MESOTHERAPY What Is Mesotherapy? Mesotherapy is a safe, simple, medical procedure which involves injections of small doses of pharmaceutical medications and/or vitamins, minerals and amino acids into the middle layer of the skin called the “mesoderm”. Mesotherapy is used to treat fat and cellulite reduction, body contouring and skin rejuvenation of the face, neck, and declotte. This non-surgical alternative has been used with phenomenal success in Europe for over 50 years. How Does Mesotherapy Work? Mesotherapy shrinks fat cells. The solutions that are injected shrink all of the cells in a problem area, so that the results are uniform and there is no risk of irregular hills and valleys. There are no binding garments to wear and minimal exercise restrictions. Your skin will tighten and smooth as the fat cells decrease in size. What Is MesoLift? Mesolift is an advance medical technique for skin rejuvenation of the face, neck and declotte. This technique helps to strengthen connective tissue and increase collagen production to promote a more youthful glowing appearance to the areas involved. What Are The Side Effects? Mesotherapy is a medical procedure, not a surgery. Side effects of the procedure may be a possible reddening, swelling and /or bruising around the area of the injections. These symptoms generally disappear in a matter of hours. Mesotherapy is generally suited for most people. General restrictions vary with conditions treated and will be discussed before treatments are administered. It is recommended that you not wear makeup for four hours after Mesotherapy. Your can not vigorously exercise for 48 hours. No hot showers are allowed for 6 – 8 hours after treatments. It is also recommended to eat a meal high in protein prior to treatment. What Does It Cost? The cost is dependent upon the area being treated and the amount of solution that will be required to be injected. Call Calgary Vein & Laser at (403) 252-4410 for more details.
