Dr. Janna Crosnoe
asks, "Ever
hear of mesotherapy?"
This procedure was
just accredited
in the U.S. in 2004
by the American
Society of Asthetics.
This is not a new
procedure. Mesotherapy
is well known in
France, where it
was first used in
1958, and has now
spread around the
world. It's the
practice of injecting
small amounts of
medications and
vitamins into the
skin to bring their
healing properties
to the treated areas.
Mesotherapy is used
in this country
primarily for reducing
cellulite and fat
in unwanted areas.
Mesotherapy can
be done easily in
the office, taking
between 30 and 60
minutes, depending
on the areas treated.
There is usually
minimal bruising
and swelling, and
the patient can
return to his or
her daily activities
immediately after
the procedure. Pain
is minimized by
using both topical
and injected anesthetic.
Some people notice
results in four
sessions. Most people
will require from
six to ten sessions
per body area to
achieve results.
The treatments are
spaced one to two
weeks apart. Diet
and exercise will
help maintain one's
longterm results.
