Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a safe,
natural alternative to invasive cosmetic procedures.
Dr.
Michael Pistor, the founding father of Mesotherapy, referred
to the treatment as "Surgical Medicine," meaning medications
are injected directly into the skin at the site of the
pathology or problem area(s). To treat cellulite, medications
are injected into the skin and the fat. During a cellulite
treatment of the legs, medications are injected from the
buttocks to the knees, including the front, back and sides of
the thighs.
Mesotherapy introduces
microscopic quantities of homeopathic medications, traditional
pharmaceuticals, vitamins, mineral and amino acids into the
skin to treat a variety of conditions. All medications are
selected for the specific condition being treated. For
example, the emphysema medication Aminophyilline is used to
treat cellulite because it's been proven to break down fat, as
has Isoproternol. Both medications work to achieve the same
purpose in different ways, which is why the medications are
often combined.
The needles used in
Mesotherapy are very short and thin. For white skin, a 4 mm
needle is recommended, and for black skin, a 6 mm needle is
used so the doctor can deliver the medications to the right
depth. By definition any medication injected into the skin,
fat or tissues of Mesoderm (middle layer of skin) is
considered Mesotherapy.
The advantages of injecting
medication into the skin/fat include the elimination of side
effects and contra-indications. Intolerance to a medication is
often triggered by factors such as dose and the body's ability
to break down and excrete the product. In many cases, formerly
intolerant patients can tolerate a medication in
Mesotherapeutic form.
As discussed in The
Cellulite Cure, once the medication is delivered, the body
is stimulated to heal itself. And because the target areas are
directly reached, smaller amounts of medication are needed and
the effects of Mesotherapy are instantaneous. Micro-injections
are relatively painless, and the potential side effects
limited to:
- Burning that can last
15-20 minutes.
- Minor swelling that can
last 1-5 days (this can vary with some patients).
- Minor soreness that can
last several days.
- Minor skin discoloration,
which resolves on its own, or can be treated with chemical
peels to remove it quickly.
- A slight risk of infection
(which may occur whenever an injection is administered).
The Treatment
Prior to a Mesotherapy
session, Dr. Stula identifies and maps the area to be treated.
Once the area is mapped, the site is cleansed with alcohol,
and the patient placed on the treatment table before
micro-injections are given. When treating cellulite, mapping
is extremely important, since most cellulite will disappear
when lying down, making it difficult for the doctor to know
exactly where to treat. Note: Many unskilled Mesotherapists
will forego this step because they were not properly trained
in the evaluation and treatment of cellulite.
Dr. Stula was trained in
Mesotherapy by the renowned Dr. Lionel Bissoon who introduced
Mesotherapy to the United States in the late 1990s. Nearly all
certified Mesotherapists in the United States practice
techniques pioneered by Dr. Bissoon. Dr. Stula encourages
patients considering Mesotherapy to educate themselves and
read The Cellulite Cure by Dr. Bissoon. It is also
important to understand Mesotherapy is not a substitute for
weight loss, exercise and healthy eating. It is intended to
help you to get rid of some troublesome areas that don't seem
to respond to your healthy activities.
BOTOX®
and Dermal Fillers
BOTOX® is the most popular
cosmetic procedure in the United States, offering instant
results at an affordable price. The beauty of a BOTOX®
Cosmetic treatment is that it's a simple, 10-minute,
non-surgical process.
As we age, the natural
support layers in the skin break down, resulting in the
formation of wrinkles. FDA approved dermal fillers adds volume
lost during the aging process by temporarily smoothing
out facial lines and wrinkles.
Treatment results are
immediate and there's no recovery time. You can even do it on
your lunch break.
