Mesotherapy
This treatment contains various substances, including FDA-approved drugs, vitamins, and minerals. It is used for various purposes, such as eliminating cellulite, reducing excess weight, body contouring, hair strengthening, treating hair loss, and rejuvenating the face and neck.
What Issues Can Mesotherapy Treat?
This substance enters the fat layer and subcutaneous tissue, known as the mesoderm.
The composition used in mesotherapy varies depending on the individual and the specific area that needs to be treated.
Mesotherapy can also help reduce muscle pain, decrease fat tissue, and treat hair loss in both men and women.
Mesotherapy is usually used to treat and relieve skin problems, including:
Cellulite
Stretch marks
Dry and flaky skin
Loose and sagging skin
Dark circles under the eyes
Sun-damaged skin
In addition, many patients visit us simply for a "mesolift," which uses mesotherapy to lift the facial skin.
Mesotherapy for Rejuvenation
For mesotherapy rejuvenation, 4 sessions are needed at 2- to 3-week intervals. This is one of the most popular uses of mesotherapy, as patients notice a significant improvement in their facial skin.
Mesotherapy for Hair
Mesotherapy for hair is a treatment that involves injecting vitamins, minerals, and a mix of essential amino acids into the scalp. This method allows the nutrients responsible for nourishing hair follicles to be easily absorbed by the hair. Using this method can thicken thin hair, stop hair loss, and make hair stronger and shinier.
Mesotherapy for Weight Loss
The weight loss results of mesotherapy cannot be compared to those of liposuction. Liposuction is the most effective and fastest method available for fat reduction. However, mesotherapy is less expensive and less invasive, and is effective on smaller amounts of fat.
Comparison of Mesotherapy and Liposuction
Pain: Mesotherapy is considered relatively painless due to the use of numbing creams before injection, whereas liposuction often causes pain during the recovery weeks after surgery.
Scarring: Mesotherapy virtually leaves no scars, though mild swelling and bruising may appear for a few days. In contrast, liposuction can cause moderate to severe scarring.
Sedation: Mesotherapy does not require sedation, and patients can leave the clinic shortly after the treatment.
How Many Mesotherapy Sessions Are Needed for Weight Loss?
Usually, 2 to 4 sessions (injections) at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks are required. Depending on the area to be treated, the number of sessions may increase. Since mesotherapy does not cause significant weight changes, it is generally recommended for patients needing to reduce small amounts of fat in specific areas, like body contouring.
Side Effects of Mesotherapy
Since mesotherapy is directly injected into the desired area, it has limited side effects. Reported side effects include:
Immediate or delayed allergic reaction to the drugs
Inflammation and swelling
Bruising at the injection site
Scarring at the injection site
Who Should Consider Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is effective for a wide range of facial and body issues, so patients of any age and gender can use this method.
