You have probably heard that to eliminate cellulite or promote weight loss, there is a medical treatment that involves applying small amounts of natural extracts, pharmaceuticals and vitamins through injections. This procedure is called mesotherapy. Today we will learn more about it and the different types that exist.
Body Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy allows for the elimination of localized fat and cellulite with great effectiveness and without having to use a scalpel. Sometimes it is not enough to follow a diet. Indeed, a person can be at his or her optimum weight, but have cellulite or fat accumulated in a specific area. This is why mesotherapy is the most effective method to fight these stubborn areas.
Despite this, it is still advisable to follow a low-fat diet before and after the treatment, avoid alcohol and drink plenty of water to eliminate toxins.
Body treatments such as mesotherapy are used not only to lose weight or eliminate cellulite, but they also help us fight stretch marks and small imperfections of our skin.
What Happens During a Body Mesotherapy?
A body mesotherapy consists of injecting small amounts of homeopathic (natural substances that improve peripheral circulation and skin elasticity, which are lost when cellulite appears) or allopathic (chemical substances extracted from plants with very effective substances for the treatment of cellulite) drugs through the skin, so that they act in the stubborn areas where fat accumulates.
This is an aesthetic medicine treatment that consists of eliminating localized fat and reducing cellulite with these injected substances. These substances stimulate the metabolism to achieve the desired results. The aim is either to reduce the volume or to reaffirm the skin that has become slack due to the fat it stores.
What’s the Difference Between Mesotherapy and Liposuction for Cellulite?
Mesotherapy treats cellulite directly, while liposuction is a body contouring technique that does not eliminate cellulite. One could say that mesotherapy intervenes on the factors responsible for the appearance of cellulite to reduce fat, improve circulation and make the skin surface smoother.
In short, mesotherapy reduces fat in certain areas, makes the skin smoother and prevents the reappearance of cellulite.
Facial Mesotherapy
In this case, mesotherapy acts as a cosmetic agent. It eliminates acne, scars and wrinkles. In general, facial mesotherapy improves the appearance of the skin.
It is a facial treatment applied by means of very superficial micro-injections for the prevention of facial aging, to improve wrinkles and flaccidity, and to obtain the revitalization of the facial skin. Your skin will be hydrated, nourished, smooth and soft.
What Happens During a Facial Mesotherapy?
Vitamin injections rejuvenate the cells, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. For this reason, it is a technique that is increasingly used among young people, as it not only eliminates existing wrinkles, but also delays their appearance.
The treatment of the face requires continuity, and it is recommended that the sessions be carried out with a certain periodicity so that the positive effects of mesotherapy are seen 100%. In most cases, the results are visible after the first session, but it is necessary to follow a continuous treatment with regular maintenance visits.
Before and After Treatment Care
In order to take care of yourself before and after the treatment, it is advisable to attend the mesotherapy session with clean skin, preferably exfoliated and, in the case of facial treatment, without make-up.
It is also recommended to avoid hot water for at least 8 hours after the mesotherapy treatment. It is also recommended not to apply makeup until the next day.
