CHAPTER II
Definition of Mesotherapy
FOR SPOT FAT AND CELLULITE REDUCTION
Mesotherapy is a non-invasive injection
therapy used to remove fat successfully exactly where you want. It is a cutting
edge alternative to liposuction, plastic surgery and other invasive cosmetic
procedures. This revolutionary procedure is the best treatment available for
treating cellulite, and allows many women to wear shorts and swimsuits for the
first time in years.
Here’s what satisfied patients around the
world are saying:
“I’m wearing sizes of clothes that I wore in college
and I have three children now.”
“My pooch is gone after 24 years.”
“I have curves now that I didn’t even have in
college.”
“I went from a size 12 to a size 8 in eight weeks.”
CHAPTER III
What Mesotherapy Can
Do for You
As I always tell my patients,
everyone should be on a low starch and a “good fat” diet. This means avoiding
the saturated and transaturated fats that are more likely to end up in arteries
and intra-abdominal areas where they cause the most damage.
A second use for Mesotherapy is for cosmetic and esthetic
purposes. Since Mesotherapy is an excellent technique for spot fat reduction,
its cosmetic uses are almost unlimited. More and more, it is being employed for
eye-pad fat.
A third application of
Mesotherapy is for the face and neck areas. It is an excellent treatment for
facial rejuvenation. There are a number of techniques and medications available
for these treatments, which all depend on the degree of aging of the skin, the
amount of wrinkles, and degree of skin laxity.
Some physicians call this a “Meso-lift,” and others refer to it as “Meso-glow.” Even a few doctors call it “Meso-rejuvenation.” Meso-lift is not my favorite name for it because it is not a true “lift.” However, it does tone up the face and gives the appearance of a lift in some patients. It is very good for rejuvenating the facial skin and usually gives a younger appearance. For about a week following the treatment, the patient appears to have a “youthful glow,” hence the term Meso-glow, which is the name I prefer.
Mesotherapy has also been useful in treating scars. As a physician, I want to know the patient’s background in relation to the treatment. The treatment of scars in people of color often makes the scaring worse instead of better. So Mesotherapy should be used cautiously on people of color and on anyone who tends to scar more severely than average.
Fifth,
Mesotherapy is used for cellulite. What
is cellulite? Cellulite is the dimpling that women around the world
have grown to loathe. Cellulite occurs in the subcutaneous level of the skin.
Cells are normally arranged in chambers surrounded by connective tissue much
like a honeycomb. As this connective tissue contracts and hardens, it can hold
the skin in place while the surrounding tissue can expand or flex with water
and/or weight gain. This results in some sections of the skin being held down
while others bulge: thus, dimpling.
Mesotherapy is the best treatment available for cellulite; however, in more
advanced cases, it may not be enough to remove cellulite completely. Mesotherapy
is most effective in the early stages; in more advanced stages of cellulite
damage, Mesotherapy may not be enough. It is, nevertheless, a very helpful
adjunct to other therapies. When using Mesotherapy for cellulite, it takes
longer to see results as opposed to the rather quick performance seen in spot
fat reduction.
Spot fat and cellulite are so common
nowadays that cellulite therapy is becoming more and more sought after. I
venture to say that in the future there will be very few people who haven’t had
a treatment at some point in their lives. Studies have reported that up to 95
percent of adult women suffer to some degree with problems of cellulite.
Reportedly, cellulite affects the self-image and self-esteem of women more than anything else. It can affect women of all ages regardless of their weight. I have seen it in women well within their target weight. Cellulite is usually found on the hips, buttocks, and thighs; however, it can appear almost anywhere. Ironically, women describe cellulite with terms of endearment such as “cottage cheese,” “orange peel,” and the all-time favorite, “hail damage.”
Why is fat reduction so difficult for so many people, especially women? Because cells in the lower part of the body store fat more readily than the cells in the upper body, thus making weight loss in some areas almost impossible for some women. Because of this, Mesotherapy has become the preferred treatment for many women.
A sixth application of Mesotherapy is found in hair restoration.
I have no personal experience in this area, and I have not heard enough
positive reports from my colleagues to prompt me into trying it. I have seen
cases with good results, but I don’t think that the percentage of good results
compares as favorably as the other areas that I have discussed. For a local
area of hair loss, it can sometimes be effective, but for male pattern
baldness, it takes many treatments and is not effective in most people.
