Mesotherapy Cellulite
What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is the administration of substances injected locally. The amount of medication is small and administered via super-fine, short needles that allow for micro-injections throughout the area to be treated. The pharmacological action is maintained thanks to the repeated administration.
In the treatment of cellulite, Mesotherapy helps:
- Improve circulation with a draining and detoxifying effect
- Firm the skin by stimulating the physiological production of collagen and elastin
- Improving the appearance of “orange peel” skin
- Fat reduction when present
Which parts of the body can be treated with Mesotherapy for cellulite?
- The upper and lower abdomen
- The hips
- The outer thighs (“saddlebags”)
- The thighs
- The knees
- The arms
Is it painful, and what are the side effects?
- Mesotherapy is mildly uncomfortable
- You may sometimes feel a slight burning sensation (depending on the medication)
- Some bruising or bleeding
Do the substances used in mesotherapy cause intolerance and allergies?
The medications that are used for Mesotherapy are the same as those normally used systemically; it is, therefore, the doctor’s responsibility, with a careful medical history, to evaluate whether there are grounds for a potential allergy.
When do you see the results of Mesotherapy?
Depending on the type of cellulite, on average, you start to see an improvement after 3 to 5 sessions.
How long does the effect of Mesotherapy for cellulite last?
The results last if you maintain a healthy lifestyle, with proper nutrition and physical activity, otherwise they may be cancelled out. Cellulite must be considered a disease to be kept under constant control.
