It depends on the patient's body. Some patients see results after one treatment session while others may require four to five treatments to begin to see results. Often the patient's clothing will become looser and friends and family will tell the patient they appear thinner. However, Mesotherapy is more about losing inches than losing large amounts of weight.

Is Mesotherapy different than liposuction and what are the benefits vs. liposuction?

Yes, it is very different. Besides involving no anesthesia and surgical risk, mesotherapy requires no recovery time. Mesotherapy also removes the fat from the fat cell without destroying it. We believe this helps give mesotherapy its natural appearance. Liposuction does not treat cellulite and in fact often ends up making the cellulite more prominent. Mesotherapy treats cellulite directly and the result is a smoother skin surface. Also, if you gain weight after having Mesotherapy, the fat will simply return to the treated area, unlike liposuction, where fat can start to occur in places that had been thin in the past, such as the arms, neck, face, and calves.

How does Mesotherapy work on cellulite reduction, weight loss and spot reduction? Mesotherapy can target specific areas or spots where your body stores excessive fat. The customized formulas are injected in a specific area blocks the cells from storing fat and helps break the existing fat cells down. Your body then naturally flushes out the broken-down fat. Spot reduction can be used for double chins, love handles and any other area there your body pockets fat.
