Ageing is a choice

Meso Reduce and Tighten

• What are the benefits of Mesotherapy over surgical techniques such as liposuction?

  Liposuction does not treat cellulite. In fact, liposuction often causes existing cellulite to appear more prominent. Mesotherapy treats cellulite directly, promoting smoother skin and reducing fat in selected areas. Fat deposits are flushed from the body and do not reappear in other areas, which often occurs after liposuction. Mesotherapy does not require hospitalization, general anesthesia, or downtime.

• What is Mesotherapy?

  Mesotherapy is a medical specialty that involves injecting microscopic quantities of natural extracts, homeopathic agents, pharmaceuticals, and vitamins into the skin. It can be used to eliminate cellulite, promote weight loss, treat aging skin and redundant (sagging) skin, and rejuvenate the hands and neck.

• Are the treatments painful?

  The patient may feel a slight pinching or burning sensation when the injections are administered. However, we can provide a topical anesthetic that makes treatment virtually painless.

• Are there any Restrictions?

  Restrictions vary, depending on the condition being treated. We discuss these with each patient before treatments commence. In general, patients are advised not to wear makeup for at least 4 hours after facial treatments and not to take hot showers for at least 6 to 8 hours. We recommend that patients eat a high-protein meal and avoid caffeine or other stimulants before treatment.

• Are there any side effects?

  A common side effect of Mesotherapy is bruising, which generally resolves over one week. To speed up the healing process, we recommend that the homeopathic supplement Arnica be taken either orally or applied topically on a daily basis. Patients may experience temporary soreness. This will subside within 24-48 hours.

• How does Mesotherapy promote weight loss and spot reduction?

  The exclusive formula used at Face Today Medi-Clinic prevents cells from storing fat and helps break down existing fat cells. Spot reduction targets double chins, love handles, and any other areas displaying fat pockets.

• How does Mesotherapy reduce or eliminate cellulite and fat?

  Mesotherapy treats three factors involved in cellulite formation. The doctor creates a specific formula to reduce the fat in each individual patient's cellulite, which improves impaired circulation and breaks down damaged connective tissue - thereby smoothing the skin's surface. Mesotherapy can treat cellulite located anywhere on the body.

• How much does It cost?

  The cost varies by doctor and geographical location. In addition, the total cost depends on the nature of the medical condition and the number of sessions needed to achieve the desired results.

• What are Mesotherapy's anti-aging and skin rejuvenation uses?

  Subdermal vitamin injections rejuvenate the cells, making them more active and thereby stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. People can begin anti-aging treatments in their mid-twenties to prevent wrinkles from forming. Treatments for the face, neck, arms, and hands are recommended several times each year.

• What areas can be treated with Mesotherapy?

  The procedure can be used to dissolve fat and tighten sagging skin on the jaw line & jowl area, neck, abdomen, arms and hands. In Europe, men and women often start treatments in their thirties, but Mesotherapy can prove valuable during any stage of ones life.
  
  Mesotherapy is also a highly effective rejuvenating treatment – see MesoGlow in our list of Skin Rejuvenation treatments.

• What can patients expect during their consultation and follow-up appointments?

  The first visit to Face Today Medi-Clinic will be a consultation. After filling out a series of forms, the doctor will review the patient's medical history and provide an in-depth explanation as to what Mesotherapy is. He will address any of the patient's concerns. 
Following this, the patient will have photos taken (for medical records only), which is one step taken towards charting her Mesotherapy progress (periodically the patient will take follow-up pictures to facilitate this). The patient is offered the choice of using a topical numbing cream for the Meso-tighen, which can be applied 45 minutes prior to Mesotherapy appointments.

• When do Patients see Results?

  Results vary depending on the patient's body type and the condition being treated. On average, patients notice visible improvement in two to three sessions. For certain conditions, patients see results after the first session.

• Which cosmetic conditions can Mesotherapy treat?

  Although Mesotherapy is used to treat a broad spectrum of injuries, illnesses, and medical conditions, it is also employed to treat cosmetic conditions, including acne, cellulite, stretch marks, scars, lipoma and wrinkles. It can also be used to reduce and contour fat.

• Will the results last?

  The results do last, especially when combined with exercise and proper nutrition. However, we cannot stop the natural aging that affects one's appearance. For this reason, we recommend regular maintenance visits.
