What Is Mesotherapy?

It may come as no surprise that the French, known for their passion for aesthetics and beauty, developed mesotherapy, which can help achieve a slim, fit body and get rid of excess fat. Developed in France in 1952 by Dr. Michel Pistor for treating conditions such as vascular and infectious diseases and sports injuries and for improving circulation, this technique involves injecting small amounts of various medications into the mesoderm, that is, the fat and connective tissue beneath the skin. The aim is to dissolve the underlying fat.

When Is Mesotherapy Used?

Patients may choose mesotherapy as a solution for issues such as localized weight loss and cellulite. Mesotherapy may be recommended for overweight people who need treatment on the abdomen, hips, arms and legs, or for people who are not overweight but have excess fat around the abdomen and waist.

While many patients report seeing results after the first treatment, most say they are able to lose about one dress size or one belt notch after roughly four treatments. The recommended number of sessions ranges from 5 to 10, and the number of injections per session can range from 50 to 150.

Mesotherapy is not used only for slimming: for many years, it has also been used in Europe and South America to treat hair loss, cold sores, fibromyalgia and injuries such as ankle sprains. Mesotherapy is not a procedure chosen solely for cosmetic purposes.
