Mesotherapy is a non invasive slimming treatment that uses injections to melt fat. The melted fat is then flushed by the body. The injections contain different amino acids, drugs and natural ingredients. Mesotherapy has numerous advantages, but there are also some disadvantages.
Advantages of Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a popular treatment chosen by numerous patients that would like to lose fat. The treatment has many advantages:
- Surgery is not required, just 1 or several injections
- Minimal side effects, such as redness or swelling, and in rare cases there may be allergic reactions to the injection
- Minimal recovery time, less recovery time required than after any other invasive liposuction treatment
- Removes fat from problem areas by stimulating the body to eliminate the fat through natural functions
- Effective in reducing cellulite
Disadvantages of Mesotherapy
Some patients may require several treatments for optimal results, and the amount of fat eliminated may be less than the fat that can be eliminated through surgery.
Mesotherapy is not suitable for people that need to lose more than 15 pounds of fat. The results of Mesotherapy will be visible in a few weeks (4 to 8 weeks), as the body requires time to eliminate the fat. In other surgical liposuction treatments, there are visible results immediately after the procedure
This treatment is not suitable for people that have a needle phobia.
