Body Mesotherapy: a solution for cellulite
Cellulite is an aesthetic problem that affects a large percentage of the population, especially women. It is an alteration of the skin that gives it an irregular appearance with dimples, known as “orange peel skin”.
Although it is not a disease, many people seek treatments to eliminate cellulite and recover the smooth and firm appearance of the skin. One of the most innovative techniques to treat this problem is body Mesotherapy.
What does body Mesotherapy consist of?
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive technique that consists of applying microinjections of different active ingredients to the area to be treated. It is performed with very fine needles that allow precise diffusion in the dermis, the middle layer of the skin.
In the case of cellulite, body Mesotherapy allows direct action on localized fat nodules and the dermal alteration responsible for the irregular appearance. Lipolytic actives, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other biostimulating compounds are supplied through microinjections.
This technique offers multiple benefits:
- It is very precise, as the active ingredients are applied directly to the affected areas.
- The effects are visible from the first sessions.
- It is not invasive, it is performed on an outpatient basis and does not require anesthesia.
- It does not leave scars.
- The results are natural, it does not give a bulky appearance.
- It can treat difficult areas such as hips, thighs, or buttocks.
Mechanism of action
Body Mesotherapy acts at three levels to effectively combat cellulite:
- Dermal level: microinjections with vitamins, minerals, and amino acids promote tissue oxygenation and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. This improves the appearance of the skin, making it smoother, firmer, and more elastic.
- Hypodermal level: lipolytic principles such as phosphatidylcholine, carnitine, or caffeine act on adipocytes, the fat cells. This causes the mobilization of localized fat deposits.
- Vascular level: biostimulating actives improve blood and lymphatic circulation, promoting the elimination of fluids and toxins. This reduces retention, one of the factors that worsen cellulite.
Together, these effects allow for the progressive elimination of fatty nodules, flaccidity, and visibly improve skin texture.
Indications and results
Body Mesotherapy is especially recommended in the following cases:
- Cellulite in initial to moderate stages.
- Stubborn cellulite that does not respond to changes in diet and exercise routines.
- Cellulite localized in areas such as hips, buttocks, abdomen, or thighs.
- Mild to moderate flaccidity associated with cellulite.
- Patients who wish to improve the appearance of their skin without surgery.
It is important to follow the recommendations of the Beauty Devices expert to determine the number of sessions necessary according to each patient’s case. The most common is to perform between 8 and 15 sessions, with a weekly or biweekly frequency.
Visible results include:
- Reduction of orange peel skin.
- Attenuation of dimples and nodules.
- Improvement of skin tone and firmness.
- More defined body contour.
- Decrease in measurements due to the elimination of localized fat.
It should be noted that Mesotherapy is not used for general weight loss, but acts on very specific areas of fat accumulation and flaccidity. The results are natural and progressive, not immediate. It requires several sessions to complete the treatment.
