Mesotherapy: Non-surgical Weight Loss Treatment

Mesotherapy is considered to be a reliable treatment method for fat removal or body contouring. More recently, mesotherapy is also being extensively used to deal with weight loss, body sculpting, cellulite reduction, facial rejuvenation and wrinkle removal.

Process of Mesotherapy Treatment

In mesotherapy, necessary substances are injected in the area selected. Essential components such as vitamins, enzymes, hormones, nutrients are generally injected in the affected area. In the treatment of body fat reduction, lecithin and isoproterenol – namely for digestion of dietary fats and to breakdown fat cells respectively, are injected. The therapy usually demands a series of around 3 to 15 treatment sittings, monitored after interval of every 2 weeks.

Although the chances of side effects are very limited or too reduced in mesotherapy, few side affects have been reported in recent times. Some of them are:

• Immediate or delayed allergic reaction to the injected drugs/solutions

• Skin infections, bruising or pigmentation at the injection site
• Ulceration and scarring at the injection site.
