What is body mesotherapy?
Body mesotherapy is a technique, especially effective in the treatment of cellulite and local thickness.
With body mesotherapy, lipolysis occurs, since the substances that are placed under the skin in an injectable way, have fat-dissolving properties, offer firmness and a more youthful appearance to the skin.
Because the procedure involves injecting the material through multiple nostrils (small piercings), the healing process is activated by the body, resulting in better blood circulation to the skin, and therefore increased cell renewal in the application area.
Main application points
Buttocks and Thighs
Belly
Knees
Arms
Procedure
Using a very fine needle, a material that combines substances with fat-dissolving and firming properties is placed in the mesoderm.
The main substances are phosphatidylcholine, deoxycholic acid and organic silicon.
The combination of these ingredients works to reduce the image of the orange peel, however, it makes the skin firmer and more elastic, as it also offers hydration, thus giving it a more youthful appearance.
This is because, with body mesotherapy, there is better blood circulation to the skin (microcirculation), thus increasing the production of collagen and elastin in the application area.
Benefits
- Reduce the image of orange peel to a very large extent
- Reduction in the amount of fat in the application area
- Better microcirculation
- Improving the image and texture of the skin
- Better tissue oxygenation in the area
- Skin tightening & hydration
- More youthful appearance of the skin
- Improving the contour of the application point
A big "plus" of body mesotherapy is that it does not require recovery time, so you can return to your daily activities, without many restrictions.
Result and repetition of sessions
The results of body mesotherapy are seen on average after the first 2-3 sessions. Of course this also depends on the size of the problem to be treated and the body type of the person.
The sessions are held at intervals of 1-2 weeks.
It usually takes 4-6 repetitions of the treatment to achieve the desired result, while then the maintenance phase begins where the procedure must be repeated 1-2 times a year to maintain the result.
Body Mesotherapy: Before & After
Local fat
Body mesotherapy offers a great improvement in cellulite and can reduce the local thickness to a degree.
But when it comes to more fat, there are alternative treatments that are more effective in treating localized fat than body mesotherapy.
One of them is Microlipo. This is a mini liposuction, which is done under local anesthesia, while it offers permanent removal of fat cells, i.e. a permanent result with a single application and has a very short recovery time.
Combine body therapy with a balanced diet and regular physical exercise for even more spectacular results with longer duration!
Carboxytherapy for local fat and cellulite
Carboxytherapy is an effective treatment to fight cellulite, local thickness, stretch marks and scars.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does body mesotherapy hurt?
We can not use anesthetic cream on extended areas of the body, but ice is applied as a trick to reduce the painful stimulus.Yes, it is a somewhat painful process, but it is the price you have to bear for a cellulite-free body.
Can body mesotherapy be done in the summer as well?
Yes, but it is necessary to use sunscreen with a high protection index, in the application area, to avoid freckles and discolorations.
Is there any preparation before body mesotherapy?
If the treatment is applied to the feet, for example, it is recommended to avoid shaving the area, as the razor can cause skin irritation and can make the procedure more painful. In addition, you should avoid taking aspirin for about 1 week before starting treatment.
