Mesotherapy: Now widely used in Europe and other countries, the practice of mesotherapy was first developed in France in 1952. It was recognized by the French National Academy of Medicine in 1986 as "an integral part of traditional medicine" (Mesotherapie & Estetik, 2006, www.mesotherapy.com). Mesotherapy can be used to:

reduce or eliminate cellulite and fatty deposits;
aid in the healing of various injuries or medical conditions;
rejuvenate aged skin;
and assist in weight loss.

Treatments involve localized microinjections of conventional medicines, homeopathic medicines, amino acids, and natural vitamins and minerals. The injections are delivered to the mesoderm, where fatty deposits reside. As these injections take effect, fatty deposits are broken down and existing fat cells are flushed out, preventing the storage of new fat and increasing circulation to the treated area(s). Over time, skin is restored to a smoother, firmer quality. The number of treatments needed varies according to the extent of the fat and/or cellulite being treated. Anywhere from four to sixteen treatments, given at one- or two-week intervals, may be necessary, depending on the goals of the patient.

Unlike liposuction, mesotherapy is non-surgical and does not require that a patient be admitted to the hospital, put under general anesthesia or forced into an extended recovery period. Mesotherapy treats the cellulite directly and keeps the fat from reappearing in other areas. Liposuction often only forces fatty deposits to appear more prominently in other parts of the body. Mesotherapy results typically last, especially when combined with proper diet and exercise. Most patients experience only a moderate amount of pain during the procedure, often a pinching or burning sensation as injections are given. The most common side effect is bruising over the injected areas, which typically goes away within a week.

Botox®: This procedure is widely-known for its ability to give a more "relaxed" look to the face. Injections of botulinium toxin are given into facial wrinkles, temporarily paralyzing and smoothing out the wrinkles. Results can usually be seen within a week of treatment and can last as long as four months. Botox® is FDA-approved as a cosmetic procedure.

Fillers: As opposed to Botox®, wrinkle fillers involve injections to the face's soft tissue, serving to give volume (to "fill") the depressions in facial skin that cause wrinkles to appear with age.

Prior to undergoing any cosmetic procdure, we suggest talking with your doctor. The professionals at Immune Recovery and Wellness, P.C., are trained to answer your questions and concerns about any of the above procedures. Please contact us for more information.
