J. WALTENSPIEL SKIN AND BODY CLINIC: The Mesotherapy Experience

Probably you have heard a lot about lipo-dissolve treatment - its also just the same as mesotherapy! Well, in general, mesotherapy is a treatment wherein it employs administration of homeopathic medicines into the mesoderm (middle layer of the skin), thru multiple injections to allow effective delivery of these medications to a specific target area of the body. Its most popular usage is to disintegrate fat cells to effect cellulite breakdown and hence inch by inch fat reduction. It is not only used primarily for weight loss alone, but for body sculpting too. So in mesotherapy, you are like hitting two birds with one stone, because it will not only result to fat loss, but also, it will sculpt the area of the body and tone the skin where the fat has been lodged for years. If you have already tired yourself working out in the gym to lessen the bulge of your "love handle" but still failing to do so and quite disappointed already, now its your chance to totally eliminate it once and for all thru lipo-dissolve treatment or mesotherapy.

Aside from fat loss and body sculpting benefits, mesotherapy has a variety of uses. It can also be used for facial rejuvenation, improvement of skin tone, elimination of fine facial lines, hair re-growth treatment, as an adjunct in acne therapy, lightening of darkly pigmented areas and improving unsightly stretch marks.

Recommended interval of treatment for mesotherapy is every 2 weeks for a minimum of 3 to 4 sessions to see results.

The procedure lasts for 30 to 45 mins. In our clinic, we incorporate Radiofrequency (RF) Treatment for 30 mins followed by mesotherapy. This will allow easy dispersal of the mesotherapy medicines in the fatty tissue since blood vessels become dilated and permeable because of the action of deep tissue heating on it. The patient can experience pain during the procedure, but still its tolerable. He/She can take pain reliever after the procedure to minimize pain. Brusing is a common phenomenon immediately after the procedure, but it is usually mild and eventually disappears after 3 to 4 days.

Here are BEFORE and AFTER photos of my patient who has undergone 3 sessions of mesotherapy 2 weeks apart. The area he is most concerned about is his flanks (side bulges or love handles), so we focused on it. Note the remarkable loss of fats especially at the side bulges. And it also apparent on the photos that the front abdomen were also affected by the reduction, though we only focused on the flanks. Notice also that after losing the fatty bulges at the flanks, the skin doesn't look lax but instead it appears firm, toned and sculptured. There is also a modest improvement of skin tone on the treated areas.
