Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy/ Lipodissolve Procedure The treatment does not require a local or general anesthetic, but some patients may opt for the application of a topical anesthetic cream prior to the procedure. Both Mesotherapy and Lipodissolve involve using a tiny needle to make many injection points just underneath the surface of the skin in the areas of concern. A very small amount of the medication is then injected into each of the needlepoints with a typical Mesotherapy or Lipodissolve treatment taking around 20 to 30 minutes to perform. Injections are recommended every two to three weeks with an average of six to ten treatments required, depending on the amount of fat and, in the case of Mesotherapy, the degree of cellulite or skin laxity. Gradual results can be seen within a few days of each treatment, once any swelling dissipates. Mesotherapy will not only reduce visible fat, but can also lessen the dimply appearance of cellulite.

Areas for Mesotherapy/ Lipodissolve Treatment The Mesotherapy and Lipodissolve treatments can be targeted for areas of hard and soft fat, including abdominal areas, love handles (flanks) upper and lower back areas, thighs, arms, knees, and the buttocks. Areas of cellulite on legs and thighs can be successfully treated with the Mesotherapy procedure, as well as excess fat on the neck and face. Most patients turn to Mesotherapy or Lipodissolve where targeted exercise and a healthy diet have failed to work to remove the stubborn areas of remaining cellulite or fat.

Mesotherapy/ Lipodissolve Recovery The procedures are minimally invasive and therefore have the advantage of a limited recovery time, with the patient noticing only a slight burning or redness in the area immediately following treatment. This usually subsides within a short period of time and can be alleviated with the use of over the counter pain pills and ice packs applied to the area in the first 24 hours. There may also be swelling and tenderness in the area, which will disappear within a few days. Patients can return to normal activities and work immediately following the treatment. At Lipo Body Sculpture of Houston, photos and measurements are taken before the treatments and following the treatment recovery period. On review four months after their series of treatments, some clients can lose eight to ten centimeters in treated areas such as the abdomen, with a significant contraction of the tissues and little residual skin. As with the Smart Laser Liposuction, VASER Lipo, or Smartlipo, regular exercise and a healthy diet are important to more effectively attain and maintain your desired body contour goals.
