Mesotherapy

As we age, fat collects in pockets in the skin. With Mesotherapy (non-surgical fat reduction), Dr. Weinstein can effectively sculpt facial contours and reduce fat in the areas beneath the chin and under the eyes. Mesotherapy has been used for over 55 years to reduce the signs of aging and give patients a more youthful appearance.

Mesotherapy involves the injection of a custom-mix of vitamins, amino acids, and homeopathic medications just millimeters below the skin’s surface. Each ingredient is chosen for its fat-reducing qualities. The mesotherapy mixture dissolves and flushes out unwanted fat pockets in the skin. This popular alternative to facial liposuction delivers amazing results over a period of 4 to 6 weekly treatments. For the best result, periodic touchups, about 3 to 4 per year, are recommended.

Common Questions about Mesotherapy

Where did mesotherapy originate?
Pioneered in 1952 by the French physician, Dr. Michel Pistor, mesotherapy is a non-surgical, non-conventional injection technique with a broad range of applications. Mesotherapy promotes the body’s circulatory, lymphatic, and immune system to create a biological response.

How does mesotherapy work?
A small amount of medication is injected into the mesoderm (middle layer) of the skin, which results in increased blood flow, dissolving the excess fat deposits, improving lymphatic drainage, and removing hardened connective tissue. Mesotherapy works best in the chin and under eye areas.

Will mesotherapy work for me?
Mesotherapy works best when combined with a healthy diet and exercise. Reduction of fat pockets occurs over the course of several treatments and results are variable. Many patients use mesotherapy as a part of their facial rejuvenation process and may be able to use mesotherapy as a non-surgical alternative to facial liposuction.
