What is mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a treatment that has been gaining popularity in the USA over the past decade – but it certainly is not new! Mesotherapy was pioneered by the French physician, Dr. Michel Pistor, over 50 years ago. Mesotherapy is the practice of delivering microinjections of conventional medications into the middle layer of the skin. Originally, medical conditions such as osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia and chronic pain were treated. Over the years, mesotherapy evolved to include treatments for aesthetic purposes like cellulite reduction, reduction of small areas of fat & body contouring, and even wrinkle reduction.
The problems with mesotherapy:
Mesotherapy consists of injecting medications to change the body with many needles (can be anywhere between 8-300 injections depending on the size of the area and condition being treated). A patient can have excellent results, but the procedure can be painful and result in trauma, bruising, swelling, nodules, and even skin color changes.
Our solution: Needleless Mesotherapy.
With dermoelectroporation technology, we are now able to transfer ionic solutions to deliver the active substances into the dermis without using painful needles. Not only does this procedure even the skin tone, but it actually affects fat deposits by breaking down the connective bonds of fat cells and naturally flushing them out of the body. As a result, patients can reveal smoother, cellulite-free legs, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, abdomen and even the area under the chin!
Is Needleless Mesotherapy comfortable?
Needleless Mesotherapy is a non-invasive treatment – so treatments are very comfortable! Some compare it to having a massage. No needle, no pain, no down-time, no bruising and no skin color changes!
How long do the benefits last?
Mesotherapy treatments are considered permanent as long as the patient maintains their weight with a healthy diet and a consistent exercise program. Maintenance treatments will help to keep areas sculpted and cellulite free.
Will I lose weight or inches?
Mesotherapy for fat reduction is more about losing inches and sculpting. People with large amounts of weight to lose are not the best candidates for the procedure.
How many treatments will I need?
This varies based on the area that is being treated. Generally, patients require 6-8 treatments at 1-2 week intervals. However, active people who are already at their optimal weight but have problem areas such as “love handles” or “saddlebags” may require fewer. Most people see significant improvement in 4 treatments. Overweight individuals may require more treatments. Maintenance treatments are recommended 2-4 times a year.

Types of Mesotherapy
MESOTHERAPY FOR CELLULITE REDUCTION
Cellulite affects more than 90% of the American female population. Afflicting slender, athletic, and sedentary types, cellulite does not discriminate. Contrary to the popular belief cellulite is not caused by being overweight. It is, however, known as a female disease because it mainly affects women.
In mesotherapy treatment of cellulite, the medications used:
- Restore blood flow to redundant circulation
- Dissolves excess fat deposits
- Destroys fibrotic, hardened connective tissue bands
- Improves and increases lymphatic function
Often people ask, “How does mesotherapy compare to liposuction?”

MESOTHERAPY FOR FAT REDUCTION AND BODY SCULPTING
In the mesotherapeutic treatment of fat for body sculpting, the medications used:
- Target the cell receptors responsible for fat storage and fat excretion
- Facilitate fat breakdown in resistant areas
- Facilitate transit of fat through the blood stream and excretion by the kidneys and bowel as in typical weight loss
Areas that can be treated with mesotherapy include buttocks, hips, thighs and legs, arms, back and bra lines, abdomen and waist, chin, cheeks and jowl areas.
Treatment for fat reduction and body sculpting generally entails 5-12 or more treatment sessions at 1-2 week intervals, followed by maintenance protocols 2-4 times a year.
