What scientific studies are available on the technology and treatment method?
There are hundreds of studies about the benefits of electrotherapy in increasing the circulation of congested tissue areas. We’ve started a study group to investigate the exciting new areas of aesthetic medicine and will use a panel of physicians to constantly update and refine new delivery techniques.

Our priorities are your safety, comfort and satisfaction. Our physician Dr Williiam Greenberg who practices cosmetic medicine assures the best service and treatment available.. We offer free consultations, non-invasive cosmetic procedures (many that can be done on your lunch hour), and little or no downtime for recovery. If you have any questions regarding any of our services, please contact us at 212 253 7138.

What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a safe, non-invasive anti-aging tool involving the use of microinjections of vitamins, plant extracts, enzymes, homeopathics or other medications into the mesoderm (middle layer of the skin). The process enables healing and corrective treatment to a specific area of the body by increasing circulation and by the removal of fat from surrounding cells.

History Behind Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a medical technique that originated in 1952 by Dr. Michel Pistor, a French physician. In 1987, the French Academy of Medicine recognized Mesotherapy as an inherent part of traditional medicine. The technique was first used to treat such conditions as vascular diseases, sports trauma, infectious diseases, rheumatology, and for the general improvement of ciruclation. However, soon after its discovery, physicians started using the technique for aesthetic indications. Today, 15,000 physicians around the world are using Mesotherapy on a daily basis for a variety of purposes including cellulite reduction, body sculpting, non-genetic hair loss, scar revision, and skin rejuvenation.

Mesotherapy for Cellulite
The medical term for cellulite is liposclerosis/lipoedema. Cellulite is a skin condition affecting over 90% of women. Even those with a slim figure often complain about cellulite's external lumpy, dimpled appearance. Cellulite commonly appears on the hips, buttocks and legs but is not caused by excess weight as many believe.

What is Cellulite?
Cellulite appears in the subcutaneous level of the skin. Fat cells are arranged in chambers surrounded by connective tissue called septae. As water is retained, fat cells held within the septae expand and stretch the connective tissue. Eventually this connective tissue hardens (sclerosis) holding the skin at a non-flexible length, while the surrounding tissue continues to expand with weight or water gain. This results in areas of the skin being held down while other sections bulge outward giving the lumpy appearance. Mesotherapy benefits for cellulite include improved blood flow to the area, dissolving excess fat deposits, removing fibrotic, hardened connective tissue, and improved lymphatic drainage.

Mesotherapy for Body Sculpting
 Is it possible to get rid of fat without having an invasive procedure? For those who find liposuction "too much", Mesotherapy for fat loss and body contouring is the answer. For patients who have already had liposuction and find fat depositing in other areas, Mesotherapy again is the answer. Microinjections of an individualize "fat burning" formula are given directly into the areas being treated (love handles, arm flaps, saddlebags, etc.) A series of treatments (3-10) are given spaced two to four weeks apart. Results are considered permanent as long as the patient adheres to a proper diet and exercise regimen. Occasional touch-ups may be required. Mesotherapy benefits for body sculpting include: it is specific to treat areas of concern,  non-surgical office procedure with no downtime. 

Mesotherapy vs. Liposuction
Liposuction does not treat cellulite and in fact, it often ends up enhancing preexisting cellulite, making the cellulite more prominent. Mesotherapy treats cellulite directly, and the result is a smoother skin surface. Mesotherapy also targets fat in trouble areas. The fat deposits flush out of the microinjection sites and filter out of the body through the lymphatic system. The body does not gain the fat back in surrounding areas as often happens with liposuction. Unlike liposuction, Mesotherapy is a non-surgical technique that does not require hospital admittance, general anesthesia, or downtime.

Mesotherapy for Facial Rejuvenation
Mesotherapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into the skin to nourish, rejuvenate, stimulate metabolism, and promote collagen and elastin formation. The increase in circulation nourishes the body with oxygen and nutrients, and removes toxins that fascilitate premature aging. Patients describe their skin as looking rested, radiant and firmer after treatment. Mesotherapy is an excellent addition to other anti-aging strategies such as dermabrasion and topicals.  Treatments can be used to tone and tighten as prevention, intervention, or maintenance of the face, neck, arms, and hands.  General recommendation:   1 treatment every one to two months for maintenace.

How many treatments will I need?
Mesotherapy typically involves 3-10 treatments depending on the extent and area of the fat/cellulite to be treated.

How fast are the results?
Results vary depending on body type and the severity of the condition. On the average, results can start to be seen after the second or third session. For certain conditions, results may be seen immediately. Often the patient's clothing will become looser and friends or family will tell the patient they appear thinner. Mesotherapy for body sculpting is more about losing inches than losing large amounts of weight. A proper diet consisting of unprocessed, unrefined foods and moderate exercise can help shed these inches faster, especially in conjunction with a detoxification program. 

Are there any side effects?
Mild swelling is expected in the treated area over the first 2 – 7 days.  Some patients experience mild bruising which also resolves within the first week. 

Are there any restrictions?
Mesotherapy is suited for people between the ages of 18 and 75 who are in overall good health and who aspire to look and live a healthier, more natural lifestyle.  If a component of the microinjection protocol is contraindicated, effective substitutes are available.  General restrictions vary depending on the condition treated and will be discussed prior to the initial treatment.
