Mesotherapy and Cosmoplastic Surgery

What is Mesotherapy Treatment?

Meso = middle layers of skin, dermis, which contain the most of structures of the skin like collagen, elastine and hyaline fibers, hair follicles, and others.
Therapy = medical treatment.

Mesotherapy is a non-surgical procedure for injection or application of multiple natural or chemical substances directly and locally into the skin at the site of the problem area(s). Medications are injected into the skin layers and the subcutaneous fat.

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 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.

With the increasing popularity of various cosmetic procedures, including Mesotherapy injection procedures, it is imperative that the prospective patient research and understand different issues like what the procedure can and cannot treat, inherent risks, costs, and so on. Keep in mind, cosmetic procedure is just that – a procedure whose results cannot simply be erased.

What Are The Advantages and Uses of Mesotherapy?

The advantages of injecting medication into the skin/fat include the elimination of side effects and contra-indications of the other surgical or non-surgical procedures.

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.

There are many studies on the clinical treatments and effects of these medications. However, there is no conclusive research proof that their effectiveness and results. The uses of mesotherapy include:

Who is the ideal candidate for Mesotherapy injection?

All patient can be candidates for mesotherapy if there is an appropriate indication.


How are Mesotherapy Procedures Performed?

- Mesotherapy is performed during outpatient sessions of less than an hour each.

- A typical course of treatment consists of ten sessions, though many patients see results after the first few sessions.

- The needles used in Mesotherapy are very short and thin so the doctor can deliver the medications to the right depth..
For white skin, a 4 mm needle is recommended, and
for black skin, a 6 mm needle is used.

- Before to a Mesotherapy session, we identify and map the area to be treated.

Then, the area 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.

Many unskilled Mesotherapists will forego this step because they were not properly trained in the evaluation and treatment of cellulite.


What is after?

- Recovery from mesotherapy is so simple that patients can immediately return to their daily routines.

- 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).


How Long Will These Results Last?

Patients must understand that the results of mesotherapy injections are not permanent except in rare cases. The treated areas will eventually regain its pretreatment condition within a year, so follow-up appointments are necessary.


How Much Do Mesotherapy Injections Typically Cost?

Often the price says nothing about the quality of the work. Most multicenter clinics charge much more than private doctors — their advertising budget is more and the owner of the clinic has to take his 20% or 30% off the top. In my opinion, you are less likely to get a quality procedures at these multi-center locations.

Although price is a factor when deciding on surgery, the most important factor is that you feel you are getting a good quality, natural-looking result from the procedure.

Mesotherapy injection costs are variable according to the deformity and the used medications. Usually the cost is ranging from 50 to 500 U.S. dollars per session. When dealing with costs, you also need to take into consideration the fact that the procedure may need to be repeated. Most medical insurance providers do not cover the procedure.
