treatment for cellulite and the "Mesolift" procedure, maintenance should be performed at 6 months to 1 year.
What are the side effects?
The procedure is very safe. Bruising may occur afterwards, but usually subsides within a few days to a week. Specific vitamins and creams can help minimize the potential for bruising.
When will I be able to return to work?
Since there is no down time, you can return immediately after the procedure. The procedure itself takes less than 30 minutes and there is no recovery time.
Are these treatments painful?
Patients have described mild discomfort. The needle itself is extremely thin, similar to an insulin needle. Patients do not experience severe discomfort during the procedure.
