Answers

Mesotherapy is the practice of microinjecting conventional or homeopathic medication and vitamins into the mesoderm, or middle layer of skin. This process enables corrective treatment to a specific area of the body. The technique was formulated in 1952 by Dr. M. Pistor in France, and was recognized by the French National Academy of Medicine in 1986.

Mesotherapy is based on a simple principle: It is a medicinal bullet that is delivered directly to a target in the body. Orally-administered medication, on the other hand, must first pass through the gastrointestinal tract and get filtered by the liver. Only then is it released into the bloodstream. Thus, if a medicine is intended to treat inflammation in the knee, only a small portion of what is ingested actually arrives at the knee. Most of the medication will end up being distributed in diluted form throughout the body. By contrast, with mesotherapy a much smaller dose of the same medicine can be injected with a tiny needle near the knee, with the skin acting as an efficient time release delivery system.

The advantages of mesotherapy are numerous and include eliminating side effects and contraindications associated with many medications. In many instances, intolerance to a medication has to do with it reaching parts of the body that have no need for it. Often, the previously intolerant patient is often able to tolerate the drug in mesotheraputic form. When homeopathic medicine is used, the body will be stimulated to heal itself. And because the target area is reached immediately—and undiluted—the amount of medicine required is much reduced. This is more cost efficient, and the results are instantaneous.
The microinjections themselves are relatively painless.

Mesotherapy is used to treat a broad spectrum of illnesses and pain conditions. It is also used to treat many skin conditions such as acne, cellulite, stretch marks, scars, wrinkles and spot reducing and contouring for areas of fat such as a double chin.

The following is a list of cosmetic mesotherapy treatments:
Thinjection: A treatment used to contour different parts of the body. Effects are similar to Liposuction but Thinjection involves no invasive surgery and zero recovery time. The only side effect is slight bruising from microinjections.

CelluLysis: The most effective cellulite treatment in existence.

DermaGenesis: A wrinkle treatment that promotes regeneration of skin.
MesoLift: A treatment for sagging skin of the face and neck. Also used to retard the progression of wrinkling and to rejuvenate ashen complexions.
