Mesotherapy is an exciting
and innovative treatment, fast becoming a formidable
weapon in our anti-fat arsenal. While new to the United
States, Mesotherapy is pioneered in France by Dr.
Michel Pistor in 1952. It has actually been in use
in Europe for over 50 years. More than 50,000 physicians
worldwide have used Mesotherapy successfully on a
daily basis for a variety of purposes, including:
| Overall

A handful of American doctors
are now certified to offer this novel therapy. Patients
can lose up to 2 to 6 inches off their waist and reduce
unsightly saddle bags, as well as fat on the hips, thighs,
waist, “love handles”, back, and chin. Bulging
fat in the lower eyelids can also be reduced. Unlike
liposuction, only the targeted fat is removed, so Mesotherapy
can be used for spot weight reduction and in the battle
against cellulite, a common and a difficult problem
to eliminate.
Mesotherapy treatment consists
of a series of injections containing a cocktail of medications,
vitamins, and supplements that are placed into the mesoderm
– the layer of fat and connective tissue which
lies just under the skin. “We inject nutrients
into the skin right where the cells need it,”
says Dr. Horowitz, a noted expert. The medications that
are used in Mesotherapy melt the fat beneath the skin
and shrink the fat cells. The fat cells then dissolve,
just as they would when broken down during a typical
weight loss program, and are carried through the blood
stream to be excreted from the body.
Mesotherapy also destroys
the connective tissue bands holding down the skin and
trapping fat, causing the “dimpling” effect
we call cellulite. The medications in the injections
then melt the fat that was trapped, creating a smooth,
dimple-free appearance. Although several treatment sessions
are usually needed to achieve the desired results, there
is no down time. In addition, as long as a good dietary
program is maintained, the fat that is lost through
Mesotherapy is permanent.
