Mesotherapy Cellulite Treatment

Mesotherapy is a non-surgical procedure for removing excess surface body fat and the appearance of cellulite. It can also be used to restore hair loss, treat arthritis and anxiety, and improve body contouring. It can help tone up the face, chin, and neck areas and help melt away fat pockets around the eyelids.

How Does The Mesotherapy Cellulite Treatment Work?

Small injections are administered to the cellulite problem areas. These injections contain a blend of vitamins, medicinal herbal extracts, pharmaceutical agents (such as aminophylline), and some homeopathic remedies. These ingredients are designed to melt away the fat pockets directly under the surface of the skin as well as increase blood circulation to the cellulite areas. Aminophylline is a common fat-burning medication. Fat cells have Alpha and Beta receptors. Above the waist, women have an equal alpha/beta ratio, but below the waist, it becomes uneven because the alpha-receptors are stimulated by carbohydrates and fat ingestion as well as alcohol intake. Aminophylline helps the beta-receptors burn that excess fat more efficiently which helps reduce cellulite.

Some Things You Should Consider

Some other medical ingredients that can be incorporated into Mesotherapy are Phosphatidylcholine (PPC), Hyaluronidase, L-Carnitine, and Lidocaine. All these are designed to help break down fats, dissolve them, and then eliminate them from the body. Lidocaine is a natural anesthetic that is helps block any pain or discomfort from the injection.

Depending on the severity of the cellulite and the size of the area that requires injections, a person can have anywhere from 6 to 10 weekly sessions before complete results are seen. One mesotherapy session takes about 30 minutes and requires no anesthesia. There are very little side effects except for some possible bruising at the mesotharapy injection site.

Risks and Drawbacks of The Mesotherapy Cellulite Treatment

1. Mesotherapy has not been approved by the FDA. There have been no clinical trials that have proven that it is an effective treatment for cellulite.
2. The side effects from Mesotherapy include burning, swelling, or pain at the injection site for several days as well as some minor skin discoloration. As with any injection, there is always a risk for infection.
3. One common concern is that the injection "blend" varies depending on the medical professional administering it. Before you ever have anything injected into your body, find out what exactly is in the ingredients used.

The Cost of Mesotherapy Cellulite Treatment

One mesotherapy treatment session can cost anywhere between $250 and $800, depending on the provider. The cost is also based on the size of the area treated and the ingredients used in the injection. So, make sure you get all the necessary information up front so you are not surprised by the bill later. Keep in mind that a number of injection treatments will be required for adequate results, so the costs will add up.

Supporters of Mesotherapy say that the results are permanent IF you combine them with proper diet and exercise. Also, they say that you may need "touch-up" work every 6 to 8 months. How that is "permanent" is beyond me! There are definitely more cost effective treatments you should consider such as cellulite creams.
