Mesotherapy Fat Loss
Many people, even those who are in good physical shape, struggle with unwanted fat that won’t seem to go away. Even a healthy diet and regular exercise cannot fix the problem. The kind of mesotherapy Houston patients prefer uses a series of injections that deliver active ingredients directly in specific problem areas. These ingredients work to dissolve unwanted body fat and remove it from the body.
Mesotherapy injections use a solution of active ingredients that promote fat removal. The medicines found in the solution work to bust up fat cells quicker, stop fat cells from storing extra fat, and cause a quicker release of stored fat. These prescription medicines used in Mesotherapy injections are only available to physicians from an FDA approved compounding pharmacy. At LipoBodySculpture Houston, these medications are administered only under the supervision of Dr. Rodriguez.
Mesotherapy injections can be tailored to each individual patient and can improve common cellulite problems found even in people with thin bodies. Dr. Rodriguez also uses Mesotherapy to treat common skin problems such as looseness or stretch marks left behind after child birth or significant weight loss. Mesotherapy is a new, non-surgical method for getting rid of unwanted fat in love handles, jowls, cheeks, neck, and chin. Mesotherapy will also decrease the dimply look of cellulite.
Mesotherapy injection treatments are often used together with Lipodissolve injection treatments because both activate the body’s lymphatic, immune and circulatory systems. The two therapies together will help the body get rid of fat more naturally.
The Houston Medical Spa Mesotherapy Procedure
The procedure requires no local or general anesthesia. A topical anesthetic cream is available at the patient’s request. The procedure uses a small needle to deliver several injection spots just under the skin in the treatment area. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to finish injecting the medicines into the injection spots. Repeat injections are recommended every two to three weeks and the average treatment takes six to 10 treatment sessions total. The number of total treatments will depend upon the amount of unwanted fat to be removed, or the condition of the skin that is treated. Positive results can be seen in a just a few days after each treatment once the swelling improves.
Areas that can be treated by Mesotherapy
Almost any area of the body with unwanted fat can be treated with this procedure. Mesotherapy is used most often to treat patients who have not achieved successful results with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Recovery
There is very little recovery time because the procedure is non-invasive. Most patients will notice a little burning or redness in the injection site areas right after treatment. Ice packs and over-the-counter pain relief should eliminate these symptoms within 24 hours. Any swelling or tenderness will go away in just a few days after treatment. You can return to work and normal activity immediately after treatment.
At LipoBodySculpture in Houston, photos and measurements are taken of each patient before their treatment begins and after the treatment is finished. Significant, positive results are confirmed after four months following the end of treatment.
Risks
There are limited and minor side effects with these procedures. Complications are rare compared to similar treatments or non-laser liposuction. Side effects can include a mild burning, itching or prickly feeling in the treated area. As fat is broken down in the body, you may notice warmness or redness in the area, which should go away within a few days. A little bruising or swelling may also be noticeable but should not last more than a week following treatment. Mesotherapy Houston treatments have shown excellent results and very little side effects in most patients.
Houston Medical Spa Consultation
Each patient should schedule a private consultation with Dr. Rodriguez to thoroughly discuss the options of Mesotherapy treatments. It is important to tell Dr. Rodriguez about any and all medications you may be currently taking and your health history including previous allergies. These treatments are not recommended for people with major medical conditions including HIV, hepatitis, heart disease or cancer.
Mesotherapy is not intended to take the place of a healthy diet and regular exercise. These treatments are designed to help get rid of difficult areas of fat and cellulite that won’t seem to go away. It is also an alternative treatment option for people who are not suitable for liposuction or liposculpture procedures. These treatments can help correct certain problems such as male breast enlargement, uneven skin resulting from lipoplasty and liposuction, and benign growths of fat.