Finally, Mesotherapy can be an effective treatment for
pain. It can be used for sports injury therapy and athletics, rheumatology for
people with arthritis, or helpful in chronic pain with any source. In ligament repair,
however, it will not cure a completely torn ligament, nor will it heal a
herniated disc. Obviously, it is important to have the condition evaluated by a
qualified physician to determine if you are a candidate for Mesotherapy,
especially when considering it for the treatment of pain. The advantage of Mesotherapy
is that a small amount of medication can be injected into the site of the pain
source and even to the area where the pain is felt. Unbelievably, that is not
always the same area. For example, pain that is felt down the back of the leg
actually originates from the lower back. This is usually sciatic pain, referred
to as sciatica. This and similar problems can be successfully treated with
Mesotherapy.
Another effective treatment for pain
is Prolotherapy (also called
sclerotherapy or ligament reconstruction). It is similar to Mesotherapy only in
that it is an injection to the site of the pain. It differs greatly from
Mesotherapy in its principle. Prolotherapy is useful for repairing ligaments
and joints. My personal preference is to use Prolotherapy for chronic problems
(problems lasting for at least six weeks) and to use Mesotherapy for acute
problems (recently occurred problems) such as sports injuries.
Acute
problems can also be treated with a technique called Trigger Points.
Additionally, acupuncture has been found to be effective on these acute injuries
because it is used to stimulate the nerves and
These are the most common
ways that Mesotherapy is used, and its future looks bright, with new or more refined
techniques being developed continually as millions of women seek its help for
spot fat reduction and cellulite.

True Stories
Here
are the experiences of several of my patients so you will have a better idea of
how Mesotherapy progresses. Some of these I documented and others the patients
wrote in their own words, telling their personal journeys with Mesotherapy.
Names have been changed to protect their privacy.
ANN
A
42-year-old, white female was first seen in my office desiring Mesotherapy for
upper thighs and lower abdomen. She had a history that almost caused me not to
treat her. She stated that the Hashimotos Thyroiditis and lupus were under
control. Fibromysoitis and a history of taking steroids caused damage to her
hips and both were replaced. The hip replacements were later recalled because
of the silicone lubricant, and both hips were replaced again. The right hip surgery
left a deep scar that looked like the
I explained
to her that with her history I couldn’t say she would have no problem with our
treatments. Since she might have a problem with her illnesses anyway, we
wouldn’t know the true source of any complication.
I
recommended she discuss it with her personal physician and she said she already
had. She decided she was willing to accept any risk and felt comfortable with
Mesotherapy. I’ll have to admit, I was very hesitant. But I also felt sorry for
her and really wanted to help her if I could. Since the medicine I would be
using is a natural substance in her body anyway, I didn’t worry so much about a
problem with that. I worried more about her developing a problem unrelated to
the treatments and blaming Mesotherapy. Obviously, I didn’t want to go to court
for malpractice, but this nice lady was probably going to have medical problems
throughout her life.
What led me to go ahead and treat her were
my desire to help her and the fact that she didn’t seem like the type who would
take advantage.
She asked
me to do Mesotherapy on both upper thighs and her lower abdomen. She also asked
if I could do a “touch up” around the scar area on her right leg where the fat
“pooched out” around it. I told her we could probably help it some, but I
couldn’t make any promises.
After just
one treatment, she was pleased with the results and wanted to be sure that we
kept working on the scar area. After two treatments, we had the area anterior
to the scar almost level with the scar, giving the appearance of a smooth
surface. The area posterior to the scar was better, but still was somewhat elevated.
After the
third treatment, the area around the scar was almost level with just the lowest
part of the posterior area being elevated. After the fourth treatment, there
were no longer any signs of the
JUDY
Judy was a highly successful businesswoman in her 40s who had liposuction in the past and was certain she never wanted to undergo that procedure again. She said, “I was down for two weeks and I still have some areas that don’t look right.”
She liked the idea of being able to get a treatment and then going about her business the same day without anyone knowing she even had a treatment.
She
wanted to get the fat off her arms and belly. She also wanted to smooth out the
“dents” in her buttocks.
We
began treatment and she was doing very well in the abdomen, and the “rear” was
gradually looking better. But I’m not sure she could sense the improvement in
her arms. When I pinched up the arms, there was less and less fat each time,
but when we measured her arms we couldn’t see much change because the skin had
not shrunk. Her right arm had measured larger than the left from the beginning,
and she decided to stop treating the left arm but continue on the right side to
see if the two sides would even out eventually.
She continued treatments on the buttocks and other smaller areas we had
been treating when she decided to start treatments on her double chin.
