| What Are The Benefits Of Mesotherapy Over Surgical Techniques Such As Liposuction?
Mesotherapy is effective in targeted fat reduction and body sculpting especially in the unwanted areas known as “love handles” or "saddlebags". Liposuction removes fat cells and subsequent weight gain is mal-distributed in the remaining adipose fat cells such as arms, neck and axillas. Mesotherapy removes fat from the cells and subsequent weight gain is symmetrical. Liposuction cannot be used to treat cellulite and often ends up making the cellulite more prominent to the naked eye. Mesotherapy treats cellulite directly, resulting in a smoother skin surface. Liposuction requires at least two weeks of downtime and the use of elastic garments while mesotherapy requires no downtime and patients can wear loose, comfortable clothing immediately following the procedure. Liposuction causes significant bruising and pain while mesotherapy only causes minimal bruising. Liposuction is a surgical procedure requiring general anesthesia, admittance to a surgical center, and a lengthy surgical recovery period. Mesotherapy is a non-invasive procedure performed in the privacy of The MesoSphere™ Medical Center.

How Does Mesotherapy Work On Cellulite/Fat?
The MesoSphere Medical Center physician will create a personalized custom formula specific to your grade or stage of cellulite. Components of the solutions utilized with the MesoJect System™ dissolve the fat (induce lipolysis) in the cellulite, invigorate the impaired circulation with venous and lymphatic flow, and induce cellulysis of the damaged connective tissue. The aesthetic appearance includes the smoothing and contouring of the skin surface. Mesotherapy is the most effective cellulite treatment available today and may be performed on any affected part of the body. Meso-Cellulite™ treatment is a permanent solution to unsightly cellulite areas.

How Does Mesotherapy Work On Skin Rejuvenation And Wrinkle Prevention?
MesoFacialBeauty™ mesotherapy utilizes vitamin and antioxidant injections under the skin to increase the metabolic activity in the cells, stimulate both collagen and elastin production and create a skin rejuvenation process. For wrinkle prevention, patients can start treatment in their mid- twenties with mesotherapy vitamin treatments to prevent wrinkles from forming. MesoFacialBeauty™ treatments of the face, neck, and hands are recommended up to four times per year. The physician will also recommend topical agents for daily care in between mesotherapy treatments.

How Does Mesotherapy Work On Weight Loss & Spot Reduction?
Meso-Sculpt™ mesotherapy targets specific areas or spots where your body stores excessive fat. The MesoJect System™ customized formulas are medically directed in a specific area and blocks the cells from storing new fat while helping them break down and metabolize the existing stored fat cells (lipolysis). Your body then naturally flushes out the metabolized fat via invigorated venous and lymphatic circulation. Meso-Sculpt™ spot reduction can be used for double chins, love handles, saddlebags, inner-thighs, inner-knees and on any other area where you have unwanted pockets of fat.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments necessary will vary based on your personal treatment goals and the medical recommendations for the extent of the cellulite/fat/skin/weight and areas of the body to be treated. The number of procedures ranges from approximately five to fifteen. Long term weight loss from exogenous obesity may require weekly treatment for several months that is personalized to the client's specific goals and supported by daily exercise, diet management and personalized vitamin supplements.

How Fast Will I See Results?
Results vary, according to your body type, treatment goals and the severity of your condition and the start of your treatment program. Patients often report seeing results within two or three sessions. For certain conditions patients may experience immediate results. Clients with regular exercise programs and strict diet regimens often achieve optimal results sooner.

Will The Results Last?
Yes, the results will last. Meso-Cellulite™ is a permanent solution to unwanted areas of cellulite. Meso-Sculpt™ or targeted body sculpting and spot fat reduction, including weight loss are effective treatments for long term fat and weight loss. However, keep in mind that maintaining your weight loss and optimal sculpting results will require a consistent exercise (with cardio and light resistance training) and food management discipline (with an emphasis on lean protein and low glycemic carbohydrates). You may elect to have touch-up treatments performed from time to time. Although aging is a dynamic process, patients can benefit from mesotherapy treatment as an important anti-aging and preventive medicine strategy.
