Mesotherapy for cellulite treatment is an effective cellulite therapy in which a special serum is directly injected into the application site to reduce the appearance of cellulite and to encourage fat burning. Your doctor will prepare a mixture containing hormones, herbal extracts, caffeine, etc, tailored for your needs.
What is Mesotherapy for Cellulite Treatment?
Mesotherapy for cellulite treatment is the use of standard mesotherapy applications to improve blood circulation in cellulite-prone areas to alleviate connective tissue problems and to encourage the burning of fat. Mesotherapy has many uses such as spot reduction and cellulite treatment, as well as skin problems such as wrinkles and scars, hair loss, and pain treatment. During this treatment, your doctor will inject a mixture 1 to 4 mm under the skin as which is specially prepared for the problem.
Mesotherapy for cellulite is considered a non-surgical cellulite treatment because it is not an invasive method and is not a surgical operation. Drugs and active substances used in mesotherapy serum are selected to break down fat cells and regulate blood circulation. After the dead fat cells are metabolized by the body, they are processed in the liver and finally excreted through the kidneys. After multiple sessions of this treatment, you will realize a decrease in the fat in a few months and an improvement in the appearance of cellulite.
How is Mesotherapy for Cellulite Treatment Performed?
Mesotherapy procedures are known by different names such as facial mesotherapy, mesotherapy for hair, and mesotherapy for cellulite, but the procedure is performed the same way. Mesotherapy for cellulite treatments is performed like standard mesotherapy procedures. Here are the steps of mesotherapy for cellulite:
- First of all, a local anesthetic cream is applied to your skin to prevent pain due to needles used during the procedure. The procedure starts after the cream shows its effect in at least half an hour.
- Your doctor injects the mixture prepared for cellulite treatment into the middle layer of the skin using fine needles.
- Mesotherapy needles are injected into the skin at a certain angle. The mesotherapy serum will be given in multiple injections, gradually. A large amount of serum is not given suddenly with a single injection.
- Depending on the scope of the application site, the procedure is completed in 15 to 30 minutes.
- Mesotherapy for cellulite treatment should be repeated multiple times to be effective. Your doctor will probably end the treatment after 10 to 15 sessions, depending on the severity of cellulite formation.
This treatment has many advantages compared to liposuction because liposuction can make cellulite look worse. Mesotherapy can be used on many areas of the body such as the hips, abdomen, and waist. Although the effects of this treatment are long-lasting, it should be repeated every 10 to 12 months to support its effects.
Causes of Cellulite
Cellulite is a skin condition that is generally seen in women and is thought to be related to the factors such as circulatory disorders and interaction between connective tissue and adipose tissue. Although it is generally believed that overweight people tend to get it, cellulite can form in anyone. Sudden weight gain, lack of exercise, and malnutrition are some of the factors that play a role in its formation.
Irregular skin appearance is the characteristic feature of this condition. Although it is not a serious health problem, many people seek treatment for this problem because it is aesthetically unpleasant. Cellulite treatment is not that easy and liposuction may not be effective for this problem. So mesotherapy for cellulite, which not only reduces the amount of fat but also improves blood circulation in the application site and promotes the repair of tissues, can do good in cellulite treatment.
Who Should Not Get Mesotherapy for Cellulite?
Mesotherapy procedures, including mesotherapy for cellulite, are generally risk-free. However, this procedure should be avoided in case of some specific conditions and diseases. These specific conditions and diseases include diabetes, heart failure, kidney disease, pregnant women, and breastfeeding women. Besides, as blood thinners may increase the risk of bleeding, people who have to regularly use anticoagulants are should avoid this treatment.
Side Effects of Mesotherapy for Cellulite
Even though mesotherapy involves incisions, it does not pose a high risk of infection and bleeding, unlike surgical procedures. However, if it is not performed in a sterile environment, there is a risk of infection due to the procedure performed via needles. Besides, although rare, side effects such as pain, swelling, bruises, sensitivity around the application area, and nausea may occur after mesotherapy.