Each
of the next two sessions showed good improvement, but she said that her left
arm was still getting smaller. I explained to her that part of that was some of
the medicine still working, and the other part of that equation was that her
skin was finally getting tighter. The measurements in her arms continued to
improve for over a month as the skin gradually tightened, almost like balloons
after the air is let out. We just took the fat out and needed time for the skin
to adjust. I explain to all of my patients that I cannot promise the skin will
shrink all the way back. It depends a lot on their health and age, but most of
the time the skin cooperates.
This
patient has been one of my best. We have done fat and cellulite treatments just
about all over her from the chin to the knees.
One
day I asked her what her husband thought and she said, “I haven’t told him. He
just thinks I’m dieting and exercising.”
I
asked her how she explains the occasional bruise, and she said that with the
supplements I recommended to her to prevent bruising, she hardly ever had any.
But one time when he asked about a bruise, she said she just bumped into
something.
KATHLEEN
“My name is Kathleen, and I am 58 years
old. I began Mesotherapy spot fat
reduction treatments on my stomach. I have now had six treatments and I am
happy to report that I have lost 10 pounds. But more importantly, 7 inches from
my waist and abdomen.
“My abdomen area has been a problem for me
since the birth of my last child over twenty-four years ago. She was delivered
via C-section and my stomach has never been the same. I have dieted and
exercised for years trying to get these same results. I would firm up and lose
weight, everywhere but there. I would always still have that “problem area”
that nothing else I did could touch, until this spot fat reduction! Because of
my Mesotherapy treatments, I am now able to wear my clothes without that
“pooch” that used to make me so self-conscious.
“Needless to say, I am so pleased that
there was help for me without having to have an invasive or dangerous surgery.”
AMANDA
Amanda, a 33-year-old
mother of two, had tried several ways to lose weight after a
C-section with her second child. She had lost weight, but was still struggling with fat that had pocketed by her scar from the
C-section.
“I have tried exercise and dieted, and I
did lose weight, but there are
just those areas that aren’t going away,”
she said. She visited with me in
May 2004, and decided to try Mesotherapy for her abdominal area.
About eight
weeks later, after six treatments, the measurement around Amanda’s waist
at her bellybutton had gone from 35½
inches to 29¾ inches.
“I’ve tried lots of things
to target my areas of fat that were hanging
on after all those years. I’ve tried hard to get rid of them. Mesotherapy is
wonderful; it’s the best thing I could have done. It got me off that plateau.”
TONYA
A 42-year-old woman came
into my office wanting Mesotherapy treatment for cellulite in her legs.
“It’s really bad when your
teenage daughter tells you that you need to do something,” she stated.
I explained to her that
cellulite goes a little slower than spot fat reduction, and that she may need
as many as ten or twelve sessions to get the results she was hoping for. I was
sure we could help her, but I couldn’t make any promises, as everybody is
different.
After her second treatment,
I asked her if she had told her daughter what she was doing.
She said, “NO, I’m just
going to wait and see if she notices.” She said that her daughter was away at
her grandparents’ and she would just wait and see how things went when her
daughter got home.
When this patient came in
for her fourth treatment, she was ecstatic.
“I’m so pleased. I picked
my daughter up at the airport and she asked me if I’d lost weight. She said,
‘Your legs look better.’ I kept asking her if she really thought so, because I
loved hearing it.”
I asked her if she told her
daughter what she was doing.
She said, “No, I still haven’t
told her anything.”
But I’m sure she will
eventually! And, probably other people, too.
CHAPTER XIX
Summary
In these pages, I have shown you a good deal of information
about Mesotherapy ― its development, how it works, what is used in
treatments, and what you can expect from them. We have reviewed some of the
FAQ’s and shown you results of tests and studies so you now know that this
procedure is extremely safe and effective when done by a qualified,
well-trained physician.
I am sure you understand by now that the final
results depend on you as much as the physician. It takes both of you doing your
jobs to get the desired results.
Hopefully, you now have an understanding of fat metabolism,
and sugars and starches, and how they have definite effects on the results.
I have given you some exercise ideas that I trust
will get you started on your own regimen. These will make the results even better.
From here, it is up to you to find a Mesotherapist
that you feel comfortable with, and then follow the program to see what
wonderful results you can obtain. I expect you will do as well as most of my
patients.
Hopefully
in Appendix 1 you will find a Mesotherapist
who you will be happy with. And in Appendix 2, find sources for all the supplements you need.
Good luck and God bless!
