What is Mesotherapy, Lipodissolve and What are the Alternatives?

Mesotherapy is a general term for the injection of materials into the middle layer of the skin for therapeutic results. Depending on the therapy, different “cocktails” of materials are used to treat a broad spectrum of aesthetic conditions, injuries and illnesses. In aesthetic medicine, mesotherapy has been used in the treatment of cellulite and from this evolved “Lipodissolve”, a treatment for spot fat reduction.

Despite the long history and previous popularity in many European countries these treatments do not have the demand they once did with the availability of newer technology. Most do not care for having to endure the numerous injections over several treatments in addition to a great deal of itching, swelling, warmth and soreness. Patient selection of these treatments is most important as with any treatment.

Mesotherapy or lipodissolve are not weight loss programs but rather adjunct treatments once your goal weight is reached. Poor patient selection with promises of complete fat reduction are not realistic leading to dissatisfaction and just another reason these treatments are not sought after as they once were.

At Derma Health Institute we offer different weight loss opportunities to help you reach your goal weight. Many times overall weight loss will reduce troubling target areas of the body such as undesirable regional fatty deposits and cellulite. For those areas that may not respond to diet therapy alone we offer treatments with our VelaShape. These treatments target areas using a technological combination of heat, radio frequency, and a vacuum action. This combination penetrates right to the level of individual fat cells resulting in smoother skin.

For more information on our weight loss programs or our VelaShape join us for a complimentary consultation so we may design the most appropriate plan for you.
