What are
Mesotherapy & LipoDissolve?
Mesotherapy is a technique, invented in 1952 by Dr. Michel
Pistor, where medication is injected into the dermis which
is the middle layer of skin. Over the past 50+ years, in
excess of 15,000 physicians world-wide have used
Mesotherapy on a daily basis for a variety of purposes,
including overall weight loss, spot weight reduction,
cellulite reduction, hair loss, scar revision and wrinkle
elimination. LipoDissolve is a variation of Mesotherapy
used for spot-fat reduction.
In Mesotherapy and LipoDissolve, very small doses of
different medications are administered in specific areas,
depending on the condition being treated. All medicines
used are FDA-approved for their use. In combination,
medicines for Mesotherapy and LipoDissolve are used for
off-line purposes. An illustration of this distinction
involves BOTOX®.
Although BOTOX®
was FDA approved for controlling muscle spasms, the
medical community embraced it for its cosmetic properties
of controlling wrinkles. For many years, plastic surgeons
and dermatologists used BOTOX®
for off-line purposes.
How Do Mesotherapy & LipoDissolve Work?
The medications that are used in Mesotherapy and
LipoDissolve melt the fat beneath the skin and shrink the
fat cells in the scarpa's fascia layer. The fat dissolves
and, as occurs when fat is broken down during typical
weight loss, is carried through the bloodstream and
excreted.
Cellulite is caused by connective tissue bands that hold
down the skin, trapping the fat and thereby causing the
"dimpling" effect. The medications used in Mesotherapy
destroy the connective tissue bands and melt the trapped
fat, creating a smooth, dimple-free appearance.
