If you ever wanted liposuction, you now have a non-surgical alternative. Spot fat reduction or Mesotherapy is an effective means of getting rid of that cellulite with minimal cost.

What is Mesotherapy?

The Medical Term For Cellulite is Dermatomyoliposclerosis (DMLS) Mesotherapy, pioneered in the 1950s by French physician Dr. Michel Pistor, is the painless injection of vitamins, minerals, medications, and amino acids placed just under the surface of the skin. Mesotherapy has a variety of applications including weight loss, cellulite reduction, face and neck rejuvenation, and hair regrowth. Therefore, the injected solution is individually prepared depending on its purpose.

Unlike other medical treatments, mesotherapy is administered directly to the desired area. This limits side-effects, reduces the possibility of drug interactions, and allows for a substantial reduction in the amount of medicine utilized for each procedure.

What is Cellulite?

Celluite is a skin condition affecting over 90% of most post-pubescent women. Even those with a slim figure, often complain about cellulites "lumpy" dimpled appearance. Cellulite commonly appears on the hips, buttocks and legs, but is not caused by being overweight, as many believe.

Cellulite appears in the subcutaneous level of skin tissue where Fat cells are arranged in chambers surrounded by connective tissue called septae. As water is retained, fat cells held within the perimeters of this area expand and stretch the connective tissue. Eventually this connective tissue contracts and hardens (sclerosis) holding the skin at a non-flexible length, while the surrounding tissue continues to expand with weight, or water gain. This results in areas of the skin being held down while other sections bulge outward, resulting in the lumpy, 'cottage-cheese' appearance.

In short, its not your fault.

• Improved blood flow to the area
• Dissolving of excess fat deposits
• Removing fibrotic, hardened connective tissue
• Improved lymphatic drainage

Botox© is a simple and safe way to minimize wrinkles caused by contractions of the underlying facial muscles. Muscles around the eyes and forehead will overtime create wrinkles, lines, and furrows in the skin. By weakening and relaxing these contracting muscles, frown lines, worry lines, crows feet and wrinkles can be erased. Botox© is a quick and painless procedure designed to restore freshness, youth, and beauty to faces that have been damaged by the process of living. With over 2 million Botox© treatments performed in 2010 alone, one may quickly gauge the popularity and effectiveness of this cosmetic procedure.

By blocking impulses from the nerve and relaxing the muscle, the result improves the appearance of these lines and wrinkles giving a softer smoother look. When used in small doses in these mimetic muscles that cause the wrinkles of the forehead and face, the existing creases fade and the formation of new wrinkles will be prevented.Results after injection takes approximently 3-5 days to appear. Optimal results will occur within 10-14 days. You may return to work or other activities immediately after treatment.

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical exfoliating procedure which smoothes and softens your skin. It can be used on the face, neck, chest, arms, elbows, and knees. It is effective on both light and dark skins and cures such conditions as:

• Dull, oily or leathery skin texture
• Enlarged pores and congested skin
• Exfoliating and suctioning clogged pores in acne cases

When you exfoliate dead skin cells your skin is smoother, less blotchy and healthier skin in about 30 minutes. The procedure has virtually no discomfort, downtime, or recovery.

How long does the treatment take?

Each procedure takes between 30 and 60 minutes (so it can even be done on your lunch break) and should be repeated at intervals of 1 to 2 weeks depending on skin type and condition. After the procedure, there is a slight blushing of the skin, which disappears within one or two hours.

I also want to get Botox©; is it safe to do these together?

Yes. Microdermabrasion is the perfect compliment to other procedures including Botox© Cosmetic or Restylane©.
