Mesotherapy is a medical specialty which involves injecting microscopic
quantities of natural plant extracts, homeopathic agents,
pharmaceutical agents and vitamins into the skin to treat a
variety of conditions. Dr. Leroy will select
a formula customized to treat your condition. Mesotherapy can be
used to treat or assist in a variety of conditions such as: cellulite,
weight loss (spot reduction), aging of the skin, redundant (sagging) skin,
hand rejuvenation and neck rejuvenation.
Liposuction: Liposuction does not
treat cellulite and in fact often ends up enhancing preexisting
cellulite, making the cellulite more prominent. Mesotherapy treats
cellulite directly and the result is a smoother skin surface.
Mesotherapy also targets fat reduction in specific areas. The
fat deposits are excreted from the body and the body does not
gain the weight back in other areas, which often happens after
liposuction. Mesotherapy is a non-surgical procedure that does
not require hospital admittance, general anesthesia, or downtime.
There are no extensive medical evaluations, nor elaborate laboratory
data required prior to treatment.
Cellulite/Fat Treatment: Cellulite
treatment includes treating several factors. Dr. Leroy
will customize a formula to treat the fat in the cellulite,
the impaired circulation, and the bad connective tissue resulting
in a smoother skin surface. Cellulite treatment can be done on
any affected part of the body, e.g.: arms, stomach, waist, hips and legs.
Age Proofing and Skin Rejuvenation: Vitamin
injections under the skin rejuvenate the cells making them
metabolically active thus stimulating collagen and elastin production.
For age proofing you can start in your mid twenties with Mesotherapy
vitamin treatments to prevent wrinkles from forming. Treatments
on the face, neck, arms and hands are recommended 4 times a year.
Weight loss and Spot Reduction: Mesotherapy
can target specific areas or spots where your body stores excess fat.
The customized formula injected in a specific area blocks the cells for
storing fat and helps break the existing fat cells down. Your body
then naturally flushes out the broken-down fat. Spot reduction
can be used for double chins, love handles, and any other area
where your body stores fat.
Results vary based on your body
type and the severity of the condition. On the average, based
on the condition, the results can be seen in two to three sessions.
For certain conditions you may see results immediately.
You may experience slight bruising
which resolves over one week. To speed up the healing process,
we recommend several supplements such as Arnica to be taken orally
or topical ointments such as Traumeel to be applied to help decrease
bruising.
General restrictions vary with
conditions treated and will be discussed before treatments are
administered. You cannot wear makeup for four hours after
Mesotherapy is performed on the face. You cannot vigorously
exercise for 48 hours. No hot showers are allowed for 6 to 8
hours after treatments. It is recommended to eat a meal high
in protein prior to treatment.
