Mesotherapy is a minimally-invasive cosmetic procedure which is commonly used for body contouring to treat cellulite and reduce body fat. It is also used for facial rejuvenation. This treatment involves a series of injections which are administered into the layer of fat beneath the skin. The injection solution contains a mixture of vitamins, minerals, medications, and amino acids. Mesotherapy can effectively reduce the appearance of cottage cheese and dimpling associated with cellulite. It is commonly used for body sculpting on the belly, chin, hips, thighs, and waist.

Good candidates for mesotherapy include healthy individuals who are seeking a minimally-invasive treatment to reduce the appearance of cellulite and excess fat. Allergy testing prior to treatment is often required. Mesotherapy should not be performed on pregnant women, patients on blood thinners or medication for heart arrhythmias, or those with insulin-dependent diabetes or severe heart disease.

Mesotherapy is a simple in-office procedure that typically takes thirty to forty-five minutes to complete. Multiple sessions are commonly required. Patients can often expect an average of eight to ten treatments performed on a weekly basis. Anesthesia is not necessary as discomfort is minimal, though patients who are sensitive to pain may be given a numbing cream or painkiller prior to treatment.

The injection solution for mesotherapy is individually prepared depending on the purpose and the patient. A very fine needle is used to inject the solution underneath the dermal layer of skin into the subcutaneous adipose fat. The number of injections required will depend on the size of the treatment area.

Some bruising may occur at the injection site after the mesotherapy treatment, though this typically fades within a week. Patients may also experience a brief burning sensation immediately after treatment. Some mild to moderate soreness can also occur during the first one to five days after treatment. Patients are able to immediately return to work and their other normal activities after treatment.
