Our Services: Mesotherapy/Lipodissolve

Mesotherapy is the breakthrough medical practice that allows patients a non-invasive treatment for a variety of conditions. Mesotherapy involves the painless injection of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids just under the surface of the skin. This blend of medication melts the fat beneath the skin and shrinks fat cells, resulting in weight loss and cellulite reduction. The technique was first used to treat such conditions as vascular diseases, sports trauma, infectious diseases, and circulatory conditions. However, soon after its discovery, physicians started using the technique for aesthetic improvements. Mesotherapy has a variety of applications, including overall weight loss, spot weight reduction, cellulite reduction, hair loss reduction, scar revision, improvement of the quality and toning of skin, and the reduction of wrinkles. Jardin de Jeunesse provides all varieties of Mesotherapy procedures.

Typical results for Mesotherapy:

Overall weight loss:
Mesotherapy results are measured in inches. Because fat is melted under the skin, about one pound of fat per week is lost—equal to four sticks of butter! The Mesotherapy treatment is applied to arms, waist, hips, back, and legs all in one session. Patients can lose up to four inches on their waist, hips, and thighs.

Cellulite Reduction:
Mesotherapy is a permanent solution that eliminates dimpling and misshapen fat under the skin. Cellulite is an accumulation of fat, fluid, and toxins trapped in a hardened network of connective tissue fibers in the Mesoderm layer. The fat cells inflate, causing a rippling and puckering of the skin, commonly referred to as orange peel skin. Lymphatic and venous circulation is poor in these areas. Mesotherapy is used to cause an increase in venous and lymphatic flow, as well as the elimination of fat and dimpling in the area. A patient's skin appears significantly smoother. Most patients lose anywhere from two to four inches where their cellulite is treated.

Spot weight reduction:
Mesotherapy is a painless alternative to liposuction. Fat and cellulite are eliminated from targeted sites using the same techniques as above. Unlike liposuction, only the fat (not the fat cells) is removed. Some patients can lose two to six inches in their saddle bags, hips, thighs, waist, love handles, back, and chin when treated in those areas. Mesotherapy is not used to reduce fatty tumors or breast tissue in women.

Meso-Glow for Skin and Neck Rejuvenation
Mesotherapy can remove fat from under the neck, under the chin, and under the eyes, it is used to tighten loose skin and soften nasal labial folds (the groove that runs from the nose to the corner of the mouth). It also compliments dermal fillers in these areas. The effects rejuvenate the face, eyelids and neck without the harsh effects and painful recovery of surgery. The Meso-Glow is excellent for treating fine lines around eyes and lips. Treatments are usually spaced two weeks apart and the number of treatments vary from each individual to achieve optimal results - which is to eradicate wrinkles altogether. The results last anywhere from six months to two years or longer.

Hair Regrowth/Alopecia
Mesotherapy can help you grow new hair. Alopecia, the loss of hair, affects both men and women. Alopecia results from poor circulation, nutritional imbalances, and the excess of a hormone known as DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Mesotherapy can correct these problems, stimulating the body to naturally grow lost hair.

What is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is a technique, invented in 1952 by Dr. Michel Pistor, where medication is injected into the mesoderm, the layer of fat and connective tissue under the skin. Over the past 50+ years, in excess of 15,000 physicians world-wide have used Mesotherapy on a daily basis for a variety of purposes, including weight loss, spot weight reduction, cellulite reduction, scar revision and wrinkle elimination.

How does Mesotherapy work?

The medications that are used in Mesotherapy melt the fat beneath the skin and shrink the fat cells. The fat dissolves and, as occurs when fat is broken down during typical weight loss, is carried through the bloodstream and excreted by kidneys and bowel.

Cellulite is caused by connective tissue bands that hold down the skin, trapping the fat and thereby causing the "dimpling" effect. The medications used in Mesotherapy can help destroy the connective tissue bands and melt the trapped fat, creating a smooth, dimple-free appearance.

Who can have Mesotherapy?

Adults between the ages of 18-75 and in good health are candidates for Mesotherapy for weight loss, spot weight reduction, and cellulite reduction. Patients who are pregnant, on blood thinners, are insulin-dependent diabetics, on medication for heart arrhythmias, have severe heart disease, or have cancer are not candidates for cosmetic Mesotherapy treatment. Dr. Mansoury will discuss your medical history during your consultation.
