Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is the practice of using micro-injections of conventional or homeopathic medication and/or vitamins into the mesoderm or middle layer of the skin to deliver healing or corrective treatment to a specific area of the body. Mesotherapy has been touted as the latest breakthrough for body sculpting, cellulite reduction and skin rejuvenation.

MesoLift - Skin Rejuvenation

Between sun damage and progressive collagen loss, the skin loses its plumpness and resilience. Mesotherapy skin rejuvenation or "Mesolift" infuses the dermis with potent vitamins and anti-oxidants to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin. Think of it as replacing the padding underneath a worn carpet. People who have had a "mesolift" describe their skin as firm, radiant, youthful and glowing. The "mesolift" is usually performed in an initial series of 2-4 treatments spaced a week apart. Results are maintained by twice a year touch-up sessions. Mesotherapy skin rejuvenation, ("mesolift") is a wonderful complement to any of the other skin treatments we offer including chemical peels, Botox® and dermal fillers, but can also be used on its own as a powerful anti-ageing therapy.

Mesotherapy for Cellulite

The Medical term for Cellulite is Dermatomyolipo-sclerosis. Cellulite is a skin condition affecting over 90% of most post-pubescent women. It commonly appears on the hips, buttocks and legs, but is not caused by being overweight, as many believe.

MesoSculpting & Body Sculpting

Mesosculpting is the answer to the question that so many people have been asking.

  • is it possible to get rid of cellulite without having some kind of invasive procedure?
  • Mesotherapy is absolutely the answer.

Micro-injections are given using a proprietary, individualized "fat burning" formula. These injections are given directly into the areas being treated e.g. "love handles", "bra bulge", "saddlebags" etc. A series of treatments (5-15) is given, spaced one week apart. Results are considered permanent as long as the patient adheres to a proper nutrition and exercise regimen. Occasional touch-ups may be required.

Mesotherapy for Stretch Marks

A combination of vitamins and amino acids, derived from herb and vegetable extracts, are introduced into and below the scar tissue. These non-toxic ingredients already exist in the body and have vital functions there, One of the key ingredients is an organic mineral called Silica that has the natural function of correcting irregular tissue in the body. Silica helps to correct the damaged scar tissue from within. Other ingredients used include anti-oxidant vitamins that encourage the production of collagen and elastin, the structural components of connective tissue, and a protein that enhances the metabolic and nutritional processes of the cells. Suitable for men and women of any age or skin colour who are looking to reduce the appearance of pink or white stretch marks and scars.

Benefits include:

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