Mesotherapy for Cellulite Reduction

• The technique involves the injection of substances, which bring about the lysis of fat deposited in the subcutaneous tissue.
• The heat generated also opens up the blood vessels beneath the skin surface. This improves the circulation of blood and lymph, which is one of the contributory factors for cellulite deposition.
• The lysis of fat causes smoothening of the skin surface and decreases the appearance of cellulite
• About 6 to 10 sittings are required for the results to be obtained. They are spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart.
• The Mesotherapy treatment schedule is decided based on the stage of cellulite formation. In the early stages, fewer settings will suffice.
• The following medications are used as Mesotherapy injections either singly or in combination to have the best effect aminophylline, yohimbine, isoproterenol & melilotus. These agents induce local glycerol generation, which causes fat lysis and achieves its effects.

Mesotherapy is a good option against the other invasive procedures like liposuction. It is a day care procedure requiring 30 mins to 60 mins depending on the area to be covered following which the person can even resume work. Therefore, the economic loss in terms of absenteeism from work is not applicable. In addition, as compared to liposuction, the recovery time is very fast and the procedure itself is well tolerated by many. Overall, the cost for Mesotherapy is much less than liposuction.

Mesotherapy is a specialty branch and must be undertaken only with specialists having adequate experience. This treatment is completely safe when performed by a well-trained physician.
