What is mesotherapy? This is a question you might ask if you have no knowledge of this body sculpting technique.

Mesotherapy is a technique for helping you attain the perfect body, lose weight and look and feel great. It involves receiving injections of customized cocktails of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and medication that your body needs for optimum health not to be confused with lipovite injections. The needles are inserted just below the outer surface of your skin, which is called the mesoderm, hence the name of the treatment. The therapists use specialized equipment, such as injection guns to administer the treatment. These are electronic instruments with a sterilized needle on one end and an attached tube that holds the injection solution.

In order to benefit from mesotherapy, you cannot rely on the injections alone. You have to take part in the process as well by ensuring that you get plenty of exercise, follow a healthy diet and drink 8 glasses of water every day. At your first consultation, the therapist will describe the procedure and discuss your reasons for taking this therapy. If your goals are unrealistic, the therapist will let you know this so that you won't be disappointed and you can alter your expectations for the treatment.

You do have to prepare for each session of the mesotherapy treatment, which is usually once a month. You do not have to abstain from eating or drinking because this is not an invasive medical procedure, it is more of a medical weight loss program. You should not wear any perfumes or makeup to the session because these may interfere with the effectiveness of the therapy. If you have a cold or symptoms of illness, you should reschedule your session for a later date.

There is a certain amount of discomfort associated with the after effects of mesotherapy injections. For example, you may have some bruising or soreness of the skin at the site of the injection. The therapist may recommend some over the counter medications that can help with this or you can use all-natural remedies, such as placing a cooled tea bag over the area or bathing the area in a solution of vinegar and water. Including larger portions of green leafy vegetables in your diet for a few days before the session will also help to cut down on the amount of bruising that develops. Ice packs are also helpful in reducing any redness or swelling.

Depending on your physical and medical condition, you have several options to choose from in mesotherapy treatments. Injuries, such as swelling of the joints or torn ligaments, for example, do not require as many treatments as do such conditions as alopecia. You can enjoy mesotherapy treatments to reduce stretch marks after giving birth or losing weight, to help reduce the pain associated with recovering from surgery and even to reduce the problem of constipation. Each one requires a different regimen of treatment.

If you are between the ages of 18 and 80, you can have mesotherapy. The therapist will review your medical history and take note of any prescription medications you may be taking. All this is necessary to ensure your health. For example, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, mesotherapy is not an option for you.
