We all know that diet and exercise is important when it comes to healthily slimming down. But sometimes there are pockets of fat that will not budge. When you're trying to lose weight or tone your body, any amount of fat that is noticable can be frustrating. That’s where mesotherapy treatments can come to the rescue.
What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a quick and painless method of contouring your body to your desired shape by reducing fat. It’s considered an superior alternative to liposuction because it is a non-surgical procedure requiring no anesthesia. This makes it safer, cheaper, and less painful than liposuction and other fat reduction methods.
How Do Fat Dissolving Injections Work?
Similarly to liposuction mesotherapy allows you to select exactly which areas you want to target. The method involves fat-dissolving injections with a hyaluron pen. We inject hyaluronic acid to the area that clients want to reduce fat cells. This helps increase blood flow and results in an inch of fat loss.
In addition to dissolving fat, your skin will have a rejuvenated, smoother look. According to Healthline, mesotherapy “uses very fine needles to deliver a series of injections into the middle layer (mesoderm) of skin. The idea behind mesotherapy is that it corrects underlying issues like poor circulation and inflammation that cause skin damage.” While Mesotherapy is not considered a weight loss program, it is sometimes used as part of a weight loss plan. Its results focus on losing inches and reducing cellulite in areas such as front and back of legs, inner and outer thighs, waist, abdomen, hips, face, double chin, buttocks, and bra area. The procedure can also benefit your skin. It can fade wrinkles & lines as well as smooth/tighten loose skin. It contours the body by reducing inches, lightens unevenly
pigmented skin, and can treat alopecia (hair loss).
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
While everyone’s treatment can be tailored more specifically to their needs, we typically recommend at least 4 treatments. Treatments are an hour each, and each hour costs $150.
Are Fat Dissolving Injections Safe?
Mesotherapy injections are considered to be a safe and painless procedure with mild or temporary side-effects. Some patients have reported slight swelling and/or light bruising near the injection site that goes away normally. Unlike plastic surgery/liposuction, mesotherapy causes no scarring and patients are able to walk out of the office after the treatment has concluded.
How Long Do Fat Dissolving Injections Last?
Mesotherapy benefits include a slimmer and more contoured body shape. Both men and women can expect to see these results last for anywhere between two to four years.
Fat Dissolving Injections Aftercare
After Mesotherapy injections:
● Do not wash or take a shower for at least 8 hours after your treatment. Refrain from hot baths for at least 48 hours after an injection. After the 48 hours period has
passed, clients are then limited to taking 15 minute hot baths.
● Refrain from exercising for at least 48 hours after your injection. Working out will
cause the solution to excrete through skin pores via sweat.
● Drink at least 64oz of water daily for at least a week, starting the day of your
procedure.
● Avoid direct sunlight for at least 48 hours after the treatment. Make sure that all
bruising has gone away. If you have to travel under the sun, make sure to use a
sunscreen with at least an SPF 25 or greater.
● Make sure to look out for redness or swelling at the injection site, if this occurs make sure to contact your physician for treatment options.
What Else Should I Consider to Determine if This is the Right Option for Me?
The ingredients in the injections are FDA approved, and the procedure is considered
extremely safe. The injections are made up of a combination of enzymes, vitamins,
hormones, and plant extracts.
Also, please prepare for your treatments by following the safety precautions below:
● No alcohol 2 days prior
● No aspirin or blood thinning medication 3 days prior
● No vitamin E, fish oil, salmon oil, or similar 1 week prior
