Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy originated in France in the 1950s and has now spread around the world. It is the practice of injecting small amounts of nutrients and vitamins into the skin to bring about healing properties to the treated areas. People from all age groups can have this procedure done. There are very few contraindications.

Mesotherapy Applications

As Mesotherapy stimulates the mesodermal layer of the skin, treating this layer allows the practitioner to reduce fat and establish body contours, reduce weight, facial wrinkles and creases. Currently, Mesotherapy is used to treat a wide variety of conditions including pain, alopecia, bone and joint disorders, and cellulite.

As your skin ages, circulation decreases and the resulting reduction of oxygen and nutrients hinders your body's ability to flush toxins. This is what drives premature aging and causes the skin to develop an ashen appearance. The UV sunlight photo-aging process can be damaging to your skin as well. Sun damage and progressive collagen loss, dehydration and devitalized squamous cell layers build up progressively and causes the skin to loose its resiliency and hydration (plumpness).

Mesotherapy is a safe, natural alternative to invasive cosmetic procedures. The mesolift delivers vitamins, minerals, amino acids and potent antioxidants directly into the skin to nourish and rejuvenate, promote production of collagen and elastin, replenish cellular hydration and stimulate skin metabolism.

After treatment, patients commonly describe their skin as looking rested, radiant, glowing and firmer. Mesotherapy can be used as a supplement or an alternative to many anti-aging regimens including botox, laser resurfacing, peels, anti-oxidants, topical creams and facelifts.

Mesotherapy is also a highly effective rejuvenating treatment. The procedure can be used to tone and tighten sagging skin on the neck, legs, abdomen, arms and hands. Women in Europe and South America have used this technique for decades to enhance their self-image and self-esteem.

Because of Mesotherapy's ability to reduce fat deposits locally, it is a wonderful alternative to liposuction. The mesosculpting body technique uses Mesotherapy micro-injections to reduce difficult spot areas of fat accumulation. This is a great alternative for patients who do not wish to undergo the risks of liposuction.

Mesotherapy can be done easily in the doctor's office. The desired areas of treatment are injected with homeopathic medications and vitamins. The procedure will take about 30-60 minutes depending on the areas treated. There is minimal bruising and swelling. However, the patient can return to his or her daily activities immediately after the procedure.

Most people will require 6-10 treatments to achieve optimal results. The treatments are spaced 1-2 weeks apart, but eating healthy foods and exercise will definitely help to maintain the positive results.

Mesotherapy is by far the most effective treatment for cellulite. Cellulite is a skin condition seen commonly in the hips, thighs and buttocks. The cottage cheese appearance or multiple dimples on the skin occurs in over 90% of post-pubescent women. It is not related to being overweight, as some people believe, but rather to genetics.

When Mesotherapy is performed, the cellulite area develops increased blood and lymphatic flow, decreases fibrosis of the connective tissue, and reduces fat deposits. The net result is a smoothing of the skin and the reduction of cellulite.

There are over 15,000 Mesotherapy practitioners in France, as it is a separate medical specialty in that country. Fortunately, we now have it in Canada. Call Pinewood Natural Health Centre and Anti-Aging Clinic for your consultation and to learn if Mesotherapy can help you achieve your goals.
